Barney texted Lily the next morning telling her that he's on his way to meet him. She texted back that he needs to meet her at the JFK Airport lounge, he wondered why but didn't ask her why. They met outside the airport first, Robin was no where to be seen she was in the ladies room waiting for Lily to text her to come out of hiding. When Barney arrived at the airport Robin peeked out to see if she could spot him. Lily had told her that Barney's on his way it made her more nervous than she has been all day, make that for 24 hours. She hasn't eaten properly since the day before yesterday and was becoming more and more nervous as the hours and minutes go by. She was currently in the bathroom, knees can't stop shaking, her hands are sweaty and she's feeling a little nauseous. This can't go wrong, this has to work. She wants to be with him so desperately, Lily had calmed her down many times this morning but she can't stop being nervous and thinking that this plan will blow up in her face just like all the other times something bad happened to her.

The moments she was most scared was always when it came to Barney. She had never felt the way she feels for him ever in her life. She's never opened her heart to falling for anyone let alone falling so deeply in love with him that she could never stop thinking about their almost divorce. That whole week in Argentina, was hectic on both of them to say the least. They had fought constantly for weeks before that day, it was bound to come to a head at some point. But, there hasn't been a moment since that day in Argentina that she doesn't keep thinking that she gave up too soon. She always does this, she always bails on things, she always takes the easy way out to prevent her from being hurt. In the end the only person she hurt was herself for letting him go again.

She let him go once, she let him go twice, but the third time letting him go she thought it was for the best. The first time they ended their relationship wasn't because they didn't love each other. She was so in love with him by then, it was because they weren't ready for a serious commitment. Or what Barney likes to say, he was scared of them not working out. Then it didn't. They went back to being best friends, deep down though neither one of them stopped feeling the way they do for each other. The second time was a different situation. They had slept together on the spur of their conversation they had during the hurricane. She had wanted him so badly she couldn't contain herself. That night was passionate, hot, desperate wanting, it never became about what they feel until after. Not choosing to be with him again wasn't because she didn't love him it was because she couldn't trust her own heart to show him how much she loves him. Back then, she realized that maybe liking the nice guy wasn't what she wanted. Breaking up with Kevin was for the best her heart was just not invested in that relationship because her heart never stopped its feelings for Barney. It never stopped. Then when he proposed she said yes instantly.

And now after taking the easy way out like she always does when I comes to Barney and their relationship she can't stop thinking about him being with someone else or him not loving her anymore. That's her problem she over thinks about everything she does or in this case thought was something she really wanted. But, standing here in front of the restroom mirror looking at her reflection she hopes all those memories, the bad ones and the good ones will be erased from her mind entirely. She hopes that Lily can talk some sense into him and convince him to go with her on her trip to Hawaii.

Back in the airport cafe Barney and Lily sit down to talk and catch up.

"So why did you pick the airport to meet?" Barney asked her after taking a sip of coffee.

"Look, Barney as your friend I want you to be happy. I want to ask, are you happy?" Lily knew Barney was just putting up a happy front but knows he hasn't been happy since he and Robin split up. She watches his face for an expression and hopes that he's honest with her.

"Of course I'm happy. Why wouldn't I be?" Barney wasn't looking directly at her when he said this he was still drinking his coffee and snacking on a muffin. He knew what this was about but all he did was nod shacking his head yes two more times finally he looks up.

"Barney, I know you. I have known you for along time I know how you operate your emotions. You aren't happy. I know you say you are but you really aren't. So, that's why we're here instead of going to Maclaren's or some place else." Lily pauses looking down then back up at her friend. "I know everything." She begins again causing a 'what are you talking about?' look from Barney.

"Know what?" Barney questioned wondering where this conversation was going.

"I know about Argentina. I know everything that happened between you and Robin and what caused you two to split almost divorcing. I know that you two have been delaying your divorce. I know how hurt both of you are about your split. You two are also the biggest flakes I ever seen in my life, you also still love Robin." Lily wasn't going to get them back together this is all up to Robin but she really wants to smack them both into reality.

"I don't love Robin anymore okay. We fought and we're divorcing why would you think that I still love her?" Barney now wasn't happy with Lily butting into their relationship again, she always does this and it isn't a good thing for either one of them. Robin wanted that out it wasn't his fault that they were fighting, he was bored and missing being with Robin it was like being married to himself those last few months before the Argentina trip. But, it was her decision she's the one who bailed on their marriage not him. He loved her but knew her career is something very important to her so leaving her in Argentina and getting a divorce wasn't because he wanted to it was to get out of her hair and let her do what she needs to do which was focus on her job. The traveling was destroying their marriage anyway, they barely talk at all during that last week. It was bound to have ended at some point.

