Caledon Hockley stood in his office, a gun in his head. He was going to take his own life. Ridiculous, right? A millionaire man, with three kids taking his own life.
Rose's death made him depressive. He knew that he wasn't good during their engagement. But he was going to marry her and fix the things when that gutter rat destroyed everything.
He took a last vision of his house where he and his wife Madeleine lived. He had married Madeleine Force after Astor's death. They had three kids Nathan Hockley and Rosalinda and Lauren Hockley.
After he pulled the trigger, Cal felt himself hovering and hovering. When he opened his eyes, he looked around and gasped. He was back at the Titanic.
"Cal. I wasn't expecting you so early" he heard a voice. He turned and saw no other than Jack Dawson. He looked the same.
"Am I-
"Dead? Yes. This is heaven. All people who died in Titanic are here. And people who were and survived will come too"
"Is Rose here?" Cal asked. Jack didn't answer, he kept staring at the clock.
"I'm sorry"
"Yeah very sorry" Jack laughed wiping his tears. "I see her every day. She kept my promise and she has married Mathew Calvert and she has a daughter and a son. My daughter and his son.
"Yours? So you had sex during Titanic"
"Yeah we had. I'm happy that Mathew is a good father. I don't want her to grow up without knowing what the meaning of the word 'father' is" Jack said.
For first time, Cal felt sympathy for him. He could understand his pain. He couldn't get imagine his kids calling dad another man.
His kids. How they'll react when they'll see him dead?
Cal and Jack went at first class deck and stared at the sea.
"The ship is going to start when all passengers will be back" Jack said.
Cal encouraged himself and asked Jack
"What's your daughter's name?"
Jack looked at Cal.
"Ashley Jacklyn Dawson. She is sixteen years old and she just got engaged. In a man named Nathan Hockley""What? He didn't tell me!"
"I know. He knew about your engagement with Rose"
Cal sighed.
"I was awful at Rose during our engagement right?"
Jack nodded.
"The only that matters is that you have regret it"
Cal extended his hand.
"Friends?"
Jack shooked it.
"Friends"
Sixty- eight years later:
Cal waited patiently besides Tommy Ryan and John Jacob Astor. Ruth, who had regretted for her behaviour too, had joined them at Heaven, fifty years before. She was waiting besides Fabrizio and Helga.
Cal glanced at the clock, where Jack was standing. He smiled at him.
Jack and Cal became friends and befriended other people in the ship too. Cal had never expected to be friends with third- class but people change. And he was far better person that he was in the Titanic.
Rose opened the door and entered inside. She was wearing a long, white dress and she looked stunning. She was surprised and scared to see Cal there but he just gived her a warm smile just like Ruth.
After Jack and Rose shared a passionate kiss with everyone clapping, they got for a walk to the first class decks.
"Jack what my Mother and Cal was doing there?"
"Cal came here before sixty eight years before and your Mother before fifty years. They both changed and regretted for what they did. Later, they'll ask you to forgive you"
A bit later, Rose was hugging her Mother and Cal and got married in the 'heaven' ship of dreams with Jack.
