Chapter 10

Rose was frozen in her doorway, with Cal staring right at her. The only thing that she could think to do was tell her daughters, "Sweeties, do to Cora's room and play or something" Her daughters ran out of the hallway into the living room.

Rose finally found her voice and said, "Cal, what in the hell do you think you are doing here?"

"I overheard somebody saying that they thought they saw Rose Dewitt-Bukater walking into this apartment, so I came to look for you. And whose children were those girls...obviously not mine...you never even kissed me", Cal asked angrily.

"They're Jack's"

"You little whore! Where is the gutter rat?" Cal asked right before he slapped her.

"He died on Titanic...and just so you know, he died saving me! I suggest you leave now or I will call security", Rose threatened him.

"That little brown haired girl can't be yours because she is way too old to be your daughter", Cal persisted.

"I adopted her after the sinking...not like it's any of you business. Leave now!"

"That bastard gutter rat! I can't believe you had kids with him! You only knew him for three days! You knew me for a year and you wouldn't even kiss me!"

"He is much for human than you will ever be so don't call him a bastard. He also has a name– Jack– so stop calling him the 'gutter rat' because if you call him that again, I swear, I will kill you. Also, he loved me and I loved him, but you only wanted me to show around as your possession and as you may already know, I hated you and only got engaged to you for my mother. And I did that because I was afraid of what would happen if I didn't get engaged to you. But Jack freed me and he showed me what love is. He made me brave enough to reject you! And I will always love him for that", Rose said proudly.

"Rose...you are such a whore. Also, your children are shit and will grow up to be just like you and Jack. Whore's and gutter rats!", Cal screamed at her.

"Say all you want about me, but don't you dare say anything about my daughters or Jack"

"I must return to Philadelphia now, but I will be back" Cal said. He was about to make one more comment but Rose slammed the door in his face and ran to the living room, where her she saw Cora trying to comfort Jackie and Josephine, who kept asking if their Mummy was okay.

"Don't worry girls. Mummy will be okay and Cal will never hurt you. I promise", Rose assured her daughters.

"Mummy, he said that he's coming back for us!", Josephine said quietly.

"I know. But, I was planning to buy a house anyways. It's right next to the one that Elizabeth, her mother, and her brother just moved into", said Rose.

The three young girls got excited and Cora asked, "We are moving next to Elizabeth, Mummy?"

"Yes, Cora. On my way back from work a couple days ago, I looked at the house next to theirs because it's for sale. It's at a price that we can afford and is very nice. Also, I know Elizabeth is Cora's best friend, so I thought she would especially love to live near her", Rose told her excited daughters.

Cora, Jackie, and Josephine shouted and got up and cheered. Rose smiled at her beautiful daughters. "I am glad you guys are excited, but it's almost midnight. It's time for my lovely girls to go to bed, and Mummy has to go to work tomorrow"

Her daughters went to their rooms and Rose tucked them into their beds. Rose went to her own room and cried herself to sleep that night. She cried for Jack and for her daughters that would never see their father again.

She sang to herself before she went to sleep:

"Come Josephine in my flying machine going up she goes, up she goes. Balance yourself like a bird on a beam. In the air she goes, there she goes! Up, up just a little bit higher. Oh, my! The moon is on fire. Hop in Miss Josephine, into my flying machine!"

Then she fell asleep, dreaming of Jack.
