The time was 2009, Ted sat across from his two children. His wife was sitting on the armrest of the couch he was on.
"What story is today dad?" His son asked.
"We're going to jump ahead a bit. To well now." Ted said, "Your mother and I were trying to wait until our story was finished but we can't." His wife nodded, "We're getting a divorce."
"What?" His daughter asked.
His son turned to his sister, "He's in love with Aunt Robin."
"How'd you figure that out?" Ted asked his son.
"Since you told us the story about you and Aunt Robin dating I've kind of been paying attention to how you and Robin co-exist." His son said.
His wife looked at him, "Oh, your mother is going to stay with your grandma." Ted said. His wife went and hugged her children then took her bags and left.
"So you love Aunt Robin?" Leigha asked
Luke nodded, "Yup he does."
"Well, Aunt Robin loves Ted." Leigha says turning to face her brother Luke.
"Really how do you know?" Luke asked.
"Long glances, besides I looked through some old videos and pictures. When Aunt Robin liked dad, she would smile this specific smile and she called him Teddie-boy a lot. She's doing that, haven't you noticed it?"
"Yeah I have. When dads around she smiles differently from when he's not around."
"How can you tell Dad likes her?" Leigha asked. The two children had turned towards each other and had completely stopped paying attention to the fact their father was sitting right across from them. It was fine for him though, he was paying attention to their conversation, it was like no one else was in the room. He knew his twins were close, they've always finished each other sentences, knew what each other were thinking.
"He stares at her longer than everyone else. He always drops his conversation with anyone when she talks." Luke said.
"So what are we going to do?" Leigha asked. "Mom was having an affair, I think we owe it do dad to set him up with Aunt Robin."
"Yeah, I agree." Luke said. "Who was she dating?"
"Oh, she wasn't dating anyone, she was screwing her boss."
Luke gasped. "Really? Harry? Eww."
"I know right. He's all hairy, and bald." Leigha said, she looked at her dad. "Um, dad, you can't be here when me and Luke go over plans."
"Um okay." Ted said getting up and walking to the door frame. "I'm going to go to the bar."
"Okay so we agreed." Leigha said outside the bar.
"Yup." Luke said.
"Great." She said, she waited and he opened the door then she walked inside.
"Aunt Robin." Leigha said walking over to Robin at the bar.
"Dad," Luke said going over to their famous booth. Luke looked back at Leigha they smiled at each other then went on talking.
"You know Luke and my birthday is coming up, but you know, he's been through such a lot I really want to throw him a surprise birthday party this weekend. And I need your help." Leigha said playing up the sisterly act.
At the booth, Luke was playing up the brother act. "Dad, you know Leigha and my birthday is coming up in two weeks. But after what you just told us I think Leigh may need something to take her mind off of this. So I was thinking me and you could throw her a surprise birthday party, its two weeks early she'll never know." Luke looked at Marshall, "Where's Lily?" He asked quickly.
"In the bathroom."
"I don't want her to know about this, you know how she is she'll spoil it." Luke said looking sad. Marshall nodded and Lily started to approach them.
"Hey Lilypad why don't you go hang with the girls." Marshall said with a wink to Luke. Lily smiled and walked over to the girls.
The girls started planning right away, making lists. Leigha was suppose to be in charge of the food and music. While Lily and Robin started on decorations and place planning. With the boys, Marshall and Ted were in charge of the food and music while Luke was suppose to be in charge of the decorations and place planning. So they planned it perfectly.
The twins relaxed while the adults did all the planning, it was hilarious really, well from the twins perspectives anyways.
