ThomasXRose.
Thomas is younger (20 years), not married, and the age gap between Thomas and Rose IN MY STORY was quite common in that time, So I'm not encouraging pedophilia. (Cal was 30 and Jack was 20!)
Rose and Thomas have been engaged since they were children, but it was a secret between Thomas's father, Thomas, Rose and Rose's father.
Cal and Ruth will be the villains, and Lovejoy will betray Cal, and help Rose and Thomas.
Rose's Prov
-April 14-15, 1912-
Once back in mine and Thomas cabin, Lovejoy said "Go to your side, and stay there. Don't answer the door for any reason. Thomas will knock on the door 2 times then 3 then 4. I will too." I nodded, and went over to my side staying hidden, until the knock. 2. 3. 4. "Rose, it's me." Thomas said, causing me to pull open the door, throwing my arms around his neck. "Hey shh. It's okay. I'm here… I got you." He whispered. Kissing my head. "I'm sorry… I was trying to get to you… Lovejoy spotted me, and told me everything." I said "I…"
Thomas said "No. Once we arrive in New York, we'll go into hiding." I said "Chippewa Falls… That's where I want to hide…" Thomas said "As you wish honey. We're having dinner in our cabin, and I'm not going anywhere." We ate dinner and just made love, when the ship shuttered and stopped. "Whoa…" I said, pulling the blanket around my frame. "Get dressed." Thomas whispered as he threw on some clothes, which I followed. I pulled his old jacket on, shoving all the cash in the water proof pockets, my favorite book, his pocket watch, and a present I got earlier. Once we got to the captain's quarters. "Private meeting." Murdoch said, pushing me harshly out. Lightoller, helped me up. "Are you alright?" Lovejoy came over, and remained with me and Lightoller.
I don't know how long it was but Thomas finally came over to me, and wrapped his arms around me. "I'm sorry. Are you alright?" I nodded. "The ship will sink…" Lightoller said "I'll get you both on the lifeboat… You to Mr. Lovejoy." I looked at Thomas. "No. I'll stay and help. Rose, Lovejoy. You both go, I'll meet you…" I said "NO. Either all three of us go, or we don't." The three of us stayed on, till there were no lifeboats, we managed to save most of the people. We were in the water, after the ship went under. "Come on." Lovejoy and Thomas said, as we swam to a door. "Get on." Lovejoy said, as I climbed on, then Thomas got on. Lovejoy kept it steady, while we got on, before he managed to climb on. "Here…" We paddled towards the boats, helping most of the people that we didn't get a chance to get on the lifeboats, on the door, which was A little girl, Jack, Fabrizio, Tommy, Charlotte, Aurora, and Helga. We met up with Mr. Lowe's lifeboat coming to the rescue, We managed to get the others on the lifeboat. "Rose, Now!" I got on, Reaching for Thomas's hand. He quickly got on, and then Lovejoy. "Thank you…" Jack, Fabri, Tommy, Charlotte, Aurora, and Helga whispered. We nodded. Finally we were rescued by the Carpathia.
We went to the third class section. "Can I take your names?" The steward said, as he came over. "Jack Dawson…" Jack stated, as Aurora said "Aurora De Rossi-Dawson." "Fabrizio De Rossi." Fabri stated, before Helga said "Helga De Rossi." Fabri looked curious to her. "Charlotte Dawson-Ryan." Charlotte said, leaning into Tommy, who held her. "And You?" Tommy said "Tommy Ryan." I looked at Thomas and Lovejoy. "And you Three?" "Spicer Lovejoy, and Angelica Lovejoy. Do not list me under first class. We're trying to hide from someone there." Lovejoy said, as he named the little girl, who apparently had no name, other than girl 500, she was going to the states to find her forever family. Lovejoy however, claimed her as his own. "Same for us… Thomas and Rose Andrews." Thomas said, as the steward said "Of Course." We huddled up in the corner. "Why, Mi amore did you give De Rossi as your name love, we are not married yet?" Fabri asked Helga. "To escape… Please… Don't speak of it… To anyone…" She begged. "You are my wife. Of course I won't say." "None of us will."
"Aurora, Charlotte, why did you say Ryan and Dawson?" I asked, Curiously. "Well… That's a surprise…" They said together, before they showed their left hands. "Wow, Those rings are beautiful!" Jack said "The one Charlotte is wearing, was our moms… She told me to give it to the guy who is lucky enough to win your heart." "And Aurora is wearing our mom's engagement ring. I have Mami and papi's wedding bands, too." Jack said "I have mom's wedding band, too." I smiled, wide. "I love it." "Oh Rose… Here." I looked to Lovejoy as he handed something to me. "Is this…" "It's your father's wedding band… I noticed you and Thomas don't have bands…" Thomas said "I actually got you one of the sets in the shop. I couldn't find one for me." "What about this one? Maybe it's a sign, you're meant to have my father's?" Thomas said "I think you're right." He slid my rings on before I slid his on. "Perfect fit." I said. "Helga?!" We were interrupted by Helga's parents coming over. Helga yanked her wig down, Shaking her head.
