Wow, so many amazing reviews. Sorry for long wait but I've been away from my internet for the past two weeks. Was on a nice long vacation to Disneyworld and Orlando studios. Fun time.

Anyway, thanks to all who reviewed. To the guest who said not to do it early: I am very sorry but I had planned this out to only be a few chapters long.

To Joseon194: congratulations! You're my favorite review for just being the cutest reviewer and act like Teddy bear Mosby. Or maybe you're Barney because I can see both guys trying that as a pick up line.

Oh and Ellie is alive here but she's with Barney's brother James which is why I didn't add her in.

"Ted! She squeezed my hand Ted!" Barney screamed into the phone when Ted picked up. He had to go outside to use the phone so he left Robin holding Tracy's hand urging her to open her eyes.

"Barney? What the hell are…" Ted began and then his best friends words registered into Ted's brain. "Tracy? She's waking up?" He asked anxiously.

"I think so pal. Robin and I came to see her and I took her hand and she squeezed it. You all need to get here now so the first thing she sees is her prince" Barney replied.

"Be right there and thanks so much Barney. You really are the best friend a guy could ask for" he said.

"Yeah! I knew I was your best friend wait till I tell…"

"Marshall is still my best friend as well Barney" Ted interrupted. "Marshall was my first best friend and you became my second best friend just like Lily and Robin are my best friends as well" Ted added.

"Fine…keep denying it for all eternity…just get Luke and Penny and get down here Mosby" Barney replied.

Ted nodded and hung up the phone. He hurried to his kids room and knocked on Luke's door first.

He was told to come in and entered his teenage sons room. "Get your shoes on buddy, Uncle Barney just called and told me Mom is waking up" he said.

"Really? Mom's coming back to us?" Luke asked. "Yeah bud, mom is coming back and we can finally be a family again" Ted answered. His eyes blinked out a few tears of happiness. He'd get Tracy back, the woman of his dreams.

Maybe he did need to see Robin again and give her their horn. It needed to sit on their mantle to be the memory of their love. Ted would always love her and she'd always love him even if it wasn't the same love as before.

Ted hoped when he got Tracy home he could get Barney and Robin back together. The reason he'd helped them get together was because he knew their love was stronger than his and Robin. He only wanted his friends to be happy and he'd keep working at it till Robin and Barney were together again.

Ted left Luke's room and went to Penny. She also let him in and then smiled when she saw her father.

"Did she send you back for nicer clothes for the date?" she asks. Ted shakes his head.

"I got back our blue French horn and went to Robin's house. I couldn't do it though Pen" he told her.

"But dad…"

"I'm not in love with Aunt Robin anymore Penny. I love your mother and I can't love any other woman the way I love Tracy" he interrupts.

"Why didn't you tell me that before then? Why get the horn then and go see Aunt Robin?" Penny asks.

"I didn't steal the horn this time kiddo. The man I stole it from died last year and his son let me have it for a hundred dollars" Ted told her.

Penny slowly understood. "You got the horn so Aunt Robin will never forget you or your special past but you really have moved on" she said.

Ted nods and strokes his daughters hair. "I told you in the story that I gave up Robin just before she married Barney. I will never stop loving Robin Penny but I think after our failed relationship we became more like brother and sister" he said.

Penny gives a nod. "Sorry for assuming dad. I just thought with how you made her that light show and finding her locket…" she said.

Ted gives a smile. "I told you I love her kiddo. But I also love Marshall, Lily and Barney too. I'd do anything for all of them if I could just like I'd do anything for you and your brother" he tells her.

"I guess I did misinterpret your story dad. You did fix Aunt Lily's tire for her and did lick the liberty bell" Penny answers.

"Yeah…I did…I don't regret anything I did either, I think all five of us got to where we are today by hanging onto each other" he said.

"But mom is still in a coma and Aunt Robin and Uncle Barney are still divorced dad, I think only Aunt Lily and Uncle Marshall got the happy ever after"

"Sweetheart the ending only comes when your dead. While you're still alive you can make changes in your life to make your happy ever after" he told her.

Penny's eyes widened. "You mean mom will come back to us?" she asks and Ted nods.

"Luke is probably waiting for us now" he said and Penny jumped up and got her shoes on.

"Well then, come on dad, I waited six years to see my mom again" she urged and Ted nods.

They get to the hospital and Barney greets them. "Come on Teddy Westside, time to put on the old Mosby charm and get your woman" he urged.

Ted laughs but leads the way to Tracy's room. "Sorry Ted, I guess your charm rubbed off on me" Robin tells him.

