Rose was standing against the stern of the Caripathia, with Jack, watching the moonlight glistening down on the waves. Rose smiled. She was free. Free from the confinements of first class. Free from her controlling, ignorant mother. But most importantly, she was free from her abusive, possessive fiancé. Although, now she considered him her ex-fiancé. She was going to live with Jack, her soul mate, for the rest of her life. At that moment, she was quite content.

"What are you thinking about?" Jack asked, noticing that she was deep in thought.

"Well, I was just thinking about how happy I am. I feel so free with you. I'm glad that when this ship docks I'm getting off with you and NOT Cal."

Jacks stretched into a huge grin."God, I love you so much, Rose." He kissed her passionately. A few moments later, Rose pulled her head away from Jack's.

"I love you too." She pressed her lips against his. "Jack?" Rose pulled away again.

"Yes?"

"Are you hungry?"

Jack smiled as he stroked Rose's curls. "Why, are you?" He gazed at her. Rose could tell by Jack's eyes that he was laughing inside.

"Sort of."

"Well, that's good. He chuckled. "'Cause I'm starving." Rose giggled. They proceeded toward the dining area hand in hand. They went up to the counter to get their food.

"We only have chicken noodle soup left." A cook exclaimed with a ladle in her hand.

"That's fine." Rose squeezed Jack's hand. He squeezed her hand in return. They had gotten their soup and were just sitting down in a booth when they heard a familiar voice.

"Rose? Jack?" Jack and Rose simotaniousley turned around. It was none other than Molly Brown. Or as history would soon call her, the unsinkable Molly Brown. Molly hugged them both. Jack and Rose were both very happy to see their friend, who had been so nice to them, before. "I didn't think that ya two survived. Tell me what happened after Rose refused to go on the boat.

So, both Jack and Rose told molly about Cal shooting towards them in the sinking ship. About, struggling for survival in the freezing, cold ocean. About, the promise that rose had made to Jack. When they had finished telling Molly their story, she was in tears.

"I have never heard something so terrible and so beautiful before. You two belong together." She was still in tears. Jack and Rose exchanged smiles for a moment, still hand in hand. Molly knew since the dinner on the titanic, that they belonged together. With the way that they looked at each other, there had to be something more than just friendship.

"Molly!" Rose looked at her with pleading eyes."Please don't tell my mother that I'm alive. If she finds out, then she'll drag me back to first class, and force me to marry Cal."

Molly chuckled "Of course not." You're not one of them, Rose. You're not stuck up and snooty. You know that there's more to life than having the most money. We both aren't like that. Never were, and never will be."

Rose smiled. "Thank you, Molly. Thank you so much. You don't know how much this means to me. To us."

"No problem darlin'." Molly smiled in return. Jack tried to change the subject.

So Molly, where are you planning to stay when this ship docks?"

"Well, I'm going back to my home in Colorado. I miss it. What about you two? Where are you staying?" Rose looked at Jack

"Well, we haven't thought about that yet. I'm sure that my ten bucks are gone now." He chuckled a little.

"Well, let me held you both out." Molly put a very large wad of one hundred dollar bills in Jack's hand.

"Oh no, we couldn't take this." Jack gave the wad back to molly.

"Nonsense! You guys are like family to me. I WANT you to take it. I won't take no for an answer. She gave the wad to Rose this time. Here's my address. She gave a piece of paper to Jack. She got up. You two are always welcome in my house. Come and visit and don't forget to write." She was halfway out the door.

"Don't worry, we will!" Rose screamed Molly waved before she left the doorway. After they had finished eating, Jack and Rose walked out to the deck. A porter, who was holding a clipboard, came up to them.

"Excuse me, can I have both your names please?"

Jack turned to the porter. Jack Dawson and rose D-"

"Dawson. Rose Dawson." Jack just looked down at Rose and gazed at her. "What?"

Jack was still gazing as the porter left. "You. You used my name!"

"Of course I used your name! What else should I use? I can't use Dewitt Buktar. Then my mother will know that I'm alive!

