As promised before here is Swarkles friendship. I hope I didn't make Barney OOC last chapter. In my opinion I think he'd be okay with Ted and Robin. Ted did support Barney and Robin and urged them to get together. Plus it has been fourteen years now and I think Barney would rather his ex be in safe hands then some random stranger.

That's just my opinion. Now onto the story. I seen finale like twenty times now and I think Ell was born in 2020 right? That makes her ten here, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Oh I am pretending Frozen came out in 2030. It's such a good movie and I think Ellie would love it.

Barney waited ten minutes after Ted left. He then went to Ellie's room and told her to put a nice dress on.

"We're going to visit Aunt Robin Ell so put on that nice dress she brought you for a month ago" he tells her.

"Okay daddy" Ellie agrees. A few minutes she walk out wearing her cute pink dress. Her hair is a ponytail with a matching pink bow. Barney smiled at his beautiful ten year old daughter.

"You look so pretty Ell" he coos. She gives him a sweet smile back. "Thank you daddy, I love Aunt Robin and Aunt Lily, they treat me like I'm their daughter" Ellie answers.

Ellie didn't know Barney and Robin were married once. She didn't even know who her real mom was. The woman Barney banged decided she didn't want a baby and gave up full custody to Barney two months after Ellie was born.

Barney spent the next ten years as a caring father and spent all his time and money spoiling his princess. Barney hadn't been totally alone and Robin had been a major help when Ellie was older.

Barney missed her a lot and it hurt a little that Ted had went back to her. He didn't blame his best friend and brother though. Ted had lost his first and only wife six years ago and Barney knew it'd be cruel to yell at him for wanting to be with his ex.

Barney had marveled that Ted had come clean and he realized now that was his mistake. He wished he had come clean about his accidental fling and maybe then neither would have gotten into their accidents. But Barney couldn't dwell on the past. He had made a lot of bad choices in life along his legendary ones and he was happy that he least had a girl in his life now that would never leave him.

Ellie took his hand then. "Stop daydreaming daddy and lets go see Auntie Robin" she said to him.

Barney gave a nod and they walked out the door. He locked the door and the two walked to Barney's car and drove to Robin's.

"Barney? Ellie? What are you two doing here?"

"What? Too busy making out with Ted to talk to your best friend and his daughter?" Barney questioned.

"You know?"

Barney gave a nod. Robin gives a sigh. "Okay, since Ted decided he wants you to know then I think all three of us need to discuss this again" she says.

Barney gives a nod but doesn't step back. "Is he here?" he asks. Robin shakes her head. "He called me a minute ago and said he had to run an errand first but now he's home and he'll be back in a couple of hours so all four of us can go to dinner" she answers.

"Okay, that gives us time to chat alone then" Barney answers.

Robin gives a nod. "Ellie, why don't you go lay on my bed and watch a movie?" she asks the child.

"What movie?" Ellie asks. Robin walks away and comes back a minute later with a movie.

"Oh my gosh! That movie just came out on DVD yesterday!" Ellie freaks and Robin chuckles. "Yeah" she says and hands her the video. "Thank you so much Auntie Robin" Ellie shrieks and runs off with her treasure.

"You didn't buy that for her did you?" Barney asks. Robin gives a small shrug in reply. "I saw it in theaters with Ted and I kinda liked it" she admits and Barney chuckles.

"So? Trying again with Mosby huh?"

"Does it bother you? I don't want to hurt you Barney" Robin asks and he shakes his head.

"We divorced fourteen years ago Robin" he points out. He takes her hand and leads her to the couch. "I decided I will keep my vow though. I still love you Robin and I know Ellie loves you too"

"Everyone loves me apparently" she murmurs. Barney then realizes what the truth.

"It's the children" he murmurs. Robin gives a nod. "Ted didn't tell you it was Penny and Luke's idea?" she asked.

Barney shakes his head. "We only chatted a few minutes. He came clean about coming to you last night and then we ended up chatting a little about our wedding and Tracy" he says.

Robin gives a nod. "What exactly did he say?" she asks and Barney relays the entire conversation.

"Oh god…Barney I'm sorry…Ted…" she stammers and Barney gives her a warm smile.

"It's all right Robin, I kept freaking out too and Marshall and Lily had to pull me back in from a window" he said.

"I guess its why you have your best friends at a wedding" she says and he gives a nod. "The five of us sure been through a lot but we always stuck it all out together, least in the major things" he says.

"So you're not upset I'm with Ted again?" she asks.

Barney shakes his head. "I won't lie and say it doesn't hurt a little but I am not angry and I won't interfere or ruin our friendship" he says.

"Thank you" she says and he gives her a hug.

"Besides, I think now that Luke and Penny are teenagers they must be tired of Ted being so clingy to them. I love those two and Ted and I want them all to be happy"

"You deserve to be happy too" Robin points out. "I am happy Robin, Ellie is still my princess and so least I got her" Barney answers.

Robin takes his hand. "You always have me too Barney" she says. Barney nods and they share another hug.

When they pull back he gazes deep into her eyes. "Hey, if this…" he says and stops.

She gives a nod in understanding. "Yeah…" she murmurs as she stares into his baby blue eyes. She remembers just then when they danced at Punchy's wedding. She ended up staring in his eyes in the end and found them so pretty and mesmerizing.

She leans in then and gives a small kiss on his lips. He is taken back but it felt nice to kiss her again after all this time and kisses her back.

Okay so much for Swarkles friendship. But then that's the fun of a story anything can happen. This is far from over so I guess you'll just have to see what happens next. Hope you enjoyed and nice reviews are always welcome. In fact I'll give a cookie if you do review nicely
