Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters from Chicago PD.

This idea came to after re-watching the show again. I only watch seasons 1-4 can't really get myself to watch past season 4 but I have seen some clips mainly Jay scenes because I have been a fan of Jesse's since he was on the soap "As The World Turns" I only started watching Chicago PD for Jesse and Sophia and after Sophia let I guess I just gave up. I am a big Linstead shipper and hated that they never really got their chance to be happy but I totally respect Sophia's choice for leaving.

Chapter 1: The Return

The cool Chicago night air is the first thing that hits her as she walks out the doors of the airport. It brings her back to the night that she left everything that she ever knew and loved behind. Erin had taken Voight's words to heart and left Chicago and never looked back until now.

It has been nearly three years since she had been back in Chicago, three years since she seen Voight. Of course she talked to him occasionally but she never made the effort to come and visit him in Chicago and he never came to New York to see her. They both felt that the distance would help Erin adjust better to her new life. She never asked about anyone from her old unit and she definitely didn't ask about him. She missed him terribly but it was better this way. Despite how much she may have wanted to it was best not to know. But now it was time to come home.

She should have do have done it years ago but she really did need to get out of Chicago and leave Bunny behind for good. She needed to heal from the wounds that Bunny caused to fully move forward with her life. The past few years haven't been easy for Erin missed her old unit her friends but she made it through. She had known she needed to come back and try and make things right but she was scared. But one phone call changed everything and gave Erin the push that she finally needed to return home.

Flashback

Erin had gotten the call that would bring her back to Chicago after she returned home from an assignment. Erin walked through the door of her apartment completely and utterly exhausted. See saw the boxes that were scattered all over her living room. She had been putting off this move for months but she knew what she had to do. Deciding that she need some sleep before she dealt with anything. She threw her ready bag down at the entry way and kick off her shoes and made her way down the hallway.

This last case had been incredible hard. It was times like this that she wished that she could call him and just talk. He was always good at being there for her when she needed him. But she knew that she burned that bridge a long time ago. Shaking her head from those thoughts she makes her way to the bedroom to see the one person she has been missing for days. Before she can open the door the shrill ring of her cell phone goes off.

She quickly moves away from the door hoping the sound didn't wake the sleeping body in the room. She sees the Voight's name flashing on the screen.

She answers the phone with a quiet, "Hello?"

"Erin, it's Alvin" He answers in a quiet tone.

Her stomach immediately drops. " Why are you calling from Voight's phone?" Her breathe begins to quicken as she waits for the answer.

"Voight's been shot. It's bad Erin."

"I'll be on the next flight out."

End of flashback

The tiny pull on her hand bring her back to the present and brings a small smile to her face.

"Mommy?" The little voice asks her.

"Yes baby" She replies she looks down at her daughter.

"Where are we?" she asks.

Erin leans down and picks up her daughter and says, " Where home baby, back where we belong."

She just hoped that everyone would understand why she needed to leave and why she ultimately had to return.
