A/N: Hey guys! Here is the 10th chapter of my story. I wanna say thanks to those who has been giving their reviews. Thank you very much. Sorry if you haven't seen a lot of B/R action lately. I just want to make it clear that Marshall, Lily and Ted are gonna play a big role on how the two are gonna get back together. Besides, I don't want to leave these three in the background. In this chapter and following chapters it would be mostly about Barney and Robin already and their struggle for their feelings for one another. I have all this planned out, so don't worry. No more chit chat, here's the 10th chapter! :D

Chapter X: Over

Two weeks have passed. The gang was at Long Island. Quinn and Barney had to push their wedding a month to ensure that Lily have fully recovered. Everybody was spending all their free time with the newborn baby. It was okay for Lily and Marshall 'cause it kinda helps them. They haven't had decent sleep the for the first few days. Ted and Robin agreed to stay at Lily and Marshall's house until the baby learns to sleep for a full night, even though they hated the suburbs, to help their friends. Barney was still preparing for the wedding, which Ted thinks it's a bad idea.

After the thing that happened two weeks ago, Ted had been trying so hard to keep it all to himself. He has been thinking of telling Marshall but everytime he gets Marshall alone either the baby cries or either Robin or Lily comes or even worse, Barney shows up. Should he tell him? But it would break his heart. Ted was now faced with a difficult dilemma. How could he keep something so important. He couldn't take it anymore. He went to Marshall and Lily's room. Knocked on the door twice and went in.

"Guys?" Ted said taking a peek at Lily and Marshall.

"Oh. Hey, Ted." Marshall said sitting up rubbing his eyes.

"Oh. You guys were probably resting. I'll... I'll just go." Ted said with an apologetic look in his face.

"No, Ted. It's fine. We were supposed to wake up anyway. What's up?" Lily said standing up.

"It's nothing serious, really. You guys need to rest before Jamie wakes up." Ted reasoned.

"Ted, what's wrong?" Lily said with a concerned look. Ted sighed.

"I want to tell you guys something." Ted said going inside their room closing the door behind him.

"We clearly see that, Ted." Marshall said.

"But you guys have to promise me not to say a single word to the others." Ted said. Lily's eyes widened. She knew it was serious.

"But Ted, isn't that a little..." Marshall was interupted by Ted. "Promise me, guys!"

"Okay, we promise." Lily said sitting at the edge of their bed.

Ted took in a deep breath. "Barney's not the father of Quinn's unborn child." Ted spat out. Marshall and Lily's eyes widened in shock.

"What?" The couple said in perfect harmony. "How.. How'd you know?" Marshall asked.

"I saw her with a guy in a coffee shop when Lily was giving birth. That was actually the reason why it took me so long to come back." Ted then explained everything he heard Quinn and that guy Kyle said. Marshall and Lily could not believe what they just heard. Upon hearing all of this Lily exploded.

"That witch!" Lily said angrily. "She taunts Robin and now she's playing Barney? I'll teach her how to play my friends. I'm gonna make sure that that little bitch gets her poodle ass back to hell."

"Woah, baby. What do you mean she taunted Robin?" Marshall tried to calm Lily down.

Lily froze. She slipped. Damn it! She had no choice but to tell Ted and Marshall what Robin told her. "Quinn told Robin to stay away from Barney. And Robin was stupid enough to follow her."

"That's bad. Just bad." Ted was lost of words. How could Quinn be this evil?

"I know. That's why we should stop this wedding." Lily suggested.

"No! That would be worse. We would break Barney's heart and possibly Quinn's." Ted said in deep thought.

"But you heard it yourself, Ted. She loves this Kyle guy more than Barney." Lily pointed out.

"I know. But I know she's inlove with Barney too. Like what she said, she's torn." Ted was trying to think of an idea.

"Ted's right, baby. I think if we had to make up a plan we have to make sure we don't hurt either our friend or Quinn." Marshall backed up Ted.

"Then what should we do?" Lily asks.

"Nothing." Ted answered. He stopped thinking. Nothing. He thought. They should do nothing. They can't do anything.

It was late. It was Ted's turn to stay at Long Island tonight so Robin had the night all to herself. She goes to MacLaren's and sees that no one she knows was there. She orders a plate of chicken wings. She has been craving fat full food for almost two months now. Ever since... Ugh. Nevermind. Point is she's craving for chicken wings. She sits at their booth waiting for her order. She thought of how her day went.

It was like any other day, Sandy has been annoying her, Patrice has been giving her cookies, She's been researching stuff she needs to research and she anchored the late night news show. Her career has been perfect. Her life would also be perfect if it wasn't missing this one thing. She doesn't want to get into this thought any farther. She might actually lose her mind if she ever thought of... "Hey Scherbatsky!" It was a very familiar voice. A voice she dreaded to hear.

"Hey, Barney." She said softly.

"Why are you here all alone? Did you know that being alone is depressing." Barney sat down across Robin.

"Ooooh. Interesting." Robin said sarcastically.

"Huh! Good thing the Barnacle is here to save you from depression!" Barney said in a heroic kind of tone.

"I'm saved." Robin said with the same amount of sarcasm.

Barney's face then became serious. "Robin." His voice was now serious.

"What?" Robin said looking at the back of her shoulder to see if her order's coming.

"I wanted to ask you something."

"Shoot."

"Why don't you wanna go to my wedding?" Barney asked. Robin suddenly froze. She was surprised. She was speechless. She stared blankly at Barney.

"H-how did you know?" Robin thought it was a stupid question. She already knew the answer.

"Lily told me." Barney answered as Robin expected.

"What else did she tell you?" Robin was a little shaky.

"Uhh. That you wanted a pet dragon?" Barney and Robin both gave a faint chuckle on that part. Three seconds later, they got back to being serious. "Other than that, Lily won't tell me anything. Robin, why won't you go?" Robin didn't speak. Her order came in but she told the waitress to just give it to the beggar by the alley. She had lost her appetite.

"Please say something." He begged her. Robin remained silent.

"If you don't want to say something, then I will." Barney said sitting up straight. "Two weeks from now I'm gonna stand infront of the altar with a woman I will spend my whole life with..." Barney started. "Please, stop." Robin said in a very soft voice. It was barely even a whisper.

"A woman who I'll vow to be with forever..." "Stop it." Robin whispered but Barney still couldn't here. She was fighting back tears.

"And that same woman who I'd start a family with and be happy for the rest of my life and I want you guys to be there." "I don't want to see it Barney!" Robin shouted. Tears running, anger exploding.

"What? Why?" Barney seemed surprised as the people in the bar. Instead of answering, Robin stood up and walked out and Barney was tailing behind her. When they got outside...

"Robin, wait! Would you please answer me?" Barney said grabbing Robin's arm. Once Robin seemed to have stayed put Barney started to speak again.

"Be honest with me here. What the hell is going on with you?" Barney asked.

"Isn't it obvious Barney? I'm.." Robin wiped a tear. "I'm still inlove with you. I never got over you. I.." She took in a deep breath. "I love you, Barney."

Barney was speechless. He stared at Robin. He didn't think and God only knows why he did this but he slapped Robin in the face. "Why do you keep doing this?" Barney said in a weary voice. With that said he let go of Robin's arm, hailed a cab and never looked back. He was tired of it. He was tired of getting his heart broken. It's about time he gets a break from Robin. He sighed. He felt sorry for what he did. But he can't take it back. This meant only one thing...

"Our friendship is over." Robin told herself while touching her cheek. Tears started to fall and so did rain. She just stood there, drenched in the rain and her world falling apart.
