Disclaimer: I own nothing of Terra Nova…but if I did Wash would be alive and she and Taylor would have a secret marriage that you only every now and then caught a glance of and Maddy and Mark's relationship would be takin' down a notch.

Summary: what if Wash had a daughter? What if Lucas had a childhood sweet heart? What if?

A/N: Alright beautiful people, here is my fix fic. First off have to say I was completely bawling when Wash died and was silently hating Taylor and Jim at the end and mentally murdering Lucas a million times over. Right so few things on the NTK about this story, I can't remember the dudes name that Lucas is working for to save my life so his name is Stanson, and also the name of Wash's daughter is a little weird I know but…I really don't give a crap. Oh, and I promise eventually a Taylor/Wash.

Pairings: Maddy/Mark(even though they are undoubtedly gonna be together), Elisabeth/Jim(DUH!), Malcolm/Wash(very very VERY EXTREMLY small), Lucas/OC, and Wash/Taylor(What would a Terra Nova story be without them).

Warnings: well I already have a season finally spoiler so well there was no need for much of a warning there…swearing-mild.

Alright promise future chapters will not have this much rambling in it. All the above goes for every single chapter mainly*cough cough*pairings*cough cough*.

Enjoy! :)

What if…

In exactly 24hours Terra Nova would either be welcoming the 11th pilgrimage or fighting for their lives against a paid heartless army.

Commander Taylor was standing on the balcony of the command center watching the people of the colony wonder around the market picking out food. Most were getting more then was truly needed out of fear for what could happen. He glanced at the soldiers standing by the gate and saw Reilly and Reynolds bickering about something-most likely-pointless. He looked at the faces and realized that it was almost noon and he hadn't seen or heard from his lieutenant or sheriff all morning.

He grunted and turned around walking back into the command center. Right after he sat down in his chair the doors flew open reviling the ever interrupting sheriff. At the look on Jim's face Taylor leaned back in his chair with his feet thrown lazily on the desk "Got a reason for comin' in here, Shannon?" he asked smirking knowing exactly what was on Jim's mind. It was the same exact thing that every soul in the colony was thinking.

Jim bit his lip not sure how to put what he wanted to say in a sentence "How…do…you…expect to know…if it's the army or…not?"

Taylor sighed and reached for a plex-pad in front of him and slid it across the desk in to Jims waiting hands "third name in the W section."

Jim ran his finger down the side of the plex-pad until he found the name he was suppose to looking for. He looked at it a moment in disbelief then cleared his throat "She's not possibly related to-"

"Yes," Taylor said interrupting Him mid-sentence. "Her daughter."

Jim took a deep breath and closed his eyes trying to imagine his friend's daughter, his friend being a mother. He opened his eyes and placed the plex-pad back on the desk then looked up at the commander "Does she know?" he basically whispered.

Taylor shook his head glancing out the small window that looked out to the jungle canopy "I hopped it to stay that way. I made the list before I even had the thought that Lucas had come even slightly close to figuring out the portal. I was hoping it would be a happy reunion…" He trailed off falling deep into his own thoughts.

It had reached an uncomfortable silence between the two "So…" Jim cleared his throat dragging the commander out of his thoughts. "How does she affect this whole…" He couldn't think of a good word for it. He tossed a few words around in his head before he stuck with "dilemma."

Taylor snorted and looked at him like he should already know "Have you not met her mother Shannon?" he threw his legs off the desk and leaned forward placing his elbows on the glass desk and resting his chin on his entwined fingers. "You should know why she is important."

Jim gave him a confused look.

"Shannon, think about her mother and tell me you don't have a single clue to why I want her to come through the portal first."

Jim said the first thing that came to his mind "Badass?"

Taylor raised an eyebrow at him "Any other bright ideas Shannon?" Taylors voice was far from friendly.

Jim could obviously tell that Taylor was not happy with his response. He searched his brain a moment only a few words coming to mind. "Loaltay?" he guessed running a hand over his face. He was still trying to process the fact that his friend is a mother!

Taylor nodded "She was raised by her, Shannon, that means the main thing she was taught when she was younger to 'always have loyalty to the people you love.' I believe she lives that motto."

