A/N: The fourth chapter. Read and tell me what you think.


Chapter IV: You're what now?

Ted rushed to Metropolitan Hospital Center. He ran and asked the receptionist where to find Robin Scherbatsky. The receptionist told him where she was and when he got to

her room, he saw Robin standing by her bed. She was dressed up.

Ted sighed in relief. "Robin." He was gasping for air.

"Geez, Ted. You look like you've joined a triathlon" Robin said turning around.

"Well Scherbatsky, let me tell you. If I ever do join a triathlon, I assure you I am not gonna win." Ted said coughing.

"I wouldn't expect you to." Robin said with a smile.

"I thought you were in critical condition." Ted raising his eyebrow.

"Nah. It was a minor concussion. Patrice forgot to get my wallet and I needed a ride home." She was preparing to leave.

"Seriously? I ran four blocks just to treat you a ride? Why couldn't Patricia.." "Patrice." "Patrice, take you a ride home?"

"I dunno. When I asked her where my wallet was, she told me she didn't bring a wallet or even a purse then she just left."

Ted opened his mouth to speak but he closed it again as the doctor came in.

"Ms. Robin Scherbatsky?" The doctor asked. She was tall, pretty and probably in her late twenties.

"Yeah. I'm here."

"Would you please sign this papers and you'll be free to go."

"Thanks" Robin took the chart and signed it.

"Okay, thanks. I see your boyfriend is here." The doctor said

"Me? Oh no. I'm not her boyfriend. I'm just a friend. Coming to pick her up. Cause she didn't bring her purse." There was awkward silence in the room.

"Oh. So... Ms. Scherbatsky. You and your friend here can go now." The doctor broke the silence.

"Oh, yeah. Umm.. Let's go Ted." Then they left. The two decided to go to Robin's apartment first. When they got there Robin immediately went to her room to get her purse.

When she looked at her phone there were 6 missed calls and a text from Quinn.

Hey Robin. you didn't come. I guess you're busy. Well, I was with Ted so let's talk another time, kay? Call me.

What does she want from me? She thought.

"Wow, Robin! This is quite an apartment." Ted said coming in her bedroom.

"Thanks." Robin gave him a small smile.

"If you don't mind me asking, how'd you end up in the hospital?" Ted sat on her bed.

"I woke up late and rushed in the bathroom. After I took a shower, I slipped and hit my head. Good thing I left my spare keys at work last night and Patrice came here to return it. She found me."

"And she forgot your purse."

"And she forgot my purse. So, how was your morning. Less tragic than mine I'm sure." Robin and Ted went to the living room.

"I don't know if I'd call it tragic but I bumped into Quinn this morning, at MacLaren's." Ted felt comfy in her sofa and opened the TV.

Robin froze. "Really? What'd you talked about?

"Not much really. You know I find it weird. I mean Barney being married to Quinn. I always have imagined Barney do lots of stuff to strippers but I never imagined him marrying one."

"Why not?" Robin took two bottles of beer from the fridge and gave one to Ted.

"Thanks." Ted took a sip. "To be honest, I thought he would end up with you."

Robin was dumbfounded. Why the heck would Ted think that? Is this revenge for messing up his life? Cause this is definitely messing up her head.

"W-why would you think of such a thing?" Robin said in a nervous voice.

"Well, after all the struggle you too have been through, it's hard not to consider." Ted admitted. He has seen them together long enough to know that even now they both still have feelings for each other. They just won't admit it to themselves.

"So, Quinn?" Robin hoping to change the topic before this gets any further.

"Oh yeah. I gave her my blessing. As much as I think this wedding is crazy, I think it's what our best friend wants. Plus, I'm the best man." Ted proudly announced.

Robin laughed. "Don't cry in the reception, okay?"

Then, Ted's phone rang. It was Marshall.

"Hey Marshall!"

"Ted, dude, me and Lily are at MacLaren's. We're with Barney and Quinn. They want you and Robin here."

"Sure. I'm with Robin. We'll be right there."

"Great." Marshall hungup.

"Hey, Lily texted me. We need to be at MacLaren's, ASAP." Robin said while reading a text.

"I know. Marshall called." Ted said as he put his phone in his pocket.

"Come on." Then they left for MacLaren's. When they got to MacLaren's they saw the whole gang by the booth laughing. "Hey guys. Sorry we're late." Robin greeted while pulling a chair from the table beside the booth. "What's the laughing all about?" Ted asked.

"Oh, it was nothing." Barney answered.

"So, why did we need to be here, ASAP?" Robin said copying Lily's text.

"Oh, I have a big announcement." Barney stood up again.

"What?" Ted asked but he already knew what Barney was gonna say.

"I wanted to say that I have chosen my best man."

"Oooh. Oooh! It's James!" Marshall guessed. "No. Its-"

"Your suit guy!" Lily exclaimed. "No. It's-"

"It's Carl!" Ted shouted. "No, Ted. Actually it's-"

"I know! It's Ranjit!" Marshall exclaimed and Ted, Robin and Lily nodded.

"Guys! It's Ted! Okay? It's Ted Mosby!" Barney said in surrender and plopped down next to Quinn.

"Really?" Ted said acting to be surprised. "Wow, Barney. I'm... I'm touched."

"I know you are, Ted. After years of being a wingman, this is how I thank you." Barney then gave Ted a hug.

"Awww." Robin said. "How sweet. Ted," Robin put her hand on Ted's shoulder. "Don't cry on the reception." She smirked repeating what she said earlier.

"Now I have to announce something" Quinn said. Barney smiled while the others were confused.

"Quinn, I think you should announce the maid-of-honor when your maid-of-honor is here." Lily said with a confused look.

"You're not telling us that it's either me or Lily is it?." Robin looked around to see if anyone was looking towards them or whatever. Maybe this was what she wanted to talk about. Is it me? She was beginning to get nervous.

"No, it's not about my maid-of-honor. I wanted you guys to know that..." Quinn put her arms around Barney. "I'm pregnant." She smiled and left everyone dumbfounded.
