Jack helped Rose onto the cabinet

Jack helped Rose onto the cabinet. He tried to get on himself, but that caused the cabinet to flip. He swam to Rose's side, shivering. As they held hands, Rose noticed Jack's shivering grow. She nudged him gently.

"Jack?" she whispered. Jack looked at her eyes. "Join me?"

Jack shook his head; she knew the cabinet would tip over again if he tried.

"Jack, please. Just try again; we'll be warmer together. Please?"

He looked at her pleading eyes and knew that he couldn't refuse. He gently tried to come aboard the floating cabinet again. It tottered dangerously. He paused but Rose gave his hand a reassuring squeeze. He lifted him self further. He did it. He lay down panting and shivering on top of Rose's body. It wasn't comfortable for wither of them, but he felt the warmth slowly returning to his body. She had been right.

"I'm, s-so cold." She whispered.

"We-we're together now, keeping, each other w-warm. They'll be back soon. They, they just, just need to, regroup. Th-that's all."

"I love you, Jack."

"No...Don't say your good-byes, Rose. Don't you give up. Don't do it."

"We're going to get out of this...we're going to go on die old, warm in our bed. Not here. Not this night. Do you understand me?"

"I can't feel my body."

"Rose, listen to me. Listen. Winning that ticket is the best thing that ever happened to me. It brought me to you. And I'm thankful, Rose. I'm thankful,"

"Never let go."

"I promise. I will never let go, Jack. I'll never let go."

They lay in silence.

"Come Josephine, in my flying machine and it's up she goes...up she goes…" Rose began singing softly.

Jack was slowly drifting off to sleep. He chuckled gently. He felt a peaceful feeling come over him. He wouldn't be cold anymore.

"Jack?" He snapped out of his stupor. He couldn't leave her now. He promised that they'd get through this. Together.

"Jack? Sing with me?"

He began singing along weakly at first. Both of them slowly growing stronger as the time passed. Suddenly, they heard shouting in the distance.

"They're back." He whispered, hardly believing it. "Rose!" She smiled up at him as they both began singing even louder this time. The boat made its way towards the singing, smiling couple. They were both pulled out of the water and wrapped with blankets, and they just continued to sing their song. Holding hands.

Aboard the Carpathia, Jack and Rose sat in steerage, still holding hands. The officer came by to take their names. Jack answered.

" Jack Dawson, and Rose De—"

"Dawson." She interrupted "Rose Dawson."

The officer walked away and the two sat looking at each other.

"I hope you don't mind," Rose whispered softly and shyly.

"Not at all," Replied Jack with a huge smile etched on his face "Mrs. Dawson."

AN/ I had another idea for how this story was to go, if anyone wants me to write that. But it's awfully similar. The part in italics is an optional ending.
