Scarlett's Point of View

I was sitting on my bed re-reading for the 10,000 time the letter my birth mom had left with me. I had never met her and all I had was her initials on the letter. No first name and no last name.

Hey Kid,

I don't really know what to write here this is all so strange. I guess I just want you to know for when you are grown up that I did want you and I do love you. I just can't look after you right now. There is too much crap in my life that I don't want you to live with. You deserve a good home and a nice family. I really hope this letter stays with you long enough for you to be able to read it. I don't want you thinking you were abandoned. Anyway kid, know I love you and I didn't leave any records of my name for your own good.

Love your mom for a day

EL.

All I knew apart from what was in the vague letter was that the day after I was born I was left in a hospital in New York. Which is miles away from Chicago, where I assumed my birth mom was from considering I was wrapped in a Chicago jersey. I know this isn't definitive prove but it was all I had.

After I was found inside the hospital doors the police were called. That's when my mom comes into the story. My mom is a cop. Not only that but she is a cop who has a soft spot for babies and kids. My mom works in the SVU department of the NYPD so it is kid of her speciality. Anyway she fell in love with me and a year later I was officially hers.

My mom is pretty cool with me wanting to meet my birth mother. She had even tried to find her but hasn't had much luck. Whoever my birth mother is or was she knew what she was doing. She didn't want me to find her.

Olivia's Point of View

"Scarlett are you ready yet?" I sighed as I knock on my daughter's door.

"Almost." She mumbled in response.

Pushing the door open I see her sitting on her bed reading the same letter she always reads. The one her birth mother left with her.

"Scarlett you are nowhere near ready!" I complained.

Rolling her eyes in annoyance she got off the bed and grabbed her coat.

"There I'm ready now." She smirked.

Not wanting to waste anymore time I left her room with her close behind.

"What time is the flight?" Scarlett questioned as we got into a cab.

"Half 8."I replied.

"Wow we are cutting it fine." She commented.

"I wonder whose fault that is?" I snapped.

"Sorry I took so long….It's just seeing as how we are going to Chicago I thought….." Scarlett began to say but I cut her off.

"Honey I know what the end of that sentence was going to be and I'm sorry but it won't happen. I don't want you coming with me to Chicago thinking you will find your birth mom. We have tried so many times to find her. It's not like you are going to meet her in the street just because you are in Chicago. Please don't go getting your hopes up ok?" I begged.

"I know mom…" Scarlett mumbled in response.

I knew by her reaction she was only half listening to my pleas.

Scarlett's Point of View

Arriving in Chicago we quickly left our bags at the hotel before heading out again. Once we arrived at the station where mom was going to be working I decided to ask her if I could go somewhere else.

"Mom….Do you think I could I don't know go for a walk….or something?" I suggested.

Mom turned around to look at me and I knew instantly what her response was going to be.

"Scarlett there is no way I am letting my 15 year old daughter walk around a strange city on her own. I'm sorry I know you only wanted to come with me to see Chicago but you aren't going off on your own. Maybe after this case we can go for a tour." She replied.

"Then why did you let me come with you?" I complained.

"Because I wasn't going to leave you in New York alone either." She replied.

"Fin is there, I could have stayed there!" I argued.

"Fin isn't a baby sitter Scarlett and I need him at work no looking after you." Mom told me before walking up the stairs and into the Chicago Police Department.

Walking up the stairs to the Intelligence Unit I was dreading the day ahead. Anytime I was at my moms work I was bored. She didn't let me look at the cases and she didn't let me look at the interrogations. All I was allowed to do was go and get their coffees.

"Hey Liv, Hey Scarlett." Rollins greeted as we arrived in the unit.

"Why are you here already?" I asked.

"We arrived yesterday." Amaro answered from behind.

"Liv this is Sergeant Hank Voight and his team." Rollins said as she began the introductions.

"Sorry I'm late I had some car trouble!" Another voice came from behind.

It was a member of Voight's team and as far as I could tell the only female.

"You must be Detective Benson…And you are?" The woman smiled.

"Scarlett I'm her daughter." I replied.

"Well its nice to meet you both. I'm Erin Lindsay." She informed us.

'Erin Lindsay…EL!' I thought to myself.

'There is no way that she could be…..I mean could she be?' I argued inside my head….

Hope you enjoyed, please let me know your thoughts :-)
