A/N: Ok so here's the sequel to "Beating the Odds." This will be my story of Jack and Audrey's relationship after Season 5 and my previous story. Reviews are greatly appreciated and thanks to all who reviewed and motivated me to do a sequel, otherwise it may never have gotten written. Lol.

Disclaimer: I don't own 24 or the characters, no matter how much I wish I did. I also don't own the song, "Unbroken", that inspired the title.

Chapter 1

"Oh, Jack," she breathed and reached up to pull him down into a searing kiss. As they continued to kiss, Jack pushed Audrey down onto the bed and climbed on top of her, showing her how much she meant to him. No matter what came with their new life, both Jack and Audrey knew that they would face it together and always love each other.

After their love making, Jack and Audrey lay in bed snuggling and enjoying the other's company. Jack was absentmindedly playing with Audrey's blonde hair as she lay on his chest. After minutes of silence, Jack said, "I don't know about you, but I'm hungry."

"Yeah me too. It must be all that physical exertion," she replied with a mischievous smile, leaning up to give him a quick kiss. Both Jack and Audrey climbed out of bed and got dressed and ready to go out. After they were both ready, they grabbed their jackets and headed out into the hall. Once inside the Jeep, Jack pulled out of the parking lot and drove towards a small café along the beach, that he knew Audrey would enjoy.

Ten minutes later, Jack parked the car along the sidewalk and, hand in hand, they walked up to a building with a porch and tables outside, as well as tables inside. They made their way up the stairs and were greeted at the door by the hostess.

"Hi and welcome to the Sunset Café. Would you like a table inside or outside?" she inquired politely

Jack looked at Audrey, silently asking what she would like to do.

"It's so nice out, why don't we sit outside," she answered.

The hostess nodded, grabbed two menus and led the couple outside to a table for two that overlooked the beach and the ocean.

"O wow, Jack, this is beautiful" Audrey exclaimed, as she took in the site of the setting sun over the deep blue water.

"I thought you'd like it," he said with a smirk, as he skimmed over the menu. When their waitress arrived they ordered their drinks and meals, before continuing their conversation.

"Jack, it just occurred to me," she began, "what are we going to about our jobs and living arrangements?"

"Well," Jack replied with a smile, "last time I checked, I didn't have job."

"Haha, very funny, wise guy. I mean where are you planning to look for a job."

"Well, seeing as how your job is in D.C, that's where I'll look."

"But, Jack, I know how much you love doing field work and you did mention earlier that Bill offered you a job at CTU," she replied.

"Yes, he did, sweetheart, but me being in the field was what came between us before. I don't want that to happen again," he said, remembering that fateful day. "Besides, if I took a job doing field work, I'd never be home to see you. That's not what I want."

Seeing the look in his eyes, she placed her hand on top of his and replied, "I guess you're right."

"There are plenty of jobs in D.C. that I can take that will allow me to spend more time with you, which matters more to me than any job I could find," he said, looking into her eyes.

"I'm sure my Dad would hire you again. He loved you working for him before," she suggested.

"If he offers I'd love to work for your father again, but I don't want to seem forward by asking," he replied hesitantly.

"You won't have to, once I tell him that we're going back to D.C. he'll probably offer," Audrey explained.

"And if he doesn't?" he asked.

"That's what I'm for," she replied with a smile.

Jack just shook his head and smiled at her. A few minutes later, their food was brought out and they ate while continuing light conversation. After they had finished their meals, Jack paid the check, and took Audrey's hand and led her down to the beach.

When they got down to they beach, Audrey and Jack took off their shoes and placed them under the boardwalk. Holding hands, they headed down to the water and began to walk along the shore.

They walked along for a while, making small talk, and kissing and laughing together. Jack draped his arm around Audrey's shoulder and she snaked her arm around his waist as they continued to walk. Jack was so wrapped up in staring down at Audrey he didn't watch where he was walking and tripped over a piece of wood that had washed up on shore. He landed face down in the sand and as he rolled over, Audrey saw that he was covered from head to toe. At his appearance, Audrey doubled over laughing as he glared at her.

"I guess the infamous Jack Bauer isn't as graceful when he isn't chasing down bad guys," she commented with a smirk on her face.

"O you think this if funny, huh?" he asked, as a small smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"Extremely"

"Well, then, maybe you'd like to join me," he said smiling, and reached over to pull her down on top of him. Audrey, however, anticipating his move, jumped out of the way and took off running down the beach back in the direction they came. Jack quickly got up and took of after her. Being faster than her, Jack quickly caught up, grabbed her around the waist and lifted her off the ground.

"Jack," she screamed, as he lifted her up and spun her around. He gently put her down, but didn't let go of his hold around her waist. She turned in his in embrace and smiled at him.

As Jack leaned in to kiss her, she quickly pulled back and jokingly said, "No way, you've got sand all over you face and mouth."

At her playful rejection, Jack put on his best puppy-dog face and looked into her eyes. At his cute appearance, she just smiled, reached up and began to wipe the sand off his face. When she was satisfied with her work, she looked up into his blue eyes.

"Better?" he asked, when she had finished.

"Much," she replied and looked down at the rest of his sand-covered body, "we can deal with the rest later," she said and pulled him in for a heated kiss. After a few moments, he reluctantly pulled back, knowing they could finish later, and planted a light kiss on her forehead. He then took her hand and led them back to the boardwalk to collect their discarded shoes. They walked back up the boardwalk and headed towards their car where they climbed in and drove back to the hotel.

A/N: More to come soon. As always, I love reviews and suggestions so, let me know what you think.
