Roses Pov

Tonight was plagued by storms. Lightening lit up the sky and the thunder never made it quiet. The rain poured and Josephine was awake unable to get to sleep. She cried and cried for it all to stop. So I held her in my arms in my room and started singing to her.

"Come Josephine in my flying machine going up she goes. Up she goes", a thunder bolt sounded, "balance yourself like a bird on a beam", but it intensified and so did her crying. "In the air she goes. There she goes. Up up a little bit higher", I continued to sing to her, "oh my! The moon is on fire. Come Josephine in my flying machine going up all on goodbye", I sung quieter to her as I looked out of the window to a figure with a white shirt. Jack.

I immediately put Josephine down in the drawer and ran to him. I slipped down the bottom of the green now brown, muddy hill. The wind and the rain kept pushing me back. But I kept charging on to him. "JACK!", I called to him, "JACK!", wrapped my arms around him beginning to sob. "Oh Jack oh Jack oh Jack oh Jack", I gripped onto him tightly. He then placed his hands on my back and held me by my head.

"Shhhhhhh", his voice hushed, "you're alright Rose", he stroked my hair, "you're alright", I then pulled apart to see his face. His glistening blue eyes, his long gorgeous blonde hair. His button nose and tanned skin. We both just stood and stared. Nothing between us had changed. Neither had the desire for each other. We immediately passionately kissed. My fingers entwined in his hair as he did the same. And our hands gave each other back rubs, "Oh Jack", he moved off my face and elsewhere on my body.

"I've longed for you for so long Rose", his kisses ran all down my neck.

"I've..I've missed you", we kissed again, "oh Jack", he just held me. All clean fresh and dry. While the rain clinged onto me. Rolling down off my body.

"Come Josephine on my flying machine going up she goes. Up she goes", Jack started to sing to me.

"In the air she goes. There she goes!", we sung together, "up up a little bit higher. Oh my! The moon is on fire. Come Josephine in my flying machine going up all on goodbye"

"Oh Jack I've missed singing that with you", he just smiled at me, "I can't believe I'm here really. Living and sleeping in your own bed. Standing on your own house that you grew up in", I got excited about seeing him again.

"Rose. I'm not stupid. Your hurt. I know. I know what I did to you and Josie. I know that you are in pain cause of me"

"No. Stop Jack. Stop right now!", I stepped back away from his touch. My head couldn't take what he is saying. What is he saying?

"Come on Rose. Don't be rash", he tried to touch me.

"Jack! Just don't touch me ok! I need. I need to think", I wanted him to stay away.

"I'm.. Im sorry", he put his hands in his pockets and waited nervously. He didn't even look at me, just at the ground. He wanted this reunion to be perfect like it was when Josephine was born. He knows that I'm hurt and he wants to make everything right. That's why he came back tonight. But I've screwed up.

"Jack I'm sorry", I stood in the cold pouring rain looking at him kicking around the rocks at his feet, "I know how much it feels..-", I squeezed the sides of his arms.

"No Rose don't! Just don't alright!", he walked away from me looking up at the dark purple sky that was like a fantastic painting that he could draw. "You have no idea the amount of lost I've encountered. You, Josie, my parents, my family and friends. So don't you ever look back at what you could of done, alright? Cause then you will only blame yourself and beat yourself up because of it. And we don't want that now will we?", his hand cupped my face, "I'm sorry Rose alright. I'm sorry", he looked straight into my eyes. When mine started to well in tears, "come here", he said as thunder sounded and lightening striked. "There's nothing you could of done to save me. So just forget about it. You have Josie now. You don't need me"

"BUT I DO NEED YOU! WE NEED YOU!"

"And you don't think I think about that?! everyday Rose! Every single day you and Josie go through my mind. I can't get you out of my head! You drive me insane wanting to come down here. Wanting to be with you forever"

"THEN WHY CANT YOU?!", I yelled at him.

"Cause that's not the way it works Rose", he took a breath and said sadly, "listen I know it's not right, but this is all we have", he cliched my hand, "Josephine is what we have. You jump I jump remember? I can't turn away without knowing you'll be alright. That's all I ask. I love you Rose. I know I never got to say it to you when you said it to me. But I do. I really do. And we have a beautiful daughter to prove that. Rose. I will always be here for you and Joe even though I'm not. I'll always be watching over you and her. You have nothing to worry about. I'll look after you and her from above alright. You just gotta trust that Rose"

"But how do I know that Jack?"

"Faith Rose. It's called faith. And sometimes that's all us humans need. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. You'll be alright. I promise", he kissed me again with the storm getting louder and more windy.

"But how will I know where you are? Where will you be?"

"You've got to trust me Rose"

"But how?!  I can't!", I yelled not hearing him from the rain and him slowly fading out.

"Faith Rose. Faith", then his body disappeared. Josephine cried. And I fell to my knees.

"JJJJJJJAAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!", I howled his name. I then sat on the concrete and curled myself up in a ball waiting for the cold to take me.

"ROSE! ROSE!", Caitlin ran down the slippery slope hill to me, "OH! ROSE!", she picked me up off the ground and threw a blanket around me. She then slowly led me up to the house trying not to slip so then we wouldn't fall over.

I slowly walked up the creaky stairs to where Josephine's cry was coming from. I then saw the door open with her screaming and waving her arms around. I then stood and looked over her. She is so beautiful. She's the perfect combination between me and Rose. No wonder why Rose is always happy when she's with her.

