Emma Swan, a 20 year old living in countless amount of shelters or churches, drinking, doing drugs, sleeping around, didn't expect to find out that she was pregnant. However that news snapped Emma back into reality. She got part time jobs, wherever she could, until she had saved enough money to pay rent, for her very own tiny apartment.
Things were difficult, preparing for a baby and trying to find a decent job, but she managed to get a part time place at a bounty hunter service, until her daughter, Eve Maya Swan, was born. Then she took on the full time placement there. Emma met her first real friend, working as a bounty hunter. He was a successful author and frequented the same coffee shop that Emma did every morning.
August Booth and his girlfriend Ruby Wolfe, would look after Eve, while Emma worked and they even offered to do it for free. Once Eve started school, Emma found a better job in California, and had to leave August and Ruby behind. It broke her heart, so from that moment, where she got in her new bug and drove away from her only friends, she made the promise to herself, that made sure she wouldn't get hurt like that again.

Emma parked her car outside of her condo and ran to her front door, swinging it open and slamming it behind her.
"Mommy!" Emma swung around to face the 6 year old, that was running towards her. Eve was basically a mini Emma. They had matching blonde curls and big blue eyes, and even the same taste in clothes.
"Evie!" Emma shouted, scooping her daughter up and cuddling her to her chest.
"How was work mommy? Sarah picked me up from school and we went to the park and had ice cream and then we came home and then we had dinner and then I had a bath and then we watched TV and then you came home!" Eve babbled.
Emma laughed and walked into the living room, where Eve's new babysitter sat, half asleep.
"Sarah you can leave now. Are you alright?" Sarah stood up, wobbling slightly.
"I think i might have a cold or something. Same time tomorrow?" Emma nodded, handing over the cash. Emma sat Eve down on the couch and turned off the TV.
"So Evie bean, how was school?"
"It was okay mommy. I played with Alice and Meg and we chased the boys and it was so funny. But i was hoping you was okay at work mommy." Emma smiled, Eve was so cute.
"That does sound like fun. Well i did get the job, and I had a lot of practising to do." Emma explained in the simplest way possible.
"What else mommy?" Eve could always sense what Emma was thinking.
"Well mommy was naughty and I had a little fight." Eve began to laugh.
"Mommy! Thats naughty. Why did you have a fight mommy?"
"A man, who is also a detective like mommy, said something mean."
"But mommy you always tell me that if someone says something mean to tell a teacher or you and not to have fights."
"That's right Eve, like I said mommy was naughty, but then I did a good job and my new boss said well done!"
"Well done mommy! So what about the people mommy?"
"Well there is a man called Munch, who is a bit strange." Eve burst into laughter.
"And his partner Fin, who calls Munch a dinosaur. But Fin is really nice. He helped mommy calm down after she was naughty."
"I like Fin mommy!" Eve declared.
"Me too baby. Then there is Olivia. She was the one who helped mommy learn what to do."
"Is she pretty mommy?" Emma had talked to Eve about being gay and Eve understood that some girls liked boys, and boys like girls, but others girls liked girls and other boys liked boys.
"Maybe." Emma teased.
"What about the boy you had a fight with mommy?"
"He is Olivia's partner. His name is Stabler."
"I don't like Stabler mommy. He said mean things to you."
"That's okay Evie bean, my boss told him off."
"What is your boss's name mommy?"
"HIs name is Captain Cragen baby. Oh and it's seven o'clock Eve." Emma pointed out.
"Cocoa!" Eve yelled, running towards the kitchen. It was tradition that at seven o'clock, Emma and Eve would have a cup of hot cocoa, with whipped cream and cinnamon, before Emma put Eve to bed, with a bedtime story.
The next morning, Emma woke up on time, so she showered and dressed, in her white tank, skinny jeans and her red leather jacket, before making breakfast, and waking up Eve. Emma dropped Eve, who was complaining she didn't feel too good, off at school and stopped at a local coffee shop, then made her way to work.
"Good morning." Emma called, walking into the squad room.
"Morning Swan, is that coffee?" Munch asked, looking at her tray of cups.
