An Unbearable Loss - Chapter 4

Together Again

Authors Notes: Sorry this chapter came so late, I've just been very busy recently with college courses and also learning to drive, this story sort of took a back burner to everything else. There's just one chapter left that I have written, I have lost nearly all my interest in Titanic that I had so its becoming harder to be enthusiastic in continuing this story. As I said there is a chapter 5 but after that, well don't hold your breath. Also a huge thank you to my 3 or 4 reviews that I had, I know my story would probably be better on a hard disk and burned somewhere but its nice that you people wrote and said you liked it anyway. So thanks again!

"Rose?" he said again, his voice more constricted as tears were falling rapidly down his face. She heard her name being called, how did this person know her ?

"Who is it," she thought to herself. Rose turned her head in the direction of the voice and saw a face she thought she would never see again. Jack.

"Jack?" she whispered with disbelief.

"Rose!" Jack shouted and embraced her so hard that all the air was pushed out of her lungs. "Oh God Jack! Jack! Oh my god, I thought you were dead, I thought I lost you" Rose cried to him, tears pouring out of her eyes. Jack pulled away and held her face in his hands and looked at her adoringly.

"My God Rose, I thought I lost you too. I didn't see your name on the list" he said to her through his tears of joy. "That's because I changed my name, its Dawson now Jack, Rose Dawson" she sobbed happily. He was amazed and ecstatic. "Dawson? You took my name?" Jack smiled and pulled her into his arms once again and kissed her on the lips. "I love you Rose, I love you so much" he said after he kissed her and looked in her eyes. "I love you to Jack, more than anything in the world" Rose cried and hugged him again.

Mary walked along the passageway towards the Infirmary. There wasn't much help needed on deck, just a few more blankets and cups of tea to hand out. When she reached the opening she heard some ruckus coming from inside. She peered in and saw Jack hugging and kissing the woman who came in earlier. Mary gasped!

"And what exactly is going on in here?" she enquired, staring intently at Jack. Jack and Rose were surprised at the intrusion and looked at Mary.

"Mary, this is Rose, I told you about her earlier", he said while looking at Rose. "But you said she was dead!" Mary stuttered out. "I thought she was too, but she's not. I couldn't find her because she took my name" Jack said and kissed her forehead.

"Well, that's cleared a few things up for me", she walked over to Rose's bed. "I'm Mary O'Neil, the nurse" she said while shaking Rose's hand. "Rose, its nice to meet you Mary" she answered, and smiled. "Are you feeling okay? A steward brought you in here unconscious, apparently you fainted on deck, can you remember anything?" Mary asked, she sat on the other side of the bed.

"Not much I'm afraid I was just standing on the deck and then the next thing I knew I woke up in here" Rose said her hand firmly clasped in Jack's. "Well I came back to tell you Jack that we are going to dock in half an hour, and to see if you have woken up" Mary remembered, and looked at both of them. "I'll go back on deck so you two can get dressed and prepare to disembark" she said and left them alone again. "You ready to go Rose Dawson?" Jack smiled at Rose. "More than ever Jack, more than ever" she whispered back and kissed him.
