"What?" Jack asked him.
"It's not safe here anymore. You're wanted all over New York, and your only option is to move out west. Jack, I've contacted your Aunt Josephine in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, who will be moving to Los Angeles in California," Joseph replied.
"I have an Aunt Josephine?" asked Jack.
"There's a Josephine Dawson out in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, and when I mentioned you in the telegraph, she replied saying that she remembers a nephew she had named Jack Dawson, though she thought you'd died in a fire along with your parents. I've arranged a train ride for the two of you, but you'll have to go in disguise," Joseph replied. "What you're wearing now is fine. Now, hurry! Let's go!"
"Wait!" said Jack. "We're just married and Rose is close to having the baby! We can't leave! She could go into labor while we're traveling! And it's almost December! We can't have a baby in the snow! They'd never survive!"
"Jack, you have no choice. You must go now or you could be arrested and possibly gunned down," Joseph said. "Let's go!"

They arrived at the train station quickly. Joseph got their bags onto the train and Jack, with a fake moustache, hopped on and grabbed them.
"Now, remember, your names are Peter and Josephine Burke, and you're traveling to Wisconsin to visit family. Do not mess this up. Understood?" Joseph told them. They nodded.
"Rose, I mean, Josephine, let's go," Jack told her.
Rose didn't follow. "Thank you so much for helping us, Daddy," Rose told him.
"Anytime you need me, baby, I'll be there," he said. He kissed Rose's head. "Good-bye, Rosebud. And good luck." Rose smiled as Jack took her hand and they got onto the train. Rose waved good-bye to him through the window as the train began to pull out of the station. Joseph waved good-bye as well, nodding his head to Jack. The train pulled out of the station and disappeared from view. Rose turned back to Jack and leaned her head on his shoulder. Jack kissed her head. The conductor came through to get the tickets. He came to them, and they handed him their tickets.
"Heading to Wisconsin, are you?" asked the conductor. "You married, Mr. and Mrs. Burke?"
"Yes, sir," said Jack.
"And you have a baby on the way?" asked the conductor.
"Yes, sir," said Rose under the hat.
"Good luck in Wisconsin," said the conductor, and walked into the next car.
Jack let out a breath. "Well, Josephine. Looks like we're getting away with this!" Jack exclaimed, his arms wrapped around her shoulders. He kissed her forehead.
"Jack, do you think that Lynette and Martin left for Chicago already?" Rose asked him.
Jack shrugged. "I guess so," he replied.
