Ps – I've started rewatching all of my supernatural DVDs, does this mean a supernatural fanfic in my future? Judging by how long this one is going, maybe not, but we'll see, haha.
Seems that all I really was doing
was waitin' for love
Barney woke up with Robin on his chest. It was his favorite position. Well, not really, but not counting sexual ones it was definitely in his top two.
He yawned and started to try and roll out from underneath her. She gave a low groan and sunk her fingers into his skin where she could.
"Don't move yet." She whispered into the silk of his suit-jamas. He smiled and snuggled back down, his hand stroking the back of her head.
Yeah… He thought to himself. Definitely top two. She shifted, so that her boobs were pressed up against his side, pushing against him with every breath, and he grinned. Move it up to favorite.
Ted woke up in a tangle of bed sheets, his jeans, and the night before. A blond head resting on the other pillow was facedown and enjoying a good deep sleep snore. He groaned and turned over to his nightstand, accidentally knocking over the remnants of the wine. 8:00. It was too early to be up. He contemplated getting up, but changed his mind, putting his hand behind his head.
The girl turned and sputtered in her sleep, before belting out a louder snore, almost a growl. He sat up with a huff, thrusting himself off the bed and his feet on the floor, and then ambling towards the kitchen. If he couldn't sleep, he'd need coffee, lots of it.
"Good Morning Mr. Ted." Ted looked up at the voice. There was a woman in a very short, very low cut maid's uniform leaning over his table, placing a plate of pancakes and bacon in front of a chair. She turned and curtsied.
"I'll be right out with your coffee sir."
"Um… thanks… I think." Ted sat down as the woman went into the kitchen. He sat for a moment, reaching for a piece of bacon, generally confused. She re-entered the room, coffee cup and the sugar and milk balanced on a tray. "Oh my god, thank you." He said, taking the coffee taking a drink. He turned and looked at her again. "Who are you?"
"I'm Christina."
"Hello Christina." Ted said. He took another thankful drink and smiled. "Oh that's good…" He turned back to her. "Why are you here?"
"Oh. Mr. Barney hired me for the next 3 weeks to cook and clean for you."
"In that outfit?"
"Yes sir." She said, reaching for a cloth. She bent over the edge of the table, wiping a spot on the far end. Ted sipped his coffee again, and let his eyes trail up her legs. Sexy maid in the kitchen, naked girl in his bed… He felt like he was living someone else's life, he wasn't sure whose, but he knew that that person indeed had an awesome one.
"So then I turned the corner, and this guy's son is coming from the other way, and I'm on the receiving end of a surprise motorboat! On live TV!" Clover said, flipping through the pile of notes on her desk. Robin laughed.
"No way."
"It was all over the 6 o'clock last night. You didn't see it?"
"No! I was busy with wedding stuff."
"Well you missed the news blooper of the century." She said with a grin.
"You've got something on your cheek." She said. Clover wiped at the smudge. It didn't move.
"Its still there."
"Eh." She said flippantly. "Thanks again for the wedding invite Robin. I'll be even happier if you say you didn't invite Kerry."
"I didn't invite Kerry."
"I'd be even happier if you meant it." Robin laughed.
"Its more like she invited herself as your plus one."
"What!" Clover scoffed. "I had a date lined up and everything."
"Clover…"
"Ok fine, I was going to get my gay friend Luke to come. He wants ideas for his wedding. Plus… he's best friends with the guy that I'd really like to come, so we were gonna pull a switch thing…" She trailed off. "Or, you know, just not Kerry." Robin laughed.
"Well, my charming friend. Do me a favor." Clover looked up. "Please tell Kerry before she shows up at my wedding." They both laughed.
Marshall was holding Bryan while Lily was in the shower. His head kept nodding, and he was afraid he was going to fall asleep before Lily was done.
He stood, rocking Bryan slowly and humming. Bryan was already asleep, his fingers flexing in his dreams.
"That's right Bry, go for that lay up." Marshall yawned again. If Bryan was anything like him, he'd be out playing basketball by the time he was two. Bask-ice-ball, he'd wait until he was five. He himself would have to play coach. He thought he could do it, but not like his dad. He sighed and looked down at his son, sleeping in his arms.
"Your grandpa…" He whispered to Bryan, the smile on his lips tinged with a hint of sadness. "Was the greatest man ever. I wish you could have met him."
Lily climbed out of the shower, throwing the towel around herself and giving a sigh of relief. She'd felt like a dripping, sweaty, stinking cow for a minute there. Bryan had spit up about 5times on her, after the second, she refused to change her shirt again, and left it until She'd been able to hand him over to Marshall.
