Rose came to a few minutes later with Jack and several people by her side.

"Rose. Rose! Wake up! Are you okay? Rose, speak to me!"

Her eyes fluttered open and she saw fuzzy images of people. Jack was speaking to her. Once her eyes adjusted, she tried to get up but failed.

"Just stay here and rest for a minute, Rose."

"Wha…what happened? I looked up towards the yelling…and I saw Molly. And…my mother!"

Jack found out that Ruth was there, but he didn't want Rose to faint again so he said nothing.

"Let's get you up and to your dressing room."

Jack picked her up and carried her to her dressing room.

"Can someone please get her some water!"

One of the extras brought a glass of cold water for Rose to sip.

She drank the water and closed her eyes. Once the room stopped spinning and she knew she wouldn't fall again she looked to Jack.

"Jack, what's going on."

Jack let out a breath and put his hands through his sandy hair.

"Well…you know how you saw your mother on the balcony with Molly?"

"Yes…"

"Well it's like this Rose…she's…she's…"

Before Jack could say anything more, Ruth opened the door and slammed it so nobody was in the room but her, Jack and Rose. The children were being looked after by Molly.

Rose stood up.

"Mother!"

Instead of being happy that her daughter was alive, she had a horrible look on her face and walked over to Rose. She stared at her for a moment, then to Jack.

She slapped Rose across the cheek.

Rose looked away while touching her cheek that was turning red. She was about to hit Rose again when Jack was behind her and grabbed her hand.

"If you think you are going to hit Rose, you have another thing comin' lady!"

"Let go of me, you…you…steerage boy!

He let go of her arm but made sure she wouldn't go after Rose again. He lifted Rose's head up with his hand.

"Are you okay?"

"I'll be okay, Jack."

He held her protectively in his arms. Ruth looked disgusted.

"So this…this is what you've been doing? You jump off a lifeboat because you can't 'live' without him and you would rather die with him. You escape the Titanic somehow and…and…don't even put your name on the survivor list and you're with him now? He's ruined our lives!"

Rose had enough of her mother and now had a voice to put her in her place, just as she did on the Titanic.

Will the lifeboats be seated according to class? I hope they're not too crowded.

Oh Mother, shut up! Don't you understand? The water is freezing and there aren't enough boats. Not enough by half. Half the people on this ship are going to die.

"He has not ruined our lives. He saved my life! More than once! But you could never see it because you were too busy trying to marry me off to Cal!"

Rose had had enough. She hadn't told anyone about Jack and Rose had met. But it was going to be known now.

"You remember that night that I met Jack? When I almost fell into the Atlantic while I was looking at the propellers?"

"Well yes, of…"

"Yes, well I wasn't looking at the propellers. I was going to jump off! I couldn't bear the thought of being married to Cal. I didn't love him Mother! He abused me, emotionally and physically. Jack saved me. I fell in love with Jack. He showed me a different world, Mother. I couldn't just leave the ship without him."

"But Mr. Hockley had told me that he offered a boat for Jack."

"Do you honestly believe that, Mother?"

Ruth didn't know what to say.

"We waited until the end. We held on until the ship went down. We couldn't find each other when we both resurfaced. A man was trying to drown me because he was so frightened. Jack found me and we swam to a door. It wouldn't hold both of us so Jack insisted that I get on and he would stay in the water. Eventually, a boat did come back and thankfully Jack was still alive. I was able to get the boat over and we were saved and brought to the Carpathia. I took Jack's last name because at that time I was not Rose Dewitt-Bukater anymore. She died when the Titanic went down. We have a life together now. We are married and have beautiful twin girls."

Ruth had tears in her eyes as she put her hand to her mouth.

Rose didn't know whether her mother was being sincere or not.

"I…I…have grandchildren?"

"Yes, Josephine and Cora."

Rose sighed.

"And if you want to be part of our lives…and theirs…you better stop with his damn…steerage boy business and try to be a part of us.

Ruth stared at them for a moment and put her hand back down.

"All I can do is try."

Rose couldn't be mad that Molly hadn't told her the truth. It was a delicate situation and Molly probably was waiting for the right time.

Ruth still eyed Jack as though he were an insect that needed to be squashed.

Jack didn't say anything. Maybe she would change…maybe she wouldn't but that would be Rose's decision whether to have her in their lives.

"Rose, I think its best we get the girls and we go home…it's been a long day."

Rose nodded.

"Mother, I will call tomorrow and maybe we can meet."

"That would be splendid."

Rose left with Jack to get their girls from Molly, leaving Ruth standing there still in shock.

They got to Molly and saw the girls standing there, not sure what was going on.

"Are you okay, mommy?"

"Yes, mommy is okay. It was just a little accident but everything is fine now."

Molly looked at Jack and Rose, not knowing what to say.

"Jack, Rose…I'm…sorry. I should've…"

"Molly it's okay. We understand. You were just waiting for the right time to tell us. I can appreciate you trying to keep the situation calm."

She hugged Jack and Rose and then the girls.

"Good night girls, I'll see you soon. Well, I guess I better go get Ruth and head on home."

She left towards Ruth as the family left towards home. It was a quiet ride home. Once they were in their home, they got the girls ready for bed and headed for their bedroom.

They lay down and both were quiet.

"Do you really think she has changed, Jack? I don't know what to believe…"

Jack looked at her and rested his head on his hand.

"I really don't know, Rose. It seems as though she might try but it will take time."

She snuggled into Jack. She didn't know what the coming days, and months would bring but as long as she had Jack…it would be alright.
