I do not own How I Met Your Mother! I just hated the finale!


Just as Ted began to finish his sentence about the yellow umbrella, Tracy walked in.

"Ted! I told you not to keep the kids holed up in here too long, they're not interested," she playfully scolded him.

'She's right' and 'We're not' came from the children, but Ted was determined to finish his story.

"I was just telling them about the umbrella," he explained to his wife, gesturing to the worn yellow umbrella that rested in the corner of the room.

"I love the umbrella story!" Tracy grinned, and walked over to Ted, sitting on his lap. He looped his arms comfortably around her waist and continued with the story.

When he ended, gazing straight into Tracy's eyes, he said "And that, kids, is how I met you mother."

She smiled and kissed him, earning sounds of disgust from their children as they left the room.

"As lovely as this has been, I did come in here to tell you something," she laughed, standing up, "Lily and Marshall have just arrived with Marvin and they want to see you. Robin texted me, she and Barney are on their way but they're stuck in traffic."

Tracy pulled Ted up from his seat by his hand and began to walk towards the door. "Oh and Robin said she would finally reveal her secret identity to the kids tonight!" she exclaimed.

"Finally! This is going to be a fun night, I should go put on my boots!"

"Oh No!"

"Please?" he pleaded.

Tracy shook her head and started for the exit only to turn back around, "Did you tell the kids about the pineapple thing?" she asked.

"No, I thought I'd save that for another day."

"Now that is a good story," Tracy smiled, kissing him again before walking through to greet the gang.
