Ok so this is a story that had been in my head since I started watching the show a few weeks ago. Erin had a daughter when she was a 14 before Voight took her in and she gave her daughter up for adoption. However 19 years later her daughter turns up as a uniform at Chicago PD. Hope you enjoy :-) No copyright Intended!

Erin Lindsay's Point of View

I was sitting at my desk when Voight walked in. "Lindsay I need a word with you." He said as he led me to his office. "What's up?" I asked as he closed the door behind us. "There is a new uniform downstairs, she's 19 and looks a hell of a lot like you." He stated. "Ok? What has this got to do with me?" I asked confused. However realisation hit me like a brick as I registered what Voight was trying to tell me. "My daughter?" I gasped. Voight nodded in response.

"You sure?" I cried. Voight looked at me sympathetically, "Not 100% but I'm pretty sure kid." He replied. "Why are you so sure?" I asked, running my hand through my hair as I paced. "Her name." he said. "She was never adopted, her name is Alexis Lindsay." He told me. I felt tears in my eyes as I collapsed into Voight's chair. "Never adopted?" I cried. "Why was she never adopted?" I asked, knowing Voight didn't have the answers. "I don't know Linds, but we can find out." He said kindly.

"Does she know who I am?" I asked. "Again Linds I don't know. All I heard was her introduce herself to her new partner and how she wanted to be a detective in Intelligence some day." He told me. "This isn't the life I wanted for her." I mumbled. "I know, but hey this could be a good thing." Voight tried to encourage. "You can get to know her?" he suggested. "Why would she want to know the woman who gave her up for adoption?" I sniffed as I wiped away my tears.

"Hey Erin don't think like that!" Voight said as he knelt down to look at me. "You were just a kid, who couldn't look after her daughter. You knew you couldn't so you gave her away in the hope she would have a better life, a better life than your parents gave you. Any kid who doesn't get that is crazy!" he told me. "My kid won't be crazy!" I said with a weak laugh. "Exactly she looks just like you so my guess is she got all your genes!" Voight smiled. "The good and the bad!" he joked.

I laughed at his last statement as I gently shoved him. "Your funny you know that!" I smirked. Voight joined me in laughing as he offered me a hand up. I took his hand and he pulled me to his feet, "I am here for you Erin, whenever you need to talk about this. If you want my opinion though I would talk to Alexis before someone else makes the connection. That way if she did come here because she knew you were here, it doesn't look like you are avoiding her." he advised. I nodded in agreement, "Thanks Voight, you have always had my back. Guess I should get this over with sooner rather than later." I replied. Voight nodded and opened the door. "I'm here for you, remember that!" he smiled as I headed for the stairs.


As I walked to the bottom I took a deep breath before taking the final few steps around the corner. Once I had mustered the courage I stepped around. Sure enough there was a teenage girl standing at reception, kitted out in a full uniform and who looked exactly like me.

I quietly walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. "Hi are you Alexis Lindsay?" I asked. "Yeah I am but I prefer just Alex." The girl told me. "Oh ok Alex. Um Alex do you know who I am?" I asked hesitantly. Alex looked me over before shaking her head, "Um sorry no, what's your name?" she asked. "Oh you don't know. Well that makes this a little awkward." I replied. "Why?" Alex asked confused. "Um well my name is Erin Lindsay." I told her as I waited for a reaction. "Lindsay? Are we related?" Alex gasped. "Are you like my long lost sister or something?" she said excitedly.

I didn't know how to react or what to say, so I did the worst thing possible. I nodded in agreement. "OH MY GOD I HAVE A SISTER!" Alex squealed excitedly. "ARE YOU SURE IT'S ME?" She added. "Um pretty sure. When's your birthday?" I asked. "August 23rd 1995" she answered. The reality hit me like a tone of bricks: this was my daughter. August 23rd 1995 was both the best and worst time in my life. "So am I the right person?" Alex asked, snapping me from memory lane. "Yeah you are." I told her.

I wasn't prepared for what happened next, Alex flung her arms around me and held on for dear life. Unfortunately for me Voight chose that moment to come downstairs. He saw me hugging Alex and obviously took it as a good sign. He walked over to us, "Hi so did Erin tell you?" he asked. "Yeah that she is my big sister!" Alex beamed. "Oh sister?" Voight said looking at me. "Yeah it just came out." I said to him. "Oh ok, well Lindsay sorry to cut this little reunion short but I need you for the case." He instructed. "Ok, um Alex I have to go. Work stuff but I will see you later if that's ok?" I asked. "SURE IT IS ERIN. I CANT WAIT TO GET TO KNOW YOU!" She replied happily.

"Nice meeting you Alex, maybe you can help us out sometime." Voight said as he led me away. Once we were in his car he turned to me, "Sister Erin really?" he said. "What the hell did you tell her that for?" he asked. "I don't know how it happened. She asked was I her sister and I panicked. Its not easy walking up to the kid you gave away and saying hey I'm your mom!" I cried. "I didn't say it would be easy Erin, but that kid needs to know the truth. She can't work in that station without it!" he told me. "I know Hank, but I don't know how to tell her. She might hate me for it." I confessed. "Erin that is a risk you have to take, but for the record she was willing to accept a totally stranger with the same surname as her sister. I don't think she will hate you." He replied.

"I guess that's true, she is to trusting." I replied. "That will change, she's a cop now she will learn who to trust and who not to trust." Voight said. "That's what I am worried about Hank. Out of all the careers she could have chosen, why the hell is is a cop? Its not like she new it ran in the family!" I complained. "She might not have known it did Erin, but it clearly does. I just hope she turns out as good as her mom." He laughed. "Me too, cause I am damn good!" I joked. "You are kid and I am super proud of you for everything you have done!" he complimented.

"Thanks Hank, I couldn't have done it without your help you know." I told him. "Erin it was my pleasure, and now you have been given the opportunity to pass your skills onto Alex. Make sure you do. Oh and I can arrange a DNA test for you both, you know if she demands proof." He told me. "Hopefully it doesn't come to that!" I replied. "Well we will see, right now we have a case and here comes our perp!" he said as he sped off in the direction the man had run…..

Hope you enjoyed :-) Until next time ;-)
