Finally the big day had arrived. Rose was awake all night long tossing and turning. The birds were chirping and the grass was still wet with dew. It was ten o'clock in the morning. Jack was already in the bathroom shaving while Rose was in the kitchen.
"Mom, what are we having for breakfast?" Nevaeh asked Rose.
"Something quick, how about a bowl of cereal, we are in a hurry."
"Damnit! Rose yelled when Nevaeh spilled milk all over Rose while making a bowl of cereal.
"Sorry mommy"
"Oh, honey it's ok."
Rose went to the bedroom and Jack was getting out of the shower. Rose walked in the bathroom while Jack was getting his underwear on. Rose stripped down and stepped in the shower.
"What happened to you, I heard you yelling." Jack asked Rose.
"Oh, nothing, Nevaeh spilled milk on me. It's no big deal.
Jack walked out of the bathroom in his underwear.
"Ooooo…. Daddy's in his underwear. Nevaeh said while laughing.
Jack laughed and got his clothes on. He got the suitcases and put them in the car. When he came back in Rose was already getting dressed.
"Hurry honey, our plane leaves in 45 minutes." Jack told Rose.
"I am ready, Go get the kids." Rose replied.
Jack walked into Cora's room and told her it was time to go. She looked around to make sure she had everything. She quickly rabbed her mp3 player and ran out of her room to the hall. She and Jack opened the door to Nevaeh's room and she was sitting on the bed. She looked up at Jack and he motioned for her to come on. Nevaeh smiled and held on to her portable DVD player as she ran into the hall by Cora. Rose walked out of her bedroom and pushed the kids towards the front door.
"Now, before we leave does anyone have to use the bathroom?" Jack said as they were putting opening the door to step out.
Everyone replied with a no. They all loaded into the families car and just as Jack was pulling out…
"Daddy I have to go potty!" Nevaeh said while smiling.
"You just said a minute ago you didn't have to go." Jack replied
"I know I was just kidding." Nevaeh said while laughing.
Jack continued backing out. The airport was about 15 minutes from the Dawson's house. When they arrived at the airport Jack had to get a parking pass to park the car in the airport parking lot. They took their luggage to the baggage area where the guy puts the luggage in the cargo hold. They had to go through 3 metal detectors before getting on the plane. Jack found that ridiculas but Rose explained to him that after 9-11 she would rather go through 3 metal detectors than be killed ten thousand feet in the air by some high jacker.
Finally they all boarded the plane. Nevaeh ran to their seats.
"Section A, Row 3." Nevaeh said to Rose with a big smile.
"Okay honey, sit down. The plane is about to take off." Rose told Neveah.
"Yes, umm… this is Captain Smith speaking, we are about to take off so please buckle your seatbelts."
"Oh God!" Rose whispered loudly.
"Now Rose, It is just a conincidence. Just because his name is the same as the captain of the Titanic means absolutely nothing." Jack said to Rose while looking into her eyes.
"Your right." Rose said while buckling her seatbelt.
The plane started taxiing to runway 7. Moments later the plane was up in the air. Cora was already listening her mp3 player, and Nevaeh was putting a DVD in her DVD player. When the movies started it was turned all the way up and everyone on the plane could hear it.
"Nevaeh, please hook your headphones in." Rose said to Nevaeh.
"Okay mommie." Nevaeh replied while plugging in her headphones.
"This is your captain again, I just wanted to tell you that we are about to hit some turbulance this is no cause for alarm. But please keep yur seat belts secure."
The Plane went through about 2 minutes of non stop turbulance. All of those bumps made Cora nauseas, As soon as the turbulance stopped she ran to the bathroom and puked. She had been doing this for about 2 weeks and she had not mentioned it to Rose or Jack. She kept telling herself that if it kept up she would tell them but she kept keeping it from them.
They had been flying for about eleven hours and it was a fourteen hour flight. Jack slept most of the way but Rose kept a tight grip on the arm rest. She was just terrified that the plane was going to crash. She kept running the pictures through her mind of the plane crashing into a lake or into someones house.
3 hours later
"This is Captain Smith speaking, We will be landing in about fifteen minutes. Please fasten your seatbelts."
Rose stared at her watch for thirteen minutes until the plan started to decend. The plane landed on the runway just a minute or two later. Rose loosened up on the arm rest. When the plane stopped and the stewardess said that passengers could start exiting the plane Rose was the first person to jump out of her seat. They exited the plane and went to baggage claim and got their bags. The ship docks were about 2 miles away. Jack and the family decided to take the bus because it would be quickest. The boarded the bus and they were off to the docks.
I hope that you all enjoyed this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it. I hope that you will please review.
