Theme Song: "Iris" ~ Goo Goo Dolls

As Jack lied beside Rose in the bed after making love with her, he looked at her while she slept. GOD, she was beautiful in her sleep, he thought as he brushed the hair back from her eyes. He reached down and kissed her on the forehead. He sighed with a troubled look and realized what he had done. He had broken the rules of heaven. He had revealed himself—his TRUE self to Rose, and he wasn't supposed to. He quietly got up out of bed and dressed. He had to talk to David and he had to talk to David now.

As Jack walked the streets of New York, he went looking for David—everywhere, anywhere, and as Jack sat down at a bench on a New York street, there David appeared sitting beside him. David stared at him with a serious expression.

"What did you do Jack Dawson?" David asked in an almost scary tone.

Jack looked at David with saddened eyes.

"She—she knows who I am now." Jack said in a sad, low tone.

David looked away and gave an expression that said he already knew of this news.

"It all happened so fast, I was with her and I don't know how it happened, I guess it was because of, like you said wanting—"

David interrupted.

"No it happened from an over-obsessed mixture of emotions." David said almost coldly.

Jack frowned at David with confusion.

"What do you mean?" Jack asked.

David sighed.

"I MEAN," David started, "When you have a wide range of emotions, working all at the same time and they're working so hard that you feel almost overwhelmed, it overthrows any other power that has been put upon you."

"Like the power of her not being able to see me." Jack said, while staring at David.

"Bingo." David said flatly. "Its going to cost you and her a big consequence, maybe not now but later."

Jack sighed as tears filled his eyes, he then closed his eyes.

"I—I truly love being an angel, David." Jack said with a slight frown. "I—I truly do, I mean, I LOVE heaven, but I—I just feel so—I'd give up forever to touch her, just truly—HUMANLY touch her one more time." Jack said with an almost tearful voice. "She's the closest to heaven that I've been next to, since I left heaven and now that I'm back around her, in her presence again, I don't want to leave her. I—I just don't."

David stared at Jack directly with a serious expression.

"Well you DO have a choice, Jack." David said seriously. "We like to call it, the Der Himmel."

Jack frowned as he shook his head and wiped tears away.

"Der Himmel, that sounds German," Jack said. "What's that about?"

David sighed and contemplated on whether he should tell Jack what 'Der Himmel' actually meant. He knew it would be a world-changing meaning for Jack.

David looked at Jack with an eyebrow raised.

"It means one simple thing," David said. "You're given a choice as an angel. You can either remain an angel and finish with the task of helping her cope and heal from her grief over your loss and then at the end of the task, say goodbye to Rose and never see her again, until her own life here on Earth is over and she joins you in heaven—or you can chose to become human again, and be with Rose again, in joy and love and—all that other stuff, but its your choice, Jack."

Jack stared at David with intense eyes. Here he truly WAS faced with a dilemma. Should he give up the warm, enjoyable, loving, free-spirit life he had as a heavenly angel? Or should he give up everything heavenly and angelic to be with the woman whom he loved more than he loved his own self? The woman whom he felt was the other half of his decision should Jack Dawson choose?
