Rose was woken from her sleep as her shoulder was shaken roughly. She blinked at her surroundings for a while and then the terrible memories of the night before came flooding back.

"Miss they're here" the man said, smiling widely "Their here to save us"

Rose looked up above her and saw a large ship a few feet in the distance.

CARPATHIA was written on the side, a name that would stay with her forever, just like Titanic. Rose instinctly looked over at Jack, who still looked unconscious but was now breathing faster.

"Is he ok?" Rose said timidly, reaching for Jacks hand.

"Well he hasn't woken up ye miss" The man said sadly "But his breathing got better"

"Good" She said, then she leant across Jack on more time, she stared down at his handsome face, the ice still hung in his hair, but his lips were now starting to regain there natural colour.

"You next!" Rose heard a voice shout and she looked up. A man was leaning out of a door on the Carpatiha, signalling for the lifeboat she was in to be boarded.

"We have and injured, he needs the infirmary" The man who had helped Rose said as they reached the ship "He's unconscious but alive"

"Ok, 1 moment" The man said, looking down at Jack worriedly "Quickly men!" He shouted inside the ship "I want a stretcher now"

The two workers quickly got a stretcher and Jack was loaded onto it. Rose was helped onto the ship after Jack.

"Thank you" She said to the man who had rescued them and helped her with Jack, and she hugged him tightly.

"Its ok miss" He said smiling at her "I hope everything is ok for you"

"I hope so too" Rose replied and hurried off after Jack.


Jack was taken to the small hospital ward on the ship and tucked into a warm bed. Hot water bottles were place all over the sheets in attempt to warm him up.

"Hello" Said a young man coming into the room "My name is Ben and I'm the doctor on this ship" He said, extending a hand out to Rose which she shook.

"Ill be looking after Jack, if we get him awake he's going to have to rest for some time" He said looking down at Jack, the ice had now melted from his hair and his lips had fully returned to colour.

"What do you mean if you get him awake?" Rose said.

"There is a chance he might never wake up, he still could die" He said softly to Rose.

"No, he's not going to die, he's come all this way he wont die now" Rose repeated over and over like a mantra or a spell, the more she said it the more she reassured herself.

"Ill come to check on him back later" The doctor said leaving the room.


Rose sat beside Jack for the rest of the day, the doctor returned several times to try and get her to eat and sleep, but she wouldn't leave Jacks side. He said that she could stay with him as long as she liked, but she really must get some sleep. She promised him she would, although she didn't want to.

She had been holding Jacks hand all day, whispering to him she sang their song softly as she sat beside him.

"Come Josephine in my flying machine and it's up she goes! Up she goes!"

She rested her head on the bed beside his legs and shut her eyes, ok she could sleep but she wasn't going to leave him.

Rose's thoughts travelled to the fun times she had had with Jack and was almost slipping into a peaceful sleep until something disturbed her. She could feel Jacks hand moving in hers, she snapped her eyes open and looked down at him. His eyes were blinking open, he was staring around worriedly.

"Rose?" He said looking at her.

"Yes Jack it's me!" She said, she was almost crying with happiness, she jumped over and hugged him tightly.

"Were are we?" He asked, looking at his surroundings "We were in the sea… waiting for boats. Were are we?"

"Carpathia" Rose replied "The rescue ship, the lifeboats came and you were unconscious they all thought you were dead, but I knew you weren't. I insisted that you be put in the boat too."

"Oh Rose" Jack said, smiling up at the beautiful lady "I love you so much"

"I love you too Jack" She said, smiling back at him.

"Are you ok?" He said, looking caringly at her, her eyes were red and puffy, her skin paler than he had ever seen it before, her hair was matted and damp.

"I'm fine, I was just so worried about you Jack" She said, stroking a hand across his now warm face "Are you ok?"

"Well…" He said, checking himself over, he had a dull throbbing pain in the back of his head, and he couldn't feel his right arm "My heads hurting, not that I wouldnt expect that, but I… I can't feel my arm"

"Which one?" Rose asked worriedly.

"Right" He said, looking at the worry in Roses wonderful face he said "Its probably just taking longer to de-freeze than everything else" He laugh weakly, but this hurt his chest.

"Yes" said Rose "That's it"

"You should really get some sleep Rose, you look terrible" He said, looking at her swollen eyes.

"Thanks" She joked weakly.

"No, your beautiful Rose, you know how I meant it" He said smiling at her.

"Yes I do" She replied.

"Get onto the bed Rose" He said, moving over as much as he could and Rose lay beside him, Jack put his working arm around her and stroked her hair.

"Its going to be ok now Rose" He assured her.

"I know that Jack" She replied "Because i'm with you"
