Huh? Bisexual and lesbian women can still have kids if they want to.

But I don't think humans and AI can.

Well Faye and Bubbles probably won't be having kids that have Bubbles's genetic material. (Though this is QC, so who knows what Hanners's dad might have created by now...) But even assuming that's impossible, that still doesn't mean that Mrs Whitaker won't have any grandchildren who are biologically related to herself.
Unless IVF with donated sperm is restricted to heterosexual couples with fertility problems in the QC universe... which I'd find extremely unlikely because that's not in line with Jeph's views on creating an world where one of the main themes is inclusion. Of course, one of Jeph's other strong views was "no babies in my comic" so it's probably pretty unlikely that we'd see Faye having kids unless he's changed his mind on that point. But my point is that whether or not Mrs Whitaker gets grandchildren is dependent on whether or not Faye or Amanda want to have kids and not on the relationships they're in.
Mr Intrepid:
My bet for a baby would be Tai, with Sven as a donor.
Is it cold in here?:
Jeph has said no babies, but he is free to change his mind, as he did about organic-synthetic sexual relationships.

If they're going to go the baby route, why not have Bubbles and Faye create a little baby AI (with the help of some of their more computer minded friends no doubt) and raise it? That would be interesting to see, and since it's an AI it could "grow" into a full character fairly quickly rather than the living prop babies in other stuff always are.
Okay, I'll be honest, I just want a window into how an AI like Momo and an AI like Pintsize could end up both coming into existence.
BenRG:
Well, that's going a lot better than it could. I mean, Mrs W would be less than realistically-characterised if she wasn't a little surprised that Faye was in a relationship with an android! Still, no outright fury or denial.
I wonder if Bubbles is making herself a tea in an effort to make escaping to her happy place easier?
