Stumbling over his own feet, Jack grabbed the edge of the chair for support. Rose looked up worryingly from where she was standing in the kitchen. Jack took another step forward only to wobble and have to gain support from the chair again.

"Jack do you want help?" Rose asked as she rushed over to his side.

Jack only pushed her aside. "I'm fine Rose." He coughed. "Honest." He coughed a few more times before deciding it was better just to sit where he was. He landed in the chair with a thump but continued to reassure Rose. "Rose I'm fine." He said again. She glanced at him again but went back to where she had stood before in the kitchen.

"Jack I think we should move to that warmer country sooner." She stated without looking at him but instead keeping all her attention on the soup that she was stirring. "I think we should go now." She mumbled.

Jack sighed. He knew that this would happen. "Rose you don't have long before you have the baby and I don't want you to stress. We will just stay here until you have it then we will move." He said. "As a family." He added when she looked at him.

She smiled but it was a half hearted smile. "I hope so Jack." She placed a large bowl of soup in front of him. "Now please eat something! You haven't eaten in days." Jack sighed but picked up the spoon she offered him. His hand shook and he tried desperately to control it. The spoon lifted the soup but his shaking hand only made it fall off again.

"Rose I will eat later. I promise." He leaned up to kiss her but the effort was too much for his body. She leaned down instead.

Jack shivered. "Is it cold in here?"

Rose shook her head. "No, we have the fire going. It's nice and warm." She placed her hand on his forehead. "But you are boiling hot Jack!" She looked at him with concern. "Are you sure you are okay?"

Jack nodded. "Of course I am hot! I am good looking after..." But Jack was cut off by the sound of Clara crying. Rose looked back at Jack then towards Clara's room, then back at Jack. "Go to her. I'm fine." He smiled. Rose rushed off to Clara.

Jack looked down at his soup. He knew that it wasn't soon now. "I really don't want to go." He whispered. "I like it here." Tears escaped from his eyes. He stumbled up from his chair and slowly took the bowl towards the sink. He stood there, looking out the window into the garden. He liked his life. He knew that there were so many things he would miss about it but he knew that he would miss Rose the most. Her long red hair that fell in curls around her face, her eyes, her smile. He loved those things, those were the things that helped him make it through the day and those were the things that had helped him and made him survive that night of the sinking of the Titanic. And now after everything that had happened he was going to leave her now.

"You're getting ahead of yourself Jack." He whispered as he wiped the tears from his eyes. "You still have a few more months to go at the very least. And maybe Rose is right, maybe you will get better." He composed himself just before Rose walked back into the kitchen.

She wrapped her arms around him and kissed his cheek. "I love you Jack."

He laughed, though not his musical laugh that she was used to but rough and tired as if it drained all of his energy. "You remember the day we met, don't you?" He smiled.

Rose nodded. "How could I forget I was hanging off the back of a ship!"

He laughed again. "I thought I was the one who made the jokes around here? Anyway you are still as beautiful as the day I met you Rose. You always will be and that is why I love you."

"Because I am good looking?"

"No!" Jack grinned even more. "I mean you are beautiful on the inside Rose and of course the outside." He said looking her up and down.

This made her laugh for real, something she hadn't done since she had found out about Jack's sickness. "Well you are pretty good looking yourself. I am so glad I am with you instead of having to marry Cal."

Jack smiled and kissed her again. "How about we go sit in the garden today? Just us and we can talk and I can draw." He asked

"That sounds like a great idea." She raced towards the back door but remember Jack and how slow he was now. She ran back over to him and smiled. "I remember when you said that the day I beat you in a race pigs would fly! I see no flying pigs Jack!"

Jack shrugged. "Who says you won." He ran as fast as he could out the door and into the garden. Rose ran after him, slowing down to let him win.

"I guess we will still have to wait for that day then?" They kissed under the large oak. Jack stumbled to the garden and sat under the tree, taking in the sight of Rose before him.

"You are so beautiful Rose."

She sat down next to him and sighed. She lay down and looked up at the clear sky above them. She tilted her head to look at Jack. "And you are so handsome." Jack got out his sketch book and started to draw. He drew her again for the fifth time in weeks, making sure that he never got any detail wrong or left anything out. Whenever he drew her he made sure that he drew her perfect. But nothing would ever compare to the first time he drew her picture. He couldn't help but blush from the memory.

"Jack you are blushing." Rose stated. "Why?"

"I was just remembering the first time I had to draw you." He looked down at his sketch pad the whole time not wanting her to see how much he was blushing.

She laughed. "I love that drawing. Too bad we don't have it."

Jack laughed. "Well I can always draw another one?" He asked.

