A month had passed since the wedding and it was a Saturday morning. Rose was reading on the sofa as Jack sketched a picture of Tilly and Sophia who were playing on the floor together when they heard the post come through the door. "I'll get it!" Tilly grinned running to the door, Sophia toddling behind her.
"There you go" Tilly smiled as she passed it to Jack "thanks sweetheart" he smiled and watched as she sat back down. He turned to Rose seeing the envelope "this one is addressed to us both?" He said as she sat up straight to open it with her.

Matilda Ophelia Dawson
Sophia Isobel Dawson
"Dawson" Rose laughed to herself "yep… we're the Dawson's" Jack smiled as he kissed her temple before looking back down to the girls…

Jack and Rose didn't go on to have anymore children, content with the girls and wanting to give them all their attention as they grew up. It never bothered Jack that he didn't have biological children of his own, seen as he'd never thought of Tilly and Sophia as less than.
Both girls went on to have family's of their own, finding people they loved rather than being forced to marry someone for status and money- much to both Jack and Rose's delight… and once both the girls hit adulthood, Jack and Rose began to spend each summer in Santa Monica riding horses along the beach, drinking cheap beer and riding the rollercoaster til' they threw up…
