Robin couldn't seem to wrap her head around what was happening. She was pregnant with a baby. With Barney's baby. The baby that neither of them wanted. How was she supposed to tell him that she'd gone and gotten herself pregnant?

A drunken night and this is how it ended.

He was going to hate her. She just knew it. She couldn't tell him. But she had to. Her mind kept weighing the options. She was utterly confused.

"Robin? What's wrong?" Lily asked, walking in an interrupting her train of thought.

"Oh… Oh Hi, Lily."

"What did the doctor say?"

"Well the good news is that I'm not dying."

"See. I told you it was nothing."

"It's not really nothing…"

"Well what is it? Are you sick?"

"Not… exactly. Lily I'm pregnant. I don't know how or why, but all I know is that there is baby growing in here." She pointed to her stomach.

Lily's mouth hung open as she tried to find her speech. "That's… good?"

"I don't know how I feel about it."

"Well at least Kevin will be a good dad, right?"

"Kevin and I never had sex, Lily. It's Barney's baby. And I don't know how to tell him."

"You just have to tell him!"

Tears started to form in Robin's eyes. "I don't want him to hate me. I don't want him to think that I did this on purpose."

"Oh Robin," Lily said putting her arm around her. "Barney won't hate you. He knows that this wasn't apart of your plan."

"How do I tell him? What do I say?"

"Well saying hello for the first time since… that night… might be a good start." Lily couldn't help but have a smile on her face. "I'm sorry, I know that this isn't really a super happy time for you, but I can't help to think that this baby might have saved our group."

"Or ruined it for good."

"Robin, Barney loves you. That's why he's been avoiding you."

"I've hurt him so much. I promised I wouldn't do it again. Lily, how could he love me?"

"Why did you leave?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why didn't you stay with him? It's clear that you wanted to, so why didn't you?"

"It's… It's complicated with me and Barney."

"Well it's about to get a whole lot more complicated. Tell you what, come down to McLaren's tonight. I'll make sure that Barney's there."

"I don't know if I'm ready."

"Come on, Robin. It's like ripping off a band-aid. The quicker and faster you do it, the easier it will be."

Robin knew that Lily was probably right. She usually was right. That was why she agreed to go down to the bar that night. Marshall, Ted, Lily and Barney were all sitting at their regular booth.

"Hey." She approached them cautiously. "Can I pull up a chair?"

"Yeah, of course." Lily said, speaking for the group.

Robin pulled up a chair and say in-between Marshall and Barney.

"I'm about to go get more drinks, do you want a beer Robin?"

"I'll just take a scotch. Err- actually, I don't want a drink. I'll just take bottled water."

Lily gave her a nod of approval.

"So… How have you been Barney?"

He looked awkwardly at his drink. "Uhh… good. How have you been?"

"I've been good… I mean not really good. Everything is happening so fast, and it's not like I wanted it all to happen the way that it did."

Marshall returned with their drinks, handing Robin her water. Barney gave her a quick and small grin. "Stopped drinking?"

She laughed. "No way. Never. Just… taking a little break."

"You know, Marshall, It's getting late. I think that we should go to bed."

"What? No way. It's only ten, and I just started this drink."

"Well chug it and let's go. I have a very special surprise for you." She said with a wink.

This was enough motivation to get him to finish his beer in a few gulps and remove himself from the table. "I'll see you guys later."

"Ted, don't you have that big job tomorrow? What are you still doing up? Go get some sleep."

"I thought I might-"

"Just to go to bed, Ted, do you not see that Robin and Barney need to talk?" She telepathically told him.

"What? Why do they have to talk?" He telepathically replied.

"Have you not noticed they haven't talking in the last month? Just go to bed!"

"Alright! I'm going!"

"Lily's right." He said out loud. "I should get going."

With the three of them left Barney and Robin to discuss what it was that they needed to.

"So umm… A lot's been going on."

"I should probably get going too." Barney said, getting up to leave.

She grabbed his arm. "Barney. Please don't go."

"You said you wouldn't hurt me again. I told you I couldn't handle what happened last time."

"I know. I was horrible. I'm a self centered bitch, but I just really need to talk to you."

"I don't know that I want to hear anything that you have to say."

She pulled herself up, using the grip on his arm so that they were face to face. "Barney, I know I don't deserve it, but it's really important that you listen to me."

"Robin I-"

"I didn't leave because I don't love you. I do love you. I love you more than I thought was possible."

"I can't do this. I can't go threw another break up."

"Damn it Barney, this isn't about us."

"Then what's it about?"

Tears started to form in the corner of her eyes. "Please don't hate me, Barney. Please say that you don't hate me."

He couldn't take her crying. That was the one thing that he couldn't take. He reacted before he thought and pulled Robin into a hug. "Hey, do you really think that I could ever hate you? Of course I don't."

"You could never hate me?"

"Never."

"Barney, I know that you don't want kids, neither do I but… I don't know how it happened. I'm so sorry."

"Robin, what are you talking about?"

"I'm pregnant."

"How… How is that possible?"

"I don't know. But I don't want you to feel obligated."

"I would never let you raise this baby on your own. Even if we're not together, it doesn't mean that we can't parent together. I want to do this with you."

She let out a sigh of relief. "Good, because I don't know if I could have done this without you."

"Well you'll never have to know. I promise I'll be there through everything. I want to be apart of everything."

Robin embraced Barney again. "Thank you."

"No, thank you. Not any woman would be awesome enough to carry a Legendbaby in her womb."
