Here it is! Sorry it took a bit longer than usual, I've had so much school work to do this week so I haven't really had time to write. I still have ideas for this fic but I'd be grateful if you could review it with some requests? So that I can write more things that you like as well, thank you. I hope you enjoy it x

Black out:

Clara stirred awake as usual but was surprised to see a very smiley Ellie crawl over her face. Ellie wriggled and giggled as she lay on top of her trying to get away from Danny ticking her.

"Good morning to you too!" Clara laughed and joined in with the tickling. Danny lifted Ellie off of Clara and swung her around the room making plane noises. Ellie put her hands out and pretended to fly.

"Down daddy! Down!" He swung her downwards and deepened the noises he made as he placed her back on the floor. She ran off to the other side of the room to play with her toy car, her favourite car at the moment.

"How long have you been up? You should have woken me!" Danny walked back to bed and laid back down on his side. He kissed Clara on the forehead and frowned.

"Nah we've only been up for 20 minutes, she slept in for once!" Clara laughed but then the smile on her face resided more quickly than usual.

"Are you feeling okay? Your head feels quite hot?" He felt her forehead again just to check his observation.

"Yeah I'm fine, just got a bit of a headache that's all. I'll be fine." She reached for Danny's hand and gently kissed it before getting up and out of bed.

Danny made them both a cup of tea and they sat down on the sofa. Ellie was running backwards and forwards as 1 year olds do. Every time she took a slightly different route and always seemed to find something new to look at. It was fascinating to watch her learning about the things around her. Danny always said that she was going to be so much like Clara when she grows up.

"Do you want some breakfast?" Danny got up and slowly walked out of the room with his tea cup.

"Umm... No thanks, I'm not really hungry, I'll have some a bit later." Danny shrugged and went to make his own. It was odd that Clara didn't want breakfast but he thought nothing of it anyway.

A while later they were still sat on the sofa watching Ellie play around. Clara was unusually quiet; she didn't have her normal rosy cheeks either. She leaned forwards to rest her elbows on her knees. She took a deep breath and sighed. Something wasn't right.

"Are you okay?" He spoke gently to her as he rubbed up and down her back as it seemed to be soothing her.

"I don't know?" She paused, allowing Danny to chip in.

"You don't know?" He giggled at her answer and she slightly giggled back.

"I mean I don't feel right, I feel weird..." She looked just as confused as Danny was.

"What? Do you feel ill? Do you feel sick? Or headachy? Faint?" He gave her some options to help her decide.

"Umm my head really hurts and, and I feel a little bit faint but not too much." She leant back to see Danny's face looking increasingly worried. She dug her head into his chest and he hugged her softly. "It's probably nothing, I'm really tired, it's probably just exhaustion." Danny felt her head once more checking for any change.

"Yeah maybe... We'll keep an eye on you anyway. Go back to bed for a bit maybe? Get some sleep while you can, we've got nothing planned for today anyway." He gently caressed her head as she relaxed in his arms.

"Yeah I might do actually, maybe I just need some sleep." She got up using the sofa as support. Danny shot up and helped her stand upright. He took her up to bed and she was asleep almost instantly. Ellie was shouting random words (well if you could call them words, she had become much more vocal in the last few months but the sounds were mainly just noises) from the bottom of the stairs.

"Shhh! Mummy's asleep! C'mon!"

"Ellie shhhh!" She ran away from Danny and into the living room, he giggled at her repeating what he was saying. In the last few weeks she had grown up a lot. She had started to speak more, move more and be a lot more cheeky. Clara had had a lot of marking to do lately with year 12 coursework so Danny had more time with her. He had been teaching her how to be cheeky with her mum. It all proved to be really funny. Not that Clara approved of course...

A few hours later Clara came back downstairs. She looked less perky than before; in fact she looked really pale. Her naturally flushed cheeks and her fiery personality were absent and she looked really sick. She stumbled slightly as she walked towards the kitchen. She desperately hoped that Danny hadn't seen so that he didn't make a fuss over her. She didn't want a fuss no matter how ill she was feeling. To her disappointment he had noticed, he rushed over to help her. She leant on his arm, using him to keep her upright. Her head was spinning and she couldn't focus on anything. Her heart was beating faster and faster every second as she began to panic. It felt like there was a drum banging in her head and she was spinning around the room at the same time. Danny became a blur and Ellie just a faint murmur in the background.

