Sorry I have not been updating as often! I have been very busy with school and the fact that the sims 4 just came out on the mac isn't helping! Haha:) I will try to keep these chapters coming as often as possible, and as always thank you to everyone for reading my story and saying such nice things! It really means a lot!

Ch.19

When they finally made it down to breakfast it was around 9:00. Robin, Ted and Barney took it upon themselves to wake Marshall and Lily at 8:00 with the extra key Ted and Tracey had to their room. It wasn't enough just to wake them up; they of course needed to think of a funny, creative way to do so. The three kids were sleeping in the king bed, which was separated from Lily and Marshall by the sliding doors. Barney and Robin thought it would be a funny idea if they climbed into bed with Marshall and Lily. There was just enough room for Robin to slip in between them and for Barney to lie on the end next to Marshall. Once they were situated in bed with them, Ted softly shook Marshall on the shoulder. When he finally started to wake up and open his eyes, he immediately saw Barney's face in his. He let out a small scream and pushed Barney completely off the bed. He then turned to face Lily and was surprised again to see Robin. He let out another scream before stumbling backwards out of the bed and falling off on top of Barney. Ted, Barney and Robin could not control their laughter. Lily woke up confused but not scared to see Robin like Marshall was.

"What is going on? Robin why are you in my bed?" Lily said upon awakening.

"We were trying to mess with you and Marshall. It looks like it worked." Robin said through laughter. It was then that Marshall's head popped up from the side of the bed.

"That was not funny guys. I practically just squished Barney to death. I'm like three times his size." Marshall said as he stood up from the floor.

"Oh come on Marshall, you should have seen the look on your face." Ted said as he leant out a hand to help Marshall get up. "You okay Barney?" Ted looked down to see Barney sprawled out on the floor.

"Barely. That was not part of the plan." Barney said through gritted teeth as he shook off the pain of Marshall landing on him. Ted helped Barney get up before letting Marshall and Lily know what they were actually doing.

"You guys are the last ones up. We are going to get some breakfast so as soon as you guys are ready let us know and we can leave."

"Okay, please leave so we can get dressed." Lily said, remembering all too well how intrusive her friends were.

When they finally made it to breakfast they decided on an outdoor breakfast buffet. During breakfast they discussed what they would do for the day. They decided on hanging by the pool and beach. They had all week to do excursions and figured they might as well explore the resort before venturing out too far.

"So everyone is okay with that? Just a relaxing day by the pool?" Tracey said to the gang at the table. They all nodded in agreement while eating their amazing breakfast. "Okay good, so after breakfast we can all get changed and ready for the day."

The gang continued to eat their breakfast and enjoyed every bite of it. Ellie must have been hungry because she ate almost as much as Marvin who was a 12 year old boy. Once they all finished up everyone headed back to their respective rooms to change into their bathing suits. Robin helped Ellie change into hers and had to admit, she had never seen anything cuter than Ellie in her little bathing suit, and she had never seen anything hotter than Barney in his. Barney walked out of the bathroom in just his bathing suit, showing off his toned body. He was holding a bottle of sunscreen, prepared to put some on Ellie.

"Ellie, baby come here. I need to put some sunscreen on you." Barney said as he walked towards Ellie.

"No, I don't like it." Ellie said, refusing to go to Barney.

"Yeah but you need it. Do you want to get sunburned?" Barney kneeled down to Ellie's height and opened to sunblock. Ellie saw him do this and freaked out. She screamed really loud and ran from Barney. "Ellie, were not playing games today, let me put this on you." Barney stood up and walked towards Ellie again. This time she screamed but she didn't run. Barney started to put sunscreen on her arms and Ellie tried to pull her arms away, crying. "Ellie, I'm serious calm down. You need to put sunscreen on. If you don't you will sit in this room all day by yourself while all of your cousins are swimming in the pool. Is that what you want?" Ellie shook her head and put her arms out to Barney. "There we go, good girl." Barney lathered Ellie in sunblock before throwing the bottle in a bag he was packing to bring down to the pool. It had towels, snacks and clothes to change into, along with some pool toys for Ellie.

