Chapter Six

Rose was sitting in the dinning room and she was going through the survivors list one last time. There wasn't any Jack Dawson in it.

"Does the list include those who are in the nursery?" she asked

"Yes ma'am. It has just been update. I brought it as soon as the last man in the nursery gave us his name. Just like your husband told me to do"

"Yes, thank you" Cal relied

"I can't believe he is really dead" Rose said "Hey! What's this? Lovejoy is alive"

"What?" Cal asked getting closer to the sheet of paper her fiancée was holding.

"Oh, yes. As a matter of fact he was the last one to give us his name. As soon as he woke up he started saying a name. What was it? Violet? No. It was a flower, I'm sure" the officer said.

"Was it Rose?"

"Yes! He was looking for someone name Rose"

"Lovejoy wanted to see me?"

"I don't think so, sweet pea. We don't know anything about his life. Maybe he had a daughter name Rose, or something."

"I better go and check, just to be sure"

She was getting up, when her mother came in.

"You won't guess who I just saw in the nursery" Ruth said

"Jack!"

"No, darling, he's dead. Did you see his name in the list? No, I guess he wasn't as strong as he thought, was he?" laugh Cal.

"He was stronger than you" his fiancée answer.

"Stop it, both of you. No, I didn't see that boy. I runned into Lovejoy, you're valet. I hope you forgive me Cal, but I had to fired him. He had to protect you and Rose and he didn't."

"And did he accepted?" Cal asked, knowing that she was talking about Jack.

"Of course he did"

"And did he asked you something about me?" Rose asked

"Why would he?"

"This man here" she said as she pointed the officer "told us that the minute he woke up he started calling for someone name Rose. Maybe he wanted to see me. I'll better go and ask him"

"Oh, I wouldn't do that if I were you, Rose. It's a horrible place and he is too weak to have many visitors. They let me in because I told them that I was looking for my son in law's valet."

"But maybe he wants to tell me something…"

"Rose, he didn't mention you, but he did say something about a daughter. Maybe her name is Rose." lied Ruth

"See? I told you that he was talking about a relative" Cal said

"You're probably ok. Do you mind if I go to take a walk? I'm not feeling very well"

"Go on sweet pea. Do you want me or your mother to join you?"

"No, I rather go alone. I'll be back for lunch"

"We'll wait here"

"That was closed" Ruth whispered as she watch Rose going away

Cal smiled.
