Hey Guys, Navy 048 here and this is my first fanfic, so please no flames just constructive criticism so I can help this series get better.

This is how I always believed that the life of Ted Mosby would have been like after he had met the mother. This is my opinion, if you do not like anything I write, fine but this is what I believed would happened at the end of the finale, but also what Ted's life was like immediately after he met the woman with the yellow umbrella.

Disclaimer: I do not own the HIMYM series.

AFTER I MET YOUR MOTHER

2016

The rain is pouring done onto Manhattan; wave upon wave is colliding on the solid concrete below. The sky growled out in fury, before the concrete Jungle trembled from thunder, with many running back indoors to escape the mass exodus coming from outside, with screams filling the air.

Ted Mosby however quickly jumped out of his iconic yellow NYC cab and ran towards the hospital, with Tracy and Barney in tow.

"Quickly, we can't miss this. Lily said that we always had to be there for the big moments!" Yelled Ted behind him.

"For god's sake!" Barney yelled out in frustration, "there just has to be a thunderstorm when Lily is in labour doesn't there? I wonder why?" Barney finished with a grin.

"Shut up Barney." Tracy said smiling.

They ran a few hundred metres, which seemed to go on forever as the rain droplets shattered onto their heads.

They all let out a breath of relief when they reached the hospital doors.

"Now. Where is the check in desk? Ted asked

"Well detective Mosby," Tracy said smiling, "It's right next to you."

Ted swiftly turned around and replied " Oh…thanks." Which led to a few laughs from Tracy and Barney. Barney suddenly stopped laughing when he saw the check in assistant. Barney walked up to her and said subtly, "Daddy's home."

"Barney this is not the time, maybe afterwards but right now we have to get to Marshall and Lily!" Ted remarked.

They asked which room the couple was in before rushing out into the hospital, which had been made only the year before, and was the only hospital currently, open during the thunderstorm in the tri-state area.

They saw Marshall as the trio barged through the door and greeted him," how's Lily?" Asked Tracy.

"She's good, but where have you guys been, I know there is a thunderstorm outside right now, but you are an hour late!" Marshall exclaimed.

"We had business to attend to." Barney told Marshall.

"Oh, you mean Robin, She couldn't be here, its too late she's in Moscow at the moment." Marshall told them.

"Marshall, we tried to get hold of her, but she's in the middle of a show at the moment. I swear that we tried to get hold of her!" said Tracy.

"It's fine, it's fine I believe you, its just sad, you know. That Robin is not here for her best friend giving birth." Said Marshall sadly.

"C'mon guys this is not the time to be sad for Robin, but happy for you and Lily, your having your third kid, which is great, and what is even better is that the check-in assistant is smoking hot. Tell Lily that I send her my regards." Barney said before starting for the door.

"Barney! You will sit here and wait for Lily to eventually stop screaming-" Lily's screams can be heard from down the hall, " and for her to give birth to another beautiful child." Said Ted forcefully.

Barney went off to get a magazine and a coke from the vending machine before joining Ted and Tracy at the waiting room.

" I can't believe this." Ted said

"Can't believe what? That Lily can scream that loud?" Tracy asked with a smile.

"It seems like only yesterday that I met you, I can remember it perfectly." Ted remarked looking straight at Tracy.

That's the end of the first chapter of my first ever fanfic. Review so you can help me improve!