Now Rose was blushing and she couldn't control the grin spreading across her face. "I suppose you could. But..." she paused and took a deep breath.

Jack looked at her questionably. "Rose?" he asked.

She just smiled. "I'm fine. Now where was I?"

"Rose what is wrong?" Jack asked again but Rose just rolled her eyes. "Rose?"

She smiled. "Nothing too bad. I just think I am having the baby."

"NOTHING TOO BAD!" He shouted. "We need to get you to the hospital." He tried to get up but each time he fell back to the ground, his weak arms not strong enough to support him.

"You were saying?" Rose laughed.

Jack tried numerous times to get up before Rose simply stood up and helped him. "I'll get Clara then." Before Jack could say a word Rose had rushed off towards the house. He stumbled off after her, his lack of balance was caused by his dizziness.

"Not now Jack." He said to himself as he finally reached the door just as Rose was coming out, Clara in her arms. Both of their faces lit up when they saw Jack.

"Come on, let's go then." Rose said. She took Jack's hand in her own. "You're coming too. This is your fault after all." She went to smile but stopped.

"Are you okay?" Jack asked, Rose just nodded.

Everyone piled into the car. Jack went around to the driver's seat but Rose stopped him. "You are too sick to drive." She stated as she got into the seat.

"And you are having a baby!" Rose glared at him and he knew that he had lost the fight. He got into the seat next to her and she drove off towards the hospital.

She huffed and puffed as they drove and when they had finally reached the hospital she wasn't sure if she could walk the few feet to the door. Jack held up his wobbly legs by holding onto the side of the car and walked around to where she was.

"Grab Clara." Rose did as she was told. Jack took his shaking and sweating arms and placed them around her, lifting her.

"YOU CAN'T CARRY ME! You are to sick."

Jack smiled. "Just watch me." He carried her all the way to the door and into the hospital. The nurse at the desk looked at the both of them and almost went into shock.

"She is having a baby." Jack said. The nurse pointed towards a hall and Jack went to carry Rose down it but was stopped by the nurse.

"Sir you need to be looked over. You look awfully sick."

She went to turn him around but Jack stopped her. "I need to look after my wife. Now please let me take her to a bed." The nurse looked him up and down and nodded.

Jack walked as quickly as he could down the hall. He turned into a room and placed her on a bed. Rose sat up, Clara still in her arms.

"Let me take her." A nurse came into the room and took Clara. She placed her down into a cradle which had been brought into the room just for her. "Now let's see how far along you are."

The nurse looked over at Jack. "You should leave Sir."

But Jack shook his head. "No I am staying with my wife." He took Rose's hand and lent down beside her ear. "I love you." He whispered.

Rose puffed some more and squeezed Jack's hand tightly. "I love you too."

"Not long now." The nurse smiled. Rose continued to squeeze Jack's hand.

Jack looked up at the clock and watched as the minutes ticked over. But suddenly everything became hazy. He shook his head to try and clear it but that just made everything worse. His vision was blurred and he felt light headed. He stumbled on the spot, tripping over his own feet. He looked down at Rose, the effort hurting his head even more. He could see her looking up at him, concern all over her face. He tired to speak to her but his lips couldn't form the words. They seemed to get muddled together. He looked around to see the nurse looking just as concerned as Rose. He looked back at Rose and tried to speak again. He tried a few more times before finally the words came out clear.

"Rose I love you." His vision blurred some more and his head started to feel heavy. He tried to take a step forward but instead almost fell over. He looked back at Rose one more time before finally his vision blacked out all together and he fell to the ground.

Rose looked down at him in shock. She tried to get out from her bed but the nurse pushed her back down. "CONTINUE BREATHING!" She ordered. The nurse rushed out of the room and came back a few minutes later with another nurse, who looked down at Jack in shock. The two nurses whispered to each other before finally a doctor entered the room. He looked at Rose in the bed and then down at Jack. He ordered the nurses to picked him up and take him to the room next door.

He came over to Rose. "Everything is going to be fine Miss."

Rose went to say something but was stopped. The pain making her realise that she was actually having a baby.

"One more push." The doctor said. Rose did as she was told and the silence in the room was broken by the sound of a baby's cries.

"Miss you have a beautiful baby boy." The doctor wrapped the baby in a towel and handed him to Rose.

Rose looked down at her son. She knew as soon as she saw him that he looked like Jack. Tears ran down her face. "Where's my husband? What happened to him?"

"His fine." The doctor said. "He just fainted."

"But will he stay fine?" Asked Rose.

"I don't know Miss." The doctor sighed and left the room, leaving Rose and her new baby behind in silence.
