Chapter 2:Jack and Jill
"Mother, are we going to see Uncle Cal?" Rose's son who turned six today asked.
"Yes Jack, now, where is Jillian?" Jillian was Jacks' twin sister. They both had blonde hair and blue eyes, but Jack looked like his…father, while Jillian(or Jill) looked more like Rose in the features.
"Oh, Aunt Felicity is helping her with her dress. She couldn't get the zipper to zip up."
"Oh, well, I hope that they hurry, I still have to get the cake."
"Yay, CAKE!" Rose laughed at her son's cheerfulness. He was so much like his father. If only he had survived.
"MOTHER! I'M READY!" Jill was barreling down the stair case ready to hug her mother with her arms spread out wide. She was wearing a white dress with a sky blue sash and the hem of the dress was the same sky blue. Her hair was neatly curled and lay in tight ringlets at her shoulders.

Jack Jr. wore a black suite that Cal had bought him and his hair was combed back and jelled. While living in Cal's house we had rules to fallow. One of which were if weren't going to wear formal cloths every day like he does, we had to wear them on special occasions.
Felicity came down stairs in a beautiful dark blue dress. It had a white design on the stomach and that was it. Her blonde hair was wavy and hung around her shoulders and she wore large hoop earrings.
Finally, Rose sighed in content and studied herself in the mirror one last time. Her hair was curled and in a half up do with a diamond comb to hold her curls. Her dress was sleeveless, and was red and white with a diamond at the top.

Rose felt like she was going to a wedding, or special dance. She was supposed to. Jill had wanted a 'Prince & Princess Ball' themed birthday. JR, (I'm gunna call Jack Jr. JR from now on okay?) had agreed because it was having prince's in it.
"Well, let's go."
They set off to the store and when they got there the immediately found Cal, who had gotten rid of the stick up his ass, thanks to Felicity and decided to get a job at the market even though he didn't need the money. They picked up Cal and on their way out, Rose happened to glance toward the fruit area and saw a fairly young man with short blonde hair stalking the shelves. Rose got teary eyed; he looked so much like Jack.
She held her tears in though and they all went to the party. Children laughed and played, sang silly songs and danced. The record they were playing was old Disney songs. (I have no idea who was in charge of Disney when this came out, so please humor me.) The song playing was cheery and Rose found herself singing along with it.
How pleasant, bobbing along
Bobbing along on the bottom of the beautiful briny sea
What a chance to get a better peep
At the plants and creatures of the deep
We glide
Far below the rolling tide
Serene
Through the bubbly blue and green
It's lovely, bobbing along
Bobbing along on the bottom of the beautiful briny sea
What if the octopus
The flounder and the cod
Think we're rather odd
It's fun to promenade
Bobbing along, singing a song
On the bottom of the beautiful briny sea
Look!
It's lovely, bobbing along
Bobbing along on the bottom of the beautiful briny sea
What a chance to get a better peep
At the plants and creatures of the deep
It's grand
When you're dancing on the sand
Each glance
Bubbles over with romance
It's lovely, bobbing along
Bobbing along through the water where we get along swimmingly
Far from the frenzy
Of the frantic world above
Two beneath the blue
Could even fall in love
Bobbing along, singing a song
On the bottom of the beautiful briny sea
Bobbing along, singing a song
On the bottom of the beautiful briny
Shimmering shiny, beautiful briny sea
Rose felt joy for the first time in a long time in that moment. Her children laughed as they started a Ring-Around-The-Rosie game. Today had been a joyful and sorrowful day for her. Sorrowful, because it had been six years since the Titanic, joyful, because she had her children, and they were happy.