There was a long pause between the two "So…what's your plan?" Jim asked.

"We'll have her come through the portal first," he glanced at the plex-pad and reached for it "If it's her that comes through first we'll know it's not a trap, but…if not well…you know the rest." He smirked looking down at the list of the 94 names that were hopefully coming through tomorrow.

"Are you going to tell her?"

"No."

"Taylor, this is her daughter you can just keep this secret from her!"

"Shannon," Taylor barked standing up almost un-naturally fast. "Her daughter is the world to her, I do not want to get her hopes up to have them destroyed!" He gave Jim a hard stare that would leave any other man in the colony wishing they were facing an angry pair of slashers instead of the blue eyed commander. "I do NOT want he to hear a single word of this conversation, UNDERSTAND!"

Jim bit his cheek to keep from yelling and gave a quick jerky nod along with a low "Yes sir."

Taylor slowly sat down observing Shannon carefully for the slightest from of defiance from the man. They glared at each other for a few long moments "Dismissed." His tone left no room for arguing. Jim mockingly clicked his heels and practically ran out of the room mumbling under his breath.

Taylor smirked grabbing the plex-pad sitting in front of him and glanced over the name that was still right in the middle of the screen.

Shadow Danni Washington.

Lucas stood against the rail looking down at the mercenaries grouping together. He was lost in thought when a man with huge glasses and wearing all black with a plex-pad in his hand walked up to him.

"Lucas Taylor?" he asked pushing his glasses up. Lucas turned his head towards him only half acknowledging his presences.

The man cleared his throat and held out his plex-pad "Here is the list of names who are suppose to be boarding to Terra Nova tomorrow. You said you wanted it?"

Lucas raised an eyebrow at him but took the plex-pad from him "So tell me, Stanson, why do I have this?"

Stanson stood next to Lucas staring down at the soldiers marching away after the crates. Moments before he was asking about Lucas's scars but know he was silent. He took a side glance at Lucas who was slowly scrolling over the names. He took a deep breath "We believe…that if when we put colonist through to Terra Nova that they should not be…soldiers that are being recruited."

Lucas hummed in acknowledgement. He was in the 'L' section and so far most of the names had a military title to them. "How many people?" he did not need to elaborate on it.

"We…think if we send" Stanson paused and did a quick count on his fingers "11people through before the man with the bomb attached, Taylor's men will be less alert and ready with their guns."

Lucas slowly nodded "So tell me…why do I have this?"

Stanson stood up straight "There are few people on that list that are not soldiers we …trust you"-he said it like the word 'trust and Lucas' should never be in the same sentence-"to pick the write men out for the job."

Lucas had finally reached the 'W' section and his heart leapt in his throat at seeing a name that he had known and loved ever since he was 13. Lucas clicked on the name making double sure it was her. He turned and handed-more like threw-the plex-pad back into the man with the glasses hands. He stared down the short glasses man before taping the plex screen rapidly three times "As long as SHE is the first on to go through the portal I don't give a damn to whoever the hell goes through after her." He got a quick jerky nod from the man before he turned on his heel and quickly strode away.

After Lucas had turned the corner Stanson took two quick steps over to the man with glasses and tour the plex-pad out of his hands. He studied the name a quick moment he brow furrowing as he studied the girls profile. The name had no meaning to him but it obviously did to Lucas. He handed the plex-pad back to man with the glasses while saying "I don't know why but if you don't want your throat in two pieces I would suggest you MAKE her be the first one through."

The glasses man paled and quickly walked-ran- and towards the main control room. Once Stanson was the only one around he shook his head slowly and rubbed his eyes. The image behind them was the girls name that Lucas seemed so eager to get through the portal first.

Shadow Danni Washington.

MUHAHAHA…so review and you don't have to be nice and I actually welcome criticism a little more than compliments but they are both accepted with open arms and chocolate milk…man I must have really lost my mind now. yes I am aware that my writing is really repetitive of itself.

Oh and a random question for you people, I'm I the only one that pictures Ayani as a strawberry blond who wore pink sundress a lot?
