Rose's POV

"Uncle Jack! Aunt Rose! Look, look! It's Lady Liberty!" Cora screeches in excitement, dragging Jack and I along the deck of the Carpathia, over towards the railing. I stare up at the magnificent statue ahead of me, as the ship slowly makes its way by. If I were to be arriving here alongside Cal, I probably could have cared less about this large monument, but now that I'm arriving in New York with Jack and Cora, this statue has a whole new meaning. The beginning of a new life, a life filled with freedom.

"Oh Jack, I can't believe this! I'm really getting off this ship with you!" I whisper to him, in utter disbelif. Yes, I may have told him on Titanic that i'd be getting off with him, but never did I ever think that would really happen. I would have thought Mother or Cal would have gotten to me before we could.

"Once we get off this boat, it's a whole new beginning, for all of us. I know we don't have any money right now, but I will provide for the both of you. I'll get a job, we;ll buy a nice house, get Cora into a good school, and everything will be just perfect." Jack rambles on, telling me about his wishes for us. It all just seems so amazing. I lean in and kiss him on the lips, and we kiss for a few seconds before we're interrupted by the voice of a young girl.

"Ewwww! You guys thats gross!" Cora exclaims, throwing her tiny hands across her eyes, trying to shield herself from our kiss. Jack and I pull away, falling into fits of laughter over the small child's cuteness.

"Okay Cora, it's all clear." Jack informs her, still trying to control his laughter. She takes her hands away from her eyes, and comes over and clings onto us as if something drastic just happened.

"Never, ever do that again!" She squeals, gripping onto each of our legs, as if were going to dissappear.

"It was just a kiss, Cora." I tell her, stilffling a laugh. She lets go of our legs, and I pick her up in my arms, as we walk back over to look at Lady Liberty.

"Now what were you going to show us Cora?" I ask the small child as she begins to ramble on about how gorgeous the statue is, and I can help but smile. This couldn't get any better.

"Attention all passengers, please gather into the general room, as we are to be docking shortly. 3rd class will not be let off until 1st and 2nd, so it will be quite a while, so no need to rush." A steward yells out above all the chatter on the steerage deck. After his message has been delievered, all the passengers of the Carpathia head off to there rooms to gather their belongings, were as all previous passengers of Titanic remain were they are, seeing as they don't have any belongings with them, as they're now all perished at the bottom of the Atlantic.

Jack and I are momentarily sitting on a bench, with Cora's head resting on Jack's lap, and the rest of her tiny body sprawled out along the rest of the bench, oblivious to anything around her considering she's soundly sleeping. I cuddle into Jack's chest, and he wraps his arms aroud me, pullng me into a warm embrace.

I'm suddenly struck with a ton of fear, the anxiety taking over my whole body. My minds being pestered by a whole new series of worries. What if everything goes wrong? What if Cal finds me? What if we end up sleeping on the streets? What if Jack... leaves me?

Then in an instant, tears begin to pour from my eyes, and I begin to uncontrollably sob. Jack pulls me away from his chest, and fear begins to wash over his features.

"Darling, whats wrong? What's gotten you upset so suddenly?" Jack asks me, concern seeping from each word that falls from his mouth.

"Ja-Jack, I-I..." I say, stumbling upon my words, and I fall into another fit of tears.

"Rose, please. You're scaring me." Jack whispers, not wanting to catch the atention of the people around us.

"Oh Jack, I'm so terrified." I manage to cry out. He wraps his arms around me tightly, placing a kiss on my forehead.

"What's got you so scared all the sudden?" He asks, tears beginning to brim his own eyes, though I have no idea why. Should I tell him? Of course! You do love him after all, don't you? I try to control my tears, and i'm able to slow my hitched breaths down, so that I'm able to speak.

"What if things don't turn out right? What if Cal finds us and takes me away? What if we end up on the streets? We don't have any money on us and when this ship docks we'll have no were to go! I can't possibly let Cora sleep out in an alley!" I tell him, suddenly feeling ashamed about my outburst.

"Rose, I promise that if Cal even lays a finger on you, i'll punch him out cold. I definatly won't let you sleep on the streets tonight, it's really dangerous, so I can guarentuee you that i'll find us somewhere to go." He reassures me, suddenly making me feel a little better, though there's still something bugging me. After a few moments of silence, I suddenly speak up again.

"Jack? Will you ever leave me?" I ask him, before breaking down in tears once more. He looks up at me, and a look of hurt and sadness comes across him.

"Rose, do you honeslty think i'd ever leave you?" He asks sincerely.

"Wh-what if yo-you g-get bored o-of m-me?" I stutter out through tears, and he looks down at me and shakes his head in disbelif.

"Now Rose, don't you think for a second that i'd ever get bored of you! You're the most amazing girl i've ever met, and i'm never going to be able to let you go." He tells me, wiping my stray tears away,and pulling me into a tight embrace.

"Oh Jack, I love you." I spit out, and he looks down at me, a smile speading infecteously across his face.

"I love you too, Rose." He says, before placing s sweet kiss on my lips.

We've been sitting around the general room for about 2 hours now,and it's just been annouced that it's time for the 3rd class to make they're way off the ship. Jack, Cora and I managed to keep to the back of the crowd, just so that we can make sure we don't loose anyone and with the hope that the journalists and such would have died down by now, seeing as they'd probably only want to talk to the rich.

Once the majority of 3rd class has exited the ship, the three of us finally make it to the deck, were we are to got off. Once on solid ground, I stumble a bit at first, as does Cora, but somehow Jack manages to stay sturdy. It's probably the effect of spending many days at sea. Cora and I giigle as she seeks me for support. I look behind me and notice Jack with a wide smile as he stares at the scene before him, and that smile only grows wider once he notices me looking at him.