"Danny... Danny." She frantically called his name sounding more and more breathless. He moved round to the front of her so that he could see her face.

"Yeah? I'm here, it's okay, look I'm here." Suddenly the room closed in and everything went black.

She stumbled again before losing all of her balance. Danny managed to catch her before she fell and hurt herself.

"Clara! Clara? Can you hear me!? Clara speak to me honey?" He caressed her face to try and get a reaction from her. She laid there motionless, completely blacked out. "Oh my god, Clara please, wake up!" He began to panic as he reached for his phone. He spoke shakily whilst supporting Clara's head.

"Quick I need an ambulance, it's my girlfriend, she's passed out, I don't know what to do. Please come quickly! She's breathing but she's not moving. I don't know what's wrong just please hurry up, I can't loose her." He kissed her forehead and tried to calm himself down. He had never been this worried in his whole life, he just wanted her to be okay.

When the doorbell rang Danny ran to it as fast as he could.

"Quick! She's this way, please help her, please."

"Do you know why she passed out sir?" Danny put his hands on his forehead and rubbed his face not responding to what had been asked. "Sir?"

"Sorry umm... she felt faint and said that she had a bad headache, that's all I know. She came downstairs from having a nap and she blacked out in my arms. Then I called you."

"Okay we will get her in the ambulance and take her to hospital, would you like to come with us?" The paramedics were calm and collected, the complete opposite of Danny. They decisively asked him questions whilst putting Clara on a stretcher.

"Ahh, umm yes is that okay?"

"Yes that's fine sir, just follow us and we will get you there as quickly as possible."

"Hang on, my daughter, I need to get her." He began to panic again as he ran into the living room.

"Yes that's fine sir, as quickly as you can." He ran and picked up Ellie who began to grizzle and cry at her play time being disturbed.

"Come on Ellie! We've just got to go with your mummy and check that she is okay, then we can come home and play even more! Yeah?" He kissed her on the head and ran out of the door. It was almost as though he was reassuring himself more than he was Ellie.

When they arrived at the hospital they rushed Clara into a room where they checked her breathing and took her for a scan. Danny ran into a corridor in which he could see her through a window. He hugged Ellie tighter, seeking comfort. Why was this happening? What had caused this? Why won't she just wake up? He worked himself up again and started to panic.

"Excuse me! My girlfriend" He said pointing towards the room. "What are they doing? What's happening? Why won't she wake up?"

"Okay sir calm down, she will be fine, trust me, she's in safe hands. Come and sit in the family waiting room and we will keep you updated. The best thing you can do is wait patiently. Is there anyone else you might want to call and ask to come here?" The nurse ushered him towards the small room to the left of them.

"Um yeah, yeah there is, thank you." He stuttered, trying to form a sentence that actually made sense.

The room was painted in bright colours with rainbows and animals all over it. This seemed to please Ellie greatly as she ran inside squealing at the pictures. There were a few sofas, a water fountain and a pile of toys in the corner. Danny passed her some building blocks to keep her occupied while he got himself together. He called Dave and told him to come quickly. When he arrived he explained everything to him, how Clara had been feeling ill and how she suddenly collapsed.

"She's in the room just down the corridor. I don't know if she's awake yet. I don't even know if she's okay, I need to know that she's okay." He buried his head in his hands again and sighed. The whole situation had completely drained him. He didn't know what to think, or what to feel for that matter. Dave patted him on the back to reassure him. He was keeping remarkably calm under the circumstances.

"Look I'm just as worried as you and I need to know that she's okay as well but panicking isn't going to help anything. You getting yourself more worked up than you need to isn't going to help Clara. When she wakes up, which she will, everything is going to be okay. Maybe no news is good news?"

"Yeah... Your right. She will be fine." Now he began to convince himself that everything was going to be okay. It wasn't really helping him calm down but it stopped him from thinking the worst.

A while later a doctor walked into the room. Danny and Dave both shot up from the sofas to hear the news. The doctors face was blank, he showed no emotion. It agitated Danny as he wanted to find out the news as quickly as possible and his face wasn't giving anything away.

"How is she!? Is she awake!?"

"Yes, well, she's resting. We have managed to stabilise her and she's on the road to recovery." Danny let out a sigh of relief. It felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of his shoulders.

