Jack didn't know how to feel. He felt his face grow pale and he stumbled back into a chair.

"The unsinkable ship sank?" Fabrizio's voice cut through his running mind, shock evident. Rose nodded, tears pricking her eyes. The paper made the entire moment surreal. Up until now, Jack had been basing everything he trusted in what Rose was saying, not really knowing if it was real, but this was crazy. This made him realize all that he and Rose had been through along with the rest of the passengers for this to happen.

He could tell Rose was on the verge of breaking down, so he stood up, shoving his own emotions down, and forced the paper from her hands, handing it to Fabrizio. He enveloped Rose in his arms, and she clung to him.

"Breathe, Rose," he whispered. "You need to calm down. Take deep breaths."

"I know, I know," she gasped out. "I had just...hoped...it wouldn't happen..."

He rubbed her back and nodded solemnly. "I do too, Rose. But we can't change it. There's nothing we can do. We just have to hope."

She sniffled and buried her face in his chest. Her glanced back at Fabrizio who wad studying the two, with a sad smile on his face.

"You two are two peas in pods," he said. Then he showed Jack the article, mood immediatly changing. "1500 people died last night, Jack. I glad we didn't get on. We got lucky."

Rose made a strange noise from inside Jack's shirt. Jack frowned. He knew that he had frozen to death in the old timeline, but what had happened to Fabrizio? He almost made a mental note to ask Rose when she calmed down, but then she cried muffled words into his shirt. They were so quiet, Jack could barely hear, so he knew Fabri couldn't.

"Lucky...smokestack...fall on top...you."

Jack could not be more thankful for this selfless woman in front of him in that moment. She had saved him and his loved ones from death and nobody even realized.

"Hey, Fabri, can I read that?" Jack asked, reaching for the paper with one hand as he held onto Rose with the other.

He scanned the paper and held Rose tighter with each word he read. This was horrible, and Rose had to live through it while he couldn't remember because he technically wasn't there.

Then his eyes fell on an article that caught his attention. "Hey, Rose, wasn't Caledon Hockley your fiancé?"

Rose glanced up at him, then the paper he was holding. "Yes, is he mentioned?"

"It says, 'Steel tycoon's son Caledon Hockley is devastated not just because of the sinking and loss of life that occured, but also his fiancée Rose Dewitt-Bukater—Lord, that's a long name, no wonder you took mine—went missing the day the Titanic embarked and he has seen no account of her since. 'I don't know if she was on the ship,' Dewitt-Bukater's mother commented tearfully. 'I thought she had gone ahead of us out of spite, but I didn't see her at all. If anyone has seen her, I just want my daughter back.'"

"Yeah, right," Rose snorted. "She want's Cal's fiancée back."

"Don't you think they're worried about you, though?" Jack asked Rose, unsure. She shook her head.

"She's only worried that Cal won't pay off our debt now. Which isn't my problem anymore."

"But Cal? Do you want him to find you?" Jack asked, forgetting Fabrizio was in the room probably watching the two of them. He realized that one of his biggest fears was that Rose would realize how much she missed living an elite lifestyle and decide to leave him.

She looked shocked that he would ask.

"Of course not! I don't love him, he's rude and absuive at times, and I have only ever love one person Jack. One single person, who happens to be you. All last year, I mourned you every single day. Every day. That's how much I need you," Rose told him earnestly.

He smiled weakly at her. "I love you too, Rose," he said softly. "I'm sorry, I'm just afraid—"

Rose cut him off with a firm kiss on his lips and he grinned fully as theu pulled apart.

"Don't be afraid, Jack. Never be afraid that I will ieave you. I won't. I swear."

Jack was amazed how she could go from weak and blubbering to comforting him in such a short amount of time.

Fabrizio started whistling as they gazed into each other's eyes, which snapped them out of what they were doing. All three of them burst out laughing when they realized Fabrizio had just watched that entire thing take place, and for a moment, the Titanic was forgetten.
