A/n: I'm heartbroken that Terra Nova was cancelled by Fox. I really am. It was an amazing show with an interesting plot and most importantly, it was something you could watch with your family. So in tribute of TN, here is a new fic. Each chapter will be centered on one character and his or her personality. It'll be short but you'll like it.

Jim Shannon

He thought impulsively and would go to any length to protect his family. It didn't matter what the consequences would be as long as his wife and children were safe and alive. To Jim Shannon, family was everything.

He was a family man; he loved Elisabeth from the moment he saw her and when they had their first child, a little boy named Josh, he felt as if nothing could make him happier. But a while later, came along a baby girl whom they named Maddy and their small family was perfect. Their third was an unexpected surprise but welcomed never the less. Jim was a man of law, after all he was a cop but it seemed as if he never followed the rules. Elisabeth panicked slightly when she found out that she was pregnant with their third baby but Jim wasn't. He was ready to be a daddy once more.

Family was two parents and two children. That was the population law. Shannon didn't follow laws; he did whatever he could to go against them. Intentionally or not.

Zoe was brought into the world secretly. No one knew of this addition of the Shannon family for years until that day when Population Control barged into their home and uncovered Zoe's existence and arrested Jim for punching an official. But it was all worth it because he was able to protect his youungest baby girl.

He didn't have any regrets. He didn't. He'd gladly punch whoever tried to take away his loved ones from him. He was a husband and father before anything else. Nothing but family mattered to him and isn't this the way a father is supposed to be?

His motto was: Family comes first. Everything comes second. When you've got someone, you stick with them and make sure they are taken care of.

And it's true that this man would die before letting someone or something hurt his wifey and kids.

Jim Shannon; a true example of a good husband and father.

A/n: This is all for now. Did you like it? Whatever you think, I'd love to hear your views. So do take the time to leave a short review.
