For All Eternity: Part 9


Rated PG
©1999 Kirki @ Leos-Rooikop@mailexcite.com
based on some characters
and situations originated by James Cameron

Synopsis: Jack and Rose spent their first night together, as husband and wife and woke up teasing each other. Ruth made friends with Jack and invited them both to watch them dock with her.

The happy couple walked out onto the upper deck, holding hands. It seemed as if the entire ships population had decided to watch their approach into New York's harbour. There were kids running around chasing each other, with some nannies chasing after them! Huddles of mourning widows, who still look like they are in shock. The original passengers of the Carpathia seemed happier. It was like they couldn't wait to be free of the morbid air that hung around the ship.

"Look Jack! Mother is over there. Molly is with her," said Rose as they headed in her direction.

Ruth and Molly were standing on the bow, deep in conversation. It was quite a wondrous sight to Rose, as they had never been the best of friends, let alone on civil speaking terms. Molly had always been "new money", no matter what she did. Therefore, to see them quite close was amazing. It was a pity however, that it took the tragedy of Titanic's sinking, to make them realise just how much they really need each other.

"Good morning ladies," greeted Jack and he and Rose closed the last few feet between them. "Can you see anything yet?"

"I'm sorry we took so long. Mother, Molly," said Rose, giving each lady a hug.

"No, not yet. I believe we should any mom...", began Ruth but was cut off by Molly's excited shrill.

"Look! I can see land! Look, everyone! New York! Ah, to be back home once more!" shouted Molly, nearly behaving as a young child would on Christmas Day.

The others were stunned at Molly's outburst, but soon saw the land for themselves and grew excited. The news spread like wild fire and the whole ship erupted in laughter and cheers.

Fabrizio and Tommy had been on the stern when the news first broke, and had decided to come and see the land for themselves. There they met Rose, Jack, Ruth and Molly, exchanging their stories of what had happened the night before and what their plans were once they got off the Carpathia.

Before long, the Carpathia was sailing into New York's harbour. There were hundreds of people waiting on the docks, along with another hundred comprising of press photographers and media persons. The group had decided to go down below once more, to make a final check that they had not forgotten anything. They were to meet at the docking entrance in one half hour.

"Jack, it is so unbelievable to have finally made it to dry land. Now we can truly start our lives together!" exclaimed a happy, yet relieved Rose. She hugged her husband and once more thanked her lucky stars for bringing Jack into her life.

"Yes, my dearest Rose. Now the good times begin!" said Jack, returning the hug. "Come sweetie, we must meet the others.

The group once more assembled and together they walked down the ramp. There were photographic flashes and many people shouting questions all at once. It was practically too much to handle. They were guided to the awaiting cars and then whisked off to the hotel assigned to them. Each were once more lost in their thoughts, still unable to come to terms with the fact of how dramatically their lives had been changed.

Rose and Jack were united finally. Ruth and Molly were good friends and Fabrizio had found a new confidante in Tommy. Each were happy and looking forward to their successes, which they knew would happen and be with them for all eternity.
