Authors note: So this is just an idea that popped into my head, it's going to be a two or three shot, so enjoy! :)

"Izzy's home!" Ed calls from the living room, grinning to himself as he hears his wife practically run out of the kitchen and down the hallway, ripping the door open.

"Hi mama!" Izzy calls from the open car window as her boyfriend pulls into the driveway.

"Hey baby girl!" Sophie calls back as Izzy jumps out of the car as soon as it is put into park, running up the driveway towards her mum.

"I've missed you so much!" She exclaims, throwing her arms around Sophie's neck.

"I've missed you too baby," Sophie replies, hugging Izzy tightly to her. "Ooh, he's even cuter than the pictures, good choice sweetie." She whispers in Izzy's ear, making her giggle, as her boyfriend heads up the driveway with their bags in his hands. "You must be Jesse. It's so good to finally meet you, Izzy's told us so much about you!"

"All good I hope." Jesse teases as he sets the bags down at his feet. "Nice to meet you Mrs Lane." He says, holding out his hand for her to shake.

"Please, call me Sophie," she replies, shaking his hand. "And this is Ed." she says, motioning behind her to Ed, who was hugging Izzy.

"Nice to meet you Sir." Jesse says, holding his hand out to Ed.

"You too, why don't you guys come on in? Clark should be here soon." Ed replies.

"Clark's coming around?" Izzy asks excitedly. Ed laughs at her excitement and nods his head.

"Of course he is. Your mum's making you guys' favourite for dinner."

"Yes!" Izzy exclaims. "You'll love it." She says to Jesse, grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the living room.

"Hey, look who it is!" Clark exclaims as he walks into the kiEchen to find ed, Sophie, Jesse and Izzy sat at the island. "Hey firefly!"

"Hey!" Izzy says, getting up to hug her brother. "I've missed you so much Clark."

"I've missed you too, but right now, I can't really breathe." Clark jokes as Izzy loosens her hold on him.

"Sorry," she giggles. "Oh! Clark, I'd like you to meet Jesse, my boyfriend."

"Hi, nice to meet you." Clark says, shaking Jesse's hand.

"Yeah you too, Izzy's always talking about you."

"Oh yeah?" Clark asks and Jesse nods as they all take a seat again. "Lillie said she'll see you tomorrow Iz, at the picnic, she wasn't feeling too good so I made her stay at home, much to her annoyance, she was really looking forward to seeing you."

"I'll text her later, we'll see each other tomorrow though so that's ok." Izzy replies. "Lillie is Clark's wife, she's pregnant." She explains to Jesse who nods. "How's she doing?" She asks, turning back to her brother.

"Pretty good, she just didn't sleep that well last night that's all." He explains.

"Hey, we've gotta go." Ed says, motioning between him and Clark. "Officer down, all hands on deck." Clark jumps up and grab his jacket. Jesse watches Izzy out of the corner of his eye as he does so, noting how she pales considerably and gulps.

"Be careful, ok?" She says and both Clark and Ed nod and kiss her cheek. Jesse moves closer to his girlfriend, wrapping his arm around her waist as her dad and brother leave the house. "I'll be back in a minute." She whispers, pressing a light kiss to Jesse's cheek before leaving the room. He sighs and walks back over to where Sophie was clearing up.

"She'll be ok." Sophie says as Jesse picks up the tea towel and starts drying the clean dishes. "She'd always get extremely anxious when they had to go to work. When she was younger she'd sit by the front door waiting for Ed to come back and when Clark still lived here but was already an officer, she'd sleep in his bed if he had the night shift so she knew when he got home. I don't really think people often realise how much stress and strain a family can be put under when they have a family member whose a cop. Iz always found it hard and obviously still does. She just worries about everyone, as I'm sure you know." She says and Jesse nods, glancing over his shoulder as Izzy walks back into the room.

"What film are we gonna watch?" Izzy asks Sophie as the three of them walk into the living room.

"How about Grease, we haven't watched that together in a while? You ok with that Jesse?" Sophie replies

"Oh yeah, sure." Jesse says, taking a seat on the sofa. "You ok?" He whispers to Izzy as she settles down beside him, her head resting in his lap.

"Uh huh." Izzy murmurs as he runs his fingers through her curls gently. "They'll be fine, right?"

"Right." Sophie replies for him, taking a seat in the arm chair with the remote.

By half an hour into the movie, Izzy had fallen asleep on Jesse, leaving only him and Sophie watching the movie.

"Hey," Sophie whispers as Ed and Clark return later that evening.

"Hey." Ed says, leaving down to kiss his wife. "How long has Iz been asleep for?"

"Uh...wow, quite a while actually, we've almost watched two movies." Sophie replies.

"I'll carry her upstairs." Clark offers, bending down and lifting his sister into his arms.

"Hmm..." Izzy mumbles, snuggling into Clark's chest. "Clark?"

"Hey Iz." He whispers gently, carrying her up the stairs.

"Hmm, love you." She says sleepily as Clark tucks her into bed.

"I love you too sis." He replies, kissing her forehead. "See you in the morning."

"Um hmm."
