Two nights later, young Cora was brought home with Jack and Rose, and the three of them were able to go back to the house in stable condition. Jack was alive and well, standing up firmly without coughing at all. Rose was very perky at that time, always willing to get up and feed Cora and do the laundry. After one feeding which happened a month later, things got very lovely in the Dawson household.

"So Rose, how do you think of the new life as a mother?" said Jack, pulling Rose close to him from behind and kissing her up her soft neck. Rose giggled in response.

"It's amazing, Jack," said Rose, pulling up her dress and putting Cora down into her crib. "I never thought it would be anything like this. It's just so... serene."

"As a father, I would agree," said Jack, placing his hands on Rose's hips. The two of them kissed passionately, with Rose's hand on Jack's cheek. She giggled inside of the kiss out of all of her happiness, and gave him a giant hug afterwards.

They both left Cora alone in the crib, and made it to their bedroom safe and quietly. They laughed at eachother, and swung around in the room as though they were dancing very oddly. Jack jumped up on the bed, and pretended to tap dance, while Rose cracked up. She jumped up on the bed herself, and pounced on Jack, allowing the two of them to tumble down on the matress. They drew their heads together into a playful kiss.

"Jack... remember the night when we first, well, did it?" said Rose, putting her arms around Jack's back.

"Yes, ofcourse," said Jack, "when those guys thought they'd find us in the car and--"

"Shh..." Rose whispered, "we're going to do it again."

Jack smiled and nodded at Rose's idea, and the two of them instantly threw themselves under the covers.

Thirty minutes later, Jack and Rose still stood there on top of eachother. They were drenched in eachothers sweat, Rose's hair messy and wet and Jack's muscular body burning.They both gave eachother a long, salty kiss before they closed their eyes. They both groaned as they heard such a pleasant surprise coming from the kitchen. Rose opened her eyes, and noticed it was her mother. She nudged Jack, who then pulled off of her. They both looked at Ruth with wide eyes, and then Ruth finally said something.

"Uh... your door was open... and uh... I wanted to tell you... that uh... Cal left the house... and uh... WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DOING TO MY SEVENTEEN-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER?" Ruth shouted, pointing her finger at the two of them. "You should NOT be doing this, Dawsons."

"Mom, come on, we're married now. We can do whatever we like when we're married, right Jack?" said Rose, giving her head a nudge at Jack.

"Mmhmm!" he nodded quickly, getting back on top of Rose to taunt his mother-in-law.

"Oh my, you two... well... uh... get back to your... uh... weird business... your fun life... uh... ROSE I CAN SEE YOUR--" Then, all of a sudden, she fainted out of nowhere. Both Jack and Rose chortled, as they caressed eachothers faces.

"Oh my GOD, that was crazy," said Jack, "and, uh, Rose. I can see it, too. But that's ok, I don't really, uh, care?"

"Eep," said Rose, pulling up the covers just incase someone else decided to barge into the room. "So, Jack... what will we do if I get pregnant again?"

"I don't know... I don't think I'll even live long enough to take care of the baby. Nor Cora, nor this one... if you do have another one ofcourse. Rose, you know I will be in your heart helping you take care of them. When I leave you, just keep in mind that you will be pennyless after my death. I cannot offer you anything, not one single bit of money. I'm on God's good humor, remember?"

"Jack, I know you're sorry... It's terrible I can't pay rent for this place, and you know what you said... they'll have to take Cora away from me! And unless I find help, the other baby, too! I can go on like this Jack, I know you tell me I'm a strong person. However, seeing them take my baby away from me will be one of the harshest things that'll ever happen to me!" Rose began to cry all of a sudden. "I don't want you to die, Jack, I want you to somehow recover. Please. Let this be a miracle."

"I've found one thing about you, Rose, and it's that you have a caring heart. You care more about others than you care about yourself, and that's usually a good thing. But when it comes to me, Rose, you will never have control on how or when I will die. You have to understand that, love. I love you with all my heart, and I wish I could save you, too... but 'you jump, I jump' can't always count for everything, and you know I want you to survive. You know what I've told you over a million times already, and you have to burn that into your brain."

Jack, patting Rose's hair, leaned over to kiss her eyelid. She continued to bawl, something she had been doing a lot of lately. It was happening so fast in front of her, so fast that her bad temper was starting to act up quite a bit. She wanted to scream, she really did, but she just could not do that to her lawfully wedded husband. This is not right... I don't want to be in denial, but I just cannot accept this, she thought, as her body began to shake violently.

"You're right, Jack..." she finally admitted, "I really do love you... and if I could, I would jump right in and save you from dying. But you're right, I can't do that. It's already burned into my brain, but I just haven't learned to accept it yet. You don't need to tell me it over and over again, because I just hate hearing things be repeated to me."

"I understand," said Jack, smiling weakly.

Jack and Rose cuddled eachother close, and closed their eyes. The both of them then made out for a very long time, pressing their tongues together and opening and smacking their lips. They both felt every inch of their bodies tingle as they did this, for they both felt that this was one of their most erotic moments together.

A/N I hope this wasn't too inappropriate for the T rating. This chapter may seem a little irrelevent, but it's worth something as we get on with the story. Infact, there's going to actually be a sequel to this, which I hope you'll all enjoy. I'll show you a spoiler in the last chapter, because I don't want to ruin the ending of this story already.

And it would be mean to not review, now would it? I'm only updating this if/when I get 25 reviews.
