"HI!"
The nurse at the desk giggled at the voice of the toddler. "Marvin hush, indoor voice sweetie" she then heard a young woman scold him.
"Shhh" the toddler repeated covering his mouth with a finger. "Hi Lady, I Mahwin!" He then yelled out when he saw the nurse.
She quickly moved to him. "Hello Marvin, how old are you?" she asked kindly.
"This many" he replied with a proud smile as he held up two tiny cute fingers in the air.
"Two and a big handful" Lily murmured. She was smiling though and then kissed her baby fondly. Marvin threw his arms around her neck. "This my momma and me loves her" he told the nurse.
"Aw that's so nice" the nurse cooed. "Where Ted? Momma says he here so where he is?" Marvin asked.
"Were here to see our best friend Ted Mosby, he just called and said the baby arrived…we didn't want Marvin to have to wait here" Marshall explained who had walked with his family.
Behind them were Robin and Barney looking proud.
"That what I says!" Marvin yelled. "Yes, you did cutie pie and I will go find your Ted" the nurse told Marvin and ruffled his hair.
"What name? I Mahwin, so what name?" he asked her. "My name is Alison" she told the boy.
"Kay" he replied and snuggled with Lily again. Alison left to her desk and found his number. The group left and Marvin giggled. "Yay Ted! I coming Ted no worry!" he screamed.
"Sounds like little Marv is here" Sarah commented with a chuckle. Ted chuckled as well as he sat by his wife and newborn.
"He's loud and crazy but you have to love the little guy" he replied. "Oh I do, he makes me laugh"
"Hi Ted! Hi Sawa!"
"Speak of the little devil" Sarah whispered to Ted who grinned. He got off the bed and moved to the boy.
"Hey little buddy I missed ya" he said and took the boy from Lily. He tossed him in the air and hugged him when he was caught.
"Yay Ted! Now gang all heres!" the boy cheered. "We sure are buddy, would you like to say hi to our newest member?" Sarah asked.
"Kay" Marvin agreed and Ted placed him on the bed. "It a baby" he said and gently stroked her cheek.
"Yes she is…her name is Leia Virginia Mosby…I take no credit for the name" she told him.
"Star war Leia?" Marvin asked. A few months after he turned two Marshall introduced his son to the Star wars saga. The toddler loved it all.
"Yes Marvin, hopefully in a few years we'll have a boy and he'll be Luke" Ted told him.
"Luke and Leia…I have to admit it is cute…your just lucky I love star wars mister"
"I know…" Ted agreed and kissed her forehead. He scooped up Marvin again so he could sit.
The rest of the group took the two empty chairs in the room. Marshall and Barney did anyway but let their wives sit in their lap.
"Would you do me a huge favor Marvin buddy?" Ted asked. Marvin nodded eagerly.
"Course Ted…cuz I awe…wait for it…some….awesome!" he cooed. Barney burst out laughing. "That's my boy" he said and shot him a thumbs up.
Marvin giggled and returned the greeting. "I do right Bobby?" he asked and the man nodded.
Marvin was still a baby so he had trouble pronouncing the names. Ted, mommy and daddy were all he could manage correctly. He called Barney Bobby and Robin Bobbin.
"Yes, you are awesome little man" Ted agreed and kissed his head. "Which is why I need you to help me out" he added.
"What I do?" Marvin asked. "I need you to be Leia's best friend when she is bigger and able to walk and talk like you" he told him.
"Me do it! Me best Fred ever!" Marvin declared loudly. Ted chuckled as he put a finger to his lips.
"Okay…now indoor voice pal"
"Kay" Marvin said a lot quieter. "If me be good can me hold Lei?" he asked.
"You sure can but a grown up has to help" Sarah said. Marvin turned around and pointed to Barney.
"Bobby help me?" he asked. He wanted to scream it but at last second remembered to be good. He said it softly like a shouted whisper.
Barney chuckled as he nodded. Robin got up and scooped up Marvin who hugged her tightly.
"I sowwy Bobbin but you is nextist" he told her. "It's okay Marv" she told him and kissed his head as she placed the boy on his uncle.
"Hi Bobby" Marvin greeted him. Barney smiled as he hugged the boy. "Hey little buddy" he said.
Ted scooped up little baby Leia gently. "Hello my sweet angel, time to meet your very best friend" he told the baby. The newborn shifted and let out a small cry when she was pulled from her mom. She quickly settled with her father though.
"She's so precious, I call holding her next" Marshall said as he gently stroked her head.
"No Bobbin next daddy!" Marvin cried in a shouted whisper. "Okay then I call after her" Marshall agreed.
"I'm last then I guess" Lily said with smile. "Sowwy momma" Marvin cooed and she shook her head.
"It's okay baby boy" she promised. Leia was then placed onto Marvin's lap and Barney helped the boy hold her.
"She pwity" he cooed. "Yeah, she is very pretty, good news Ted she looks nothing like you" Barney agreed.
"Ha ha ha Bobby" Ted muttered. "I'm kidding pal, you both made a very pretty girl, I'm proud of you two" Barney said.
"Thanks Barney" Sarah said as she hugged Ted who snuggled to her again.
"Your turn Bobbin" Marvin commanded. Robin lifted the baby nervously and held her for about twenty seconds.
"She's so cute but I don't want to keep her from everyone else" she said and quickly passed her off.
Lily chuckled lightly and put her arm around Robin when the baby was safe with Marshall.
Soon she held the baby and then Leia went back to her mom.
That kids is how I met my baby girl and how Marvin found his first best friend.
"That was first story I really liked dad" Leia commented with a smile. Ted laughed. "I love you princess" he told her. "Love you too, even though you tell really boring long stories" she told him and he only laughed again.
