Epilogue-
At the end of 1912, the newlyweds traveled to see the unveiling of a plaque in honor of their dear friend Jack Phillips, in his hometown of Godalming, in Surrey England.
By that time Harlean was expecting a baby, who was born in May of 1913. It was a boy, and who was named Edward. They had two more children a girl and a boy named Lucy and Arthur.
On the 29th of June in the year 1914, Harlean attended a ceremony in Lichfield England, where her cousin unveiled the statute that had been made of Captain Smith.
Neither ever discussed the Titanic, and as it grew closer to the ten year anniversary- the couple decided to move to Scotland so they could both stay out of the lime light of it all. Harold hated being the celebrity he had become because of the sinking.
In Scotland, Harold became a traveling salesman. Through their life together, Harold always stayed in close contact with Harold Cottam and his family.
On April 29th, 1956-when Harold was 66 years old, he died. Harlean and the children fulfilled his wishes to have him cremated, and his ashes were scattered at the Glasgow Crematorium Chapel in Glasgow Scotland. But a little bit of the ashes were poured into a heart shaped locket which had a cross on it, and when Harlean's children presented it to her, she never took it off of her neck.
Harlean died in 1975, when she was 83.
Harold and Harlean lived a long happy life together and everything they did, they did together, and when they died- they had no regrets.

Or as Gina said when I called to tell her- (well that is what she said, but she also said this) HAPPY F*%*ing NEW YEAR!!!!
You can not believe how immensely happy I was when I wrote The End on chapter 20…I feel like a load has been lifted off my chest. Truly…this feeling is a feeling that never gets old. It really doesn't…I thank all of you, the readers and reviewers for helping me get to this point! I wouldn't have made it if it weren't for you. I love you all sooo dearly, and I am soo grateful to you for your support over the last year.
It took too long to finish this story than it should have, and I apologize for that…but I am really happy with how I wrapped all of this up. Thank you soooooooooooooooooooo much!
GINA I EFFING LOVE YOU! I WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN ANYWHERE IF IT WERE NOT FOR YOU…seriously…I wouldn't have even ever written Titanic stories if it wasn't for her. I love you and I will be picking your brain over the next few days for the parody…even though I already have some exciting ideas for the next story. Hey…and this one is going to have as much making fun of Bruce Ismay, as my past two parodies. Because everyone loves making fun of that man!!!
I love you my dearest wifey, talk to you soon!!
I love you readers, lots of love forever and ever!! Beccs! ^_^
