I'm going with BumbleBeeTheta... It will be a girl, whos name would be Nova L. Fry (L=Leela). and thanks to FemJesse, we can get an idea of what she would look like This is all from A Helping Hand if anyone wants to read, what I think is, the best story written.

Red? Purple? One eye? Two eyes? The haircolor might most easy to be answered. As it does in most cases - a child's haircolor is the mix of those of the parents. Sometimes the genetic information makes "a jump over a genaration" and the child has the haircolor of the grandparents. This is explained by the so called "trash genes", actually not used genes in our DNA which can be active in future generations. Cyclocephaly (or -cephalie ?): Cyclocephalic babies are born with none eye, two eyes partly melted together or - in most cases - one eye. It's unknown if the Cyclocephalic-gene is dominant to the two-eyes-genes or if it is otherwise. Basing on that knowledge we could maybe calculate if a possible child of Leela and Fry would have one or two eyes. Anyway, it would be a wild genetical mix. (About genetical mix ... Teral, wasn't there once this episode where Worf and Dax wanted to have a baby and Dr Bashier told them he first has to check if this would go well genetical? I hope you'll know a bit more about this.) For everyone interested in talking more about Cyclocephalic sciences and Leela's eye in general we have this thread.

Yes, Bashir had to conduct some tests, and later gave Dax a medicine called "ovarian resequencing enzymes" which is a Starfleet fetility drug. If the treatment was succesfull Dax and Worf would be able to have a child. In "Tears Of The Prophets" Bashir tells Dax the medicine is working, meaning a child was possible. Except, some unfortunate things happened in TOTP... Hair color is determined by which gene is dominant and which gene is recessive. For instance, the gene for blond hair is recessive and the gene for brown hair is dominant (if I remember correctly), hence why blond people have 2 "blond" genes. Thisis also why some traits can "skip a generation", because those traits are recessive. Basically the eye/hair color question depends, whether the "purple hair gene" and the "cyclops eye gene" is recessive or dominant. Luckily the ponytail gene is dominant.

It's all probability in genetics...
Philip Fry (R, 2eye); Yancy Fry Jr. (BR, 2eye)- Philip Fry Jr (Br, 2eye) from Yancy Fry(BR, 2eye); Mother (R, 2eye) from Enos (paradox rules) (R, 2eye); Mildred (BR, 2eye) assume these are MATERNAL grandparents
Let's say that Red is the dominant (through Enos/Fry to Mother to Fry)on the mother’s side as Yancy Jr. did not pass the red hair onto Philip Fry Jr.. Red would be the recessive on the male through the Irish background. And obviously, two eyes is the dominant. As a note, all members of the Frys have the characteristic “Prong” hairstyle (excluding Mildred and Yancy Jr’s wife, but the gene is still clearly the dominant).
Turanga Leela (P, 1eye) from Turanga Morris (P, 1eye, V); Turanga Munda (P, 1eye, T)
With Leela inheriting only the purple hair and single eye, and neither the tentacles nor vertical mouth, and with her claim as “least mutated mutant”, let us assume that all mutant traits are recessive when dealing with Leela.
Turanga Leela (P, 1 eye) + Philip Fry (R, 2 eye) Dominant-2 eye, R, P Recessive- 1 eye, BR,
Chances are highest that offspring of Turanga Leela and Philip Fry will have two eyes, with either purple or red hair, unless unknown genetics become involved.

Originally posted by Fridge: A son, two eyes and brown hair- called Yancey, after Fry's brother. Bravo, excellent idea. That would be so touching if Leela and Fry gave that name to thier son. However, as mentioned, Yancy really wasn't overly fond of his name so perhaps they'd make Yancey thier son's middle name. Here are some of my idea's for what thier son's name would be if they had a son. (Note the use of "Y" as the middle initial and the generally trippy nature of the first names): Anlon Y. Fry - Anlon means great champion! Sun Y. Fry - He's their son and his name is Sun! Get it? Man, I'm lame...It's also a Korean name meaning goodness. Turanga Y. Darin - Hey, it's the distant future, perhaps they'd give him his mother's family name. Okay, as pathetic as that was....there you have it.

Leela is just a biiiit short sighted in that fic...

I wasn't being literal, just using the power of puns. Read the fic, you'll see what I mean. Honestly, I find BBT writing to be rather stilted, and overly emotional, with a few too many "homages". My favorite romance fic is either "Second Chance" or "Delicious Surprise"

I find the argument of offspring having two eyes is the most compelling. But hair is harder to figure out, considering that all the Turangas on the show have purple hair, while Fry's family is either red or brunette. We are left in the dark when it Leela's genetic family tree, but a child of theirs(being only half mutant) would likely be fairly un-mutated.

Probabilitywise, two eyes is dominant. Fry's side is completley two-eyed, and it's an anomaly on Leela's side.
Red hair IS a dominant in Fry's case, if you look at his backround (I did this on the page already) and his Irish heritage.
