Participles after there be and have
I've recently come up with the question of whether I can form such sentences:
There is/ I have an idea come to my mind
I have (or having?) two friends walking with me.
What I want the second sentece to be similar to is "My two friend and I are walking, Two my friends are walking with me", I'm curious if the sentences above sound natural and correct to you.
I'm sorry if the question is written odd, I'm not really used to making such questions.
