A/N: Hey! This is my first Chicago PD/Fire story. I have written two Rookie Blue stories & I'm currently in the process of trying to finish one up. RB has been my favorite show for a while and that is what got me hooked on Fan Fiction. But it is only a summer show, so my boyfriend got me hooked on Fire/PD. With the new seasons starting (Fire TONIGHT & PD tomorrow night), I have decided to try my hand at a PD story with some Fire characters making appearances. I am in college and write most of my chapters during classes. I try to type them Tuesday/Thursday/Friday and publish them the same day I type. I am not making any promises because it has taken me a while to finish my RB story (college has gotten in the way) but I will promise to always finish my stories even if it takes me a while. I absolutely love Halstead and want to see him happy so without further ado here is my AU story where he finds love. Hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Chicago P.D. or Chicago Fire.

Chapter 1

Jay Halstead must have had a really rough shift. Gabriella Dawson had poured him almost a half a bottle of scotch over the course of 5 hours. She couldn't get him to admit what was bothering him but she noticed his demeanor change when he noticed the brunette that entered the bar. Gabby walked over and took her order and when she returned with her beer she noticed she too was eyeing Halstead. Gabby knew there was a story there but she didn't think Halstead would be forth coming with info tonight. She took Halstead a coke and asked if he knew the woman because Gabby had never seen her before. Jay just shakes his head, but he gets up and moves towards her. He sits down beside her. "Emmalyn," he says. "Hey, Jay."

"What are you doing here?"

"I moved back to the city. I went by the station to see you, and Antonio said I could probably find you here." Jay just nods. He can feel Gabby watching them and knows she'll ask Antonio later but at this point he doesn't care. He finishes his coke and looks at her. "Wanna get out of here?" he asks her. Emmalyn nods. Halstead signals Gabby and he gives her money for both of their drinks. He guides Emmalyn out of the bar and into the cool night air.

"It's such a nice night out," she says.

"Em… come on."

"What Jay? Can't we just be pleasant and friendly?"

He just looks at her. "Emmalyn are you serious? You left two years ago without so much as an explanation! And you think we can just go back to the way things were? YOU BROKE MY HEART Em." He could see the tears on her cheeks. "Oh Em… don't cry. I just… (sigh) I just had a rough day and I… I don't know how to handle this… plus I've had maybe a little too much alcohol."

"Jay, look, I'm sorry ok. I didn't have a choice when I left. Didn't you get my note?" Jay shook his head no. Emmalyn sighed. "Jay… I was forced under cover. I've spent the last two years going after a dirty cop upstate. I left a note with the commander to give to you explaining everything but I guess he knew I'd tell you everything I wasn't supposed to." Jay wrapped her in a hug. "Em, I'm sorry. I really didn't know." He could feel her nod against his chest. "Come on. You can come home with me and tell me all about this under cover gig you did."

They walked the few blocks to Jay's apartment. They set on the couch most of the night just talking and catching up. Finally at about 3 am Jay carried her to his bed and tucked her in. He could tell she was exhausted and wanted her to get a good night's sleep. He covered up on the couch hoping to get a few hours of sleep before he had to be at work. Sure, he tried to make a go of it with Erin but she shot him and down. She was his partner and he loved her in a way, but not like he loved Emmalyn. He was so damn happy Em was back. She was the one woman he had ever truly loved and given his heart to. When she left two years ago, she took his heart with him and he didn't know if he'd ever see her again. Now he had hope that maybe, just maybe, he'd have someone to come home to at night. With that thought he fell asleep.

A/N: Welcome to the bottom. Please let me know what you think and if I should continue. I have a general idea of where I would take this story but if you think it is better as a one-shot I will leave it as one.
