They were seated at a table and ordered what they wanted. While waiting Jack put his hand in his pocket to make sure he hadn't forgotten the ring. He gave a silent sigh of relief even though he had checked it numerous times while on their way to the restaurant. He looked at Rose through the candle on the table, she was smiling as she listened to the music of the orchestra. He took in a long breath and let it out and got up. Rose had noticed Jack leaving his seat and looked at him, then watched him get down on one knee. "Rose.." he began as he tried to hide the nervousness in his voice and in his face. "Rose I love you, I can't imagine myself with anyone else. We've known each other for only a short time I know but, with all that we've been though, I know that we can survive a marriage. I'd love it, if you'd do me this honor and be my wife.". He looked at her his heart racing, not sure if she'd say yes or no, if she'd get mad and storm out, or if she'd question him. Those few moments seemed like hours to Jack, before Rose nodded tears in her eyes as she told him "Yes, yes of course I will Jack!" He grinned and slipped the ring on her finger and kissed her gently.

Jack was amazed that she wanted to marry him, a simple boy from Wisconsin. Just then he heard a familiar voice "Well if that doesn't make my evening just a damn bit better!" He turned around to see fellow Titanic passenger, and survivor Molly Brown right in front of them. "Molly!" he smiled and got up and gave her a hug. "I knew there was something going on between the two of you from the moment I saw you two spittin' out into the ocean like a couple of untrained animals!" She smiled and gave Rose a hug. "Molly it's so lovely to see you...does my..my mother know I'm alive?" she asked becoming concerened, not about the well being of the woman who gave birth to her, but if she'd have to be back in her life once more. Molly just shook her head "Haven't seen the ole broad since the damn lifeboat. Once we were onboard the Carpathia she went her way, and I went mine! Rose I tell you, how you and her can be related is something only those brainy scientist will ever figure out!" She smiled, she knew Rose was disgusted of how Ruth was, and how she treated her. Molly Brown may have been what you'd call "new money" but she didn't let it go to her head. She treated everyone equal, even when they didn't deserve it, and wasn't afraid to speak her mind. They exchanged addresses and planned to meet up later on in the week and Molly bid them farewell, so they could have some privacy.

An hour later they returned to their hotel room for the night. Rose looked at Jack, when she first met him she had no idea he'd rescue her in more ways than one. It was like he knews things about her even she didn't know. To her it felt like they had known each other for years. Her eyes met his, he was now her fiancee. He had got down on one knee and propsed. It wasn't a fancy ordeal like what Cal had done, she didn't find that the least bit sentimental. Jack wanted her to spend the rest of her life with him. He walked closer to her, and her knees grew weak. His lips locked hers and she dared not pull away! Rose knew what was about to happen and she wouldn't refuse it. Even with the drawing and being in that empty car together more now than ever, she felt so many emotions. The drawing was the most erotic moment in her life at the time, now she'd give herself to him like she did in the back of the car that Sunday night.

The week went by quickly. They had found a two bedroom apartment and Jack had managed to find a job pouring concrete after he applied to a few places. Rose was busy buying things to furnish their new house, and quickly make it a home. They planned to save up as much money as the could, Jack wanted to give Rose the wedding of her dreams. That Friday they had met up with Molly and went and spent the afternoon at her home and met her husband. When being invited to stay for dinner they accepted, and had a wonderful evening talking about the night Jack was invited to dine in first class with Rose and the rest of them. Molly gave Rose tips on her wedding and agreed that having a small ceremony would be more initmate. Molly almost adopted Jack and Rose as her own kids and took them under her wing. Both of them were grateful for that, they knew they had found a true friend in Molly.

Weeks had passed by before their eyes. Their house was now a home, Jack was happy with his job, Molly would pay visits quite often, and they had met people around the town. Things were more relaxed and life wasa bit more easier to live. Rose was happy with the lifestyle and wished she would have lived it sooner. No parties that were just a festival of gossip, no thoughts of money at every hour of the day, no major schedules and no corsets, which Rose loved the most though she might not admit it! One morning Jack was sound asleep in bed, when he rolled over to put his arm around Rose his arm hit cold sheets, which woke him up. He looked around and Rose was no where around. Finding it odd since normally Rose had begun to like sleeping in, Jack got out of bed and looked around the house. He saw the bathroom light on and knocked on the door "Rose, you in there?". Rose began to answer but got sick. Hearing this, Jack walked in and saw Rose leaning over the toilet, looking pale. He knelt down and pulled back her hair. "Are you alright?" he asked concerned, he had never seen Rose sick before. She shook her head "No, it's been like this for the past couple of days, I can't keep any food down." Jack grew more concerned and told her she needed to see a doctor. Being stubborn Rose refused, saying it wasn't nesscicary but this time, Jack had the last say. She set up and appointment and had Molly accompany her since Jack was scheduled to work that day.


After the visit to the doctors, Rose came home in shock and disbelief. "I'm pregnant.." she said aloud in the empty house. "Pregnant...what's Jack going to think? We're not ready to have a child" she continued to say and she went and layed down on the couch. Thoughts ran through her mind of him getting angry like Cal, and him leaving her alone with a baby to care for. She shook her head ashamed she had even compared him to such a creature. Jack was a stable man, she had learned that over the weeks there. He kept his word and was always supportive and anyways, he knew she could get pregnant when they made love. "Would he be happy though?" she thought almost afraid he'd stay because of responsibility. "I don't want to tie him down" she said and closed her eyes trying to fall asleep and catch up on the rest she hadn't gotten in the past couple days.

When Jack returned home that evening after a long day at work, Rose was in the kitchen preparing dinner which she quickly learned how to do. He headed straight into the kitchen, his sence of smell being filled by the eroma of spices. She looked over at him and gave a smile "How was work?" she asked not sure when to tell him the news. "Long" he responded and kissed her lips,"but it's good to be home." he said with a smile and wrapped his arms around her securely, as she continued to cook." What did the doctor say?" he asked hoping it wasn't anything bad. She cleared her throat and looked at him"I..I'm umm.." she hesitantly looked him in the eyes,"I'm pregnant..Jack." she quickly looked back at the food she was making, praying he didn't make a scene. Jack's jaw dropped. Rose was pregnant, they were going to have a child together. His face filled with glee he put his finger under her chin turning her head so she'd face him and said, "A baby? We're having a child Rose?". Rose nodded seeing the look on his face gave her a bit of relief but not completely, it could all just be an act. With that nod Jack spun her around the kitchen and kissed her passionatly, a grin glued to his face. A child was never something he had thought of, until he met Rose. She smiled at him "So you're happy about this?" she asked him to make sure. He looked at her" I'm more than just happy Rose, I'm the luckiest son of a bitch in the entire world!" and with that he spun her around again and laughed along with her.
