Robin
Barney's Apartment
He opens the door with a apologetic look on his face, "Robin let me explain."
"No Barney." I say, walking into his apartment.
"You don't know the whole story. I had to..." Barney pleads after me. I turn around to face him.
"Stop. I don't need to hear it."
"Fine. You talk then. Why are you here." He says.
"Barney." I take a deep breath. I'm going to do this. "Tonight was one of the worst nights of my life. And I've had some pretty shitty nights lately. But this one was the worst."
"I'm so sorry Robin." He reaches out and grabs my arm. I look down at his touch and continue.
"No I'm sorry." I walk away from him and sit on the sofa. He sits down next to me. "I started crying Barney. I started crying during the party, in front of everybody. And I was crying because I missed you. It wasn't right without you. Nothing has been right without you. I'm sorry that it has taken me this long to realize, but Barney Stinson i'm in love with you."
"I love you to Robin." He leans in to kiss me, but I stop him.
"I want to be with you. Really with you this time." He leans in next to my ear and I can hear the sound of his breathing.
"I've always wanted you. You belong with me."
"I know." I say and finally let him kiss me.
Barney
In Bed
I heard her heartbeat last night. Felt the way she smiled when she looked at me. Saw the way her eyes danced when I kissed her. Tasted the familiar taste of her mouth. Smelled the ocean in her hair. When I opened my eyes she was still there. It was all real. I watch her move in her sleep. Feel her rub against my chest, and find a spot for her head. I gently run my hand through her hair, trying not to wake her. And in that moment I knew that I wanted this every single day for the rest of my life. I don't want to have to remember the way she feels, I want to relive it, again and again. I want to be with Robin forever.
"Morning." She looks up at my, but doesn't lift her head. "I love waking up to you."
"So do I." I kiss her forehead. "I was thinking we should just lie here forever."
"That sounds good to me. But what about Quinn." Oh yeah she doesn't know.
"She lost the baby."
"Oh my god, Barney I'm so sorry." She wraps her arms around me and I know that she is genuinely sorry. That no matter what Quinn did to keep her away from me it didn't matter, because all Robin wanted was for me to be happy. And thats all I want for her too.
"Thats why I wasn't at your party. I was dropping her off at the airport, but her flight got delayed and I didn't want to leave her and then my phone died so I couldn't call you." Quinn decided that it was a good idea if she left the city for a while. Time to clear her head. She called her mom and found that her mom missed her even more than Quinn thought, so she packed her bags and got on the next flight to Idaho.
"Its okay Barney. It doesn't matter now."
"Well I still feel bad about missing your party." She sits up in bed and leans her back against the head board.
"I know how you can make it up to me." She laughs.
Robin
Pizza Place
After a lot of sex. And I mean a lot. We finally went out to get some food. "Its even better then I remember!" I tell Barney after my fourth slice of the heavenly pizza.
"I told you. This place never gets old. But its even better this time."
"Yeah it is." I say, smiling. "Hey I have to go to the bathroom."
"Okay."
I was washing my hands when he came in. "Barney what are you doing here?"
"I just wanted to make sure you were okay." He probably was remembering last time.
"I'm fine." For once I'm not lying. "Actually I'm amazing."
"Good, then I hope you don't mind when I do this." He said, grabbing me and kissing me. He then gently pushes me against the wall and kisses me again.
I'm finally happy.
YAY, they are together again! So I know you probably think its over, but its not. I kind of need to write the "come home" part because well thats what the story is called. So yeah, i already have big plans for that.
Thanks to everyone who reads this story.
