Tommy sat on a bench as he watched Muriel run around the deck, trying to catch the twins. He had never seen any children as hyper as Margaret and Edith. The two young girls ran around their older sister, wanting her to catch them or jumped off the bench, into the air. He was thankful Thomas was a bit calmer, just sitting down, watching the girls play. But even he asked to spend more time with Tommy instead of his sisters.

"You really like my sister, do you?" Thomas asked noticing he was watching them.

"She's a nice girl", Tommy answered.

"Are you going to marry her?" he asked.

"What?" he asked looking at him. "What are you talking about?"

"You and Muriel always spend time together. Ever since she met you, she's been a lot happier than we've ever seen her."

"We're just friends", Tommy smiled. "We barely know each other. It's far too early to think of marriage."

Muriel laughed as the girls climbed onto her back. She was going to miss the children when she moved out on her own. When she married someday, she wanted to have a houseful of kids. Muriel pulled Edith off her shoulders.

"Okay, that's enough", she said. "Go jump on Thomas for a while."

Tommy and Muriel laughed as they watched the twins run to Thomas, piling on top of him. She sat down with Tommy, watching the kids run across the deck.

"Quite a handful", Tommy said watching them.

"Yeah", Muriel said. "But you learn to love them."

The two of them watched the children play. Muriel's eyes wandered up to the first class promenade deck. Her eyes widened as she saw a man in his 40s with a young woman a little older than herself sporting a pregnant belly.

"Have you ever seen a scandal like that?" she whispered to Tommy.

He looked at her and took a look at the couple. It made him sick to his stomach seeing a young woman with such an older man. He looked at Muriel, hoping she wouldn't do such a thing.

"I can't wait to have kids someday", she sighed.

"You want kids?" Tommy asked.

"Maybe four or five", Muriel answered. "I love kids."

He smiled and continued to look around. He and Muriel were surprised and amused when they saw Jack walk along the first class deck with the woman they saw the other day. They couldn't help but laugh at him. He stuck out like a sore thumb among the first class passengers who all dressed elegantly.

"He really is a lucky bastard", Tommy said. "What I wouldn't give to be in first class."

"I know", Muriel said. "Imagine what it would be like to live a life of luxury. Have no worries about work or living in poor conditions."

He put his hand over hers with a smile. He understood it was going to be hard, making a new life in America. He just hoped Muriel would have an easier time adjusting to a new country. Muriel looked at their hands and looked up at him. Tommy was such a sweet person. She hoped they would be able to stay in touch once they got to America.

Muriel looked at Tommy's eyes, feeling entranced by them. Blue like the ocean… Tommy looked at her, feeling compelled by how kind she was. She was going to make someone a fine wife someday.

Everyone jumped as they heard what sounded like a bugle horn coming from first class. They still hadn't gotten used to the ship's officers announcing dinner like a cavalry charge.

"Is that the time already?" Tommy asked.

"It certainly had gone by fast", Muriel agreed.

They got up and took the children's hands to go to the third class galley.