"Barney do you need some sunblock? You're going to get fried." Robin said as she looked at Barney's white skin.

"I'm going to lay out for a little bit but once we get down there I will put some on."

"Okay, and don't forget, you need to get braids today." Robin said smiling.

"Believe me, I didn't forget." Barney said mockingly annoyed. When Barney, Ellie and Robin where ready they made there way down to the pool. Marshall and Lily were there with their kids already but Ted and Tracey were not. Robin and Barney claimed lounge chairs next to Marshall and Lily. Ellie immediately wanted to go in the pool.

"Pool!" Ellie yelled as she ran up to Barney.

"Okay, you need your vest though." Barney dug through his bag and pulled out a life vest for Ellie. He strapped her in and sent her on her way to go swimming with Marvin, Daisy and Aubrey. Aubrey was also wearing a life vest because she could not swim. Soon just Marshall, Lily, Barney and Robin were left to themselves.

"So, how have you two been? Was it like picking up where you left off or does this feel new to you?" Lily asked Barney and Robin.

"Honestly, it's a little of both. When Barney and I are together its like nothing has changed. I feel like I am a kid again with the love of my life, but on the same token, it all feels new. Barney's a dad now so there is a different dynamic to everything. But I really love that side of him." Robin said as she turned to look at Barney. She reached out for his hand and gave him a big smile.

"I agree. Things are obviously different but I feel like I did when I was 35, falling in love with her."

"Awe you guys are so cute. And I can only imagine all the crazy places you have been doing it, making up for lost time and stuff." Marshall said with a huge grin on his face. Barney and Robin just looked at each other with a small smile and a non-convincing laugh. Marshall caught on and immediately started to question them. "Wait, what was that look? You guys have been having crazy sex right? That's just what you two do, it's like your thing, especially Barney."

"Actually, we haven't really slept together since we got back together." Robin said, seemingly ashamed.

"What? You have been together for weeks now, how have you not slept together?"

"Well it's hard to do when every time we are together we have Ellie with us. I love her more than anything, she is my daughter, but she kind of gets in the way of things. Plus Robin has to leave for work by 10:30 every night so even when Ellie is sleeping Robin is working. It just doesn't work to well." Barney explained. At this point Ted and Tracey walked into the pool area with the kids. Penny and Luke immediately went to the pool, Luke with his swimmies on, and Ted and Tracey settled into lounge chairs.

"Hey, whatcha talking about?" Ted asked as he took off his shirt to lay out.

"Barney and Robin haven't slept together since they got back together. That's like, unheard of." Marshall said, filling in Ted and Tracey of what they missed.

"Wow, that must be hard for you Barney. You have sex on a regular basis." Ted said laughing.

"Well not recently. The last time I had sex was a little more than a year ago. You guys remember Angie right?" Barney said, referencing the only woman he had been with since Ellie was born. The whole gang nodded their head except for Robin.

"Who is Angie?" Robin asked.

"Oh she was just someone I dated for about a year after Ellie was born. Ellie had just turned two when we started dating and we broke up right before she turned three." Barney explained.

"How come I haven't heard of Angie before?" Robin asked somewhat offended.

"Its just not something that I thought you would want to know about. What does it matter anyway, it didn't work out and I haven't talked to her in over a year."

"I just find it strange that you didn't tell me, that's all."

"Just drop it Robin, okay. Its over with now, I'm with you and I couldn't be happier." Robin decided to let the whole Angie thing go but she couldn't help but feel there was more to the story. There was an awkward silence amongst the group but it was broken by Lily.

"Well, if you guys want a night alone to 'consummate' your relationship then we can take Ellie tonight. They have an arcade that we were going to take the kids to. We can take Ellie with us." Lily offered.

"Lily that would be awesome. Thank you!" Barney said, he then turned to Robin and shrugged his eyebrows, "I guess that means I have you all to myself tonight. This is going to be legen-wait for it-dary, legendary!" Robin and Barney just smiled at each other as they looked forward to the night to come.
