Hello! I've been watching old episodes of Casualty and have decided to write a fanfic about Lara and Patrick. Basically, Patrick doesn't die and him and Lara get married and have two sons called Rory who is 13 years old and Morgan who is 9 years old. It is going to include characters from series 16 such as Duffy, Dillon, Max and Simon. Simon has a crush on Lara still. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it and please remember to review!

It was 9 o'clock in the Spiller house and the family were getting ready to go out for the day. They had decided the previous night that they were going to go to the zoo for the day as Lara and Patrick had somehow managed to get the same day off which was a rarity.

"Rory, Morgan! Hurry up, we're going in a minute!" Patrick shouted up the stairs in his broad Yorkshire accent. He waited at the bottom of the stairs as he listened to Rory shout back that they would be down in a minute before leaving to go back to the kitchen where Lara was stood making sandwiches. She had decided at last minute to make a hamper to take with them as they didn't know how busy the zoo would be and thought that this might be easier for lunch.

"They said they'll be done in a minute apparently." Patrick said as he walked over to Lara who was busy making some last minute sandwiches to put in the hamper.

"Can you put these back in the fridge please?" Lara asked as she piled up packets of ham and cheese in Patrick's arms whilst she put the sandwiches into the hamper. As Patrick closed the fridge door he smiled as he turned and saw his wife and sneaked up behind her, putting his hands around her waist.

"Does your glamorous assistant get some kind of reward?" Patrick asked playfully as Lara turned to face her husband. As she looked into his eyes she couldn't help but smile and feel happy at the sight of her wonderful husband. She had no idea how she would cope without him as he was her life.

"Well, Mr Spiller, surely you should help your equally glamorous wife voluntarily?" Lara asked as she wrapped her arms around his neck pulling the duo closer together.

"I suppose but surely my assistance is worth a small reward. I mean, it is such a rare occasion for me to make sandwiches." Patrick explained and he couldn't help but grin as he looked at Lara as she knew he was right. Lara had admitted previously that Patrick was a good chef but that when it came to making basic things like sandwiches that he was useless. Lara pulled Patrick in closer and slowly lifted her head, gently placing her lips on his.

"Is that it?" Patrick said as the duo pulled out of the kiss but before Patrick had the opportunity to argue his case Lara turned to him.

"Don't push it Spiller. We have a zoo to get to." Lara said as she untangled herself from Patrick and lifted the hamper into the hall before leaning over the banister and looked up the stairs.

"Boys you need to get down these stairs now otherwise we'll go without you!" Lara shouted up the stairs and suddenly thudding was heard from above as the boys made their way across the landing and down the stairs whilst Lara rummaged around in her bag for the house keys. As she lifted her head she couldn't help but smell the strong scent of aftershave that had filled the hallway.

"Rory, please tell me you have not put your Dad's aftershave on again." Lara asked before turning to face her son. He was stood by the door wearing a shirt and jeans with several buttons of the shirt undone showing his pale chest.

"Rory Gordon Spiller, get yourself into the bathroom and quickly wash off that aftershave and button up. You're 13 not 30." Lara ordered as she watched Rory reluctantly make his way back up the stairs and turn into the bathroom.

"Lara, take it easy. It's meant to be a relaxing day. Besides, he has to do something drastic to get the girls after inheriting your looks." Patrick joked as he stood chuckling by the door.

"Oi! It didn't stop you!" Lara argued back as she helped Morgan to find his other shoe in the cupboard.

"Well, about that. I took pity on you." Patrick said as she walked to the stairs to see if there was any sign of Rory emerging. However, as he was about to call him he felt something hit his arm and when he looked he realised that Lara had hit him jokingly to get one back.

"Shut it Spiller. Get the boys and the hamper into the car whilst I lock up." Lara demanded as Rory made his way down the stairs and followed his Dad and younger brother out the door into the car, Lara following not far behind.
