"Jack there's a boat! Jack there's a boat!" Rose shook Jack but he remained lifeless. She let a single tear fall before letting go of his hand. She needed to get back to the boat and as hard as it was to let go of Jack, it would be harder to break the promise she made him. She swam over to the man with the whistle and blew it hard, trying to get the boat's attention. Someone finally heard her and came back to get her. She was freezing and shaking all over. She couldn't feel any of the muscles in her legs and arms and her face had also gone completely numb. Her vibrant red hair was now frozen into a deep, dark red. She wanted so bad to slip into the murky darkness below but she knew she only needed to hold on a few more minutes and she would be saved.

An oar came in her direction but she didn't have the strength to lift her arm and grab it. She tried numerous times but she just couldn't get her arm high enough. One of the men leaned over and grabbed her by the waist, lifting her slowly out of the water and into the boat. A blanket was placed around her and she managed to mumble a thanks before she lay down on the seat. She was about to fall to sleep when she heard the faintest cry. She lifted her head and searched for the source, discovering that it was coming from a small bundle on the seat opposite her. She picked up the bundle and examined it. Inside the large blanket was a small baby. Its face was a light blue from the cold of the water and its skin was freezing to touch, even through the blanket. She cuddled the baby in close to her chest and lay back down on the seat. She fell asleep to the images of Jack's smiling face playing through her head.

Jack swam back up to the surface of the water. He cleared the water from his eyes and started searching for Rose. His head hurt and he couldn't feel any part of his body. He continued his search for Rose. She wasn't on the piece of wood or anywhere near. He considered the fact that she might be dead but he didn't want to believe it. Not his warm, loving, strong Rose. She wouldn't have died, not like this. He got up on the piece of wood. He needed to stay out of the water if he was going to survive. He needed to stay alive in case Rose was alive somewhere and needed him.

He closed his eyes and lay his head down on the wood. He wanted to sleep so badly, he was so tired.

"Stay awake Jack!" He whispered to himself.

From the corner of his eye he saw a light. He lifted his head and saw that a boat had come to rescue them. He swam into the water and starting swimming towards it. It was only a few feet away. One of the men in the boat saw him and ordered them to halt. Jack swam faster towards the boat, every stroke was painfully, a pain that spread throughout his whole body. But he eventually reached the side of the boat and lifted himself up. A man placed a blanket around him. Jack grabbed him by the hand. "Have you gotten any women out of the water?"

The man shook his head. "No we haven't but we are the second boat to come back. Maybe the first one did."

Jack spirits lifted. Maybe, just maybe Rose was on that other boat and had been saved before he had. He gathered the blanket closer around him and lay down on the seat. A smile on his face.

"Miss wake up. Miss!"

Rose woke and looked at the man. She studied his features, he wasn't Jack. She let out a sigh and sat up, the baby still in her arms. She checked its pulse and found a faint one. It appeared that she now had a baby to look after.

"Miss we have been saved by another ship. You have to board the ship." He pointed to a rope ladder that had been lowered over the side of the ship next to them. Rose climbed up the ladder and reached the deck. She held the baby close to her chest and searched for Jack through the crowd of people in front of her but he was nowhere to be seen.

"Miss Rose?" Rose turned and found Cora standing next to her.

"Cora are you okay?"

Cora sobbed. "I can't find daddy!" Rose lent down and hugged her.

"Stay with me Cora. We will find him." She held out her free hand and Cora grabbed it. She wandered the deck with Cora in one hand and the baby in the other. She knew that there was a slim chance that Jack had survived. She knew deep, down that he was dead. She had watched him sink into the ocean. But she still looked for him. Somehow hoping that maybe he had been okay and had been saved. But as far as she knew, her boat had been the only one that had picked anyone up. It was unlikely that he had been saved. She cried at the thought of him slowly sinking into the dark ocean below. All alone.

Jack pushed people out of his way. Where was she? She had to have been saved. He wouldn't believe that she had died.

"ROSE! ROSE!" Jack shouted as he continued his search but he got no answer.

"Jack?" Jack knew that voice.

"Fabrizio?"

"Jack I am so happy you are alive!" They embraced.

"But how did you survive?" Asked Jack.

"I could ask the same thing of you. Luck! All luck Jack!"

"Well luck did bring us both here and brought us to the Titanic!" Jack smiled. "You haven't seen Rose have you?"

Fabrizio shook his head. "No sorry Jack. Rose missing?"

Jack nodded. "I just wish I knew what had happened to her. If I knew she was dead for certain then that would be one thing but I don't know if she is safe or dead or sick. It's killing me Fabrizio."

Fabrizio nodded. "Sorry Jack. How about some rest and we look for her in the morning?"

Jack agreed. He was extremely tired and if she was safe she wasn't going to go anywhere. "We shall look for her then."

Fabrizio headed towards the rooms. But Jack couldn't help but feel guilty for giving up on his dear Rose so quickly. He sighed and followed after Fabrizio.
