As, I said previously I was going to post this on Sunday but I realized that I wanted to post one more chapter because it goes along with this chapter. So, for this chapter and the next it will be all about New Years especially the next chapter which actually starts on New Years Eve and ends on New Years Day. So I wanted to post this now so I can post the other chapter on Sunday, then I will take a slight break from this story for a few weeks and then focus more on B/R as a couple and that baby. I wanted to get this holiday out of the way in one chapter but then I realized I couldn't do that.

Yes, I decided for Barney and Robin to have twins, at first originally I was going to have one baby but then this idea came to me and I thought it would be a good idea to have them have twins to give the story a little bit of a twist. I think this will be interesting, the story will change into more of a baby/family story after the next chapter. So, enjoy these two chapters and have a nice new year because I won't be doing another AN for awhile.

"Wait, what?"

Barney, Robin and their surrogate all stared at the screen in front of them. It took another minute for them to have this knowledge sink in. They, are having twins. Twins. Two, babies after thinking all this time they were having just one baby. They, are having two, they can't believe their eyes but this is true. They, were all silent for a couple of minutes letting this new knowledge sink into their heads. They, never expected when they came here today, to find out how their baby is doing that they would be told that they aren't just having one baby, they are having two babies. Barney and Robin's eyes stare at the screen, both in shock that they are having twins. As, they held hands they didn't really understand how they are expecting two babies, not just one. This, was all such new information that not even their surrogate Sarah knew that there is two babies in her stomach right now.

Two. Babies. They, are in shock and are not sure what to say or think to this new information. When, they decided to try for surrogacy, the odds that one of their embryos would take were unsure. The, doctor who did the insertion, did it without them being there to see it. So, Barney and Robin had no idea that it's about a 70% chance that there could be more than one embryo that took. Nobody, informed them of this information, not any doctor, not their surrogate and their current doctor with them in this room seemed surprised as well to know that they are having twins.

"Did, you know about this?" Robin, asks Sarah without taking her eyes off the screen in front of her.

She, blinks a few times then looks at her surrogate. Sarah, shakes her head sincerely not knowing that she is carrying to babies in her stomach. Robin, and Barney were still, not moving from their seats staring at the screen a few more times to make sure that this knowledge is true. And, apparently it is. The, doctor scans the wand over Sarah's stomach, there is still a small round center in her stomach, she isn't showing as much but her stomach is slowly rounding more than it was a month ago. Barney and Robin look at each other, for the first time since learning this new information on their child, or children. They, are in shock, they are happy but this is so shocking to find out now. After, a couple of months thinking that they were having one baby.

"How, is this possible? We, thought we were having one baby not two." Barney, says his voice getting a bit squeaky as he said the word two to the doctor.

He, still can't take his eyes off the screen in front of him. He, can't believe what he's seeing. He, does see it though, there are two babies there in front of him on the screen. They, are right next to each other, he can't believe it.

"Well, there was a 70% chance that two embryos would take and well they did. Just, you are having two and not one. I, figure that you," she looks at Sarah. "Didn't know this." Sarah, shakes her head again this time at her doctor. "You, didn't know this because on your last checkup, this wasn't known yet. But, the odds were likely for this to happen." The, doctor explains.

Barney, and Robin are so in shock that this new information is washing over their minds right now. But, they are happy, shocked but happy nonetheless. Because, they went into this thinking they would just have one baby, and they thought that for the last two months. But, surprising as it is, they are incredibly happy about this. The, shock soon goes away and they are still staring at the screen, with their two children confirmed on the screen.

"Wow, I can't believe it. Babe, we're having two babies. How, excitingly awesome is that?" Barney, looks over at Robin. She, has tears streaming down her face. He, pulls her into him when he noticed that she was crying.

The, emotions soon took over from the shocked expression they had on their faces and soon they were both in tears. Crying, over this sudden, shocking knowledge that they are having two kids.

A, few minutes later they both collect their emotions and the embrace they were in and turned to the doctor who had just turned off the sonogram machine.

