Its night-time aboard the Keldysh. Everything is silent only the sounds of the crashing waves could be heard. The crew had long gone to bed and so have I, at least my physical self has; tired and worn from the many years I've spent. My spirit was free to wander along the decks of the ship. My long red hair and my snow white dress blew freely against the wind as I bid my final farewells to this world. It's almost hard to let go but someone is waiting for me and I am no longer required to stay. It's strange; 84 years ago I contemplated death. I wanted nothing more than to abandon this life and be with my true love, Jack forever; but now I am happy to have made that promise so many years ago. I fell in love again with my wonderful husband Ben Calvert and raised a family. I've traveled the world, met different people, and even became the actress I've always wanted to be. I've done things I never would've even dreamed I would be doing in a million years. I would thank Jack every day for helping me make all of this possible; I could've never done this without his love and inspiration. Even though our romance was short lived and fate decided to separate us, Jack had never left my side. The love I felt for him grew more and more with each passing day and it remained so for 84 years.
As I continue on my stroll I stumble upon Lizzy's room. She's sound asleep. She lays face-up against her pillow; her arm draped off the side of the bed and the comforter resting just below her waist showing off her lithe form. I sit beside her, watching her for several moments and I smile. I'm so happy to have had her for a granddaughter so fiery and headstrong just like her mother and I. I'm going to miss her. "I love you, Lizzy" I whisper in her ear. I kiss her softly on the cheek and pull the covers up over her shoulders. She stirs slightly but never wakens.
I make my way back to my room only to catch a glimpse of Brock out the corner of my eye. He was over looking the sea lost in thought.
"He's a good man," I thought, "filled with hopes and dreams just like so many of us, his heart was just in the wrong place at the time. I do hope he finds what he's looking for in life even if it isn't the Heart of the Ocean."
I'm back in my room once again and I see myself lying very still. Its time for me to go now and I'm ready to depart. I'm proud of myself for what I accomplished; I've had the chance to live and to me that is the greatest thing anyone could ever ask for. I look at the photographs on the dresser; each one holding a special memory of me: horseback riding into the surf, my husband and I wrestling with our kids on the beach, piloting an airplane, and my acting photograph, I've done it all and more.
I feel myself ascending; my physical form is disappearing before my eyes. I'm traveling through a long and dark abyss until something catches my eye, it's the wreck of the Titanic and I'm getting closer to it, gaining speed. I've had dreams like this many times before but this time was different. I traveled through what looked like the old decks of the ship; however it no longer looked like the inside of a dark and dreary cave. Everything was transforming back into its rich and pristine state. I kept moving until I turned towards the first class doors. Two stewards greet me and open them as I continue walking onward. To my surprise I see everyone here, all of the passengers surrounding the Grand Stair Case as if they were all waiting for my return. A pathway has been cleared allowing me through. I recognize some of them, the first class band, Cora, Tommy, Fabrizio, Helga, and Mr. Andrews. All of them are here; but the one face I longed to see for many years stood at the very top of the stairs. His back is turned until he finally turns to greet me. That piercing blue gaze, golden blonde locks, handsome smile, and those simple overalls belonged to none other than Jack Dawson. I almost couldn't believe he was only standing two feet in front of me but my heart soared at the sight of him. He stretched out his hand and I reached out placing my hand in his. He pulls me towards him, his hand placed on the small of my back. We gaze at each other for a moment and then he kisses me slowly, passionately, and with growing intensity. The fires that have sparked our love long ago have never dimmed. I feel his heart beat, I know this is real. I've heard stories of princesses that find their prince charming and live happily ever after and now I've finally gotten mine. I'm finally home where I belong; this is where I want to be, forever locked in this embrace, transcending death and time. The sounds of people clapping echo behind me. A bright light engulfs us, taking us up and beyond into the abyss.