Marshall was due back at work the next week, so they were milking out their time left together. By milking, Marshall meant spending as much time with Lily and Bryan as possible. Lily meant letting Marshall take him as much as possible to make up for when he wasn't there to help.
She walked out to the living room.
"Marshmallow." She said with a smile. She noticed him sitting on the couch and walked over. "Marshall baby." She leaned over his shoulder. "Aww…"
Marshall had fallen asleep holding Bryan. She gave them both a smile.
"My big strong man." She said, leaning in and kissing his forehead.
"Ok, so here's my deal." Barney said to the phone. Robin was on the other end, laughing . "I see you're three orgasms."
"Since when was this poker?"
"Who said anything about cards?" She could almost hear him wink on the other side of the phone. "Anyway, I'll see your three, and you raise one."
"Barney, that's not how, Oh." She said, suddenly understanding. "Very clever Stinson."
"It's why you think I'm so awesome."
"Maybe part of it." She paused. "So… Katie is coming down the week of the wedding."
"Ah, bachelorette escapades."
"No." Robin said. "More like sisterly bonding before one goes out and joins the world of the married."
"Oh boo. You guys suck."
"Oh yeah, what you guys have planned."
"Psssh, its for those guys to plan and me to enjoy."
"You bought the tickets to Vegas and arranged the stripped because you knew they wouldn't?"
"You know me too well."
"Part of the reason I'm marrying you." She said. "You do know that stops when we're married."
"Yes dear."
"Don't call me that."
"Yes ma'am." He said. "Speaking of what to call you, are you going to go by Scherbatsky or Stinson."
"Hmm… I hadn't thought about it yet." She leaned back in her desk chair. "Scherbatsky is an awesome name."
"Not half as awesome as Stinson."
"Well I don't know about that." She laughed. "The initials won't change either way."
"It will."
"They're both S."
"Stinson is spelled A-W-E-S-O-M-E." Robin laughed again.
"I have to go."
"Goodbye Robin Stinson."
"Scherbatsky."
Ted walked over to his answering machine. Christy had left after lunch, once Ted had told her he wouldn't be in for dinner. She'd told him she'd be in in the morning, and left with another curtsy. The girl in his room had come out while Christy was bending over the couch, fluffing the pillows. She'd rolled her eyes, told him she'd call him, maybe, and left.
He looked down, his finger inching towards the play button. He took a breath and pressed it. The same sobs, then nothing. He checked for anything else, but no number registered with it. It must have been blocked.
He yawned and stretched, his mind drifting back to his drawer of condoms. Should he head out? Maybe not. Three nights was a big much, and he didn't feel much up to it.
His eyes fell on the card Christy had left on the table, and he thought back to his waking up that morning.
"Then again…" he grinned and stood.
Robin
Yes, I am still single. Why? What did you have in mind?
Keep in mind I hate hate hate blind dates and set ups!
Starla
Ps – bought a dress! It's adorable. You have to see it.
Robin smiled. Her friends sure did like to shop. She turned to the bridal magazine she had on her desk, hidden under a pile of papers. She still wasn't sure if she was going to let Lily and Katie pick out their dresses or not. Wondering why she'd given in to Lily's color scheme, she flipped the page.
There was another gorgeous dress. She hadn't understood the draw of a wedding gown before, but looking at it, and realizing that she'd be in one soon, marrying of all people Barney Stinson.
If she could go back a year and tell herself, she'd never believe it. Five years ago, she'd have to declare herself insane and check into a psych ward.
Speaking of dresses, her dress appointment was coming up. She'd have to go with Lily to 'accidentally' stumble upon the store.
Lily yawned, resting her head on Marshall for a moment.
"So you will watch Bryan while I'm over Robin's?"
"Of course." He said. "But don't you think that you're spending too much time on their wedding?"
"What do you mean?"
"Baby they need my help."
"I don't know Lily, maybe they want some alone time."
"They can have that after the wedding." Lily said. "Besides, we've only got a few more things left to do before the wedding, and then we can go looking for the dress."
"I don't know Lilypad, maybe you should stay home tonight. With us." He gave her a sad puppy face and held up Bryan. She smiled.
"Oh fine." She leaned back against his arm again, the three of them enjoying the couch and each other. "Only because I love you Marshall Erikson."
"I love you too Lily." Bryan gave a coo. "And of course I love you Baby B."
