Rosalie rushed inside the apartment building belonging to her friends and went inside. She saw Ted's parents sitting and she smiled at them. She hugged Ted's mother and father before sitting in another chair.

"Rose, that is a lovely dress. You just missed Lily, dear."

"Thank you so much." Rosalie said with a smile, "Lily isn't currently speaking to me, so I'm sure I didn't miss much."

"That's too bad." Marshall came out of his room and looked at Rosalie. He looked anxious and waved her over. She got up and went over to him, he pushed her into his room and closed the door.

"What's up?"

"Was I stupid for not taking Lily back?" Rosalie sighed and put her hand on Marshall's arm.

"No. She hurt you, broke your heart. It's okay to not take her back."

"I still love her though."

"Of course you do, Marshall. But it's okay to take time to think things over before jumping back into anything."

"Lily got invited to dinner. Then I said we were like brother and sister."

"You didn't." Marshall nodded and Rosalie looked at him, she was trying to laugh, "oh, honey. You guys may be friends, but you could never have a brother and sister relationship. You don't sleep with your sister. Oh, Marshall."

"I know. But I don't know what to do!"

"Don't do anything because that'll only make it worse."

At dinner Rosalie sat next to Barney, he had his hand rubbing her thigh under the table and she looked at him before turning her attention to her menu again. He was playing with fire and he knew that, but it didn't make him stop.

"Hello, everyone." Lily said walking to the table. She was wearing a tight dress and Rosalie knew it was to get a rise out of Marshall for that brother, sister comment, "hello, Marshall." she said going over to the empty chair.

"Lily, that is a stunning dress." Ted's mom said.

"Oh, thanks. It's kind of revealing but I thought, "hey, we're all family." right bro?" she asked punching Marshall's arm." she made a noise of pain.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, I hurt my ankle in yoga today. The instructor told me to just take deep breaths to get through the pain." she demonstrated and Marshall was focusing on her breasts going up and down while eating a roll. Lily looked down the table at Rosalie and the two girls locked eyes. Rosalie had a lot on her mind about what she'd love to say to Lily but she wouldn't do it in public or in front of Ted's parents.

"Did you hurt your ankle in yoga today?" Barney whispered in her ear. She took in a deep breath and grabbed a roll, taking a bite out of the bread. They went through dinner, Barney played the piano for some unknown reason, and they hit up MacLaren's with Ted's dad. Barney had left her apartment extremely early that morning to meet Ted's mom for Mass and they met at Ted and Marshall's apartment.

"Dude, I'm seriously ticked at your dad right now." Barney said as the couple walked into the apartment together.

"Why?"

"Last night we go to MacLaren's for a drink, right? I was hanging out with Rose and we decided to leave cause I needed to be up early for Mass with your mom. Your dad stays to finish his drink. Anyways, I realize that I left my phone on the bar, so I come back and find your dad making out with Wendy. I even snapped a picture." Ted took the phone from Barney.

"Oh, my God. Is that really...oh, my God!"

"I know. Can you believe your dad did that?" Rosalie said.
