Howard and Bernadette would be great godparents. They are good friends with Penny and Leonard, and they already have experience with raising a child. Howard could teach the baby some engineering tricks, while Bernadette could offer motherly advice.
Raj could also be a godparent. He has a soft spot for the couple and would be very affectionate towards the baby. He might introduce the baby to his love for astronomy, taking the baby out at night to look at the stars.
In this fanfiction, perhaps the baby brings a new sense of purpose to Penny and Leonard's relationship. They might have to learn to communicate better as they have different parenting styles. For example, Penny might be more laid - back while Leonard could be more cautious. The story could also involve their family members' reactions to the new addition to the family. Their parents might visit and give all sorts of advice, which could create some comical or heartwarming scenes.
Their relationship would likely become more centered around the baby. They would have to make decisions together for the baby's well - being.
Ross would be a likely candidate. He's Monica's brother and has a long - standing relationship with Chandler. He would be very protective and also a bit over - enthusiastic in his role as godparent, always trying to give the baby scientific facts or tell it stories about dinosaurs.
In fanfiction, Leonard and Penny might have a laid - back parenting style. Given Leonard's somewhat nerdy yet kind nature and Penny's more outgoing and fun - loving personality, they could balance each other well. For example, Leonard might be the one to help with homework and encourage academic pursuits, while Penny would be all about taking the baby out for adventures and teaching them to be social.
Harry would be an obvious choice as the godfather. He and Ginny are married and he is very close to their family. He has been through so much with Ginny and would be a great source of protection and guidance for the baby.
Marilla could be considered as a godmother. She has been like a mother to Anne and would surely be a great influence on the baby. For a godfather, perhaps one of Gilbert's close friends from school. Someone who is responsible and shares Gilbert's values, like his friend who was also interested in medicine and could pass on good work ethics to the baby.
Thea could also be a great godmother. She's Oliver's sister and has grown a lot. She could be there to spoil the baby and also teach it some important lessons about family and loyalty.
The fanfiction could explore how Penny's pregnancy affects her acting career. She might have to turn down some roles because of her condition, which could lead to some self - doubt and worry. Leonard, being the supportive husband, tries to cheer her up by telling her how amazing she is and that she'll be back in action after the baby is born. And perhaps they discover some new things about each other during this time, like Penny's sudden craving for Leonard's special scientific - themed cookies he bakes on rare occasions.
Well, at first, it might be a bit of a struggle. There could be arguments over who does what more. But as they figure things out, they would realize how much they need each other. The baby would be a symbol of their love and commitment, and they would work hard to make their relationship work for the sake of their child. They would also find new things to love about each other as they see how the other interacts with the baby.
One idea could be that the baby has an unexpected talent for music, just like Leonard's mother. Penny and Leonard could be both surprised and proud. Another could be that the baby has a unique way of making friends in the neighborhood, which leads to some heart - warming and funny stories for the couple.