"Yep." She said handing out the coffee, to Munch, Fin, Benson and Stabler.
"Someone is in a good mood." Fin commented, while Emma sat at her desk.
"Yep."
"Someone got laid last night." Munch piped up.
"Nope." Everyone laughed, before diving back into work.
"Counsellor." Stabler greeted.
"Hey Casey." Olivia said. Emma got up from her seat and turned to face SVU's ADA, Casey Novak, for the first time.
"Hey I'm Em…" Emma trailed off, taking in the gorgeous woman in front of her. The stunning ADA was everything she didn't usually go for, tall, pale, blue eyes, redhead, but she couldn't help but admire her.
"Emma Swan, the new detective I was telling you about." Fin said, giving Emma a sly wink.
"Oh the amazing Emma Swan. I've got to say I was impressed when I was watching you interview Paul Roberts, through the glass yesterday." Casey said, walking towards Emma.
"Casey Novak." She greeted, shaking Emma's hand. Emma couldn't speak, her mouth had gone dry and her brain seemed to shut off.
"So counsellor what do we owe the pleasure?" Munch asked, thankfully saving Emma.
"I just wanted to drop in and say hello." Emma had to sit back down. Her knees were going weak, mesmerized by Casey's honey like voice.
"Counsellor." The captain greeted walking out of his office.
"Don."
"Swan what have you got on Jackson so far?" He asked, settling into work. Emma cleared her throat and adverted her eyes from Casey.
"Well I accessed his computer and had a quick look before I sent it to TARU. He had cleared his history but I managed to retrieve it and he has been visiting dozens of chatrooms, mainly occupied by groups of kids. So I tailed Jackson, and he visited four different internet cafes. I went and spoke to some of the people from each one and apparently he is a regular. He comes in, sits at a computer, loads up an email account and leaves again. But they have all noticed that he doesn't shut down the computer and maybe five minutes after he has left, different girls aged between 11-15 come and sit at his computer and then leave again. Something is going on I just can't figure out what."
"Well done Swan. Benson Stabler I want you two to finish tailing him. Once you see a girl at his computer, tail her instead. I wanna know where they are going. Fin, Munch get TARU to those computers discreetly and tell them to hurry up on his home computer or bring it back for Swan to look at. Swan, I want you to finish any paperwork you have. That's your punishment for yesterday." Captain ordered.
"So Swan what could you have possibly done on your first day, to deserve a punishment?" Casey asked, sitting on the edge of Emma's desk.
"I attacked Stabler." Emma mumbled, looking anywhere but at the ADA.
"And why would that be?"
"He called me a stupid dyke." Casey frowned.
"Good job Swan." She said standing up again.
"What do you mean Counsellor?" Emma asked, confused.
"If he had called me that, I think I would have done the exact same thing. Goodbye Emma." Emma was left sat at her desk, her mouth wide open. Does that mean she is a lesbian too? Or does that mean she is so disgusted by them she would hate to be called one? And being the first person to call Emma by her first name, was quite exciting.
Three hours later, Fin, Munch, Benson and Stabler were all back at their desks, when Casey Novak walked back into the squad room.
"Back again Counsellor?" Munch asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well I needed to speak to Don and decided to do it on my way home." She replied, marching into Captain's office.
"I think Swan isn't the only one with a crush." Munch commented, watching Emma stare at Casey's behind.
"What?" She nearly yelled.
"She never just comes by to say hello or to talk to captain. Ever since she saw you interrogate Roberts she has practically moved in here."
"It's true. This morning, I went to ask for a warrant and she started asking me questions about you. I thought it was her just wanting to know the new detective, but the way she looks at you, definetly not." Fin explained. Emma shook her head, about to completely deny it, when her mobile began to ring. Noticing it was Eve's school number, she picked up.
"Hello."
"Hello Miss Swan. Your daughter Eve has been telling her teacher she didn't feel too good, and about ten minutes ago she started throwing up."
"Oh, okay. I am at work, so can i call someone to arrange to have her picked up and then I will call you back."
"Yes that is fine Miss Swan, although i do insist you hurry." Emma ended the call and walked outside, away from the rest of her squad.
