There is going to be some things from the show that will be included in the story I think it just fits with this story.

Barney and Robin are slowly getting back to finding a rhythm but it's a quick rhythm because they're in love and there isn't going to be any breakups. They're together forever in this, they may or may not be some rushing in the relationship but that's just where they are in this story. Enjoy the ride, I quite like where this is going because B/R are solid and happy together like it should be.


One week has gone by since the gang found out about Barney and Robin's rekindling relationship. Ever since then, things have gone quite well for the couple. Both of course have their individual lives going to work and spending time together. The time and the years spent apart thinking about each other especially in those tough times after they broke up and the time they slept together and thought for a minute that they were going to be parents. Everything they had gone through in the last three years have had them reconnecting and finding themselves fully committed to their relationship. The things that have happened recently are the most important things to talk about so when they both found a good time to talk so Barney had prepared a candlelit dinner for their reunion.

"My lady." Barney smiled pushing out her chair in which she smiled back and sat down in front of the meal he prepared for them.

"I know we've been busy lately but we haven't found the right time to talk about everything that's happened in the last few months." Barney sat opposite to her at the other end of the table and then started the conversation they both knew they had to have.

"I've been thinking a lot about the last six months too and I know I have apologized for the whole Kevin thing but I truly am sorry about the way I handled both you and him. Back then, I really didn't know what to do, I was so confused about everything at the time but I know I hurt you and I can't really take that back but it was always you. You have to know that. It's nice you did this meal for us, everything looks really good." Robin apologizing to him wasn't necessary he's already forgiven her for that. Even if it still stings a little he's put that behind him and moved on from that.

"Water under the bridge, I'm just happy that you didn't do what you did then because you loved him and not me." This is definitely the right time to get all this out in the open from Kevin to them almost being parents and the accident with the helicopter.

Everything that hasn't been talked about in the months that things had been weird and complicated between them.

"You know it wasn't because I didn't love you it was just that my life was a mess and I was scared that if we got back together that things wouldn't work again. And I, just couldn't put myself through that pain of losing you again. When we broke up that first time, you don't know this but I couldn't move on and then thinking that you didn't care about me or our breakup. That killed me, I found myself throwing myself into work and trying to forget but I couldn't... And, then when I thought I was over you Nora came into your life." Barney understands now, after everything he finally realizes that they both really were hurting from their breakup and it only took a life changing almost death experience to make them both realize what they could lose if they actually lose each other.

"I wasn't in love with Nora. I was just trying to find a way to move on from you and you pushing me to her wasn't working. I liked Nora but she isn't you, nobody's going to be you and I knew it for along time I was just not aware of it until I thought I was going to lose you in that helicopter accident." They are both in tears during their main course of their dinner. Talking about all of what's happened with them was great, they both were crazy and stupid thinking that being apart was a good idea.

They finally finished dinner then during desert Barney moved closer to Robin's side of the table. Earlier that day Barney had a phone chat with his father which lead to Barney receiving a ring from his dad. It's not any ring, it's his grandmothers ring. This decision was the easiest and quickest decision he's ever made in his life.

"I just don't want to lose her again she's the one I know it now and I think I've known since I met her." Barney tells Jerry, his voice starts to crack when he says "lose her again" which gets Jerry to speak up again.

"My son's in love, I'm happy for you Barney. I have something for you that you might need, can I come see you this weekend?" Barney didn't respond right away but after a minute of pulling himself back to normal after sobbing through the phone. Jerry let Barney catch his emotions and then Barney tells him that they can meet up.

"Okay, great see you Saturday." They say their goodbyes after setting a time for the following Saturday to meet for lunch while Robin's at work due to having some paper work to catch up on.

That Saturday Barney met his father at a diner near his office it was the first time they've seen each other since their fishing trip last Spring. The conversation they had over the phone was one of the first and only times Barney really opened up to his dad. After meeting him, Jerry had opened his eyes to seeing his life in a whole new light and completely changing his views on his life and the way he's been living and lying to himself about his feelings for Robin.

"It's been a while, how's the family?" Barney says hugging his dad.

It's so great to have a relationship with his real dad it's been a struggle trying to start a relationship since they had been apart for Barney's whole life and didn't know who his real dad is. But, finding out who his real dad is and trying to rebuild a bond with him after all the years they missed as he grew up. Jerry had really changed Barney's life for the better and now everything seems like they always had a relationship with each other and they never were apart for those many years.

"They're great, JJ says hi he really misses his big brother." Jerry informs him taking out his phone to show Barney some newer pictures of the family.

Barney smiles seeing the pictures. They sit down and have a nice meal with a conversation, the very conversation they needed to continue from where they left off over the phone.

"So, as I said over the phone I have something for you that I was actually keeping for JJ to have when he wants to propose to a girl. But since he's still so young and not even ready to date and you are my first born I want to give this to you." Jerry reaches into his pocket and takes out a small red box then places the box on the table. Barney looks at it, in awe of what's in front of him he picks it up and opens it to find a solid diamond white gold ring.

"Wow, you're giving this to me?" Barney asked shocked but he smiles down at the ring in his hand looking at how beautiful this ring is. It actually has Robin's name written all over it in not the literal sense just when he saw this ring he knew it was for Robin's finger and Robin's finger only.

"Yes. It's your grandmothers ring my mothers ring. She's the one who I've been talking with Robin about, she was Canadian and it was this ring that she wore until the day she passed away. I'm sorry you two didn't get to know each other, she would've loved you seeing that you were my first born. And, she would've adored and approved of Robin too." This is the first time they ever talked about Barney's grandmother. His other grandma has always been in his life and they have a great relationship but it was nice to get to know his other grandma even if she's not here to meet him.

"She would've loved Robin no doubt about it just as much as I love her." Barney's in tears again, he can't believe how much his life has changed since Jerry came back into his life.

"I see you truly do love Robin she's a really great girl I also see how good she is for you. She makes you happy." Jerry says smiling brightly at Barney who was nodding his head trying to wipe the ever flowing tears from his eyes.

Barney of course takes the ring and puts it in his pocked then they continue having lunch and catching up. Barney hoped that with this ring in his pocket, Robin will indeed say yes to his proposal and with Jerry's blessing and hope Barney left lunch feeling like he really had been missing something in his life before reconnecting with his dad. Finding him and having Robin feels like a dream that he had been wanting but never knew where to turn, with Jerry and Robin it was a dream come true and now he finally has the family he didn't know existed and real love from both people in his life that made it all feel like he's been living a lie this entire time.


There will be a proposal, there won't be a play but Barney will set something up for Robin to propose to her in the same exact setting as the proposal on the show. That will be as Barney would say "legendary" with no waiting for it any longer. ;)
