Hi Guys,
This is my second instalment in reactions! Please Review!

I could see Robin was thinking heavy. I knew exactly who she was thinking about.
"You don't have to be afraid Robin" I told her gently. She blinked at me and I raised my brow. "Don't even try that look on me Scherbatsky..." I warned. She sighed and the look slid off. "I know Lil...but it's still hard not to be scared...what if he doesn't want to come"
"This is Ted Mosby we're talking about right?" Marshall cut in. "Because if it is, then I know you have nothing to worry about...I know Ted had issues about you both in the past...but...I know in my heart he'd rather see his friends be happy...its why he told Barney's secret...he will do anything to make you smile Robin"
I nodded in agreement with my husband. "Marshall is right...we both know Ted really well...he'll be happy for both of you"
Barney nodded and took Robin's hand. "I agree with the lovebirds Robin...when I swore Ted to secrecy I was just testing him to see if he'd give you up...he did that...I think its only fair we tell him it worked" he told her.
That seemed to soothe Robin and she nodded. "Okay then...thanks Lil and Marshall..." she said and hugged her two friends. "We'll see you both later at MaClarans?" she asked. The two nodded and they left.

I was sitting in my living room reading my favorite architecture magazine when the doorbell rang. I got up and answered it to reveal Barney and Robin standing in the door way.
Their faces were a mix of relief and worry, though Robin looked much more worried than Barney like she was guilty of something. She reminded me of being a child who got caught being naughty.
"Hi Ted" they both said.
I have to admit it, I was relieved that it seemed everything had gone well for Robin and Barney last night. However, I couldn't escape the feeling that even if Robin was happy with her rekindled relationship with Barney that he didn't deserve her. I had to let all that go though. I was happy that Barney could finally be a better man and that he got the greatest woman I ever met to be his wife. I really was happy for my best friends.
I ushered them in and they took a seat on the couch while I retook my place in my favorite armchair.
"We have something to tell you" Robin said.
"Sure, go ahead, you guys can tell me anything" I said, urging them to continue. I knew what they were going to tell me though and braced myself.
"We're getting married" Barney blurted out.
Okay, so I couldn't brace myself. It was like a wrecking ball had whacked me in the stomach. Robin was getting married kept ringing in my head like an annoying song. I could hardly believe it as I frantically searched their faces for any sign that this was a joke. Their faces remained calm though. I'd just have to be happy for my best friends.
"Something wrong Ted?" Barney asked. I guess I didn't look happy. I took a small deep breath and smiled at my friend.
"Nope, everything's great...I am so happy for you two!" I exclaimed. I knew it was a lie but I had to be a bigger man now. Robin had never been mine I now realized. She was Barney's soul mate and I knew they made a great pair. I couldn't help but be jealous of Barney though and those bitter feelings of hatred for him stirred again. I pushed those feeling to the back of my mind. What kind of friend was I? I should be happy for them.
"Wow, I can't believe you two, especially you Barney, are finally trading single life for marriage and kids" I told them. As soon as those words left my lips Robin went dead white.

I felt Robin's hand tighten on my hand as she listened to Ted.
"Excuse me" Robin sputtered quickly getting up and walking in the direction of the bathroom. While we waited, I explained to Ted about everything that had happened since Robin left the Limo. When Robin didn't return in five minutes I quickly excused myself to go and find her. I finally found her curdled up in a ball in the corner of Ted's bathroom.

I suddenly felt strong arms wrap around my body. I knew immediately it was Barney. I desperately tried to prevent the tears from falling but it was useless. Barney said nothing, he just sat there and held me while I cried into his chest, staining his shirt with my tears. When my tears eventually dried Barney finally spoke.
"Robin, is everything ok?" he asked kindly. His warm and comforting words allowed me to pluck up the courage to tell him.
"Barney, I need to tell you something" I whispered
"Of course, you can tell me anything" he said.
"Remember when I thought was pregnant" he nodded " Well, I got a call to go back in and it turns out not only was I not pregnant but...I can't have kids" I whispered as a new set of tears started to fall, only this time soft hand gripped my cheeks wiping away the tears.
"Robin, nothing will ever change the way I feel about you. I want you. If I cant have you, kids would be pointless. My life would be pointless without you. I love you Robin Scherbatsky" A warm smile spread across his face as he spoke those words.
"Really?" I questioned.
"Of course, now let go back to Ted, he is all alone in the living room" He said pulling her up.
As they left the bathroom I knew that no matter what happened I could always rely on Barney to make everything better. Long as I had him and my three best friends, I'd be okay.
