At night aboard the Carpathia Bella could hear the quiet sobs of woman who have lost their loved ones.

It was now April 16th the night after the Titanic had sunk. Alice was suggled against Bella's chest as they lay under a thin worn blanket. Many of the people who were aboard the Titanic were in. All of the passengers that were saved by the Carpathia were told by the crew that they would be arriving in New York in two days. That news made Bella happy and yet very worried. She and Alice had nothing now and yet they had to find a way to make ends meet in New York, and Bella was very afraid that she wouldn't be able to take care of her little sister.

Bella was brought out of her thoughts when she felt a warm hand place itself apon her shoulder. "Excuse me, miss, but I have a couple of blankets and a chair for the little one to sleep in,"a voice like smooth honey whispered in her ear. The ship, of course, didn't have much room for the new passengers so they gave out what they had to them. Some people slept in chairs some upon blankets on the floor.

Bella turned around as much, as she could with alice in her arms, to thank the man who graciously offered his sleeping arrangments and came face to face with the young man who got her and her sister into on of the lifeboats when the Titanic was sinking. Bella suddenly felt a little twidge of guilt because she did not even look for him to see if he survived.

"Oh, it is you!" Bella exclaimed as she gently put Alice down. She hugged the young man tightly she murmured, "Thank you so much, sir. My sister's and my life are forever in debt to you!" The young man chuckled and drew back from her. Bella could now finally see what this man looked like from under the pale glow of the lights aboard the ship. He was devastatingly handsome with unusual bronze hair and emerald green eyes.

"Miss, you paid off your debt when you and the young one made it aboard this ship safely," he said while his pale cold hand brushed a wisp of her brown hair behind her ear. Bella blushed and softly smiled and stared into the man's lovely green eyes. Their heads seemed to be getting closer...and closer.

"Bella?" Alice's voice cried out. Bella whipped her head away from young man and crouched down by her sister, who was still crying out from her sleep. Bella wrapped her arms around Alice and whispered soothing words into her tiny pixie like ears.

"Is she alright, miss?" the young man asked when Alice quieted down.

Bella looked up at the man and softly said, "She will be alright. Thank you for your concern." Then she blushed when she remembered how close their lips were before Alice had cried out.

"Miss, please, I insist on giving her my chair and blankets. The young one is shivering so violently," the man insisted.

"Oh thank you, sir! But wait what will you have?" She asked him. The man looked sheepish when he answered.

"Well if you do not mind. We could share that blanket you have on you." Bella blushed once again at thinking how close they were only moments before, and agreed with the man.

Once Bella was lying next to the man with his arm over her, under the blanket she said sweetly, "I'm am greatly sorry if you were asleep, sir, but if you do not mind...well...can you call me by my name Bella, instead of miss?"

With her head on his chest she could feel him chuckle and say, "Only if you call me Edward. Goodnight, mi-Bella"

Bella snuggled more into Edward and sighed, "Goodnight, Edward."
