Chapter 2 please enjoy and keep reading!
Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you baby, it was easy
Comin' back
The mirror is looking back at Barney as he stands staring himself down. His fears and nerves of almost walking down that isle is settling into one of the scariest albeit best day of his life. But as he stands there, looking at himself in his tux he reflex on the past and how he got here on this day looking at himself in the tall mirror in this beautiful church. This day has had so many twist and turns but Barney wouldn't change anything about how he feels at this moment. Just moments from walking down the isle and marrying his best friend, the love of his life and even if this moment is scary but wonderful he still fears that the future ahead might turn out badly not only for him but for Robin too.
The day he had met Robin Scherbatsky was the day his life changed. The moment he saw her he knew she was beautiful but once he got to know her he not only knew she was beautiful but also smart and witty and fun to be around. He doesn't know how she did it but she put up with all of his crazy antics, his womanizing, his challenges, she met his family and they all loved her the moment they met her just like he liked her when he first met her.
The day he finally figured out what he wanted and where he wants his life to go was the first time he's ever truly been honest with himself. He's known as a liar, probably one of the best liars he knows but the moment he decided to propose to Robin was the only time in his life where he didn't lie. He knew long before actually proposing that he wanted to be with Robin for the rest of his life but since they were with other people and couldn't be together the timing was still not right.
But, soon enough they were both single and the time to be together officially after too much time apart was here and for the last time Barney put everything he had on the line to get the only woman he's ever truly loved back for good.
Standing in front of this mirror and it reflecting back at him he wonders how Robin Scherbatsky ever wanted to be with him. Sometimes he wishes that Robin would've said no when he proposed because the thought of losing her again in the future was too much for his heart to take. If she said no that would've been the end of trying and the beginning of moving on for good. But, she didn't say no and ever since that night on that rooftop on Christmas Eve was not as nerve racking or scary. Looking back at that night and hoping/praying that Robin would say yes because she loves him and wants to be with him, he never imagined them being in this church about to get married. Two people who never wanted to get married or have a commitment to another person are right now in their own rooms getting ready for the start of their new lives together.
The love they share is now or never and the moment this day is over will be the moment that Barney Stinson and Robin Scherbatsky will end the scary thoughts about life and marriage and wipe it away forever.

2009
"I can't believe you bought these for me." Robin just received two tickets, front row to a Bon Jovi concert that she had been wanting to go to since they announced this tour.
"I knew you wanted to go so I bought two tickets for us to go." Barney smiled glad that Robin is happy that he bought these tickets for them and then Robin hugged him tighter than she has in over a month.
Since their breakup Barney and Robin went back to be the best friends they were before dating and since Barney knew that Robin wanted to go to this concert back when they were together not knowing if they would be together but when they did breakup Barney didn't forget about the concert he had pre-wanted to go to. The concert was almost sold out but luckily he found good seats at a good price at the last minute.
"I bought these back when we were together and wanted to surprise you with them but we broke up before I could tell you about them."
The reason Barney and Robin got along so well is because they had so much in common especially music. That's how back when they first met they bonded over music and what types they liked. He had made a Get Psyched mix CD for her when he knew what music she liked it was the first gift Barney ever gave her. She hadn't forgotten the night he came over and listened to the CD with her as they drank some wine and talked. Barney always liked Robin from the moment he saw her but the more he got to know her the more he fell for her. Barney would never admit it to anyone, even Robin. But, the little times they shared together was the best times he's ever had and it was how he started falling more in love but didn't know how to express the feelings he had then.
'Thank you. I can't believe you did this but thank you I've been wishing to go to this concert but the tickets were sold out by the time I got a chance to buy them." Robin and Barney were still in a embrace
of hugging as she talked but the moment she hugged him was the moment she wished would never end. She doesn't want to admit it but she misses him like she misses a good scotch when she isn't near the nearest bar but of course she will keep that to herself.
It was easy
Comin' back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
As Robin stood in front of the mirror in front of her she remembered the times when she fell for Barney Stinson and fell hard. The times when she just couldn't get out of bed because all that she thought about that kept her awake all night was Barney. And, she also thought about the times when they were just friends broing our and doing crazy things. But, then she remembered the times when she was alone and wished that Barney was there sleeping beside her in bed or just talking casually on the phone, by text or at Maclaren's. All of these times was the best times of her life and she wouldn't change that for a minute.
But, still as she stands in front of this tall mirror in front of her she wonders if she didn't meet or fell in love with Barney where would she be right now. If she didn't take that job in New York 9 years ago or hadn't met Ted, Marshall and Lily. Where would she be? The more she thought about it more she didn't have an answer to support a reason to where she hoped to be in her life. But then she thought about why she came to New York and the reason she wanted to have a career she's always dreamed of or traveling the world. None of those things panned out for her and that is now worrying her mind.
Loving Barney, being loved by him is best thing in her life and she wouldn't change that for a second. But, the more she thought about what she wants out of life the more she worries about what's going to happen if she marries Barney in just a few minutes...
you are the love of my life
