Ok so here is chapter 10, hope you enjoy :-) I have changed things slightly so this would be the first time Erin has seen her mom in years :-) No Copyright Intended!

Chapter 10

Erin's Point of View

"What the hell are you doing here?" I hissed at my mother. "Erin what way is that to talk to me!" she replied. "Seriously you have to ask that?" I cried. Mom looked at me offended as she sat down opposite me. "Hey what are you doing?" I asked. "Sitting beside my daughter, Erin I want to make amends for the way I have acted before." She replied. "Mom this isn't a good time send me an email or something!" I told her. Before she could reply Alex returned.

"Um hello?" she said as she looked at me confused. "I will have a coffee, Erin honey what do you want?" mom asked. "I'm not a waitress and you're in my seat!" Alex explained. Mom turned to face Alex with a look of annoyance on her face. However upon seeing her, and the similarities she shared with me all she could do was gasp. "Erin is this?" she whispered in shock. "Not really any of your business, look can you just leave?" I complained.

However mom wasn't listening instead she got up and cupped Alex's face with her hands. She kept turning her head as if to make sure she was real. "GET OFF!" Alex protested as she swatted mom away. "Who are you?" she cried, as she darted around mom to squeeze into the seat beside me. I slid over to let her in, as she continued to stare at mom.

"Erin aren't you going to introduce us?" mom smiled. "Alex this is my mother, she was just leaving." I mumbled. "LEAVING? Erin I want to meet my granddaughter!" she chimed. "Well we don't have time, come on Alex lets go!" I said as I ushered Alex out of the booth. Alex looked incredibly confused as she slid out of the booth and headed for the door. "ERIN, PLEASE!" Mom called after us. I turned to face her as she begged me to stay. "I want to get to know my granddaughter and get back into your life!" she pled. "WHY NOW?" I yelled as I gradually started to loose my patience.

"What?" mom asked, embarrassed. "Why now? Why do you want to know her now? YOUR 19 YEARS TO LATE FOR THE DOTING GRANDMOTHER ACT!" I yelled, not caring who was listening. "Erin I…." she started to say but I cut her off. "Save it, I don't want to here it!" I fumed as I grabbed Alex and pulled her towards the car. She didn't speak until we were inside it.

"So um…" she mumbled. "Sorry about that." I apologized. "Hey its cool, do you want to talk about it?" she asked. "No." I replied. "Ok." Alex said as she started the car. However I wasn't able to contain my anger, "She just really pisses me off you know? I mean she comes over and wants to get to know you? What's that about?" I wined. "Um Erin, what did you mean when you yelled your 19 years to late?" Alex asked nervously. "What?" I asked. "When you yelled your 19 years for the doting grandmother act." She explained. "Oh um, when I told her I was pregnant I was only 14. She's an addict so she wasn't really listening at first. So I had to keep repeating myself until it registered with her." I told her.

"What did she say?" Alex questioned. "She said well that's your life ruined." I shuttered at the memory. "That's it?" Alex gasped. "Yip, she wasn't really the supportive kind. After that she refused to acknowledge that I was pregnant. Pretended not to see anything or hear anything about it. That's when I decided I had to give you up." I told her as I wiped the tears that I hadn't noticed before away. "I'm sorry." She whispered. "What for?" I asked shocked. "Sorry for the way she acted, I can't imagine what that must have been like at 14!" she replied. "Als, its not you fault!" I smiled as I gently rubbed her arm.

"I know but still, was my dad not around?" Alex asked hesitantly. "Um….." I mumbled. "Bad guy huh?" she whispered sadly. "Yeah something like that, I didn't tell him about you. He would have tried to take you and I couldn't let that happen." I told her. Alex nodded her head in response as she pulled up at the apartment. "Erin do you mind if I go for a drive? Clear my head?" she asked. "Sure you don't have to ask my permission. Like you said your 19 not much I can do about it!" I replied sadly at the fact my little girl was all grown up. I got out of the car and waved her off before heading upstairs to my quiet apartment.

Alex's Point of View

After dropping Erin off I headed straight to the station, I had to ask Voight about Erin's mom. I hated seeing her so upset for some reason, and if anyone knew how to cheer her up it was Hank Voight. As I walked into the station Platt looked truly happy to see me. "ALEX LINDSAY!" She grinned as I walked in. "SARGENT PLATT!" I smiled back. "Good to see you alive Lindsay, back at work soon I hope?" she added. "Soon as possible, um is Voight upstairs?" I asked. "Yeah he sure is." She told me. I thanked her and went to his office.

I knocked at the door before going in, grateful the others hadn't arrived yet. "COME IN!" Voight called. I gently opened the door and walked inside. "Alex? Everything ok?" he asked as I shut the door. "Yeah its fine, well I mean Erin's fine I left her off at the apartment." I told him. "Ok? So why are you here?" he asked a little more relaxed. "Um well I wanted to ask you about Erin's mom." I replied. "What about her?" he hissed. "Well see, we kinda met her today when we went to a diner for food. But Erin got really mad and we had to leave, so I guess I was wondering what the deal was there?" I questioned.

"Why didn't you ask Erin?" he replied. "Don't want to upset her." I explained. "HUH ok I get it. Well Erin's mom was a wreck when she was growing up, addicted to drugs, drank a lot pretty much depended on Erin to look after her. Erin said when she told her she was pregnant she didn't support her, didn't offer to help she pretty much left her hanging. So Erin felt she had no choice but to give you away for a better life. I didn't meet her until after she had given you away." He told me. "Wow and I thought I had it bad!" I muttered, suddenly feeling ashamed for all those times in the care home I said I hated my real mom for giving me up.

"She would have been a great mom, if she had the support she needed. But she was just a kid with no money and nobody to turn to." Voight said sadly. "I can see that she would have been a great mom. She is already better than all the foster moms I have had and I only met her!" I smiled. "Alex, are you planning on sticking around?" Voight asked out of the blue. "What do you mean?" I asked confused. "I mean are you planning on staying here, with Erin and this station?" he asked. "Yeah why wouldn't I?" I replied. "Just making sure, I have asked for something and I want to make sure I wont regret it. Oh and I don't want Erin getting hurt." He explained.

"Ok well you don't have to worry, I'm not planning on going anywhere!" I assured him. "Good then I wont regret my request." He replied. "What request?" I asked. "Can't say yet sorry. Look kid I love chatting to you but I have to get to work and you aren't due back for another week so beat it!' he smirked. "Wait I have one more question?" I replied. "Shoot." He said. "What is Erin's favourite breakfast?" I asked. "Well she loves pancakes, but seeing as how it is now lunch time, I would go for a sandwich from the shop beside the fire station." He told me. I quickly thanked him before leaving the station.

However as I walked down the stairs I didn't expect to see Erin's mom waiting for me. "ALEX?" She called after me as I tried to ignore her. "ALEX? THAT'S YOUR NAME ISN'T IS?" She called louder. "What do you want?" I hissed as I turned to face her. "5 minutes, that's all I need." She begged...

Ok so that was chapter 10, hope you enjoyed :-) Until next time ;-)
