Prologue
Fifteen year old Jack Dawson was babysitting his little sister, Gabby, who was three. She had fallen asleep, curled up in front of the fire. As it was getting late, he was gonna carry her into the next room that they shared, and put her to bed.
There was a knock at the door and he got up and walked over and opened the door. There was a police officer there. He was a friend of his fathers. His name was Officer John Williams.
Jack stood back to let him in. "Is something wrong, John?" he asked.
John sat down. "Jack, come here."
Jack sat down next to him.
John looked at him and said, "There's been an accident. Your parents…they were killed."
Jack jumped up. "No. They can't be."
"Son, it is them. I made sure."
"H-how?"
"There was a fire…"
Jack closed his eyes.
"You and Gabby will have to go to an orphanage."
"No. I won't go. And neither will she. I'll take care of her."
"Jack-"
"She's my sister- my only family. I'll look after her."
"Son, you can't. The law says orphans under sixteen must go to an orphanage."
"I'll be sixteen next month."
"She'll still be three."
"I'll pull her out. I'm her family and will be of age."
"Are you sure you want to take care of her? She can cause trouble…"
"She's my sister. I won't abandon her."
So yeah, Jack has a little sister who'syounger than him. They'll go to an orphanage for a month or so, and Jack will be her guardian. Jack will be nineeen on Titanic and she'll be six.
