I originally wanted to do something different than what I did for the proposal but I thought this would be simple and sweet. I loved the idea of a post-it kind of proposal but I feel this one is a better fit for the story. There will be some post-it stuff coming up, that tradition hasn't stopped yet it only stopped for the proposal.

In a moment like this very moment right now the world around him was completely unknown. Everything around him seemed to come to a stop when Robin came through the roofs door looking beautiful, decked out in a low cut red gown. Her long brown hair is sweeping her shoulder looking shiny in the midnight air, the stress light is making her face and hair glow making her look even more beautiful if that's even possible.

Barney was standing off to the side of the building out of sight of Robin's eye. Robin first sees lights all around the edges of the rooftop then sees roses scattered all over the rooftop floor with candles lit around them. She looks to her left and sees Patrice standing off to the side smiling at her. She wonders what this scene is all about but then Barney comes out from the side of the building and taps Robin on the shoulder spinning her around to see who it is that just tapped her shoulder.

"Barney?" She says confused about what this scene and Barney's presence is doing here.

"Robin Scherbatsky..." He starts smiling at a bewildered Robin.

"What's going on?" She asks looking from Barney to Patrice then back at Patrice.

"Just listen to him Robin." Patrice shouts from the opposite side of the building where Barney was hiding earlier. "I'm going to go." Patrice mouths a "Congratulations at Barney then leaves the roof leaving the couple alone.

"When I first met you, I was very lost. I was searching for something. Searching and looking, but at that time I was so unaware of the things I want. Until, I met you and meeting you changed my life for the better. I used to think I was too messed up to ever commit to anything or anyone. But, you changed that for me in many ways, I can't be more grateful to have found you. Someone who loves me more than I love myself, you are the amazing woman I've ever met and there is only one person in my life I was ever willing to commit to. I've never loved marriage, I've never been a fan of being with someone for the rest of my days but with you... It's different, it's something I never knew I could do without the help of falling in love with you. I never thought I could do a relationship, I'm not good at it but when I started falling for you, I put myself to the ultimate challenge. That's when we started dating. When we broke, I didn't realize it then and I tried telling myself it wasn't going to happen again, I tried not being in love with you but I couldn't. I pretended for along time that I wasn't in love with you and it nearly killed me." Barney's hand is lingering in his pocket as he talks and Robin is starting to cry because she knows where this is going.

"When you were in that horrific helicopter accident I pictured my life without you and that's when it hit me. I can never lose you, seeing you on the news landing that helicopter took all the guts I never had when it comes to life situations. But, it was then, that I had to reevaluate my life's decisions and never lose the only person in my life that matters the most to me." Barney takes his hand out of his pocket with the small box with the ring inside.

"Almost losing my best friend, the only person I ever truly love made me understand what we had given up when we broke up. I almost lost you forever, I truly with all my heart can't do that anymore. I can't let you go ever again and it was that accident that woke me up to realizing I never stopped loving you and I never want to ever again. I love you so much that it at one point scared the shit out of me but now the thing that scares me the most is the thought of losing you." He pauses to open the ring box in his hand.

"I love you, so Robin Scherbatsky will you marry me?" It took a little while for her to fully understand what Barney was doing and with the little amount of time they had since getting back together, she thought it was a bit too soon, at first. But, then it hits her. The words Barney is saying to her couldn't be more true, losing him, the thought of losing him again is the most awful scariest thing ever.

She thought the most scary thing was being with Barney out of fear that if they ever tried again it will blow up in their faces and that's why she made those bad choices ever since they broke up that first time which hopefully is the last time they ever stay apart from one another.

With Barney down on one knee she couldn't believe it. Getting back together was the right thing to do and she doesn't want to ever lose the love of her life again. She realizes now that her life without Barney isn't the life she wants to have.

"Yes." It's a simple answer, a 3 letter word that she would only say to one person and at one point actually considered before they broke up.

She was going to add more to that yes but by then his lips were on hers and it felt like she, for the first time in along time can finally breath again. They kissed for quite a bit before breaking the kiss in which he started to talk again.

"I love you." He says again after they broke the kiss.

"I love you too, so much." They kiss again and then they walk over to the edge of the rooftop looking out into the nights sky.

They hold each other at the edge of the roof he kissed her on the nose then both were quiet for a little while before she starts talking again.

"So, how are we going to tell everyone?" She turns around in his arms, his arms are still lying on her waist, she looks into his eyes and he smiles back thinking about how much time they had missed out on in the last three years.

"Well, my father and of course Patrice knows already."

"Your father knows already?"

"Yeah, you know the ring you're now wearing?"

She shakes her head with a smile then looks at the new shiny engagement ring on her finger.

"That's my grandmothers ring. Jerry's mothers ring, he gave that to me last week when I saw him for lunch. I told him about my plans on proposing to you and he told me about this ring." He takes her left hand with the ring on it and brushes his finger over it. "He said that this ring is his mothers ring, my grandmother, the one you talked about with Jerry when you two were secretly getting to know each other better. "This ring is special to him. My grandmother would've loved you, and because you're Canadian you two would've talked a lot about Canada much to my liking." She roles her eyes but there's a sincere glow to them when she looks at him it always makes his heartbeat faster every time she looks at him like this.

"I wish you met her, I wish I met her but this ring is special to me because she would've loved to have seen me get married someday and for the special woman in my life to have her ring. To keep it in the family." Robin's in tears again, she knows enough about Barney's grandmother to know that she would have adored her grandson just as much as she does.

Franny was a great, strong, independent woman who raised four amazing kids and has five grandchildren. Franny loved adventures, traveling, had a good long career and was a dedicated wife and mother. Yeah, Robin and Franny would've became besties it's quite lovely of picture to think about.

"The gang, let's tell them tomorrow. I want you all to myself tonight." They were out of there before she could say anything more.
