Chapter Fourteen
It was now Christmas morning, 1912. Jack and Rose were still asleep.
Jack woke up first and looked over at his wife. She looked so peaceful sleeping, but he couldn't help himself.
"Rose! Wake up!"
"Hmm?" Rose mumbled.
"Rose! It's Christmas morning!"
Rose finally opened her eyes and saw her beautiful husband smiling at her.
"Jack...please just another few minutes!" Rose whined.
"Rose...it's Christmas! Santa Clause came!" Jack said like a little kid.
"Oh, Jack I..."
Before Rose could finish Jack put his finger over her mouth. "No excuses, Rose," he said as he gave Rose a kiss.
They walked hand in hand to the downstairs living room. It was around nine o'clock and they and Monica and Fred all bought gifts for each other.
"Merry Christmas," Fred said as he saw them come down the stairs.
"Merry Christmas," Rose replied.
"Rose," Monica said as she came up by her friend. "We've got presents to open."
They all sat down around Fred and Monica's tree.
Everyone gathered all their presents. Everyone had three to open.
"Who goes first?" Monica asked.
"Um...let's all go at the same time," Fred said.
They all opened one of their gifts.
"Oh my gosh, Monica. It's beautiful!" Rose said as she looked at the butterfly earrings she got Rose.
They all opened the rest of their presents. All that was left was for Jack to open Rose's.
Jack opened it up and in the big box was a little piece of paper. He looked at it, confused. Then, he read it. It said:
Jack, you're going to be a daddy.
"Rose..."
Rose smiled at him.
"What does it say, Jack?" Fred asked.
"I'm gonna be a daddy?" Jack asked.
Rose nodded her head.
"Yahoo!" Jack yelled as he took Rose into his arms and kissed her all over.
"Rose, you're pregnant?" Monica asked. "Oh, my gosh!"
They were all very excited about it. Rose found out about it a few days ago at the doctor.
"Thank you, Rose, for the best Christmas present a guy could ever ask for!"
"I love you, Jack."
"I love you, too."
