This is the last chapter, I wanted to write more to this story but I think this is a nice way to end this. Robin is happy and that's all that matters now, she and Barney are back together and will remain together for the rest of their lives because this is where they're supposed to be in their lives at this point, content, happy, in love and happy it's all they need and that's each other.

Thanks for reading!


It's done, I'm coming home

With a sigh, Robin put the key in the ignition and pulled out of the drive way. After a half hour sitting in her parked car, after breaking it off with Ted she is finally ready to go home. She feels awful for breaking Ted's heart again but this had to be done or she would have continued to drag her feet and not go through with breaking up with Ted. She knew it would be hard to do, Ted isn't in a great place emotionally right now but it had to be done so they both can be happy. She knows he isn't happy, it's why he's been quiet, sad and talking in his sleep a lot in recent days but she needed to do this to finally let herself be happy, again for the first time in in fourteen years.

Home it's where her heart is, it's where she is supposed to be and where she will forever be in because after so many years and so much time she finally gets to be happy. Happy with her choice, happy with her career, happy with just being friends with Ted, happy with the family she always wanted but was too scared to have at one time in her life. Happy with her love life, after being apart from her true love for so long and her heart shrinking more and more as the years went by thinking that they will never get the chance to be together again. She is finally going home to her real family, her real love, her real life and most of all her new happiness… Because, new is always better.

Barney has always been right about that one saying because it's true. She once told herself that you can't run back to the past just because it's familiar but this, this isn't running back to the past. The running she did to go back to the past was with Ted because it was safe and familiar. But, this isn't running back to the past, it's coming back home to what should have always been her future. The future she always envisioned having, the family she always deep down wanted, the real love that she was once so afraid of having, and the future she will have forever after her dreams died. Her love left her and so did her soul. At that time, time has stop but now the time had started ticking again once she re-found the lost love and the lost years again. She's not heading back to the past she's heading for her future, one that was always a part of her.

"I can't believe you did it, how did he take it?" Was the first thing Barney said to her after she came home and after their make out session had been put on pause.

"Surprisingly, well for someone who's gotten his heart broken again for the millionth time by the same woman. But, all and all pretty well." This was going to make him laugh but it wasn't a time for laughing and rubbing it in his friends face so instead he said.

"Hum, well I'm glad. I know it was hard for you to do what you did but it had to be done." He told her before kissing her neck with a smile on his face and hope for the future.

"Yeah, I know but it's still hard for me to do what I did and not feel a little guilty especially since he lost his true happiness. But, let's not talk about that right now I just missed you and want to um catch up if you know what I mean?" And, he does as he kisses her with passion on her lips.

"So, are you still going to move in with me today or are we going to wait a bit longer to actually do the moving?" Barney asked the next morning as they're eating breakfast.

"Yes, that was the plan. I need your help though, with the move and bringing all my things that I have at the house to here. But, yes I am going to move in today." Robin says smiling over her eggs and toast finally, for the first time happy with the choice she made and where her life is, and where it's heading.

"Great, after I drop off Ellie at school I can meet you for lunch and then later we can go to Ted's to start the move?" He asked standing up from the table and putting his dish in the sink before turning to her again.

"Sounds great, I do have to work to 6 but I'm free to do a late move." Robin, had taken a job in New York five years earlier, when she had returned to the city and ran into Ted. But, the job was stable for her to come back home to New York and ever since then she hadn't done a single over seas report which makes things much easier on her life right now.

"Okay." He tells her giving her a quick kiss before Ellie comes in the room ready for school.

"Oh, Ellie are you ready to leave?" Barney asked his 10 year old daughter hoping she's ready for school so they could get going since they're running a little late this morning.

"Yes. Hi Aunt Robin." Ellie says, saying hi to her aunt who is now officially her step mom but doesn't know that she's moving in with them or that she's going to be her step mom, well real mom since she never had a real mom and doesn't even know who her real mother is and will never know if Barney has a say in it.

"Hi, sweetie have a good day at school. We have a surprise for you later, we need to tell you something very important." Robin mentions that today, after only a year of being together and a few hours of actually being together again after so many years apart that she is about to change this young girls life and with Barney's blessing he allowed her to tell her this news once they can later on today.

"Oh, really yay." Ellie says jumping up and down excited about whatever this news is.

"Okay, Ell we have to go." Barney announces, heading for the door.

"Bye, Ellie." Robin says as Barney gives her a flirty look and a wink before leaving to take Ellie to school.

Yes, her life is finally moving again. She's finally happy and satisfied with where her life is right now and for the first time in along time she feels relieve and ready to spend the rest of her life with Barney and Ellie as the daughter she always wanted but never got to give Barney. Even if she isn't biologically hers, she still thinks of Ellie as her own daughter despite her not looking anything like her since she has blond hair and looks exactly like Barney. Robin, for the first time in her life she's finally content and happy with her life and ready to see what her future holds with the daughter she always wanted and the love of her life. It's true, life is crazy sometimes. It allows you to do whatever you want or go wherever you want and it changes everyday. The ups and downs of life itself in the last decade and half had been one fast to slow roller coaster one that she never wants to get up from and leave ever again.

Ellie's at school see you later for lunch

Barney texts, telling her that he will meet her where they were going to have lunch later on today. With a smile and a happy sigh she texted back.

See you later

After everything they been through together their lives will no doubt be a happy one and for the first time ever Robin Scherbatsky, has nothing else to do but wait until she meets Barney for lunch later since she didn't have anything to do at work this day until later on after lunch.