"That makes sense. And I'm glad you thought of that because I would have forgotten all about it. I don't know what I would do if they took you away from me. I love you, Rose. Rose smiled. Jack loved her smile. It made him feel the happiest he's ever felt. Even after such a horrible tragedy.

"I love you more!"

"I honestly don't think that's possible!"

"Liar." They began to kiss. It started out sweet but turned into a deeper, more passionate kiss. Now it was Jack's turn to pull away "Rose, would I ever lie to you?" Rose sighed. She had been defeated.

"I guess not." Rose looked around the ship. "Jack?"

"Yes?"

"Where are we going to sleep?"

"That's a good question." He paused for a moment. "c'mon.' He took Rose's hand as they began to walk around the deck of the Caripathia. They finally found a bench that they could sleep on. Jack wrapped his arms around Rose as they looked up at the stars. Rose was amazed. Her mother never really gave her a chance to really take a look at the night sky before.

"It's so… Beautiful." Jack looked down at her and kissed her forehead.

"Not as beautiful as you." Rose smiled. They looked back up at the stars. Jack remembered how close he was to losing rose forever. He cringed at the thought of rose dying in the cold, North Atlantic Ocean. He didn't know how he would have gone on without her. He didn't know how he lived nineteen years of his life not knowing her. She was all that mattered to him now. "How the hell did I get so lucky?" he thought. Rose had given up all the luxuries and comforts just so she can live the rest of her life with him. She was willing to change her entire lifestyle, just for him. Even though she hated her first class life and was willing to jump of the back of a boat to get away from it, it still meant so much to him. She risked her life to save him from a sinking. If it wasn't for her, he would be dead. Even if he never had met her, he would still probably be dead.

He was so relived that cal didn't see them before. He went down to steerage to search for Rose. He remembered the porter say.

"Sir, I don't think you will find any of your people her. This is all steerage." Cal ignored the porter as he continued to search the deck. Jack saw cal coming.

"Rose, hide your hair in the blanket." Rose looked confused.

"Why?"

Jack was very nervous when he spoke. "Just hide."

"But why?" Rose wanted an answer. "What is it?"

"It's Cal. Now please hide!" Rose hid Jack and herself in her blanket. They knew that if he saw just one fiery red curl, he would drag her right back into first class. Cal looked around for several minutes. He couldn't find her. He sadly and slowly walked back onto the first class deck. Jack was so relieved that he was finally gone. Those few minutes seemed like an eternity.

Jack was suddenly enraged! He hated Cal with a strong passion. He hurt rose! "That mother fucking bastard!" he thought. "How dare he." Cal didn't love Rose for her. Only for her looks. He did whatever he could to try to get rose to sleep with him. He was so glad that she didn't. That she was smarter than that." Jack brought his attention back to Rose

"Rose?" She didn't answer. He looked down at her. She fell asleep. Jack gazed at her. She was so beautiful. Her soft beautiful curls were a beautiful fiery red. He gently stroked them trying not to wake her. He kissed her forehead. Her skin was a beautiful creamy white. Her lips were so perfect. He wanted to trace the shape of them with his fingers, but he didn't want to risk waking her up. The only thing that was missing was her beautiful emerald green eyes.

Jack's thoughts wandered for awhile. He remembered Tommy and Fabrizio. Tommy was such a kind hearted man. He left all of his relatives to come to America. He was searching for a better life. He had a thick Irish accent and was such a good friend to him and Fabri.

And little Cora. He remembered drawing her and her father on the deck of titanic. That was the first time he ever saw Rose. He remembered dancing with her at the party on the titanic. She couldn't have died.

And Fabrizio. His best friend. They had been through so much together. His family took let him stay at their house for awhile. Then they decided to travel together. Fabri told him that he would go to America and become a billionaire. Jack could almost hear his voice "I can see the statue of liberty already! Very small of course! That was before. Before he had seen Rose. Before the tragedy happened.

They couldn't be dead. None of them could. They all had such big dreams about America. It seemed almost impossible for them to be dead.

Jack decided that it would be best if he got some sleep. He closed his eyes and soon after, he drifted into sleep.