"Great! That's good right!? Can we see her?" The doctors face gained expression for the first time since he had entered the room.

"Yes you may, she's sleeping but you can go in. But first, I have a few questions to ask. Just for our details and her safety."

"Okay, what ever you need." Said Dave trying not to sound too relieved.

"Was she feeling okay earlier on today or yesterday?"

"Umm, she was fine yesterday but this morning she said that she had a really bad headache and that she felt faint. She went upstairs around 11 to have a nap thinking that she was just exhausted but when she got down she felt more faint and... that's why we're here now." The doctor finished taking notes and then looked up and smiled.

"Okay that will be all, thank you." He began to get up when Dave stopped him.

"Is that related to what you think happened? Is that why she fainted?"

"We have reason to believe so. It seems like she had a really bad migraine to which her body reacted badly to. This would have caused her to pass out. It's rare but it does happen in some cases such as this one. Has she been under a lot of stress lately? With work or anything?"

"Yeah she's been doing a lot recently." Danny thought to himself, why didn't he tell her to come to bed earlier or limit down the work load? That could have stopped this from happening.

"Ahh okay so it is likely that stress and exhaustion mixed with a migraine just proved to be too much for her body. I suggest that she stays in for the rest of the day, then you take her home and let her rest for a few days, just so that she can make a full recovery." The doctor got up and started to walk out. Dave shook his hand and said thank you and then went over to pick up Ellie.

"Hey you, how you feeling?" Danny poked his head in the door before walking inside. Clara stirred awake and rubbed her eyes to adjust to the brightness of the room. Dave followed in with Ellie in his arms.

"Tired, headachy and... confused. Apart from that I'm fine." They all giggled. Her natural humour had returned along with her rosy cheeks and her fiery personality. Clara's back, thought Danny. "What happened?" Danny moved to lay on the bed next to her so that he could rub her head gently.

"You passed out, do you remember? The doctors said it was a bad migraine mixed with stress and tiredness, nothing that a few restful days can't sort out."

"Oh I remember, I felt reallyyy rough..."

"I know you did, you were really ill Clara." Danny's face dropped as he replayed what had happened in his head. She rubbed his face and spoke to him gently.

"Hey, I know today didn't go well... But I'm fine now, don't worry." He smiled and kissed her on the head. Dave passed over Ellie so that Clara could hold her again. They sat and chatted for a while and then Dave took Ellie home to give them some space. The room was silent for a few minutes and Clara could tell something was up.

"Your quiet? Are you okay?" She turned to see his face clearly.

"When you fainted today I thought I'd lost you. I genuinely thought that I could have lost you. In that split second I panicked and I realised how small and insignificant I would feel without you in my life. It made me realise, more than I already know, how much you mean to me and how much of an impact you have on me... It scared me. I didn't know what to do. In the moment that the doctor said that it was nothing serious I gave the biggest sigh of relief ever and I realised that we were so lucky that it wasn't anything worse... You, basically, saved my life when I met you. I was in a bad place back then. I had almost nothing keeping me going. Before I had the army, the army was my life and I loved it. But when I no longer had that it felt like I had nothing to live for. When I met you, you taught me how to have fun again and how to enjoy what I have. Now I have you and a beautiful daughter. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't have asked me out on that first drink... Or pushed me to start looking at my life more positively... Seeing you so vulnerable today made me think about everything and how I would have gone back to nothing if I had lost you." Clara looked at him, speechless. For the first time in a long while he had opened up to her. She knew that she meant a lot to him but hearing it from his own mouth put it in a different perspective.

"Did you really think that you would get rid of me that easily? I'm here, with you, for the long haul no matter what happens. Danny I love you and I don't know what I would do without you either. Frankly I don't think I would have much to live for. I think we should try to put today behind us and start afresh. After all, passing out on you isn't exactly something that I want to remember..."

"I think that's a good idea. Let's forget about today and start living life like there's no tomorrow."

"That sounds great, our path to being more positive." Clara snugged back down into Danny's toned chest. He placed his arms around her and relaxed for the first time in the day. Life had flashed before both of their eyes but nothing was going to stop them from moving on from it.

So thank you for reading! It's not my best chapter so far... I guess it's okay but it's not very good writing really. Anyway I hope you enjoyed it! I promise to put more about the Doctor and Clara in the next chapter, that's what chapter 7 is going to be about. Please leave a review! Thank you x