Tracy smiles when she sees Ted. "Oh Ted, Robin told me I been here for six years…I am so very sorry Ted" she says and begins to cry.

"Don't cry mom" Penny and Luke say together and run to her. "Oh my babies, you've grown up so much" she says as she strokes Luke's cheek and then Penny's.

"It is so good to see you again Mom" Penny says and hugs her tightly.

Barney walks to Robin and takes her hand. "Lets let these guys have their reunion in private" he tells her. She gives a nod and squeezes his hand gently.

When they get outside Barney shuts the door. "How is Ellie doing?" Robin asks.

"She's awesome like her father" Barney answers and Robin chuckles. "She's at James place hanging out with Sadie. Sadie is a hair stylist and said she'd do Ellie for free since she's family" Barney adds.

"Wow, so how is doctor Eli?" Robin asks. "Great, he hasn't killed anyone yet so least that's good" he answers. Robin chuckles again.

"I miss you" she says. "I miss you too" Barney answers. "When Ted appeared with that horn it made me realize I'm not that young anymore Barney"

"You're not that old Robin" Barney points out. "Whether you want to believe it or not Stinson we're in our fifties" she points out and he scoffs.

"Anyway, I don't want to date some strange guy anymore, I want to be with the man who makes everything legendary" she goes on.

"Robin…I can't…" he says and sighs. "I can't and won't give up Ellie, she's only a child still" he adds.

"I never said you had to Barney" Robin cuts in. "I am an aunt now to Marvin, Daisy, Luke, Penny and little Delilah" she adds. "I think I can handle another child"

"But you said you never wanted to be a mom" he points out. She scoffs at him.

"Coming from the man who created Not a fathers day" she points out and he laughs.

"Barney, I learned to conquer all my fears mostly because of you. Ted and Marshall were always like a big brother to me. You're the only one I ever married and you're the only one I want to marry again" she said.

Barney gives a smile but then it dies. "I do love you as well Robin. That speech I gave to Nick was one hundred percent true. You reminded me of how I used to love Shannon only you're ten times better than her. I…"

"You don't want to go through the same marriage as before" Robin answers.

Barney gives a nod. "I'm sorry Robin, I can't go through all that again. I even tried to be who I was before you again but that just got me Ellie. Now I am a single father and I can't keep reliving my painful past, not if its going to hurt my little girl" he tells her.

"Then we won't relive that Barney" Robin says. Barney takes both her hands and squeezes them fondly. "All right then, lets take it slow first and try dating a while" he suggests.

"Okay" she agrees.

"Here I thought I'd have to play matchmaker again" Ted says from the doorway. He had seen them leave and quietly opened the door to eavesdrop.

"Why aren't you with her?" Robin asks. "I will later, I want the kids to go first" Ted answers.

Robin moves from Barney and hugs Ted. "That's just because I know you'd have nagged us to get back together" she whispers. He gives a nod. "You're right, I would have Robin because I can't stand to see you unhappy. Until I die I will do everything in my power to keep my friends happy" he told her.

"Just keep Tracy happy and out of danger Mosby. I can take care of Robin now and this time I won't back down" Barney cut in.

"Good, you keep her happy Barney and keep yourself and Ellie happy too but just know…"

"Yeah I got it Ted, you always had my back and that I am forever grateful for" Barney interrupts.

He gives Ted a quick hug then take Robin's hand again. "Go be with Tracy Ted. I am going to dinner with my beautiful ex wife and hopefully we can rekindle our relationship" he tells Ted.

"You got it pal, have fun and thanks for everything guys" Ted answers and walks back to Tracy.

"Hey there stranger" she greets him. "Hey yourself, I think it may rain this entire week so when you're released I'll keep you dry under my umbrella" he answers.

"You mean my umbrella" Tracy answers. "Nah, its finders keepers lady" Ted says and she scoffs. "You gave it back to me Teddy bear"

"Not on purpose"

"Still, its mine now" Tracy replies.

"I love you Tracy Mosby" Ted says and she smiles. "I love you too Ted and I never want to be away from you again"

"Don't worry, I won't be letting you out of my sight for a long time" he answers and they share a kiss.

"We're going to grab a taxi to Aunt Lily's" Penny tells her parents as Ted climbs into Tracy's bed and holds her gently.

Ted gets out his wallet and gives her and Luke some money. "Call me when you get there" he says and they nod.

Ted closes his eyes when they leave. He was so happy he only gave Robin their horn. Tracy was his soul mate and Robin belonged with Barney. All was finally right in the gangs world.

Now that's how the finale should have gone. Hope you all enjoyed this short tale.
