Okay Guys! So, I had a request for a Chapter in Jack's Point of view, so that's exactly what I did. Anyways, I watched Titanic three times last night, and bawled my eyes out each time, so I decided that I would make this kinda fluffy as a tribute to my favorite pairing of all time!
Here's Chapter three! And just to be clear: They are finally in New York.

Jack's POV
A flood of people awaited us as we managed ourselves down onto hard, solid ground. The crowd was frantic as the passengers stepped off the ship only to be swamped with questions with no particular answers.
I slipped my arm tenderly around Rose's shaking body and began my descent into the swarm. Flashbulbs went off from every direction. It seemed the press cared not about the many lives that had been shaken and altered. Questions were asked, tears were shed from all walks of life. Names were shouted out, in hopes that loved ones had managed to survive. Of course, even the crowd of people on the ground knew that not even half of the people aboard had managed to survive.
"Jack," Rose said quietly.
I looked down into her emerald eyes and found what she needed to say, without her even having said it. I nodded and pulled her tightly next to me as we made our way down to go through the seemingly endless sea of people. I plastered a fake smile on my face, more for her than anything else, and walked dead ahead. I felt eyes on my face, and knew that they never expected a first class female to be wrapped around such a man as myself.
Voices penetrated my ear drums, and people shoved, seeking ones whom they desired.
"Where will we go?" Rose asked me, her voice barely audible. "Cal had our living quarters all prepared for us, what do you and I do?"
"We wait to see what happens," I answered. "That's the most we can do."
The Statue of Liberty shone brightly through the black sky in the not so distant distance. Rain still trickled from between the clouds, and I had but one thought.
"You know, My grandfather used to tell me that rain was just God crying," I told Rose as we finally broke from between the people that barricaded us from the spacious city.
"I can see what he's crying about this night." She answered. "For all the lives that were torn to shreds, for all the people that lost someone dear to them, for all the children that lost parents, and parents that lost children and each other. Can you not see Jack? Life for many, many people will never be the same. Life for me will never be the same, and even for you."
"You're right. My life won't be the same. It will be ten times better Rose. I'll get a job, I don't care what, just anything to help start my life with you. We'll start our lives, they may not be the same as they would have been, but I'll have you, and that's the only thing that matters to me."
"Jack." She looked up at me and smiled briefly. I knew what she wanted to say, and she knew she need not say it. She stood on her toes and pressed her lips to mine for just a second, yet in that second, I had found all the strength and confidence I would need to make both of our lives work.
Alright Guys! There you go Chapter 3. Only Two more to go! Maybe three I don't quite know. Should I do the next Chapter in Jack's Point of View! Anyways! Tell me what you think, I always like critism (sp?) of the constructive type! On to Chapter 4.
