Their friends would likely be very surprised at first. Gerald, for example, might be a bit shocked but would soon offer his support. Phoebe could be excited and would probably offer to help with things like babysitting or giving advice on baby - related matters. The other kids in the neighborhood might be curious and would want to visit the baby often.
Some of their friends could be a bit skeptical at first, thinking that Arnold and Helga are too young to handle a baby. However, as they see how dedicated Arnold and Helga are to taking care of their child, they would come around. Rhonda might initially make some snide comments but later would become fond of the baby and bring little gifts for it.
Their friends' reactions would vary. Gerald would probably be the most practical one, helping Arnold with things like building a crib or finding affordable baby supplies. Phoebe would be more emotionally supportive, always there to listen to Helga's concerns. And the other kids in the neighborhood would create a sense of community around the new family, with everyone pitching in to make the experience of raising a baby a bit easier for Arnold and Helga.
One possible plot could be that Arnold and Helga struggle to adjust to life as new parents. Maybe they face financial difficulties at first, but with the support of their friends and family, they manage to get through. The baby could also bring out a new side of their relationship, making them more understanding and loving towards each other.
Love is a common theme. Despite their differences, Arnold and Helga's love for each other and their baby is often explored. It's about how their love grows and matures.
The relationship between other characters would also be affected. For instance, Gerald, Arnold's best friend, might have to adjust to this new side of their friendship. He might be supportive, or he could be a bit skeptical at first. And characters like Phoebe, Helga's friend, would also have to adapt to Helga being more open about her feelings for Arnold.
Their friends would probably be really excited at first. Raven might be a bit reserved but still happy for them. Cyborg would likely be the most enthusiastic, already thinking about building cool toys for the baby.
Sakura would probably be a bit surprised at first, but then she'd be happy for Naruto. She might offer to help with the baby's medical needs. Kakashi would be his usual calm self, giving Naruto some sage advice on fatherhood. As for Konan's friends from Amegakure, they might be a bit more hesitant, but once they see how happy Konan is, they would come around and support the new family.
Well, some friends might be a bit worried at first. If Serena and Darien are new to parenting, their friends could be concerned that they won't be able to handle it. But then as they see Serena and Darien adapt, the friends would become more supportive and be there for them.
Their friends would be really excited. Chad would probably be happy and offer to help with any heavy lifting or physical tasks around the house for when the baby arrives. Uryu might be a bit more reserved but still show his support in his own way, like making some special baby clothes. Rukia would be thrilled and would be constantly visiting, giving Orihime advice on motherhood.
Kim might be shocked at first. She's used to Ron being her sidekick and Shego being an enemy. But she could come around and be a sort of godmother figure, helping out when needed. Rufus would probably be excited. He'd be like a little furry uncle to the baby, always there to play and keep the baby entertained.
The friends would probably be a great support system. May and Max could bring gifts for the baby, like cute Pokémon toys. Dawn might offer to babysit so Ash and Misty could have some time for themselves. All of their friends would be there to celebrate the new addition to the family and would help out in different ways as the baby grows up.
Pikachu would probably be very protective of the baby. Since he's Ash's closest Pokémon partner, he'd be like a little guardian. Brock would likely offer his help and advice on taking care of the baby, as he has some knowledge about it. Misty might be a bit shocked at first but would eventually warm up and be like an aunt to the baby.