"Hey Sarah. Eve has just threw up at school."
"Emma I was just about to call you. I'm really sick and can't look after Eve tonight i'm so sorry."
"It's okay Sarah. Get well soon."
"Shit." Emma mumbled, walking back into the precinct. For her to be able to pick Eve up and take her home, she would have to tell Captain about Eve.
Emma wasn't ashamed about her daughter, but she was worried that if she told people about her, she would face questions she didn't really want to answer. Like about Eve's father for instance.
"You okay Swan?" Fin asked. Emma nodded and walked over to the captain's office and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Emma opened the door and saw Casey sat on the small sofa. Emma had completely forgotten about the ADA.
"I'm really sorry sir but I need to go home. I will be back in Thursday I promise."
"You know you have to tell me why right?" Emma nodded and pulled out her phone. She handed it to him. The screensaver was a picture of her and Eve cuddled together on the sofa.
"Daughter?" Captain asked, handing back the phone. Emma nodded.
"Go. But Swan. Make sure I know everything from now on." Emma nodded again and walked back into the squad room and collected her stuff.
"Where you going Swan?" Olivia asked.
"Home. See you on thursday." Emma said, practically running out of the doors.
The next day while cuddled on the sofa, with Eve, watching Frozen, Emma received a text.
Hey, it's Casey Novak. Fin gave me your number. Hope that's okay.
Hey Counsellor. Yep that's fine. Within minutes another text came through.
I couldn't help but overhear your conversation with Don. You have a daughter?
Yep. Her name is Eve and she is 6. Emma sighed, causing Eve to squirm.
"Sorry baby."
"That's okay mommy. Who are you texting?"
"Casey."
"The pretty one you were talking about yesterday mommy?"
"Yes Evie bean, the ADA."
"Tell Casey that Eve said hi mommy."
"Okay baby." Emma said, firing off another text.
Eve said hi. There was no reply.
An hour later, Emma's phone began to ring.
"Captain." Emma greeted, motioning Eve to be quiet.
"Swan, I'm sorry I know you have today off but Jackson has been arrested and he is refusing to talk to anyone. We only have another five hours before we have to release him again. There isn't enough evidence to prosecute. We need a confession. You're our last shot." Emma sighed.
"I really do want to come in and help, but Eve is sick and I haven't got anyone to look after her." Emma explained. She could hear Captain whispering to someone.
"Bring her in with you. She can wait in my office until you are finished. I will have someone look after her I promise." After a few minutes consideration, Emma agreed and got herself and Eve ready. Twenty minutes later, Emma, carrying Eve, walked into the squad room. Fin, Munch, Benson, Stabler, Captain and Casey all stopped what they were doing, to turn to look at them. Emma took a deep breath and began to walk over to them. All Emma wanted to do, was to follow her instincts and run. But she didn't.
"Eve baby, do you wanna meet all the people I was telling you about?" Emma asked. Eve nodded against Emma's shoulder and Emma turned Eve around to face everybody.
"Everybody this is my daughter Eve. Eve this is Munch." Emma said turning to face Munch.
"Hello, I'm Eve." Eve said, holding out her hand. Munch shook it, smiling.
"Didn't know you had a daughter Swan." Fin commented.
"You're Fin. Mommy said you called Munch a dinosaur and that you are really nice." Eve laughed. Fin laughed too.
"Really nice huh?" Fin said giving Emma a small smile.
"And you are Olivia. Mommy said that you were showing her what to do." Olivia nodded and shook Eve's little hand.
"She is a really good detective."
"Yep." Eve agreed.
"And you are Stabler. Mommy said she was naughty and had a fight with you, because you said something mean." Eve said, pulling an adorable angry face. Stabler nodded.
"Hey Eve, do you think I should say sorry to your mommy?"
"Yep and then Eve like you." Stabler chuckled.
"Emma I'm sorry for saying mean things. It won't happen again." He said, shaking Emma's hand.
"And you are Captain. You are my mommy's boss." Eve said, turning to face the captain.
"You can call me Don, but don't tell anyone okay?"
