Clara gurgled her food, not eating it but finding it more entertaining to watch her parents and Miss Molly trying to feed it to her.

Molly had stayed with Rose and Jack for the last few months as Clara had grown. Jack had been extremely busy with the new store that he and Rose had purchased a few months before Clara had been born and in the time that Rose was pregnant the store had become popular among locals of the area and money was now flowing in at a good pace. Jack had even been able to quit his job at the factory, much to Paul's annoyance. Jack did promise that he would visit him regularly and told him he was allowed to visit whenever he wanted.

"Jack can you help me please with Clara?" Rose shoved another spoonful of food towards Clara's face but she just pushed her face away from the spoon.

"Jack?"

Jack came over, a paint bush in one hand. He grabbed the spoon of Rose and made a few car noises as he moved it towards Clara. Clara giggled but opened her mouth and swallowed food. Rose gasped in open amazement.

"How? But what?"

Jack simply smiled at her. "Looks like Clara loves me as much as her mother does. Finds me irresistible!" He laughed.

Rose smiled. "You are pretty amazing!" She got up from her chair and kissed him. Holding him in a hug she whispered in his ear.

Jack laughed. "Rose you are bad!"

"There are others in the room ya know!"

They turned around to find Molly standing behind them laughing. Her smile turned to a frown. "There is a visitor for ya? Not that ya would want to see him!" She motioned behind her. Both Rose and Jack stood shocked. They couldn't believe it. Why had he come back? Their mouths hung open from the surprise but Rose's eyes quickly filled with hate.

"What do you want?" She demanded. "You know you are not welcome here!"

Jack tried to sooth her but she glazed at him telling him not to interrupt.

"Trouble in paradise I see." Sneered Cal.

"Yeah you are the trouble!" Said Jack. "Now what do you want?"

"Back what is rightfully mine!" He pointed to Rose.

"Oh Cal that ship has long sailed!" Rose stated as she cuddled in closer to Jack. "Jack and I are happily married."

Cal sneered again. "That might be but was there anyone to see this marriage? Was it legal?"

Both Jack and Rose stared at each other. There had been no one there but the priest and themselves.

"There was a priest! Priest Peter, go and ask him about it!"

Cal shook his head. "I can't. Priest Peter died a few days ago. And the trouble with him was he never wrote anything down. So you aren't married! And I want my fiancée back! You Jack have held her capture for a year now! And I want her back! Now hand her over before I press charges!"

Jack looked stunned but Rose was even more. How could this have happened to her? She thought that her life with Cal had finished with the sinking of the Titanic.

"Look I have three police man outside waiting for my order to come in and take Rose from you with force! Now hand her over before someone gets hurt!"

"But....But what about Clara?" Rose stuttered.

"Who cares? I don't want anything of his in my family!" Cal pointed to Jack.

Jack was full of rage! How could this be happening to him? He looked at Molly and then Rose for support but Rose was as scared as he was and Molly looked look like she didn't know what to do.

"Jack hand her over! You don't want any trouble do you?"

Jack's rage suddenly poured out of him. He leaped forward towards Cal. He laid a fist into his face, making a perfect red circle. Cal stood, shocked, silent. Rose decided this was the best time to go. She ran towards Clara, grabbing her in her arms. Rose bolted towards the door, trying to avoid Cal's grasping arms but he clutched her in his arms and pulled her in. Rose screamed and kicked but not hard as she was still holding Clara. Cal whistled and three police man entered the room. Jack knew Cal had paid them to do this job; he would have paid them to be quiet and do their job, to never speak of this to anyone. They grabbed Jack, taking his hands behind his back. One police man hand cuffed him while the other two pushed him towards the door. Cal and Jack glared at each other. Jack knew this was illegal, he knew that Cal couldn't get away with this. Cal went to grab Clara off Rose but she fought him off, biting and kicking. Cal slapped her and grabbed the baby shoving it into the arms of the nearest police man.

"Take this!"
Molly stood off in the corner but this was too much for her. She took Clara off the police man, soothing the baby's cries. Rose nodded a thanks. She was going to get away from Cal but right now all she could do was wait and do as she was told.

"Rose my dear, let us go home!" He lent in to kiss her but Rose slapped him causing his already red face to become brighter.

"You never knew what was good for you! You are a spoilt brat!"

Rose let a tear escape and she knew that she had just let Cal win. She watched as Jack was taken away. Molly stood next to her, tears flowing down her cheeks. It was all her fault and she knew it.
