Their relationship could develop through shared hobbies. For instance, if Penny starts to show more interest in Leonard's scientific work, it can bring them closer. They can have deep conversations about his research, and Leonard can teach her new things.
A popular story could be about how they first met and the initial attraction. Leonard was smitten with Penny right from the start, and Penny gradually saw the good in Leonard. Their first date, which was filled with nervousness and some awkward moments, was a key part of their relationship's origin. Also, their story of living together brought new challenges and joys. They had to learn to share space, deal with each other's habits, and that was an important aspect of their relationship development.
We can focus on their friendship. Their friendship was the foundation of their relationship. We can write about the times they just hung out as friends, like when they watched movies together or had game nights with their friends. This shows a positive side of their relationship without any inappropriate elements.
A typical theme would be the support system around them. Their friends would play a big role in this fanfiction. For example, Sheldon might struggle with the idea of there being a baby in his close - knit group but still end up being surprisingly helpful. And the theme of family could be explored, not just the family they are creating but also their extended families. Maybe Penny's family has some old - fashioned ideas about pregnancy and child - rearing that conflict with what she and Leonard want, leading to some interesting plot twists.
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.
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.
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.
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.