"There there Josephine", I managed to pick her up and hold her. I then began to sing to her, "come Josephine in my flying machine going up she goes up she goes..-", she she began to settle down and stare at me, "balance yourself like a bird on a beam in the air she goes. There she goes. Up up a little bit higher, oh my!", she began to smile and chuckle, "the moon is on fire! Come Josephine in my flying machine going up all on goodbye", I finished as she was quiet, "aren't you the cutest little thing huh", I kissed her forehead, "you know who I am don't ya?", I began to talk to her, "well I'm your daddy. I know you won't see me round, but I'll always be here. Watching over you and mummy. You can always talk to me about your problems and boys especially. Cause I'll always be there for you no matter what", I baby talked and kissed her. She then started to stir while I held her in my hands, "no wonder why mummy feels better with you. When we hold you we don't think about the past. It's like it's not even there. Like it didn't even happen. But when we look at you. It makes us happy cause we have a link to each others happy fun memories", I rocked her in my arms. She stared at me widely with her big blue eyes, that are identical to  mine.

Then something felt different. Something had come over me but I don't know what it is. I then looked to see where her hands were. One clenched my white shirt and the other had a tight grip on my finger with her trying to eat it. I just watched her as my finger entered her mouth as she tried to chew on it. 3 months old. 3 months since she was born. And 12 months since she was conceived in the hot back of the new Renault car. Wow Time flies.

She continued to munch on my finger and play with my shirt. The more she did, the happier and more smiley she got. She is super adorable. I started to chuckle as she tickled me from her gums.

"If you need anything just call me alright", I told her as I moved my finger round for her, "I'll always be watching and listening", I kissed her again as I held her in close. Not wanting to put her down and go back. Then the front door flew with the strong force winds shoving the girls onto the floor, "daddy's got to go now Josie. I'll always watch out for you and mummy  I promise", I gave her one last kiss before I put her back down in my old dresser drawers. I then slowly made my way out of the room and closing the door, wanting to go back in. But your not real Jack. You're dead! A dead person can't be alive again and continue out his life as it once was. Least of all fathering your own child that you left your one true love with. I then heard her beginning to talk and make her baby noises again, "I'm.. I'm sorry", I walked away depressed from the door. I then sat on the bottom of the stairs and watched Caitlin rush around trying to help Rose get warm and not get a fever.

"He was there Catey. I swear. I SWEAR!", she sobbed, "I saw him. I saw Jack! I saw Jack I saw Jack I saw Jack I saw Jack", she cried into the sofa. I can't feel anymore depressed or hopeless then I already am. Knowing that this was all my fault and that I put Rose in such pain. Knowing for years to come that this is all I'm possibly going to hear. A cry for help. A plea for me to be back in her life. A plea for me to stay and to never go. But I can't. And this is the outcome.

"Rose you're hurt. You're delusional. I know what day it is today. I understand. But Jack is gone. You can't see someone who is dead", she told Rose who sobbed/ cried even more. I don't want her to think I'm not real and not there. Cause then she won't talk to me and she'll be worse. Then she'll never be the same girl I once loved. I then waved my hand so Rose can see me briefly for a bit. Just to make her happy. Just to reassure her I was there. I am here now. Watching her. And our daughter.

"THERE!", she points to me, "HE'S HERE! Jack? Jack come out of hiding", she begged me. Either though it's against the rules for a ghost to be seen by a human that isn't your family or who you're visiting/helping. So I can't. I can't risk not seeing her ever again. I have to stay hidden, "Jack please!", she screamed for me, "JACK! Please help me!!!", she broke herself down.

"Rose, theres nothing there", she tells her.

"No! He's there. I saw him!", Rose fought back at her. Caitlin then had enough and went upstairs to get Josephine. I just sat and watched Rose as she cried tears wanting me to be actually with her. I then walked out the door and walked down the cold empty street. That had leaves and wind blowing all around me. Trees falling down on cars and bins flying around making a racket hitting the concrete road below. It is chaotic, wet, loud and cold.

"Here Rose", I sat up to take Josephine. I sucked up and wiped away my tears from my eyes. She is so calm and relaxed. It made my feel so much better. Knowing that she is alright. That she is loved. I then kissed her small forehead.

"I love you Jack", I said to her before I lent on Caitlin and broke down in tears.

*an hour later*

"Rose you might want to get some sleep. It's already 1:20 in the morning"

"No thank you Caitlin. I'll stay up a bit longer", I told her.

"Well alright then", she slowly started to walk away from the couch, "and Josie is fine with you?", she asked as I rocked her little cradle.

"Yeah. She's fast asleep anyways so", Caitlin then went upstairs and crashed.

The only sounds you can hear is the wind outside and the clock ticking on the wall. I stared at it remembering  every second of Titanic's maiden voyage. Me running below decks. Creating Josephine. Me saving Jack. Me and Jack trapped when the steward dropped the keys. Me getting into a boat and jumping out into Jacks arms. Jack beating the shit out of Lovejoy and then the ship going down. The water. The screams. The ice dead cold people. Jack.

The clock then struck 2:20am

Water rushed up in my system like it was bringing me down. Sucking me down into my depression. I then began to cry again.

1 hour and 40 minuets later I grabbed Caitlin's watch and ran down to lake Wissota.
