Barney and Robin decided to look at both homes. The one in Brooklyn was first because it was closer to their jobs and is still in the city. This home was their first choice, and well Robin's only choice since her job keeps her closer to the city in order to traveling back and forth for work. Barney, he had started a new job two days prior to seeing the place in Brooklyn and it was sudden. So sudden that he had to meet with the CEO of this company right that day. It came so quickly, so he dropped everything he was doing, took Bae to James and Tom's apartment who live in The Bronx, called Robin and told her about this interview. He hadn't been looking for a job since he left GNB and wasn't thinking about working again since he's been a father and loves every minute he has with Baelie. His old boss Arthur Hobbs who recommended him which put any moving plans on hold. Barney decided to go to this interview and after the CEO of this new company welcomed him to it with open arms and a very pleased smile. This new job would be in the city, so the Brooklyn house would be closer to the downtown offices of this new job.

This also threw Robin for a loop, she was so happy about moving to a bigger place. When Barney told her about this job opportunity without talking to her right away it caused a fight between them. The first fight they had as a married couple. This sudden move was also tough decision for both Barney and Robin's work schedules. Even though Barney hasn't worked in over 3 years. he was wanted to take this job to make more money for his family. Robin's job was great and she made a lot of money but if they have two incomes they can open up a college fund for Baelie and have more money for their retirement plans. Being a stay at home dad was great but making more money for his daughter is amazing.

"I know this is such a sudden decision to make without talking to you first but Mr. Douglas really wants me to take on this co-executive position. This would mean more money for Baelie, a retirement plan for the both of us and we can still buy another home. The commute from Brooklyn isn't a hassle and we can make this work. With Baelie going to school soon we can work full time and still spend time as a family. I know this is tough on you because you would have to change your schedule a bit but this is a really big opportunity for me. I love being home with Baelie but this new job would help all of us." Barney hoped that Robin would be understanding and put the idea of moving off for at least a week because this is something that will help the both of them and Baeley's future.

"I guess this is a good opportunity for us. Baelie is going to go to school next year, we can get a baby sitter but I was really looking forward to moving." Robin was happy about Barney's new job but hated putting the move on hold. She was so excited to see these two homes.

"We can still go see the house in Brooklyn and still move there. But, the house in Westchester is too far of a commute. I would like to start interviewing people to take care of Baelie as soon as possible so what I did was put an ad in the paper and online. Hopefully we'll get some interviews soon. But, what do you think about my new job? I know it's out of the blue but it will be good for us." Robin listened to what Barney had to say and realized that he's right. The house hunting can wait but because she already put a down payment on the Brooklyn home she had to call the agent and tell her to hold the house for another week while they rearrange their lives.


Over the following weekend Robin met up with Lily for some girl time and Robin told her about Barney's new job. Lily was instantly excited and happy for Barney but questioned if it's the right thing for him to go back to work when he just told Marshall that he didn't want to work again at all. Staying home with Bae was the best thing for him and spending time with his daughter was the most special times he's ever had in his life.

"I know, Barney loves being a stay at home dad but this is a good thing for us. We can make two incomes and start a college fund for Bae but most of all he can work at home over the weekends." Robin gave her friend a happy proud smile but underneath that smile she was thinking about something else which caused Lily to ask...

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Robin waved her hand and sipped on the coffee she was holding while looking down sadly.

"I know that look, something is wrong. What's up Robin?" Lily knows her so well, it's always been annoying to her but it's nice to have someone know her that well except for Barney of course.

"It's just... I'm happy for Barney but he doesn't seem all that happy about taking the job. I mean it was so sudden that he just jumped at the change when he didn't want to go back to work at all. He told me at Bae's birthday party that he didn't want to go back to work because he was perfectly fine staying home every day with Bae while I work. He even said to me the day Bae was born that he doesn't ever want to work again and will stay home while I'm working. I'm concerned that he's taking this job without thinking about it first." Barney has always been this way, he takes on a challenge and doesn't think about the consequences. But, that's one of the reasons she loves him, he's so spontaneous about life and when he decides to do something out of the blue like this it worries her. She thinks it's a bit too quickly, that he took the job and didn't think about it before taking it.

"Why? He told me last week that he would go back to work if the timing is right. He said he loves being home with Baelie but if an opportunity comes up for a job he would take it to make more money for both of you." Lily had found out from Marshall that Barney has been thinking about looking for a job but while he loves Baelie and being around her all day and night he wants to make some extra money for the both of them.

"He said this to me too Lil but with trying to move out of the city. I think it's a bit too soon." Robin had decided after sometime before this sudden job for Barney came up out of no where that she will take sometime off from work to deal with moving and she just asked her boss for a pay raise for lesser hours. Robin had just been asked to take over in the network offices instead of being an anchor. This would mean lesser hours and more money for her and her family. She only took this position because it meant making more money so that Barney didn't have to go back to work at all.

"I also just took another job at the station to make more money for us. Barney's doesn't need to go back to work because I can make enough to support all of us." Lily understood Robin's concerns but Barney making an extra income is great for their little family so she says to Robin.

"Just talk to him about you concerns he will listen. Here's what I would say: Hey, Barney can we talk for a moment about your new job? You will sit down and tell him your concerns, but I really think this is a great thing for you, him and Baelie." Robin goes home later and talks to Barney telling him her concerns he ends up still taking the job.

Barney and Robin later the next week go to look at the Brownstone in Brooklyn and they end up buying it that day. They move in the next day, Barney takes the new job to support his family and Robin still works but lesser hours than she did before she was an anchor. They are both happy and ready for a new start. Baelie gets a new babysitter who takes care of her when they are both working. This move was the best for their family and mostly for Baelie because she already loves the backyard.
