Okay, sorry this took days, I didn't mean for this to happen. I promised a chapter two weeks ago, and I didn't deliver. I do promise a chapter of a story this week. It might be this one, or one of the others, or from a different fandom, we'll see, but I won't take forever.
About this chapter, Erin will be found, but things won't be great. There will be a death. And Chicago Fire characters will make an appearance, since some of you wanted them to be here. They won't have a speaking role, sorry, maybe in the future. If things are the way I planned it, they might be needed. *Hint Hint* Enjoy.
So the title came from Parachute by Ingrid Michaelson.

Erin groaned, as Sarah punched her stomach. She didn't remember how she got there. She fell to her knees, as she clenched her stomach in pain. She felt Sarah grab her by the hair and glare at her.
"Why are you doing this?" Erin asked, wincing as she took a breath. She could feel blood on the corner of her lip. She could also taste the cooper of her blood in her mouth. She wondered why Sarah was doing this. Why she was still with Colton, who belonged in a psychiatric ward. "Why are you with him?"
"I love him. I would do anything for him, even deal with his pathetic daughter," she answered, as she released her stepdaughter. Erin dropped to the ground. Her body didn't seem able to support her body.
Erin didn't say anything in return. She was busy trying to get through the pain she felt. Erin closed her eyes, and prayed for her team, for her real father.

Dawson hung up the phone, as the team rushed to the address they had.
"Who was that?" Halstead questioned, giving Dawson a look.
"My sister. There is a chance Erin could be hurt, and we might need a paramedic. I know Voight is too strung up to realize that, I know you haven't called anyone, and I also know Al and Ruzek won't as well," Dawson explained, as he stared at the car in front of him.
"I hope we won't need them," Halstead muttered, as they neared the house.

"Stand up," Sarah ordered, pulling Erin up by her hair.
Erin whimpered as she stood up. The welts on her body were still hurting her. They weren't being taken care of, and she knew there was a big chance of infection. If she had to guess, she would say that an infection had already started. She hadn't been feeling well, and her body felt cold. She knew Sarah wouldn't care.
Sarah made sure Erin was standing on her own. She smirked when she noticed Erin wobbling on her feet. She was just about to slap Erin when she heard someone behind her. She looked back and saw Colton standing there. He smiled at them, pure love in his eyes.
Sarah smiled back and moved away. She knew he didn't want to see her hit his daughter. She kissed his cheek and walked out of the room.
Colton picked Erin up, bridal style. He walked to her room, and laid her down on the bed. He sat down, and watched her.
"What's going to happen?" Erin asked, weakly. Her head was spinning, and she was tired.
"I need to get rid of Voight. I'm your father, and he can't be around," he answered, as he stroked her hair.
"Y-you can't. You won't be able to," she whispered, trying to sit up. Her dizziness and fatigue be damn, she had to protect Voight.
"He's coming here. I'm going to end it now. I've called for some help," he said, as he moved to tie Erin to the headboard. She fought back, trying to stop him from hurting her real family. "Stop fighting. It's doing to be over soon," he whispered, after he finished tying her up.
Erin groaned as she fought against the ropes. Her eyes watered when she thought about what Colton was planning. Her team was walking to an ambush. They had to be careful. They just had too.

"Wait here," Dawson told his sister and her partner. They were ready to head inside the house in front of them, but they didn't know if it was safe. As far as they knew, there was a dangerous woman and man in there holding one of their own captive.
Voight split the team in two. Halstead and Dawson would go through the back with other officers. Ruzek and Olinsky go though the front. Atwaters and Burgess would be going in with them. Voight was going to find another way in.
They headed inside the house; ready for anything, as Gabriella Dawson and Leslie Shay watched the police enter the house, hoping they weren't needed when they came out.

Erin clenched her eyes shut, when she heard Voight's voice. He was ordering her biological father and his team down. She choked back a sob when she heard the gunshots. She didn't know what was going on, and she hated it. She hated no knowing what was going on, especially when she was the reason.
Her breath got caught when she heard the door open. She kept an eye on the door, as she tried to move away from the door. She was scared. She didn't know who it was, if it was someone in Colton's side, if it was Sarah ready to kill her and say it was an accident. She didn't know if it was someone in her team. She had no idea, and it scared her.
The door opened and two men stood there. She let the breath out and half laughed when she realized it was Halstead and Dawson.
Halstead couldn't believe what he was seeing. The woman that had his heart was tied to a bed, her body covered in welts. He could see the stitches on her leg, and the bruises. He was so angry. He felt like hurting those who had caused her pain.
Dawson rushed to untie her. He assumed it wasn't comfortable. Not if she was like that for the last few days.
"Thank you," she whispered, her voice full of pain. He felt Halstead stand next to her, soothing her while he untied her as quick as he could.
"It's going to be okay. We've got you. We are going to get out of here, and get you home. I promise," he told her, as she stared at him. She looking into his eyes while Dawson did what he did. Halstead's eyes kept her calm.
"Okay, pick her up, carefully," Dawson said, as he watched Halstead pick Erin up.
They walked out of the room, and headed outside, but froze when they saw Colton aiming his gun at Voight, who didn't have a gun for an unknown reason. Dawson pulled out his gun and aimed it at Colton. Erin tried to move from Halstead's hold, trying to stop her biological father from hurting her adopted father. Halstead was busy trying to keep Erin up, that he didn't see her grab something from his side.
"Let me try to talk to him, please," Erin begged, her pain-filled eyes connected with Halstead's.
He nodded and let her stand next to him, but made sure he was carrying most of her weight.
"Daddy, don't do this," she begged the man who kidnapped her.
"I have to. You can't have him as you father. That title belongs to me. The only way I can take it back is if he's dead," Colton answered, looking at his daughter. He glared at the man holding her, but didn't move his gun from Voight.
"Please," Erin tried on last time. Colton shook his head, and gripped the gun tighter. She had to act fast. She saw his finger twitch against the trigger.
Bang!
They stared in shock, as the body fell to the ground. Blood was dripping from his head, and a feminine scream could be heard.
Erin dropped the gun; that she had taken from Halstead's hoister. She had pulled the trigger. She was reason there was a bullet in Colton's head.
She stood there, frozen, as she watched the blood ooze out of Colton's head. She had killed him. She killed her own father. She killed the man who gave her life. She watched as Sarah screamed and run to Colton's body. She screamed in pain, while Erin watched, feeling numb.
Halstead was talking to her, but she didn't hear anything. He picked her back up and rushed out of the room. He needed to make sure she was okay. Dawson and Voight stayed to finish the arrests.
Erin didn't remember anything while Gabby Dawson and Shay looked her over and took her to the hospital. All she remembered was her father's dead body that laid on the floor because of her.
Finally, she fainted, the last few days had finally caught up to her. Her fever had heightened. Gabby Dawson and Shay rushed, knowing things weren't looking well. They hoped the experience wasn't going to ruin Erin. They just hoped.

Colton was happy. He had never been so happy. He wondered if his sister was that tiny when she was born. His little girl, she had finally arrived after nine months. He fell in love her the moment he saw her. She was asleep in her mother's arms.
Caroline was on the bed next to him. She was also staring at the baby, the baby that was inside of her for nine months. She had carried the little girl for nine months, and she was finally there, in her arms.
"Erin," Colton whispered, smiling softly. He gently stroked her face. Erin clenched her eyes, and looked ready to cry, but fell back to sleep.
Caroline looked at the father of her child, her boyfriend, and nodded. Erin, I like it," she responded.
"You hear that. Your name is Erin, and I'm going to love you forever," Colton whispered, as he took Erin in his arms. "I love you baby."