"So, since we are having two babies. Do, you know the sex of them yet?" They, were sure that they would be getting this information for one baby but now they want to know what both babies sex's are.

The, doctor turns to the couple as she holds the information to their babies in her hands. Smiles, and tells them what they are going to have.

"Yes, I do know. Are, you sure you want to know?" The, doctor asked just to be sure they want to know the sex of their children in this moment.

Barney, turns to Robin to make sure she still wants to know the sex. Only an hour ago they thought they were having one baby, and getting the information and sex on that baby. But, they are having two, not one but Robin smiles at her husband and shakes her head.

"Yeah, I do want to know. Before, I thought we would know the answer of this to one baby but now we are going to know the answer to this to two babies." As, Robin holds onto Barney's hand tightly in hers, her tears had subsided but the emotion of this knowledge is still very much present on her mind.

"Okay, yes doc we would like to know the sex of the babies." Barney, says waiting in anticipation to find out what he and Robin are going to have.

"Well, the first baby was a girl." The doctor says as she looks quickly at the folder of information in her hands. "And, the second baby was a boy." She, finishes smiling at the couple before her.

And, once again the shock comes back but the joy is still in place. They, are over the moon with this knowledge they can't believe this. But, they are extremely happy, beyond excited to be having two kids and not one.

"Wow, a boy and a girl. One, of each." Barney, says excitedly raising the hand that held onto Robin's. He, kisses her hand lightly smiling as they lean in to a kiss.

"I-I'm in such a shock but I'm really happy about this." Robin, finally says as they exit the room soon after knowing that they are having a boy and a girl.

"Me, too. I've never thought that I would be so happy but this knowledge and moment could be the happiest moment of my life. Well, second happiest the first marrying you. But, yeah I'm really happy. We, are having two babies, one boy and one girl I can't believe it." As, they exit the doctors office they soon say goodbye to their surrogate and go off in the other direction walking up the street.

They, walk all the way to Maclaren's hand in hand happily knowing that they are going to have two kids. Knowing, all this information was crazy, their heads are exploding from all the stuff they just found out. Neither, knew how to really process this news but maybe a drink or two would help fix their thinking pattern.

When, they got to Maclaren's they notice that Marshall and Lily are there in their old booth. They, are talking and drinking with each other, Barney and Robin walk up to them still holding hands with smiles plastered all over their faces.

"Hey, guys." Barney, says first. Robin, slides into the other side of the booth after hugging Lily and Barney sits next to her a second later after he also hugs Lily.

"Well, you two look really happy. What's going on?" Lily, asks looking at her friends beaming expressions on their faces.

These, smiles haven't left their faces since leaving the doctor's office.

"We, are." Robin, states matter of factually. Taking, a sip of her beer still smiling ever so brightly with the knowledge that she and Barney are going to not only be parents to one baby, but are going to be parents to two babies.

"So, why so happy?" Marshall asks, he's never seen these two this happy before whatever it is that is making them this happy he really wants to know.

"Well, we have some news. But, we want to wait for Ted and Tracy to come. Where, are they anyway?" Robin, says looking to see if her friends are coming into the bar at that moment.

She, and Barney wanted to wait until everyone was present to tell them about their wonderful slightly shocking news. The, shock of the news is now over, they are completely aware of this news and are really, sincerely happy with it. They, are now just excited to tell their friends their news.

"They, are running a little late as usual. Ted's, still at work." Marshall, informed them. Barney and Robin frown at this but they will be patient and wait until Ted and Tracy come to tell them their wonderful news.

"Oh, okay. We'll, just wait until they get here to tell you our news." Robin, says really wanting for the whole gang to be there when they tell them their news.

"Oh, man. Hurry, up Mosby. I really want to know what this news is." Lily, says mumbling curse words under her breath and Ted taking his ever freakin time.

