Limit child object return quantity in query?

I want to limit the return on the child objects in a query using a pipeline resolver (JS). Below is a sample of what I'm trying to do, my actual pipeline is more complex with multiple functions.

type Parent {
  Name: String
  FamilyName:String
  Children(limit: Int): [Child]
}

type ParentConnection {
  items: [Parent]
  nextToken: String
}

type Child {
  Name: String
}

getParents(familyName: String!, limit: Int): ParentConnection 

export function request(ctx) {
  return {
    operation: 'Query',
    index: 'familyName-index',
    limit: ctx.args.limit,
    query: {
      expression: '#familyName= :familyName',
      expressionValues: util.dynamodb.toMapValues({ ':DWGName': ctx.stash.familyName}),
      expressionNames: { '#familyName': 'familyName' },
    },
  };
}

export function response(ctx) {
    return ctx.prev.result
}

query MyQuery {
  getParents(FamilyName: "Jones") {
    items {
      Name
      Children(limit: 2) {
        Name
      }
    }
  }
}
