Hello, I've decided to start a new fic, about Tom and Izzie. There is a lack of them on this site, and no matter how long ago it was, it will always be my favourite pairing. So, background information. Imagine Izzie hadn't died, but she had saved Jack's life by twisting the knife from his hand. So here we go : )

Tom was sat on the sofa with a beer, watching the football. Although it didn't seem right without Izzie. She was late getting home, and Tom was starting to feel a little worried.

"Girls?" He yelled upstairs. "You haven't heard from your mum have you?"

"No sorry!" Mika replied.

"Me neither! Why would I talk to her after what she said. I don't care what you two say I am going to marry Donte!" Chlo yelled down the stairs.

"Chlo please for once could you just-" He was interrupted by the phone ringing. Tom ran into the kitchen and grabbed it. "Hello?"

"Mr Clarkson?" An unfamiliar voice greeted him at the end of the phone.

"Yes. Who's speaking?" Tom asked, his stomach in knots.

"I'm Dr Kent from Rochdale ED. I'm afraid your partner as been injured in a fight. It's not too serious, but we would like to keep her in for observation. It sounds as if she saved a mans life, and she wants you and her daughters here."

"Oh my God. Okay. We'll be there as soon as we can. Thank you." Tom hung up the phone. "Girls get down here now!" He ordered, and Mika and Chlo ran downstairs.

"What's up?" Mika asked, fearing the worst.

"Your mum's in hospital, she was in some kind of fight, and wants us there." Seeing the looks on their faces he reassured them. "Oh but don't worry, she's fine. She's just in for observation. Can you go and pack her some things Mika?" Mika nodded and hurried back upstairs. Chlo was stood leaning against the kitchen side, looking shocked. "You okay love?" Tom asked, concerned.

"What if… What if something horrible had happened?" Chlo said, tears falling down her cheeks. "What if the last time I ever saw her we were fighting?"

"Hey come here." Tom pulled her into a hug, stroking her hair. "Why don't you go and help Mika?" Chlo nodded, and went to help her sister. Tom sat down at the table, and sighed with relief. His poor Izzie, thank goodness she was alright. He didn't know how he would have coped if something bad had happened. Realising he'd had a drink, he grabbed the phone and rang for a taxi.

20 minutes later they arrived at the hospital. Rushing through reception, they asked after Izzie.

"She's in cubicles, if you'd like to follow Mac over there?" The receptionist said pointing to a friendly looking man.

"Thank you." Tom said, leading Chlo and Mika over to the man.

"This way." He smiled, directing them through a set of double doors.

"Mum!" Chlo cried, running towards the woman across the room.

"Chlo!" Izzie smiled, pulling her youngest into a tight hug, rocking her gently.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean any of what I said I promise." Izzie just shushed Chlo, and continued rocking her.

"Come here Mika." She smiled, pulling her other daughter into a hug too. "I love you girls so much." She smiled, kissing both their heads.

"Can I have a hug now?" Tom asked, wanting nothing more than to make sure Izzie was ok. Izzie nodded, and released her daughters. Tom knelt down beside her bed, and kissed her gently, before hugging her softly. "Now what's this I hear about you being in a fight?" He teased, only slightly serious.

"Ah. Well, I was quite stupid really, but I couldn't just ignore what I saw." All three of her visitors looked confused. "Okay, I was going to the car and it was quite dark, but I could hear Jack yelling. I walked over, slowly and saw that Jed Seddon bloke, holding a knife out, threatening Jack." Tom's face dropped at the mention of a knife. "Tom don't look at me like that. You telling me you wouldn't have done the same thing? No, didn't think so. Anyway, Jack saw me, but didn't let on that there was anyone behind Jed. I ran forward and grabbed the knife out of his hand, and Jack punched him. Somehow I managed to get knocked to the floor, and I hit my head. But I'm fine, honestly." She finished with a smile.

"So you saved Mr Rimmer's life?" Mika asked, looking quite impressed.

"Pretty much, he's already been in to visit. Bought me those flowers." She gestured towards the bunch of lilies on her table.

"I don't know what I would have done if something had happened to you love." Tom said, shaking his head.

"Oh Tom. I'm sorry." Izzie apologised, reaching for his hand. "I love you so much." Tom smiled, and Chlo and Mika looked at each other.

"Oh my god look over there!" Mika exclaimed, pointing to the door. Standing in the doorway was none other than Lewis Seddon.

"Miss Redpath. Mr Clarkson. I just wanted to say I'm proper sorry for what me uncle did. Thank you for stopping him stabbing Mr Rimmer, and he's in prison now, so maybe I can get on with my life. Anyway, I got these for you." He said, handing over a box of chocolates. "Thanks again, I'll see you later. Chlo, Mika." Nodding at the girls he walked back outside. Izzie Tom Mika and Chlo all looked rather shocked. Nobody spoke for a while.

"Did that just happen?" Tom asked.

"I think Lewis just had a change of ways. Maybe he always was a gooden?" Izzie remarked, shaking her head.

"Mum, me and Chlo are going to go home. We'll see you tomorrow." Mika said, getting up and giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Ok girls, I'll be home tomorrow." She smiled, kissing Chlo too.

"I'm going to stay here tonight. Will you two be alright on your own?" Tom asked, and the girls nodded.

"Bye." Chlo said, heading for the exit.

"So Miss Redpath, have you done enough life saving for one day?" Izzie punched Tom playfully on the arm.

"You don't have to stay." She said, stroking his arm.

"I know, but I want to." He said, sitting on the edge of her bed. "You really scared me today. When the hospital rang and said you'd been in an accident I honestly thought the worst."

"Come here." Izzie said, opening her arms. Tom climbed onto the bed next to her and wrapped her arms around her. "I love you Tom Clarkson. And I cannot wait to become Mrs Clarkson." Izzie whispered into his ear.

"I love you too. Oh I forgot, when we came in I stopped off at the gift shop and bought you this." Tom reached over and gave Izzie a carrier bag. Reaching inside, she pulled out a cuddly rabbit, saying get well soon.

"Thank you." She smiled, kissing him lightly.

"Keep looking!" Tom urged her to continue looking in the bag.

"Oh you beauty!" Izzie exclaimed, pulling out a large bar of Dairy milk. Tom smiled.

"I thought you'd like it!" He remarked, kissing her cheek. "You ok?" He asked seeing her yawn.

"Yeah just really tired." Izzie replied. With this, Tom reached his arm around her shoulder and pulled the blanket over the two of them.

"Well then. Time for bed I think." Tom whispered, and Izzie snuggled down next to him. They stayed like this all night, peacefully asleep in each other's arms.