Luckily, they didn't have to wait too long for them to show up. Although, it took another 20 minutes for them to arrive at the bar, they showed up as the other two couples sat, talked, drank and ate while they waited for Ted and Tracy to come to the bar.

"Finally, what took you two so long. Gees, you're always late for something these days." Lily, says annoyed that her friends took their sweet time to get to the bar. She, really wants to know what Barney and Robin's news is, she had started hiccupping just a little while ago hoping to convince Barney and Robin to tell them their news first then they can inform Ted and Tracy on their news.

They, didn't budge. They, just snacked and drank smiling teasingly at their friend who sulks impatiently at them.

But, soon Ted and Tracy arrived and they finally did get to find out Barney and Robin's wonderful news.

"So, we were waiting for you guys to show up because Barney and I have some news to share." Lily's, becoming annoying and unpleasant to be around she's desperate to know what the news is.

The, couple look at Robin wondering what her news is. Feeling, bad for holding them up longer than they wanted to, but Ted had to finish something's at the university first before going to pick up Tracy at a meeting she was at for her new book.

"Sorry, so what is your news Robin?" Tracy, asked wanting to know what this apparently big news is all about.

It's so big that Lily can't sit still and be patient for them to arrive at the bar. So, it has to be huge news, something really big that they didn't even want to only share with Marshall and Lily first.

"Well, we. Barney and I had just come from a doctors appointment. It was a checkup, to see how the baby is doing and if its healthy. We, thought at first that we were going to have one baby, because that's what we both were thinking and wanting when we decided to do surrogacy. Anyway, we were in the exam room checking to see the baby. But, soon we heard one heartbeat." Robin, pauses, looking over at Barney smiling trying to keep her emotions in tact to get this news out.

Their, friends all listened carefully and impatiently at what they are saying to them. Lily's, expression was first desperate to find out their news, then it changed to an excited look. The, others just look on at the couple telling them their news, all of them had blank looks on their faces. Lily, thinks she kind of knows where this is going and she hopes she's right.

"We, heard the one heart but soon that one heart turned into two hearts beating." Everyone's faces changed to an excited look, the one Lily was expressing a minute ago.

"Wait, what? Two hearts? Are you serious, you're having twins?" Ted, says shocked at this news it seemed crazy to him that his two formerly uncommitted and childless friends are not just having A baby, they are having two babies. This, is unbelievable. He doesn't know what to say.

"Yes, we are having twins. At, first we were shocked too but soon we were happy. And, now that shock wore off and we are really happy and excited to be having twins." Barney, says telling his friends what happened when he and Robin found out this amazing news.

"I'm, I can't believe it. But, congratulations you guys. I'm really happy for you." Tracy, says happily expressing her own feelings on this.

She, was shocked to learn that they were going to have a baby but two babies is just outstanding. She's, only known them a few years but she thinks this is wonderful, because they do really want to be parents they just thought they would have one baby.

"Thank, you Tracy." Robin says, hugging her.

"Wow, I knew it. I thought that you were going to have twins I was just not completely sure. But, wow, I am so happy for you guys." Lily, says truly happy about her friends having two babies.

"Thanks, Lil sorry for waiting to tell you. We, just wanted everyone here to know our news. I'm glad, you're all happy for us." Barney, says. Both, he and Lily standing up to hug each other.

"Yeah, we are all very happy for you. I never thought I would see the day when Barney and Robin are parents. Who, knew that marriage and a decision with a confession would change your lives forever." Marshall, says still shocked about this news but really happy for his friends.

"Thanks." Robin, says hugging Marshall after she hugged Lily.

They, all hugged Barney and Robin then sat back in the booth to continue their conversation. Everyone, was truly, and sincerely happy for the couple and are excited to see the two new addition to their little family that was once just the five of them. Now, there are three babies in the group and three babies on the way. Two for Barney and Robin and one for Marshall and Lily. Who, has been pregnant for five months now.

