Hey Guys hope you enjoy. This is a lot shorter compared to the last one and future ones. Ted Might be slightly OOC here
sorry it went weird originally
Ted's POV
"It took me about half an hour to get to Charlene's apartment and I wasn't sure what I was going to say I couldn't outright accuse her of being Barney's sister that wouldn't be fair if she wasn't. I knocked on the door and a bit later she answered "Ted" She Said slightly surprise.
"Lily told me where you live" I said as she nodded before I asked if I could come in which she let me "First of all I haven't come here to try and get you back I came back to talk about what happened at the bar" I asked sitting on the couch I hadn't noticed the box that was open on the table.
"Nothing Happened I just…." She started but I interrupted her "freaked as soon as I said Barney's name acted awkwardly when you learned about his sister and that's because you don't just have a similar name you are his sister" I Said She looked away from me I thought maybe I had said to much "Sorry I didn't mean to…" It started but it was her turn to interrupt me.
"He doesn't know does he?" She asked getting the box from the table. it was open and it seemed to be important to her.
"No I Only just worked it out myself" I said looking at the box she had picked up wondering what it was "What's that?"
"It's what left of Charlotte Stinson" She told me she showed me a few pictures a few of her, Barney and James, however There was something about Barney that seemed strange it was probably just because he wasn't wearing a suit and more casual clothes. Some of their mother and a picture of the 2 of them as kids and their mother with some guy "whose that" I asked knowing it couldn't be there father as Barney didn't know who he was.
"That's our Uncle Jerry we used to see him all the time until Barney did something stupid when we were 6 and I guess our mother decided he was a bad influence on us this was taken a few days before we never saw him after that." She Explained. "I did see him when I was older"
"Why did you leave you look so happy in all these pictures" I asked her I didn't know much about Barney's Childhood apart from the fact he never knew who his father was.
"What Barney said was true when I was 17 originally I was hoping to find our father I first went to find a celebrity our mother had told us I never believed this but Barney did he was always so gullible he believed everything our mother said" she started to explain I was shocked but I knew whatever she told me I had to pretend I didn't know. If I knew this stuff and Barney hadn't told me he mught get suspicious. And I wasn't going to tell barney. That was something she should do.
"What do you mean?" I asked
"I'm assuming you've met James" She Asked Before I nodded "Well when we asked why he was black and we weren't she come up with crazy stories and Barney Always believed them" She Explained.
"That's obvious though you obviously have different fathers." I Said Hoping it wouldn't hit a nerve or something.
"I know that, James Knows, but Barney Believed Every Lie we were Ever Told he probally still does. I thought I would make him happy but when I found out he wasn't I kept looking I wasn't going to give up I went to every family friend that I thought might know But didn't get anywhere my last resort was talking to our Uncle Jerry to see if he knew I thought maybe being our Uncle he might know but he wasn't much help." She Paused.
"So why didn't you go back" I asked.
"I was 19 and realised if I went home I would be moaned at and be told more lies and I decided I just wanted to be independent so I changed my name and enrolled at Wesleyan College That's why I started a year late" She Finished explaining to me "While i was in college I used the money i got from my book to fake my death" She added thinking back I remembered the time she wouldn't tell any of us what she was doing.
"Don't you think Barney Deserves to know that you are alive?" I said defending Barney which seemed to be a rarity.
"I want to tell him but I want to get to know him first" She Said I wondered if she would ever tell him.
She did about 3 years later after James came to visit but I'll get to that later.
"Fine I won't tell him" I sighed it would be hard on Barney but I wasn't going to betray Charlene trust.
