Next chapter will be them telling the gang I wanted to have a separate chapter for that and then I will be doing a New Years chapter both chapters will be up this week so I hope you'll enjoy and thanks for reading.


It was already 4pm when Robin woke up. She realized as she looked around her that she wasn't in her bed. In fact she is in Barney's. She doesn't even need to look down at the blanket over her, the sheets were silky soft, the pillow was very comfortable and the blanket is gray just like Barney's apartment. She knows what happened the night before and she knows that she slept through the night and the next day. She woke up a bit sore from sleeping so long but overall she is completely aware of what happened the night before and honestly, truthfully she's okay with it despite breaking down in Barney's arms. His strong, warm, caring, supportive arms and all she remembers is his body around hers and him lifting her up in those strong arms and carrying her to the bedroom. She was exhausted and drained from everything that has happened in the last couple of months possibly the last few months, since well April maybe it was the entire year she had realizing that all this time she's still in love with Barney and the moment she saw him with Nora, reuniting caused her this emotional downward spiral that caused her so much pain which led her to Kevin even though she still had feelings for Barney she dated him and regrets ever doing so. She hates herself for all the pain she's caused not only with Kevin but with Barney mostly and herself.

The fact that she was so scared to be happy and almost seeing her happiness disappear. But, after everything that's happened she finally feels at peace. She's happy, yes she still regrets the roller coaster she went through this year but doesn't regret ever loving Barney. She knows he's the one, it had taken her a one night stand and a pregnancy to realize it but she does and she doesn't regret how much she loves Barney. She wants to spend the rest of her life with him and their baby.

Robin, felt a chill as she got out of bed and surprisingly she was still dressed in the clothes from last night but there is a robe on the Barney's dresser. She smiles thinking how sweet he is for giving her that robe, she had left that here at Barney's after they broke up because she wanted to have something there just in case she happens to be at Barney's apartment. She slowly puts the robe on instantly warming her up then goes out to the living room seeing if Barney's around. He was, in fact on the phone.

Barney smiled when he sees her, glad she's well rested and looks much better than she was the night before. He ends his call and looks at Robin who's in the kitchen looking for some coffee.

"Hi, well you were out the entire night and all day today. How are you feeling?" He asks walking over to where Robin was pouring herself some coffee that wasn't so fresh anymore.

"Better, thank you for taking care of me and for the robe I forgot I had this here." She smiles lifting the mug in her hands to her lips.

"Yeah, I thought you would wake up at some point so I gave you the robe just in case you needed it." He walks over to her and gives her a quick kiss on her lips before parting.

"Yes, I did need it I felt a little chilly so thank you for thinking I needed it." She smiles putting her arms around his neck pulling him close to her.

"So, after last night I wanted to ask… are you okay with maybe telling the other about us being together and the baby?" The person he was talking to just a little bit ago was Lily she said she was worried about Robin, she seemed so sad during Thanksgiving. Barney had been thinking about telling the gang about getting back together with Robin and them having a baby but he didn't want to tell then alone and he didn't want to do anything without asking Robin first since he didn't want to get off to a bad start with her when they just got back together.

"That was Lily on the phone, she wanted to know if I knew what was going on with you. She's worried that you are sad over something and felt like a bad friend for not asking or helping you with whatever you're going through." Robin knew she was being a bad friend for not talking to Lily or anyone really for months, nobody knew about her feelings for Barney, nobody knew that they slept together, nobody knew that she was going to breakup with Kevin and most importantly they didn't know that she was pregnant. Robin, wondered if this is a good time to tell everyone about them and thinks maybe it is since she no longer wants to keep this from their friends.

"Yeah, I feel bad for pushing her away she was worried about me." She pauses "Okay, I think it's time to tell them I mean I was a mess last night but I think it's time. The fact that we have kept this very important thing going on with us they should know what's going on. Call, Lily back and tell her that you will meet with her tomorrow night and I will call her a little later to also tell her the same thing." Barney picked up his phone immediately redialing Lily's number. Lily picked up on the third ring.

"Hey, Lily it's me." Barney started, he hopes she and Marshall is free tomorrow night so they can meet up and talk.

"Oh, hi Barney what's up?" Lily asked, her stomach is ever growing with every day and she's getting bigger in this pregnancy.

"I, um wanted to see if you're available tomorrow night. You and Marshall, I have something to talk to you about and it's very important." Barney was solid all the way through this conversation trying not to give himself or anything away cause Lily knows when he's lying or holding something back from her which does annoy him from time to time.

"Yes, I'm free I will tell Marshall. What time tomorrow?"

"How's 6?"

"I think that's fine I'll let you know what Marshall says."

"Okay, thanks Lily see you tomorrow."

They hang up and at this time Barney had sat down on the couch and Robin is sitting next to him listening on to his and Lily's conversation.

"So?"

"She's free but needs to talk to Marshall. I told her 6 o'clock."

"Okay, I will talk to her later but won't discuss our plan."

"I hope this works, I don't know what they are going to say about this but I hope they won't be mad or think we're just being together for the baby."

Robin, had thought about what to say to their friends this wasn't going to be an easy conversation to have but it will be easier with them than it was with Kevin although that went surprisingly better than she had thought. She's just worried their friends will make comments that neither Barney or Robin want to hear. She wants this all to be over with so they, Barney and herself can be happy.

"I think it will." Barney moved over to Robin and put his arm around her back and she moved in to his embrace and rested her head on his shoulder.

Being this close, this intimate with him always felt safe it's something she could never really explain or understand herself but whenever she's close to him like this rather it's a hug, kiss or just him being near her like this and all the other times at the bar when they're sitting together. Even, when they weren't together and dating they always seem to be more close to each other than normal friends are. The warmth of his body always felt more comforting than it should be but she always loved it and never said anything because she allows the embraces because she wants to be close to him. His shoulder had always been such a soft comforting spot to rest her head on, his chest was her favorite spot but his shoulder was a close second spot to lean on.

"I hope so, I know how judgmental our friends can be. I just don't want them to think that we're together for the baby." Robin, knows that her friends aren't the best at keeping things to themselves especially Lily with being a blabber mouth but she also knows that they're going to butt into their relationship just like they did the first time they dated and neither one of them wants that again it only made their relationship become a disaster.

"Yeah, believe me I know this won't be smooth sailing but hopefully they will be happy for us." Barney just wants for this to be over, he really just wants to spend some alone time with Robin before all the heavy baby things start. They just got back together it's their time to just be a couple again before they have the baby so hopefully all of the things they need to get out of the way will go smoothly so that they can just be a happy, normal couple. They don't want to get anyone mad or have this keep going on and on so letting their friends know what's going on with them is the right thing to do.

"Anyways, with Kevin out of the picture, our friends almost knowing about us and this little one on the way," He settings his hand on her stomach smiling as she looks down at his comforting hand on her stomach that is starting to show a little bump. "I was thinking… maybe we should have sometime to ourselves and go out to dinner tonight cause frankly I think we both need to have this time together since we just got back together." Barney, knew she was tired after everything she went through recently and hopes they can just be together before anymore chaos comes their way. They deserve it, after everything they both went through.

"I would like that." Robin looks back up at Barney and looks into his loving eyes the same eyes who look at her this same way anytime he looks at her. It always melts her heart whenever he looks at her.

They get up from the couch and go to get dressed but take a shower before getting dress together. Tomorrow is going to be a long day, they need to figure out what to do about their relationship and how they're going to work with this pregnancy.