Soon, the gang all finished up chatting with each other and finally made plans for New Years. Which, is in only three days. They, all agreed to watch the fireworks from Barney and Robin's building because you can have a really nice few of the city and plus they have a big screen TV to see the countdown to the New Year. So, that's what they are going to do this year. Everyone, could drink but Lily. But, nobody really cared because Barney and Robin are going to be having two kids in the next year and Lily will be having another as well. Three, babies within a couple of months they are all really happy for the new additions to their once small little gang of five.

Three, days later they all gathered in Barney and Robin's apartment for the evening. Robin, had taken off work for this weekend and wouldn't be going back to work until Tuesday. Barney, isn't working for another week either, so they decided to paint the nursery room for their two, 2 they still can't believe it. Babies, two children who they will love and want in their lives.

"Wow, this is a really nice room so far." Lily and Tracy are in the guest bedroom that is now the nursery for their children. They and Robin are in the room hanging out talking about kids and Robin becoming a mom for the first time.

Lily, never thought she would see the day when her best friend Robin would be a mother. Robin, Scherbatsky is going to be not just a mother to 1 baby, she's going to be a mother to 2 babies. She, still can't believe but is still very happy for her, and for Barney too.

"Yeah, Barney had gone a little overboard with buying things but it is really nice." Robin, says looking around the room, the room had everything the babies would need except they haven't painted yet and don't have two's of everything, like two dressers and two cribs. But, overall the room is coming around to be very roomy for their children.

"He's really happy, huh?" Tracy says, seeing how her forever diaper man really is going to be a diaper man forever really is crazy to think about but is surprised to see Barney so sure about being a father.

"He, is. We, both are. Shocking huh?" The two other ladies shake their heads and they break out in a laughter at the thought of her and Barney being parents soon.

"I never thought I would see the day when Barney Stinson actually wants a kid. In this case, two kids. I, never thought you would want to be a mother either." That's the truth, nobody really understood her, other than Barney they all just assumed she never wanted kids. It's, that she could never have them.

She, looks at her friends and starts to tear up a little realizing that even her closest friend whom she knew for years didn't know that she did want to be a mom, she just couldn't physically have them.

"Aw, Robin. I'm sorry, I know this is a hard subject for you." Lily, says after she sees her friend break into tears when she mentioned she would never be a mother.

"I, guess until recently. Well, not so recently. I didn't realize that I really did want to be a mother, I just can't physically have them. This, was the issue I have had since it was brought up during our wedding weekend. Not, being able to give Barney kids, it was devastating when I found out I was infertile but soon it hit me that I would never get to actually physically have Barney's kids. I mean, I didn't even think we would even get back together, at that time but then we did and we got married. It, didn't hit me until Loretta talked about it during that weekend. I, guess I never really dealt with this until last year when we decided to do the surrogacy thing. But, truth is I really did want kids I just never felt the need to have them until last year." She, says honest and truthfully, finally opening up to her friends she trusts the most in her life.

Barney, was the only one who knew about this struggle and she tried to keep it a secret, just with them but with the news that they are having babies it would have come out anyway. So, it's a real relief to finally let out her emotions on this and to tell other people, people she trusts that she really did want kids it was just she wanted them with Barney but couldn't have them. That's, how surrogacy came into this, even if she can't physically have them, she still wants to be a mother with Barney, because she knows deep down for a long time that Barney did want to be a dad. He, put that idea out of his mind because he loved Robin way more than the possibility of having a kid at all.

The, fights they had the last couple of years really took all the thoughts and emotions they held inside themselves for along time they allowed it all to come out and now everyone she's close to knows her deepest and darkest secret and struggle all these years.

The, girls all sit and relax for a bit inside this room admiring the new room for Barney and Robin's son and daughter until they get up and out of the room to join the guys who are out on the terrace admiring the city's view and smoking cigars on a cold night on New Years Eve. It, was 10 o'clock now but the little conversation the girls had really helped Robin clear all her emotions and let her inner struggles be known to the people she loves the most besides her husband that is. She, can now finally move on and ahead with their new lives of being parents to two kids.
