One common theme is the reaction of the group. As we know, the gang in HIMYM is very close - knit. So when Robin is pregnant, their reactions range from shock to excitement.

She has to balance her personal goals with the new responsibility of a baby.
A really popular Ted and Robin fanfiction is 'The Lost Years'. This story fills in the gaps of the years we didn't see much of in the show.

Another idea is that they discover they're having twins, which throws them for a loop as they had only prepared for one baby.
Another theme could be about dealing with sour situations in a positive way. Just as lemons are sour, there might be a story where Marshall and Lily face a difficult time, like an argument or a financial problem. But then they use the idea of 'lemon' metaphorically to turn the situation around. Maybe they make lemonade out of the 'lemons' life gives them by having a romantic dinner at home with a lemon - themed meal instead of going out to an expensive restaurant.

In the HIMYM universe, this could lead to various reactions from the gang. Ted might offer his over - the - top romantic support, Barney could struggle with the idea of a more 'settled' Robin, and Lily and Marshall would probably be the practical and emotional support she needs as she navigates this new chapter in her life.