-April 17-18, 1912-
When we arrived in New York, We all went to a hotel, at least for a night. The only room they had left was an adjoining room. "Alright… So…" I said sitting on the bed. "How are we going to split up..?" Tommy said "You, Thomas and Lovejoy in this room…" Lovejoy said "Me and Angelica will take the sleeper couch… It pulls out to a bed." I smiled looking up to Thomas. "So we have a bed. Next room has the same set up. Why don't you guys talk, and figure it out, how to best split up? Lovejoy, why don't we head out, and try to get the money and some dry clothes and train tickets to Chippewa falls? Enough for everyone." Jack and Charlotte said "Thomas, That is way too much to accept!" I shook my head, and said "No. It's not. After everything you all have done for me… For Us while on Titanic… It's only a fraction of what we owe you." "Thank you." They said, all of them. I handed Thomas his ID, and some cash. "I took what I Could…" Before, I handed Lovejoy his. The girls and guys handed what little they had, as well as their sizes, I jotted mine down too, before handing them over. "We'll be back as soon as we can…" They left, and I said "Alright… I guess… We should…" Jack said "I think Fabri, Aurora, Helga and I should take the adjoining room… Charlotte, you and Tommy take this side." Tommy said "That's a good plan…" Just then there was a knock. "Auntie Rose." Angelica said tugging on my skirt. I picked her up. "It's Okay." The knocking continued. I peeked through the peephole, and opened the door. "We didn't order any of this… or these clothes…" I said, as the staff brought things in. "Compliments of the hotel, given the ordeal…" I said "Umm thank you. What about the clothes?" The one lady said "We've been collecting donations. Various sizes. Mr. Andrews, and Mr. Lovejoy gave us a list of sizes you'd need." I said "Thank you." Once they left, I said "Okay… So Let's eat lunch… Then we'll take turns showering, and changing…" They nodded, as we ate, leaving some for Thomas and Lovejoy, before I helped Angelica shower. She was only 4, and helped her into a nightgown. "There we go sweetie." I said tucking her in upon the sofa bed, draping her daddy's coat over her. "Thank you Auntie Rose." I kissed her head, saying "Anytime, honey. Now try and get some sleep." She fell asleep, and the rest of us took our chance showering and changing, before Lovejoy and Thomas came in. "Hey…" They looked confused. "They gave us some clothes they had gotten donated… and gave us food… I saved you guys some. Lovejoy, I also got Angelica, bathed, and tucked into bed…"
Lovejoy smiled, and said "Thank you." They ate and showered, while I unpacked the bags they brought, and set them for each couple, discovering suitcases, for everyone. Once everyone had gotten their clothes, and bags, Thomas and Lovejoy said "We leave tomorrow for Chippewa Falls. Our Train leaves at 12:00pm." "Sounds good." We made the rest of the arrangements, before we ate dinner, and going to bed.
In the morning, I woke up, first got ready, before Angelica woke up, quietly getting out of bed, and coming to me. I got her ready, and packed her things, before The others woke. "Angelica!?" Lovejoy said, looking around. "It's Okay, She's with me." I called. Thomas was getting ready, while Jack, Aurora, Fabrizio, and Helga were getting ready on their side. Tommy and Charlotte were ready too. Lovejoy came over to us, smiling with relief. "'...And they all lived happily ever after.'" I said, closing a nursery rhyme book. "You're so good with kids, Rose." Charlotte said, with a smile. I looked up and said "I hope so…" Thomas said " I know she is. Is everybody packed? We do have to head to the train station soon… Our check in time is 11:30…" I said "What time is it?" Thomas looked at his pocket watch. "Remind me to get a new one…" I pulled out the one I had gotten for him. "Here." I said with a smile. "I bought it for you when we were on Titanic…"
He took it gently with a smile. "Thank you babe." He checked the time, and said "10:30am." Charlotte and Tommy finished packing, and we all got our belongings before going to the train station. "Hi, Checking in?" A worker said, as we approached. "Yes, Sir. I reserved a cabin for my family, and myself." "Name?" The worker asked. "Andrews, Thomas." He looked at the paper, and said "Ahh Yes. You guys are right on time." While Thomas checked us in, Angelica said "Daddy? I don't feel good…" She tugged on her dad's pants, Causing Lovejoy to kneel down, and kiss her head. "Climb up baby." he said as Angelica climbed up onto Lovejoys back. I smiled, gently. "We're going to find them…" My blood ran cold. "Look! There's Lovejoy!" Lovejoy turned, spotting what I had seen. "Shit." Thomas came over, and said "What's…" I pointed. "Come on. Rose, You and Lovejoy first." We all quickly got on the train, and to our cabin. Lovejoy sat with Angelica while the rest of us got settled. I stood looking out the window. "Are you Okay?" Lovejoy asked as we started moving, coming over to me. "No…" I whispered, Thomas was going to see about us getting some lunch. "I don't feel good…" I whispered. He said "Why don't you sit down on the bed? I'll see if I can get some meds for you, and Angelica." I sat on the bed, as Thomas came in. "Hey, How's everyone feeling?" He asked. Everyone but me, Lovejoy and Angelica, nodded. "And what about Angelica, Lovejoy and my beautiful gorgeous wife?" Lovejoy said "I think our girls, got some travel sickness… Neither one is feeling well…" Thomas said "Well I ordered them both some soup, and everyone else something too…" "Thanks Thomas." the others said, as I looked softly to him. "Absolutely. You guys are family." Once we ate, I could already tell Angelica was back to herself. "Well Someone's feeling better." We said, soft. "Definitely." Lovejoy said with a smile. "What about you Rose?" I shook my head. Thomas sat on the bed beside me, saying "Maybe you should try getting some sleep?" I shook my head. "Nightmares come…" Thomas said "I'm sorry baby… But can you try for me?" I nodded, laying down.