Rose's eyes fluttered open. She woke up to see Jack's perfect face staring up at her. "Good Morning." Jack said with a grin on his face.

"Good Morning." She replied she looked up at him and smiled. Just then, a porter walked past them.

"Excuse Me." The porter turned around

"Yes?'

"You don't happen to have a survivors list, do you?"

"It's over there." The porter pointed to a list taped to a pole.

"Thank you." Jack said to the porter before he ran to see the list. He looked for Fabrizio

Sarah Deran

Joseph Dekar

Jessica Disota

He wasn't on the list. Next he looked for Tommy

Elizabeth Ryans

Rachel Ryclaf

He wasn't on the list either. Rose was now standing next to him, with concern on her face. He took a deep breath as he looked for Cora.

John Carls

Kathryn Cartla

Amanda Carzlan

No Cora Cartmell. Jack hid his head in his hands. Rose embraced him. "Jack…"

"It's fine. I'm fine. I'm a fighter remember?" Jack tried to smile. But rose could tell that Jack was most certainly wasn't fine

"Jack. It's okay for you to be upset." It's okay for you to cry. But don't say that you're fine and just brush it off. Because I know that you aren't." Jack Smiled a small smile. A real smile. He held Rose close to him.

"You're so amazing, you know that?" Rose smiled at him. C'mon. Let's go eat breakfast." Jack and rose each had oatmeal and a bagel for breakfast. Breakfast was silent, because of the earlier event that morning. After breakfast, they walked out from of the dining room and onto the deck. "So Jack I just realized something" She said formally.

"And what is that?" He spoke formally too.

"Well, we barely know anything about each other."

"What do you want to know?" he chuckled

"Tell me about your childhood."

"Okay. Umm let's see. I was born in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. When I was in fourth grade I had this teacher, Mrs. Wilson. She hated my guts. She thought I was a trouble maker.

Rose smiled. "Well were you?"

"Big Time." Rose giggled. One time I put a toad in her desk. When she saw it she screamed "Jack Dawson! I'm callin' your ma and pa and tellin' them all about this. She automatically blamed me!" He chuckled." Anyway, when I was 15 my parents died in a house fire. So I decided to travel around the world. Along the way I met an Italian boy named Fabrizio."A brief sadness appeared on his face. On April tenth 1912 we won tickets to the RMS Titanic in a lucky hand at poker. A very lucky hand. While I was on the ship I met a woman.

Rose smiled."Oh really? Is that so?"

"Yup. The girl was trying to commit suicide by jumping off the back of the boat. But guess what?"

"What?"

"I knew she wouldn't have jumped."

"Really now?" rose said in fake shock!

"Uh huh."

"What happens next?"

"We fell in love. And then guess what happened?"

"What?"

I was framed for stealing a necklace from her by her bastard of a fiancé. But I didn't do it. He put it in my pocket. Then the ship sunk. And the beautiful woman rescued me. I was so afraid that I would lose her forever. But now she's safe with me." Rose smiled. "So Rose tell me about your childhood.

Rose giggled. "Well, I was raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. When I was 15 I was sent to finishing school. I hated it! It was full of snooty people who only cared about money. When I was 16, I met a man named Cal. Long story short, he proposed I agreed only for my mother. Then I went on the RMS Titanic. I met a boy. He was beyond handsome." Jack blushed. "He was an amazing artist." He saved me in more ways than one. I love him so much. I always will. No matter what."

They talked the entire day away. Then they finally docked in New York.

"Welcome to New York, Rose." Jack whispered into Rose's ear.

Welcome Home, Jack." Just then, a porter made an announcement.

"All Titanic survivors can stay at the Michal Smith hotel, for free until they settle in somewhere else."

So Jack and Rose got a hotel sweet. It was a very nice hotel room, with one bedroom, a sitting room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. Although Jack was much more impressed with it than Rose was.

"So Rose Dawson. What do you want to do now?"

"I think you know." Rose said while playing with one of Jack's suspenders. Then they went into the bedroom to explore the wonders of each other's bodies.
