I took two weeks to make sure this was good enough. I edited it and I figured out where I was going with this story. I still have no clue. We'll find out. I do have a couple of ideas though. If you want to request anything you'd like to see PM me or review and tell me. I hope you enjoy this!

"Come on Erin, just one drink. That's all." Antonio said trying to get her to go out.
"I wanna go home. I have stuff to do, I have to go home to Alex." Nadia laughed
"I'll watch Alex you go out Erin. You deserve a night off." Nadia said
Erin rolled her eyes then looked around the room. "Alright. One drink that's all." Tony Kevin and Adam all looked at each other then nodded their heads.
"Nadia if I come home to a messy house from you and my daughter." Nadia laughed then grabbed her keys and walked to her car. Erin grabbed her jacket and her keys then walked to her car and drove straight to molly's after their long day of work. Tony had dragged her to get out, she hadn't been the same since her ex left her and she just wanted everything to be normal. Her five year old daughter Alex was her whole world.
It was short for Alexandra, Erin didn't want a very girly name or a very boyish name so she chose something in the middle.
"Hey Erin, when did you decide you wanna go out?" Kelly teased. Erin laughed
"Um I don't know. The guys dragged me out. They said I should get out more besides Nadia decided to watch Alex for me." Kelly smiled then walked away towards his girlfriend. Erin sat down at the bar and waited as Otis grabbed her beer for her.
"Thank you Otis." Otis smiled then walked away. Kim walked up and sat next to her smiling big.
"Did you see the new guy come in here?" Kim asked
"No. I just got here. What does he look like?" Erin asked smiling. Kim turned her body around and pointed to him. Erin smiled
"Oh wow." He was tall muscular,blue eyes and light brown hair. He walked closer to the guys and smiled.
"Hey I'm Halstead Jay Halstead." He said shaking Antonio's hand
"Antonio Dawson, this is Kevin Atwater." Kevin shook his hand.
"Adam Ruzek, my fiancee is over there. Her name is Kim." Adam pointed to Kim who was standing next to Erin. They both locked eyes for a few minutes. Erin smiled then looked down.
"Erin."Kim said nudging her elbow against her shoulder.
"Huh?" Erin said smiling
"Do you know him?" Erin noded her head.
"No. I don't. I'm gonna go talk to him. See what he's like." Erin sat there
"Who's the blonde one?" Jay asked
"Her name is Erin, I wouldn't talk to her if I were you." Kevin laughed
"Why? What's she like?" Jay asked as he kept staring at her.
"Kevin is just jealous you are getting a girl before him. Go ask her. She doesn't bite or does she?" Antonio laughed as he pushed Jay towards his friend.
Jay stood in front of her and smiled.
"I'm Jay. Can I buy you a drink?" He asked sitting down next to her. Kim smiled then walked away.
"I'll see you later Erin." Kim said
"Sure.." Erin said
"Where do you work?" Jay asked
"I'm a Detective in Intelligence, my dad I guess you could call him runs it. Those are my friends over there who made me come out. I'm supposed to be at home with my five year old daughter, not out drinking."
"You have a daughter?" Erin nodded her head
"Yeah. I do. She's my whole world, the best thing that's ever happened to me. She saved me."
"Oh wow. I have a nephew who I don't see much. Don't feel bad about not being home with your daughter. You deserve a night off, besides if you didn't come I wouldn't have met the most beautiful woman I've ever seen." Erin blushed and bit her lip.
"Where do you work?" Erin asked
"I am a Detective in Narcotics, but I start in Intelligence tomorrow." Erin's eyes widened and she smiled.
"Ain't that something. You start working in the same unit I am working in." Erin chuckled as she took another sip of her drink.
"I was in the Rangers in the Army. I got out about two years ago.." Jay added
Erin grabbed her purse and put the money down on the bar. "I got the beer. Where are you headed?"
"I'm going home. I have a daughter I have to care for, and I can't let you pay for my drink." Erin spat
"Erin, It's fine. You need the money. I'll pay for the drink. I'm walking you out." Jay ordered
"Thanks for walking me out. I didn't really wanna leave. I just didn't want the guys to see me with you. They tease me about every guy I meet. Oh and if we do anything. Don't be alarmed if they threaten you. They are all like my brothers. It's nothing against you I ju-" Jay leaned in and interrupted her by kissing her. Erin looked up and smiled then kissed him again.
"That's in case we won't get to do it again." Jay smirked
"You wanna come to my house?" Jay asked.
"I don't think I should Jay."
"If not the offer still stands any other day. I'll see you tomorrow. Maybe I can meet your daughter?" Erin laughed
"Maybe. I don't let random men meet her." Jay smiled
"Yet you let those idiots inside?" Erin laughed .
"That's different,they are her uncles. You are a guy I just met."
"I'm a guy who won't hurt you or your daughter, I know what it's like to get your heartbroken Erin. I won't break yours. I can see the hurt in your eyes. I don't care what your ex did to you but just know if we started dating I will protect you."
"Jay I."
"It's fine Erin. I'll see you tomorrow." Erin smiled as she got into her car and drove to her house. She walked in silently so she wouldn't wake up her daughter.
