Okay, this chapter explains how Robin and Barney had their daughter. There will be some struggles in the future but for now they are happy and married which is where I left off a couple of chapters ago. I wanted to show where B/R are in their lives when they get back together but as I promised the next chapter will explain more with the whole Ted situation. Trust me when I say, this won't be easy, it won't change B/R's statis together but it will change their friendship with Ted. This is just a warning for those who think that it will be a quick and easy way of telling Ted that B/R are together, married and have two kids.

As Robin watches her daughter eat her ice cream she smiles lightly to herself. Only 10 years ago she had found out that she was pregnant, it had come as a shocking surprise. She had found out she was pregnant with her daughter after Barney had surprised her in Spain. The day before he left to go back to New York, they had a lot to drink at a bar the evening after she finished wrapping up that day of work. They had a very drunken passionate night that neither realized what they were doing until the next morning which with how they passionately were all over each other. That night, they didn't use protection, they were too into each other to really know what they were doing and then the next morning came and they both woke up with killer hangovers and the sun beaming through the windows of their hotel room.
Robin, knew she couldn't get pregnant it was very unlikely to ever get pregnant for her and so neither really thought about protection that night or thinking about her getting unexpectedly pregnant from a night of passion they didn't really remember. So, a few days later, Robin was still in Spain on this assignment, working when she caught a bout of something making her feel like she wants to throw up. She thought whatever it was that was causing her to feel sick would pass. Unfortunately, it didn't pass and two minutes later she ran to the nearest bathroom throwing up this mornings breakfast. Barney, had left two days earlier back to New York to work, this new job with the FBI was truly something he never expected himself doing, he thought he would always remain a corporate tool and never pictured himself actually doing something exciting and interesting. He is now allowed to travel much more than he did back before they divorced, and is always on the go to some place within the US. The FBI though, also allows him to go to other countries but for now he's new to the job and remains in New York. He's allowed to only go to places within the US however he was happy when he excepted the job. He feels settled now that he has a solid job that allows him to travel and he is finally back together with Robin.
He had showed up to surprise Robin in Spain which had changed their lives and situation forever. They had just gotten married and went back to work, spending a lot of time apart and in different countries, it had both stressed them out and the distance made them both lonely, even more so than when they divorced and had been apart for four years. But, this night changed their lives which also had them having more problems than they did before they divorced.
2020
At this point, Robin still had yet to move in again officially, now that they're back together and married again things had went back to the normal for them after basking in the aftermath of remarrying just the day before. They had went back to their normal routines, Robin went on assignment to Spain and Barney started his new job with the FBI but when he surprised her unexpectedly last week, the night they had together had been a blur but two days later she found herself throwing up all day. She, had to see a doctor, the network had an on call doctor stationed wherever corespondents were stationed so WWN set up doctors wherever she had gone throughout the last four years.
So, that night they had had brought her here. Home, again after finding out that she's pregnant. This will be a huge shock for Barney, it had been a shock for her when she found out that she was pregnant. She had hoped that he would be home, she didn't have the courage to call or text him before coming home because she needs to tell him this in person and didn't want to worry him over the phone. Robin, knew that neither one of them wanted kids but that night last week changed everything and now she's standing in front of the door that is now her home again but still needs to officially move in again, which she was going to do when she came home in two days. She came home early because she needs to tell him that she's pregnant.
Barney had given her a key, the day after they remarried so she takes out her key and opens the door slowly, not knowing if he'd be there since she didn't call him to tell him she was coming home. He still thinks she's on assignment in Spain.
"Barney!" She calls out hoping he's home.
Barney had been on the phone in the bedroom when she called out to him. He had told the person that he needs to go and will call him back later when he heard Robin calling him from the living room.
"Robin, what are you doing home so soon?" He asks putting his phone on the kitchen counter and walking over to Robin who when she saw him immediately walked towards him embracing him with a much needed hug as the tears started to fall.
"Hey, what's wrong babe?" He asked in her ear, she had turned her tears into sobs as she clung to him burring her face deeper in his silk shirt.
It took a while for her to settle down and calm her emotions but when she did they had been sitting on the couch with her head on his lap and his hand gently running through her hair. His gentle touch calmed her down a bit but she was still crying as she lifted her head off his lap and looked at him for the first time since she saw him.
"Barney..." Now this was going to either make their lives better or it will make things harder after finally trying to get their relationship back to where it needed to be after they remarried. "I'm," she's having trouble getting this out, she thought it would be much easier to say. "Hey, what's going on?" He asks, now much more worried than he was a bit earlier when she came walking to him to hug him.
"I'm… I'm pregnant." She says as she starts to sob again, her tears had subsided a little but they came back more stronger after she tells him this surprising news.
