April 18th, 1912

The Carpathia docked in New York at about 9 pm. Jack, Rose, Tommy, Fabrizio, and Helga stood on the deck watching the Statue of Liberty inch closer to them. They were coming closer and closer to the Land of Destiny and freedom. It was drizzling rain, steadily and slowly. Jack and Rose walked down the ramp and as they stepped off, Rose stopped and looked at Jack, teary eyed.

"What is it, what's wrong?"

Rose smiled softly and said, "I told you that I was getting off with you."

Jack smiled and said, "And you did Rose."

Fabrizio and Helga came up beside them and he said, "Come everyone, we must go to hotel for food and sleep." They all went in one group towards the hotel only a few blocks away. As they were trying to get through the huge crowd of reporters and photographers, they unexpectedly ran into Molly.

"Rose darlin, is that you?"

Rose turned around, hesitant to see who it was. When she saw it was only Molly, she was relieved to find her mother and Cal were no where in sight. She walked over to Molly and gave her a hug.

"Molly, you can't let my mother or Cal know I'm alive. I've finally escaped them and that life and I never want to go back."

"Darlin, you have nothin to worry about. My lips are sealed. Now, I'm assuming you need a place to sleep?"

"Yes, but I'm not the only one. Jack is with me. Also, our friends, Fabrizio, Tommy and Helga. I hope it's not too much to ask."

"Honey, of course it's not to much to ask. I'd be more than happy to help every single one of ya. Let's go."

Molly led them to the hotel and she went to the front desk and asked for 4 rooms for Titanic survivors.

"Ok everyone, here are the keys to your rooms. It's free for Titanic survivors and there's food in the cafeteria if your hungry. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm awfully tired. See you all in the mornin. Goodnight."

"Night Molly." Jack replied.

The next morning, Jack had awoke first and he'd brought Rose breakfast from the cafeteria. He was sitting in the couch reading the newspaper when he saw Rose wake up.

"Morning sleepy head."

Rose smiled and replied, "Morning." Rose got up and walked over to Jack and gave him a kiss. She walked over to the mirror and she gave herself a disgusted look. She turned and smiled at Jack seductively.

"I don't know about you, but I'm going to take a shower. Care to join me?" Jack looked up from the newspaper. He smiled back and said, "Great idea." He put down the newspaper and followed Rose into the bathroom.

Meanwhile, down in the hotel lobby, Molly was talking to the clerk at the desk.

"Now if that maid of yours wakes me up at 6 in the morning again, then I'm just gonna have to talk to the manager, ya understand?"

Yes ma'am, I'll send her at 9 am from now on, is that all right?"

"Thats just fine. Thanks for your time."

She smiled softly and turned around and she was surprised at who she saw in front of her.

"Why Ruth darlin', what are you doin here?"

"Oh, hello Molly. I just awoke not too long ago."

"Well, I was going to take a walk outside to get some fresh air. Would you like to tag along?"

"That would be fine. Thank you Molly."

Rose got out of the shower first, followed by Jack a few minutes later. She brushed her hair ans she put it up into a neat bun. She put on her dress, shriveled and stained from only the night before. Well I guess this will have to do until I can find a new dress. After they had both ate breakfast, they decided to go next door to see how Fabrizio and Helga were doing and then they would go check on Tommy.

Rose went over to the black overcoat hanging on the coatrack. She put it on and she felt something heavy in the left pocket. She pulled out the Heart of the Ocean.

"Oh my goodness! Jack! Look!" She then pulled out two stacks of money.

"Jack, there has to be over ten-thousand dollars here!"

Jack looked shocked and he said, "Well, that will give us a chance to buy some new clothes and we won't have to worry about getting a job right away."

She felt the pocket again to see if anything remained from her past life. Then, she felt her engagement ring that once entangled her to that world in which she had lived. She held it in her hand and she looked at it for a few minutes before Jack brought her back to reality.

"Rose, you ok?"

"Oh, uh yeah I'm fine." She put the ring, money and the diamond back into the pocket. She took Jacks hand and smiled brightly.

"Shall we?"

"Yes, we shall."

They went next door to check on Fabrizio and Helga. They visited for a few minutes and they all went to check on Tommy. Tommy walked out of the door just as they were going to his room. They all walked down to the lobby. When they reached the lobby, Rose stopped suddenly and she was shocked at who sat only a few feet away.
