Ted was lying in his bed again. Like he had been for the past week, ever since Stella left him at the alter.
"Oh God, isn't there something we can do. I feel so useless" muttered Robin as she and the others sat in the living room of the apartment, Ted's bedroom door was closed.
"There's no need to feel useless" a voice said, the group jumped and faced her.
"My name is Loretta" said the girl as she sat on the table. Barney started to check her out.
"Don't Barney, I'm way out of your league" said Loretta.
"Who are you and how did you get into the flat?" asked Marshall.
"I'm a time traveller, and I am here to show you any moment in Ted's life you want to see" said Loretta, she crossed her legs.
"I do want to see if Ted finds the perfect woman" said Robin. Barney nodded with her, as did Marshall and Lily.
"Okay, grab my hands, or each others and close your hands" said Loretta. The group obeyed her.
They felt the ground disappear and the wind blew through the hair and Barney's suit.
They landed in a room, they opened their yes, and saw a five year old girl sleeping. Her room was decorated in Star Wars merge, princess belongings etc. There was a drawing of a building on her bedside drawing and a guitar on a stand.
"Leia" Ted's voice whispered as the bedroom door opened and an older Ted stepped in. He snuck to the bed and slowly shook the girl awake.
"Daddy" she whispered, in a half asleep state.
"Yeah, it's Mummy's birthday today, Luke is already downstairs, we just need the princess" Ted said and he lifted the little girl out the bed.
"Ted has the boy and girl he wanted" smiled Lily. Loretta nodded.
"Luke and Leia" smiled Marshall.
They followed him downstairs to see a three year old sitting on a chair, waiting for his Daddy.
"Okay, Mummy, is going to be awake in half an hour, so what should we make her?" he asked as he sat Leia on the kitchen bunker, he lifted Luke and put him beside her.
"Mummy loves special pancakes" said Luke. Lily awwed at the sight.
"Yes, Mummy does love her special pancakes, wanna help?" asked Ted and he started to get what he needed.
Within the half hour, Leia has eaten five pancakes and Luke looked like he had been swimming in flour.
They heard a noise from upstairs, Ted grabbed his kids and sat them at the table, and placed the pancakes on the table. Leia climbed off the chair, and grabbed a bottle of orange juice and put that on the table.
A woman entered, she was an older Leia.
Luke and Leia started to sing Happy Birthday as the woman entered, who clasped her hands to her mouth, tears in her eyes.
"This is certainly different" she said, then she went over to Luke.
"Since when did we get a pool filled with flour?" she asked.
Luke shrugged, "you can't yell, mummy birthday."
"Yeah, Tracy, you have to be nice on your birthday" joked Ted.
"Yeah" said Leia.
"Okay, okay" Tracy gave up and she sat down in her chair. She started to eat the pancakes.
"So, what do you want to do after your birthday breakfast?" Ted asked as he took a seat at the table.
"Star Wars marathon" smirked Leia. Luke and Tracy nodded.
"Star Wars marathon it is then" said Ted with a laugh.
"That's enough" smiled Loretta and they landed back in the living room.
"Thanks for showing us that" smiled Barney, he was glad that Robin was Ted's soul mate.
"Do you know what time it is?" asked Lily.
"Time to check out this Tracy time?" asked Robin.
"We don't even know her last name" said Marshall as the women went to the laptop.
Nobody noticed Loretta disappear.
This is part of series of one shots where Loretta helps out certain characters from my favourite fandoms. On my profile is a list of fandoms that I have written for in case you wanted to read them.