"I won't Don." Eve promised. Captain smiled. Emma turned to face the last person, who was smiling eagerly.
"Hey Eve." Casey said, stepping closer to her.
"You are Casey aren't you?" Casey nodded.
"You are the ADA. Mommy was texting you earlier and I said to say hi."
"I know. But my phone died so I couldn't text your mommy back to say hi to you too." Casey explained. Eve nodded and shook Casey's hand.
"Mommy said you were really pretty." All the blood drained from Emma's face. She could tell that her colleagues were trying not to laugh, at her embarrassment. Luckily Casey turned to Emma, then back to Eve and said;
"Really? I think Eve is really pretty too, just like her mommy." Emma blushed, when Casey met her gaze and they shared an almost secret smile of acknowledgement, before the captain cleared his throat.
"Right well, are you okay to talk to Jackson now?" He asked. Emma nodded.
"Who is going to sit with Eve?"
"Well me and Casey have to watch through the glass, and someone has to go in there with you, so it's up to you."
"Mommy can I sit with Casey?" Eve asked. Casey smiled, clearly happy to be the favourite.
"No baby Mommy, Captain, Casey and Stabler have to go and do some work, so it's up to you Evie bean." Nearly everyone looked confused that Emma had chosen Elliot to go in with her, but they brushed it off when Eve turned to Olivia and said;
"Can I sit with Olivia please mommy?" Olivia nodded and led Eve to Captain's office, while Captain, Casey, Emma, and Stabler made there way to Jackson's interrogation room.
"Just do whatever you did with Roberts Swan." Captain said, before Emma and Elliot walked into the small room.
"Hey Mr Jackson, my name is Detective Emma Swan." She began. Two hours later, Emma walked out of the room, after getting a full confession. Jackson had been grooming, raping and selling girls for over five years, using chat rooms.
"Good work Swan." Captain said stoic as always, although he was secretly beaming.
"I have to say I underestimated you Swan." Stabler said, as he marched Jackson down to rikers. The two men left, leaving Emma and Casey alone.
"NIce work Emma." Casey said, leaning against the door to leave.
"Thanks Counsellor."
"Casey."
"What?"
"It's only fair if I call you Emma, you call me Casey."
"Okay thanks Casey." Casey gave her a quick smile, before opening the door and walking over to the crowd of detectives. In the middle of the crowd stood Eve, entertaining everyone with her cuteness.
Once Eve saw Casey, she pushed past everyone and ran straight towards her.
"Casey!" Eve yelled, doing grabby hands, indicating to pick her up.
"Hey Eve." Casey greeted, picking the 6 year old up.
"I was playing with some toys in Don's office with Olivia and then I sat at Mommy's desk and was talking to Munch and Fin. What was you doing Casey?"
"I was watching your mommy, to make sure everything was okay."
"Was mommy good Casey?"
"Your mommy was amazing Eve." Eve beamed.
"Eve likes Casey." Casey chuckled.
"Casey likes Eve."
"Does Casey like mommy?"
"Casey likes mommy." Casey whispered, however not quiet enough, for Emma to overhear.
"Mommy likes Eve and Casey too." She whispered back. Casey blushed and Eve jumped into Emma's arms. Emma was beaming on the outside, but there was a constant voice telling her to run, as usual, on the inside.
"Mommy I don't feel icky anymore. Can i go back to school tomorrow? I want to play with Alice and Meg again." Emma nodded and Eve cheered.
"Thank you Swan. For coming in and letting us meet Eve. You did great." Munch said, seriously, patting Emma on her shoulder.
"Thanks Munch." She said, gathering her stuff together.
"Bye guys." She shouted, leaving the squad room. As she was strapping Eve into her car seat, trying to hide from the rain, she saw Casey, dressed in sweatpants, trainers and a tank, getting onto a bike. Acting on instinct, Emma shut the car door and ran over to Casey.
"Casey." Emma greeted.
"Hey Emma." Casey smiled, clearly shivering.
"Let me drive you home." Emma offered. Casey shook her head.
"Just get in the car Casey." Casey smiled and followed Emma back over to her tiny yellow bug and climbed in the passenger side.