He is looking at her, he's in shock. She knew he would be just as shocked as she was when she found out that she's pregnant and now he's just speechless. He's looking at her with shock on his face and nothing to say about this news. It took him a few minutes to collect his thoughts and feelings on this sudden news, but when he did the shock wore off and surprisingly he was happy with this news.
He hugs her, not as tight as earlier but still tight enough to have her embrace him more than she was a minute ago which caused her to relax in his arms with a sigh and a slight laugh which was needed at this point since everything had been so serious up until now.
"Wow, I can't believe it." He tells her, still in shock but trying to figure out how they're going to deal with this sudden shock of a surprise.
"Yeah, I can't either but after you left Spain I had suddenly gotten really sick and it was so bad that I had to go to the doctor to see why I was so sick. I was just as in shock as you are when the doctor told me that I was pregnant." They had broke the hug and were sitting apart but not too far apart from each other.
Barney is still trying to make sense of this news it was very unexpected and shocking but surprisingly he's somewhat happy about this. He knew she couldn't get pregnant but obviously she is and now things are going to change a lot in the next few months.
"I'm trying to wrap my head around this but I'm happy. I thought you couldn't get pregnant, I'm just really confused and shocked by this." He had put his arm back around Robin's shoulders embracing her to him again after being apart for a couple of minutes letting all this sink in his mind.
"I know, but the doctor says sometimes this happens some diagnoses with women who find out they're infertile that sometimes things like this happen. That, women do become pregnant after years of not being able to he said it was something about the body changing or some kind of thing like that that after sometime the body changes and the woman gets pregnant. Sometimes, the doctors are wrong with the diagnoses and in this case they were completely wrong." Robin tells him, this is all too shocking for them but the next thing she says makes everything he had been worrying about in the last few minutes had made him relax and come to terms with the fact that she is pregnant.
"I have another doctors appointment that the doctor in Spain set up for me for tomorrow, that's why I came home earlier than I was planning to. But, I'm okay with this..." He looks at her with a weird look, he really didn't expect that from her, she's always been so against kids and it's the thing that caused one of the fights they had before they divorced. But, surprisingly she's okay with this and he surprisingly is too.
"Are you sure? Because I know you wanted to keep your career going so what changed?" He's happy about this news but her career had been her whole life for along time, since knowing her she's always put her career first and it's the main reason they divorced so quickly without really discussing things first. He knows she wants to continue with her career and with overseas assignments but with the look she's giving him right now is telling him that she is okay with this news.
"Yeah. I mean, I came to terms with not getting pregnant years ago but when I found out that I was pregnant after the shock wore off, I had become okay with this. I'm happy, actually really happy about this news. We are back together again, married and settling down and now I can pull back from my career and work here in New York which is what I had been planning on doing after my next assignment, but now I'm not going on the next assignment and I'm staying in New York." He's looking at her like he's looking at some other woman he knows. When she says she's okay with this then he should be too, he should be thrilled that somehow, someway she unexpectedly did get pregnant after being told that she couldn't.
"We are stable and settled, we are happy, I think this is a good time to start a family." She wants this, somewhere deep down inside her she always did want to become a mother but knowing that she couldn't get pregnant had taken that possibility off the table. And, now she's fine with this because she's in a happy and good place in her life again. She has everything she's ever wanted, Barney and is happy to start a family with him.
"Wow, I didn't expect you to be so calm and excited about a baby. You really have changed." He smiles and kisses her quickly on the lips.
"If you're sure about this then I am too." She smiles at him hugging him again.
At this time in their lives, they are ready to have a more settled relationship plus the distance that had kept them apart is slowly starting to change their lives from being unstable and apart to being stable and more in love than they ever were. So, having a baby is a good thing. Until, some problems start down the road that caused them to drift apart again and briefly separate from sometime.
2030
Robin had never thought she would be here, her life had drastically changed the day she found out that she was pregnant and again a few years later had become pregnant with their 8 year old son. Having their son had found them once again being back together and becoming pregnant again changed their relationship again… But, that is a little down the road.
Now, Barney and Robin are happy, settled and are ready to start a family. Being married again was wonderful, their happiness is solid and now they need to focus on this unexpected miracle.
"I'm really happy we finally got us right again." Barney had just come into the room seeing his wife eying their daughter with a smile and tears on her face.
"Me too." She says smiling up at her husband. "And, to think that we almost lost everything again. I'm so glad we are happy now though. I never thought I would be here, happy, healthy, in love and with my family." She kisses her husband through her tears and they break apart as their daughter runs off into her bedroom after finishing her ice cream.
"I'm so glad we didn't actually come to that almost losing each other again." And, it's true they had gone through hell after their daughter was born but now after years of struggles, being apart, then together, then apart again, and together again everything is absolutely perfect in the Stinson household.
