ROSE AFTER TITANIC
Chapter Six

A Few Minutes Later

Rose heard someone knocking on her door. Drying her eyes, she went to answer it.

"Hi, Rose," Jack said.

"Hi, Jack."

"Rose, what is wrong?"

"They found the baby's parents. I know I should be happy, but in the past two weeks, I have grown to love the infant, and had hopes to adopt him."

"Rose, there are other babies that need to be adopted."

"I know."

"So, what do you say about us adopting a child together?"

"That sounds wonderful, Jack, but I will always miss the infant I found in the alley behind this building."

"I know you will, Rose," Jack said, hugging her.

"Thank you for letting me stay at your place for a few weeks," Cal said.

"You are welcome, Cal," said Molly Brown.

"I can't believe how foolish I used to be. I hope someday to find a way to get Rose to forgive me."

"I am sure you will."
