3. If the pitcher desires to walk a batter intentionally he may do so by notifying the plate umpire who shall award the batter first base.
If two batters are to be walked intentionally the second intentional walk may
not be administered until the first batter reaches first base.
If it does, can someone assist me with:
What award (if any) happens if the 2nd batter (Female) does walk before the the 1st Batter reaches 1st the Base?

To start, it really doesn't matter as long as the female does not reach 1B prior to the male.
You cited the answer to prevent this from happening. Same is if two batters are to be walked. As the PU, you do not recognized the female's option (when available) to take the walk until the male has reached 1B. If the female starts off before you recognize it, attempt to stop her. A simple "hang on" or "not yet" should delay the female long enough to allow the male to achieve 1B.
