They are starting to get too old, both actor's ages and ages of characters (approaching early 30s) - to the point that its not cute, its sad, if they are not moving forward either in relationships, careers or as characters. So its time for some big developments.

If season 7 is the final year, this is what I would do:

Season Premier - After much fretting (maybe confiding in Amy and Bernadette), Penny tells Leanard she's pregnant. And she wants to get married. Leanard is susprisingly reluctant, but agrees in the end. As they are engaged, they decide to live together, allowing the newly-coitus-experiencing couple Sheldon and Amy, to live together across the hall. This would make for a nice change of pace, and it would be fun to watch how Penny and Leanard deal with pregnancy. I would get Bernadette preggers soon after, so she and Penny experience it together.

Season finale - After much lobbying for his pregnant wife, the building finally fixes the elevator in time for Penny to be rushed to the hospital to give birth. The whole gang gets on the elevator, commenting how convenient it is... and it breaks down, trapping Penny and the gang. They all have to use their individual skills to deliver Penny's baby - Raj gets on the phone with tech support, who happens to be in India, so he speaks Hindi to them, relays messages to Howard, who uses his engineering skills to fix the elevator, meanwhile Amy uses her medical knowledge to coach Penny (in graphic terms) through the birthing process. Sheldon is curled up in a ball in the corner, unable to help. When the elevator starts, the baby is born, Sheldon faints.

Post-script - Leanard and Penny bring the baby home, Sheldon complains of the cries coming from across the hall keeping him awake... and the last scene of the show is Amy telling Sheldon she's pregnant.
