A/N: This is an AU story – I had this crazy idea what would happen if something changed Jack Bauer's past. Where would he be now (sometime I mix up timelines, if they did not suit for my story, like birth date).
Warning: I am not native English speaker, (so grammar and other mistake likely- help always welcomed) and I did not see the show just up to Season 3 so far (here the others did not air yet)

"My name is Jack Bauer. I could have been anything, if my life did not take an unexpected turn. But I knew I couldn't, would not give up my only treasure, my daughter Kim."
Chapter 1Life and Death. Eternal circle. They change everything.
Jack Bauer sat on the dirty street in a dark alley, his blond hair looked messy as it strike up every possible way. His clothes dirty and worn. His face and eyes blank, only the tears betrayed his emotional-state, the pain what he felt.
Under a short year his life turned upside down. First he found out he would became a father, he was shocked, confused and happy. He and Terri were so happy. Only their happiness did not last long, when their parents found out they wanted to make them abort the unborn baby, because they were too young for a responsibility like that, children themselves. But they, Terri and Jack wanted to keep the child, loved the baby with their all heart. Not seeing other possibility, they run, as far as they could without looking back. Their life was hard, but they managed, because they had one another, someone who they could trust, who trusted in them and knew until they were together nothing could hart them. Nothing.
Only nothing kept forever.
A lone tear escaped Jack's eyes as he looked down at the tiny baby in his lap, bundled in his pullover and jacket to keep her safe and warm. Life and Death. Eternal circle. Terri dyed giving birth to their daughter, and Kim live. And while his life changed irreversible again, the world goes on without missing a bit, people smiling, joking, living their every day life, while one lone figure, a fifteen year-old child morn the loss of his love.
The baby, Kim started to fuss, most likely hungry. Her crystal blue eyes met her father's similar gaze, raising Jack out his shell-shocked trans, reminding him what was important in his life, why he needed to move. Far away the closing police car's siren warned him to need to move. He climbed to his feet, adjusted the baby on his arm and walked away. With one last glance he looked back at the hospital where his life changed again, where Terri died, where Kim was born, where a part of him lost forever, before he turned away before vanishing in the mass in the busy street.

Tell me what you think so far. If anyone interested in the idea to make a fic, just borrow it, but tell me I would like to read it. : )
