Titanic: If Jack Lived

"December 1st"

*December*
Roses POV
I am now 8 months pregnant with me and Jacks baby, I have one more month to go, I can't wait !
My stomach is now huge! However for some reason I feel really self conscious when I go out, I don't know why, because jack told me that i would look beautiful, whatever shape or form I might be in, and I should trust him, I shouldn't care what anyone else thinks or says about me, as I have the best person that anyone could possibly marry!
It's December 1st, and Jack had asked Madame Delisetre if he could have today off as he has never actually had a proper Christmas tree when he was younger and he would love to be able to share that first moment with me! So she gave him the day off, as I hoped !
I lie in bed for hours looking up at the ceiling daydreaming about what was going to happen when the baby was born, would we be able to manage? Would I have to stay at home, all alone with the baby looking after it? However, then it dawned on me, I remembered the day that cal said he was going to kill the baby when it was born.... He knew where we lived. He could track us down.... and he must know by now that I am near to the time of the baby's birth, what will he do?

Jacks POV
I awoke this morning to Rose holding my hand and gently stroking the top of my forehead, her hand gliding along my temple, I picked it up and gave her a light kiss........
"Good morning darling" She said to me
I replied with "now, sweetie, you better get changed, and put on a coat, we are going out.It froze last night and you don't want the little one getting frost bite!"
I left the room so Rose could get changed, I wandered around the living room waiting and waiting........

We stepped outside into the freezing cold, it had snowed the previous night, it was about 1/2 an inch thick, not much but thick enough for me to make a mini snowman and put it in the middle of the garden, it made Rose giggle so much! Oh, how much I loved it when I saw that she was happy, and I was the one who put the spring back into her fading life.
We began to walk down a thin path, the scenery was beautiful, trees were tipped with crisp snowdrops , the ground, with a thin coat of snowman , like a blanket cooling the air that we inhaled....
We then turned down a small alley way, once again, hand in hand. I led Rose towards what I had been searching for, a forest.
We trekked across a field, getting closer and closer to the herd of trees. After about ten minutes, we had finally reached them "What the hell are we doing Jack? And why have you dragged me all the way here when I am heavily pregnant with our child!?"
I told her that I had brought her here so that she could pick a tree, as I wanted this Christmas to be about her, "oh Jack, you put everyone else before you self, I have never met anyone like you, ever" she said to be as I guided her within the woods....

Roses POV
Jack had finally got the tree inside and stood up in the living room, we had gathered some holly from nearby bushes in our garden, we decorated the whole house with them, we were having so much fun, Jack had found a very small bit of mistletoe and attached it to our bed frame. He placed me on the bed, and he told me to look up, and there it was that small piece of mistletoe, he then looked at me "well u guess we have no choice now Rose" he said to me as he pulled our heads together, we rolled into the bed and kissed for what felt like eternity, until we heard a loud "knock , knock" on the door.
Jack ran through the hallway to answer the door, he opened it and I heard two familiar voices, it was Julie and Annie!
I clambered off the bed and went over to the door, I saw them and they saw me,  Annie had a big brown box in her hand, she handed it to Jack and they then both rushed through to give me a hug "careful ladies, she has a little baby  growing inside of her!" Said Jack
"Oh my goodness, Rose that baby is growing quick! How much longer have you got left?"asked Annie
I smiled at her and said " one more month! And you'll both be able to cradle a little baby in your arms!"
"Well, You two, we came over today to give you a couple of decorations as we thought that you might want a bit of festivity within your home, and we had a few spare" Julie said to me and Jack as we made our way into the living room and she pointed at the box in Jacks arms.
We all sat down on the sofa together as Jack opened up the box, it was full of  mini metal identical angles that we could hang on our freshly cut tree. There was a variety of tinsel in the box , all different colours red, green , white, it was made from thin bits of wire and different coloured card wrapped around the wire, handmade.
I was overwhelmed with the objects in the box, we decorated the house with Julie and Annie for the rest of the day, hanging the delicate angles on the tree, wrapping tinsel around chairs, our bed , everywhere . I started to think that this would be the best Christmas ever, I would be surrounded by all the people that love and care about me, and we would have a beautiful house.

Julie and Annie left at around 9:00pm that night, me and Jack went to bed straight away, "now Rose, why don't we finish where we left off!"
He began to plant minuscule kisses upon my temple, then closer to my lips, then upon my lips, they got stronger by the minute and I could tell what was about to happen as his heart rate got faster.......