"Erin, she was good. We had a fun time." Erin smiled as she hugged Nadia
"Is it okay if I stay the night?" Nadia asked
"Yeah sure."
Erin woke up the next morning to the sound of her daughter jumping on her bed. "Mommy Mommy!"
"Hey baby girl." Erin yawned and sat up in her bed. Alex sat down on her bed and kissed her mom.
"Mommy, it's winter break. Can I go to work with you?" Alex asked
"Sure kid. Go ask Nadia to get you dressed. Mommy will be up soon." Erin got up and ran into her bathroom she watched as her daughter ran into the living room.
"Nadia, mommy said to tell you to get me ready. Come on Auntie Nadia. Wake up." Alex said pushing her awake.
"Alright I'm up. Come on kiddo. Let's go get you ready ya little monster." Nadia picked her up and started tickling her.
"Auntie Nadia stop it!" Alex shouted. Nadia put her down and pulled out a sweater her jeans and her boots.
"Don't you look just adorable?" Nadia said.
"Alex, you look cute." Erin said bending down and putting her hat and mittens on her tiny head and hands.
"Mommy, where is my daddy? All of my friends at school have daddies but I don't. Lee Henry and Luke have Uncle Hermann. Louie has Uncle Matt. Eva and Diego have Uncle Tony. Why don't I have my daddy?"
"Listen baby girl, your daddy was a very bad person, he was mean to mommy. He is in jail now and you and I." Erin choked back on the tears. She smiled "We are safe because of grandpa. I love you baby girl. I only want what's best for you." Alex wrapped her arms around her mom and hugged her tight.
"I love you mommy. You are my hero." Erin looked up at Nadia who was standing behind her godchild.
"You are lucky." She mouthed off to Erin, who was trying not to cry.
"Alright baby girl. Grab your backpack with your ipad so we can get going. I get to meet my new partner." Erin smirked then laughed.
"Oh what new partner?" Nadia asked smirking.
"I don't know. I haven't met him yet." She put her daughter's jacket on then grabbed her hand.
"You'll meet him later." Erin added walking out of the door. Erin clipped her badge, then buckled her up.
"Mommy, will I ever have a daddy?" Alex asked
"Maybe you will. Maybe if Mommy finds someone who loves her and who I can trust. Your daddy hurt me very badly. I don't think I could ever let someone love me." Erin drove to the district and once she did she got her daughter out and they both walked inside.
"Hey Platt." Alex said
"Hey Little Lindsay! Aren't you supposed to be at school?" Alex laughed
"No. I don't have school. Mommy I'm gonna go up and see Grandpa."
Platt smiled and buzzed her up. "She's getting big Erin. Sooner or Later she's not gonna be your baby anymore. Go on up your new partner is hot." Erin smiled then Platt laughed.
"Don't remind me about Alex. And stop hitting on my partner. Aren't you married or something?"
Platt rolled her eyes then put her glasses back on. Erin ran up and walked up to her unit.
Alex was standing there doing her handshake with her uncle Kevin. Alex laughed then hugged Adam then Antonio. Jay her new partner was standing talking with Hank.
"Mommy Grandpa said he's gonna come see me after he talks to that man."
"Okay baby. Grab your ipad and play on it and leave your uncle's alone."
"Erin it's fine. She's not aggravating. Jordan is coming up in a minute. He's coming to work with me until he goes back to school." Kevin smiled and picked up his niece and held her tight.
"Uncle Kevin, Put me down." Alex shouted
"Nope." Kevin mumbled
Jay walked out of the office holding nothing but a box and his new vest. Jay sat down at the desk and started putting out his photos and everything. He took off the dog tags and put them in the top drawer. Everybody looked around at each other and wondered what that was about
"Were you a soldier?" Al asked
"Yes I was. I was in the Army. Rangers." Jay shot Erin a look and smiled.
"Jay you could have told us you were coming to work in our unit?" Antonio said
"You two know each other?" Antonio shook his head .
"Yeah. We met last night at Molly's. All of us did. Erin had a good time now didn't you?" Erin blushed then walked into the break room and grabbed a cup and filled it up with coffee.
"GRANDPA!" Alex yelled running into his arms. Hank pulled her in tight and held her.
"I missed you so much pal. When are we gonna have movie night kid? We still gotta watch Finding Dory." Alex smiled
"Whenever Mommy lets me come over. I guess. Can I go over tonight? And Mommy for Christmas are we still staying at Grandpa's?" Erin nodded her head.
"If you want to you can. Where the hell is Nadia? She isn't here yet. She's never late." Erin shouted. Kevin looked down and dialed the number
"Hey Nadia, where are you? We have been wondering." Nadia didn't answer the phone. She usually does Kevin thought.
"Maybe she got stuck in traffic or something." Antonio said
Everyone looked at him "What it's possible." He threw his hands up and laughed.
Erin looked at Hank then looked at Kevin.
"Uncle Kevin Jordan is coming up the steps now."
"Hey Detective Halstead." Jordan said waving to the new detective.
"How do you know him J?" Kevin asked Jordan smiled
"He's Shane's dad." Jordan said
