Summary: Lily and Marshall always knew they wanted to have a family, but when a blasts from Marshall's past comes back to bite him in the butt will it be to much for them to handle.

Please R&R

The day had started like any other. It was a Saturday and the gang, well except for Barney, were hanging out at the apartment.

" Hey do you guys want to order Pizza, maybe have movie night?" Ted asked.

"Sounds good," Marshall replied.

Robin nodded, "What should we watch?" she asked Lily.

Lily didn't answer instead she jumped off the couch and ran for the bathroom, Marshall right in tow. She collapsed on the floor before throwing up into the toilet. Marshall, rubbing smooth gentle circles on her back and holding her hair as he waited for her to finish. When she finally did he spoke.

" You okay, baby?" he asked. That was a dumb question of course she wasn't okay.

" Yeah I'm fine," she lied. " must have had to much milk or something." She knew good and well what was making her sick, but she hadn't told anyone yet. She was waiting until they were all there.

" Okay I'll, uh... let you clean up," he said retreating back out the door.

" Is she okay?" Robin asked when he came back into the room.

Marshall sat on the couch, " Yeah. She said she must have at something to make her stomach upset." The doorbell rang.

" Well that was fast the Pizza's here," Ted said answering the door. He opened it to only to find that it was not the Pizza Delivery man, but three kids with bags standing there. The oldest handed him a letter addressed to Marshall. " Marshall! You'd better come over here," he said.

" What is it?" he asked before noticing the children standing there. Ted didn't say anything to him he just handed him the letter.

"Dear Marshall,

I've written this letter a hundred times, but I never had the guts to send it. I don't know if you remember me, but we used to be best friends in middle school. I left the first year of high school not to long into the year. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this sooner, but we had 2 kids. One the oldest when we were 14 and the other right before college when we were 18. I know this is a big ball to drop, but I hope you will take care of them. The youngest is 4 and I know she isn't yours, but I hope you'll take her in anyway. By the time you read this I will be dead. Call this number for information. The social worker will tell you all you need to know. She's a friend of mine and she will be expecting your call... Love, Janice," he read. He held a business card.

The door to the hall was still open and the kids still stood uneasily outside while he read it out loud. Then Lily came from the bathroom.

" Hey was that the..." she stopped when she spotted the children. " Guys, what's going on?"

" I'm sorry we are being extremely rude please come in we will be just a minute. Lily can I speak to you in the bedroom?"

" Marshall what's going on; who are they?"

" Let's just go to the bedroom alright?"

" Okay."

" Okay start explaining who are they Marshall?" she said with a hint of anger in her voice.

" There my kids. Well 2 of them are. I know what your thinking, but please please here me out. First you need to know that I had no idea who they were until today. It all started a couple of years ago Freshman year or high school. Me and Janice had been friends for a couple of years, but no more than just friends. Anyway we went to this party the Seniors were having for all of the new comers. We had a few sandwiches and we were really drunk, so drunk I don't even remember that night at all. All I remember was waking up the next morning hung over, and sore from well what I now know was sex, but I didn't then. I went to school the following Monday only to find that Janice wouldn't talk to me. She wouldn't even look at me. A month later she loved away and I didn't think I'd ever see her again. I didn't until the summer before college. She told me she needed to talk to me so we spent the night out. We got pretty wasted and I remember her spending the night at my house, but she was gone in the morning. She never told me why she had come, or what she had come to tell me. I never saw or spoke to her again. I thought I had lost my virginity that night, but since I didn't know for sure, so I just forgot about it. I moved on. I was only a kid then."

" You lied to me," she said starting to cry, " You told me I was the only one you had ever been with. Did you love her Marshall? Did you?" she cried harder.

" Lily you know I love you. I would never do anything to change our life now. I'm sorry I didn't know about this until now, but there's nothing I can do about it. They're my kids Lily and I'm here for them now, so I have to be there for them. I know this is all new to you. It is for me too, but I know you well enough to know that this is not what you are getting yourself all worked up about. Please, I said I was sorry, and I promise to always be there for you, but you have to tell me what it is your crying about. Please baby, tell me what's wrong."

She looked at him with tear stained cheeks. With knew tear threatening to fall she spoke. " I'm pregnant."

This is my first story so bare with me. Please tell me what you think and If there is anything you think I should change or you have any ideas feel free to tell me. I hope you enjoyed and the next chapter should be up soon. Thanks for reading,
