Ch. 20

After a long day at the pool, beach, and hair braiding stand on the beach, the gang headed back to their respective rooms to get ready for dinner. Once Barney, Robin and Ellie got back to the room, Barney realized how sandy Ellie was. He quickly drew a bath for Ellie so she could wash up.

"Ellie, its bath time. Come in here." Barney yelled from the bathroom. A couple seconds later Ellie came running into the bathroom with her blonde curls bouncing and a huge smile on her face. She may have been one of the few toddlers who enjoyed taking baths. He picked up Ellie and placed her into the bathtub after taking her bathing suit off. He sat on the edge of the Jacuzzi tub with his legs in the water as he poured water over Ellie's head and scrubbed shampoo into her hair. Robin came into the bathroom a few minutes later, still in her bathing suit, carrying hers, Barney's and Ellie's towels from earlier in the day.

"What's going on in here? You didn't invite me to the party?" Robin said as she entered the bathroom.

"I don't know if I would call this a party, but you're more than welcome to join." Barney said, scootching over so Robin could sit next to him. She placed her legs in the water as she sat down next to Barney.

"So did you have fun today Ellie?" Robin asked.

"Yeah! I like the beach."

"I can tell, you have sand everywhere." Robin said as she wiped some of the sand off of Ellie's face. Barney then turned on the water to rinse Ellie's hair. As he rinsed he noticed Robin staring at him. He looked over at her before asking 'What?'

"Nothing, its just I think your new hairstyle really suits you." Robin said through giggles. "What do you think Ellie? Do you like your daddy's hair?"

"Yeah!" Ellie said laughing.

"Ha-ha, very funny. Quit mocking me Scherbatsky. You'll get yours, you just wait and see." Barney said with a grin.

"I'll get mine? What are you going to do, chop all my hair off?" Robin joked.

"Oh you think you're funny? Well take this." Barney started spraying Robin with the faucet. She just shrieked and froze solid while Barney and Ellie laughed at her. "How do you like that Scherbatsky!"

"What the hell man! Not funny." Robin said, wiping the water off of her face.

"Really, cause' I think its hilarious!" Barney said with an evil laugh.

"Oh yeah, how funny is it now?" Robin said as she reached into the bathtub and splashed Barney with a huge amount of water. Ellie then stood in the bathtub and started kicking water at Barney and Robin who just laughed and tried to take cover.

"WATER FIGHT!" Barney said as he took the bath faucet and started spraying Robin some more. Ellie continued to laugh and kick while Robin kept reaching into the tub to splash. When she realized her method was not nearly as effective as Barney's, she stood from the tub and went up behind Barney, ready to push him into the tub. Instead she slipped on the wet floor and reached out to Barney for support. She accidentally pulled him back and he fell back off of the edge of the tub and tumbled onto the floor with Robin. The both of them just lay their laughing as the bathroom continued to get soaked.

"God, we sure made a mess." Barney said as he looked over at Robin.

"No sir, you sure made a mess. I didn't start this."

"You started this when you made me get my hair braided so in your face!" Barney said through a laughing fit. As they both lay their laughing Barney rolled over to face Robin completely and gave her a forgiving kiss. "I love you Robin, now help me clean this up." Barney said as he started to stand from the floor.

"Oh real smooth Barney. I'm going to help but its not because I love you or you love me, its because I don't want little Ellie slipping on the mess you made." Robin said as she went to the cabinet to get some towels. Barney got Ellie out of the bathtub and wrapped a clean towel around her. He then grabbed another one that he used to dry the floor. As much fun as he just had with Robin and Ellie in the Jacuzzi tub, Barney was pretty sure it wouldn't compare to the fun just he and Robin would have that night in the Jacuzzi tub. It was going to be 100% awesome and he knew it.
