ROSE AFTER TITANIC
Chapter Eight
Rose was putting a roast in the oven when the
doorbell rang.
"I will get it," Jack called from
the living room.
"Okay," Rose replied.
"Come on in," Jack told Cal.
"Do you want anything to drink?"
"No, thank you," Cal replied,
taking off his coat.
"Rose and I have some news for
you."
"What is it?"
"I will let Rose tell you. Rose, come
here and tell Cal the good news."
"I am pregnant with twins," Rose
replied.
"That is great news," Cal replied,
hugging Jack and then Rose, who had come into the living room. "Well, I
should be going,"
"Don't you want to stay?" Rose
asked.
"No. You and Jack should celebrate
alone. I will stop by in a few days."
"Okay. I will see you then." Rose
hugged Cal.
"Bye," Cal called as he walked out
the door.

Rose was finishing making dinner when she
climbed on the counter to get a bowl for a salad. She lost her balance and fell
to the floor.
"Rose!" Jack called, running into
the kitchen.
"Jack, I think I lost the babies,"
Rose sobbed.
"I will call the doctor. Just hang on."
