Here it finally is the 8th chapter! I'm very sorry I haven't posted and written a lot... I have been busy with homework (do the teachers think that's all we can do!?) and all preparing for exams, gone on vacation… But I hope you do enjoy it!

Jack and Rose had just finished making lunch when the doorbell rang. "I'll get it, Rose. You can take your time." Jack said as he walked of to the entrance hall. As he opened the door he found Jocelyn, Jonathan and Ella in the entrance.
"Hi, I thought I'd bring something for desert, since you just moved in and you already invited us for lunch." Jocelyn said, "It's a home made apple tart," as she was handing over the pastry.
"Thanks Jocelyn, it's true, we didn't think of a desert." Jack replied taking the tart form her. "Well, you guys can come in; we don't want you to stay standing out there…" Jack added as he led them into the sitting room.
As the guests walked in, Rose walked out of the kitchen with a large platter filled with a assortment of dinner rolls. "Hi, Jocelyn, Jonathan." She said smiling at them. Rose put the serving dish on the table, walked to Ella and crouched down. "Hello Ella," Rose said with a kind smile.
"Hello Mrs." The little girl replied shyly.
"You can call me Rose." Rose replied. She got back up "Your daughter is very cute," she added for Ella's parents.
"Why thank you, Rose," Jocelyn said as she took Ella in her arms.
"Let's eat before the food gets cold," Jack exclaimed. He then turned to Ella; "and before we all go hungry around here" he said to her with a wink and a smile in his face. Ella smiled back.
As they ate, Jocelyn and Jonathan talked to Jack and Rose about the stuff going on about their town, they Jonathan remembered; "Did you hear about the Titanic? She sank a couple of hours after hitting an iceberg, and saying that all those people believed her unsinkable!"
Jack and Rose glanced at each other, they both thought they could trust Jocelyn, Jonathan and Ella and tell them about their adventure, but they wanted to wait, and tell them all about the voyage when they had desert when they were sitting in the couch comfortably. So Jack and Rose didn't reveal too much about themselves. But meanwhile, they learned a lot about the Newells…
"So how did you two meet?" Jonathan asked, noticing the way Jack and Rose looked at each other lovingly.
"We met on a ship," Jack replied. He didn't want to reveal more than that for the moment and knew Rose didn't want to either. "What about you, where'd you meet Jocelyn?" Jack asked.
"Oh, we met at a very young age." Jonathan answered.
"We grew up as neighbours at the time." Jocelyn added, looking Jonathan straight in the eyes with love and happiness. "It's a long, long story…" Jocelyn sighed.
"We don't mind hearing it," said Jack.
"Besides, we have a long story to tell you too." Rose said. "After yours of course…" Rose added in encouragingly.
"In that case, we can't refuse…" Jocelyn replied with a warm smile.