"Because you do. I saw how upset you were after you split and I saw you caring for her after her accident. You still care about her." Lily stops and Barney smiles lightly at her.

"Of course I care about her, I never stopped caring about her, she's my best friend I could never stop caring about her Lil. I just stopped forcing something she clearly didn't want anymore. Me." He was so close to breaking down and crying in front of her but he can't do that in public or in front of Lily it's too embarrassing for him to do that right now.

"That isn't true." She informs him with a hand on his arm.

"What's not true?" Barney wasn't sure where Lily's going with this but he doesn't like where it's going at all.

Lily stopped talking looked down and saw a text from Robin telling her she's ready. Lily replies back with a happy face emoji which is the sign that she told her she would use when Lily and Barney's conversation starts to get serious.

"She does love you." A voice said coming behind Barney causing him to bounce off his chair.

"Robin? What are you doing here?" Barney is shocked to see her, he thought this was just going to be him and Lily talking and catching up on things. He didn't expect to see Robin but now he realizes why Lily started talking about Robin and his relationship.

Lily took Robin's sign which was a look to tell her she can leave now. Leaving Robin and alone with Barney so she can talk to him and tell him what she's been wanting to tell him for along time.

"First of all, please sit I need to talk to you." Robin asked Barney and he does as told.

"Second, I want to say that I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything that happened with us. I'm sorry about Argentina, the fighting, the disconnect from our relationship but most of all I'm sorry about not putting more effort into our marriage and relationship. Work was just a way for me to start regretting our marriage but that was then. Now, I realize that you are more important than my job." As Robin talked Barney listened not interrupting her for once, which gave her the signal to continue.

"I tried focusing on my job because I felt like you weren't trying in our relationship. You seemed distant, bored and annoyed most of the time back then that I saw how miserable you were. That's why I ask for the out. It wasn't because I put my job ahead of our relationship I asked for the out cause I thought you weren't happy with me so at the time everything was so crazy that asking for that out was something I thought I could live with doing." She starts to tear up at this moment, looking away from Barney and at the floor.

"But, the trust is I couldn't. I can't live without you. I thought I could go on with my life, I had my blossoming career but truth is when you walked out on me and took that out I regretted it. I regretted ever asking you to leave me alone, I took you on those trips because I didn't want to be alone in a weird country but then everything changed and you..." She starts crying more now and Barney. This is his instant reaction to whenever Robin starts becoming emotional, he pulls her towards him hugging her first softly and then tightly in his arms then gently pets the back of her head while she rests her head on his shoulder. This is something they always did when she was upset about something it always calms her down immediately.

"I left." He finishes whispering in her ear she nods through her still teary eyes.

She lifts her head from his shoulder a minute later and looks at him trying to wipe her eyes and face but he took over taking a handkerchief and dapping her eyes in soft circles. "You left. The minute you walked out that door, you don't know this but I broke down. I was such a mess that I couldn't stay in Argentina any longer so that's why I came back to New York. I missed you so much. Being alone and afraid isn't what I thought I wanted. Yes, I thought I could live and traveling and be on my own but I couldn't. So, when I came back home to New York I went to you, it was the first thing I did when I stepped back on the land I call home. I missed my friends, family and most of all I missed you. Being without you I thought it would be easy for me to let you go but truth is I couldn't." Robin's hold on Barney loosened up and she's now at ease with her emotions.

"Bailing on us again when all I wanted was to be with you forever. Marrying you was the best decision I've ever made and the worst decision of my life was letting you go again." Barney understands more than anything right this minute, she's telling him everything he's been wanting to say to her for months but just couldn't because he didn't know if she still loved him.

"I've been thinking about you a lot lately. I want to try and work on our relationship." He smiles lightly at her and she smiles back thankful that this plan worked.

"So, that's why we're here. I asked Lily to help because I didn't think you would talk to me. So now that I know how you feel." Robin pulls out from her jacket pocket two tickets to Hawaii and places it on the table in front of them.

"I love you Barney. So, the real reason why I asked you here today with Lily's help is because I want to give us, our marriage another try. Sooo." Robin gets up from her seat and kneels down (both knees) in front of Barney taking both of his hands in hers and smiled. "Barney Stinson, will you go with me on this trip to Hawaii?" She smiles brightly hoping he says yes because the next thing he will find out will be that she's going to ask him to marry her again but not until they go to Hawaii.

"Yes. Robin Scherbatsky I will go with you to Hawaii." He stands up taking her with him then kisses her first softly then more passionately.

AN: This will continue to their Hawaii reunion where Robin has a surprise beach wedding reserved for them. It's only them, nobody else and it will be much more intimate and special than their big wedding.
