A/N: Hey guys. Yeah it has been forever! Anyways, Merry Christmas! This is my little Christmas present to all of you. I know I lied. I said I would update soon but now here we are, 3 months later and I am finally updating! I am just letting you know I have an excuse! 3 months ago, I looked back on my previous chapters and I saw that, my story was kinda lame. So I went back and re wrote all of it. Not changing any of the plot, just adding more detail and such. I still have 4 chapters to rewrite but, I thought hey! It's time I should update. I have had half of this chapter done for a while now, I just wanted to rewrite most of it before I posted again. So without further ado, here is the next chapter! :)

After Josephine had finished looking at my finished drawing, we both got up and made our way back to our compartment. I pulled the door open and let Josephine in and then I walked in. I glanced over to Rose, who was still fast asleep as she rested her head on the window. I feel my heart swell with overwhelming happiness as I watch her. Words can't describe how much I love her. Josephine made her way to where she sat before and I sat next to Rose. I watch as Josephine brings her legs up on the velvet red seats and she gazes out the window with a small smile. I sigh as I see that ugly bruise across her eye and cheek. That is just a reminder of how much I hate Cal. After a while of silence, I see Josephine yawn and a smile broke across my face as she slowly falls asleep.

I glance between Rose and my daughter with a smile. They are both so beautiful. I can't believe how lucky I have been. I found my Rose and I have a child. I glance at them again and consider that it might be a good idea if I get some sleep. I wrap my arm around Rose and lean my head against the back of the seat. Just as I start to get tired, I hear Rose whisper next to me, "Jack?"

My eyes snap open and I turn to see Rose, who is wide awake and looking up at me with a smile. I raise my eyebrows and smirk at her. I tease, "You are very good at pretending to be asleep." She lets out a quiet giggle and playfully rolled her eyes while giving me a goofy smile. But she suddenly stopped smiling and she quickly exclaimed, "No! I forgot you didn't really get enough sleep last night. Ignore me, Go back to sleep." She scooted away from me and closer to the window.

I shake my head and scoot closer back over to her. I put my arm around her again and say, "No. It's fine Rose. I'm not even tired," I give her a small mischievous smile. "But it is kind of your fault that I didn't get enough sleep last night, with you seducing me and whatnot."

She lets out a small laugh and leaned her head against my chest. She grabbed my hand and laced her fingers through mine. She let out a giggle and said shamefully, "Okay I admit it. I was being somewhat seductive last night." I let out a snort and exclaim quietly, "Somewhat seductive?" I snort again and add, "Yeah right."

Rose playfully slapped me in the arm and said laughing, "Shut up!" She glanced up at me and said with a curious tone, "Where did you and Josephine go?" I glance back down at her and say nonchalantly, "I went out in the dining area to sketch and she came and found me," I smile and add, "I drew her."

Rose's green irises light up and she asks in an interested tone, "Oh really? Can I see?" I grin at her and nod. I grab the sketchbook on the other side of me and hand it to her. She flips through and looks through my previous drawings before Josephine. She raises her eyebrows and gives me an amused look. She says in an amused tone, "Mr. Big Artiste I am glad to see that there are no more nude drawings of other women in here."

I lean my head back and let out a little laugh. I haven't even thought of doing another nude drawing of another woman. Nothing could compare to Rose. I scoff at her and kiss the top of her head. I exclaim, "Are you kidding! I could never do another one of those," I lean down and whisper seductively in her ear. "Well unless it was you I was drawing."

Rose's eyes widened as she looked up at me and exclaimed, "Well, well, well. Who is being seductive now?" I smirk at her and lean down and softly kiss her lips. Her lips linger on mine for a few moments before giving me a look and turning her head back to the sketchbook. She turns the page before finally landing on Josephine's picture. Her face was turned and facing out towards the window. I made sure that her bruise wouldn't show in the drawing. Her left hand was brought towards the left side of her face as she gazed out the window. A smile spreads across Rose's face and she whispers, "It's beautiful."

I glance over at Josephine and all those questions that swarmed my head a while ago starting popping into my head again. I start to wonder what Josephine was like as a child. I continue to look over at Josephine as I ask, "Rose?" She lifted her head, furrowing her eyebrows. "Yeah?"

"Can you tell me about Josephine when she was younger?" I asked curiously. Rose raised her eyebrows in interest and said, "Okay," She let out a little laugh before beginning, "She was a pretty mellow kid, well up until she met her friend Maddie. After that she got a little crazy," She let out a little laugh and I watch as Rose's eyes light up with a bunch of memories. She continued, "When she was a baby, she laughed all the time. You could make any noise or just look at her in a funny way and she just burst out laughing."

I let out a little chuckle. I shake my head and sigh. I say quietly, "I wish I could have been there to see it. I can't help but feel sad that I missed out on her whole life." Rose gave me a sad look and pressed her hand to my cheek. She sighed but then gave me a small smile, "Well it's a good thing I have a lot of stories to tell you."

I turn to her and a feel a smile spread across my face. I lean forward and gently kiss her lips. I pull away and give her a grin. Rose smiles back and sighs looking like she was trying to think of a story to tell. She starts, "Well let me start with her first words."

Flashback

(third person p.o.v)

January 3rd, 1914

It was Josephine's first birthday. Rose was trying to make it as special as possible. She had spent some of that week's pay check from her small waitressing job on a small cake at a little bakery down the street from their Brooklyn apartment. It was a little chocolate cake with white frosting and blue icing that spelled out, 'Happy Birthday!' Rose had tried making her a birthday cake, but it hadn't turned out so well. She still hadn't gotten very good at cooking yet, seeing as she was cooked for her whole life. Molly had taught her a few things but she still wasn't a master chef. Molly had been kind enough to get Josephine a doll for her birthday.

Josephine loved the thing to death. She would never let the thing out of her sight. Rose had placed Josephine in her highchair, doll in hand of course, and brought the cake over to her singing the birthday song quietly to her. Josephine stared in awe at the new delicious looking food in front of her. Her big blue eyes widened as Rose placed it in front of her.

Rose couldn't believe how big she had gotten over the past few months. Her blonde hair had gotten a lot longer and now had little curls at the base of her neck. Rose couldn't believe it had been a year since she was born. It felt like it was just yesterday. Rose kissed the top of her head and whispered, "Happy birthday sweetie."

Rose turned around for a moment to get a fork to feed her with but when she turned back around Josephine had already dug her hand into the cake and started to feed herself. Rose's jaw dropped but couldn't help the smile that spread across her face. "Josephine!" She said in a laughing shock.

Josephine brings her hand to her face to eat more but accidently smears the cake all over her face. She sees Rose's expression and starts to giggle hysterically. Rose couldn't help but laugh back at her daughter. She brought a chair in front of Josephine's highchair and Josephine held out her hand towards Rose; gesturing that she wants Rose to eat some. Rose laughed and leaned forward, eating some of the cake off of her hands. Josephine burst out into another fit of giggles and stuffed more cake into her mouth. This time, some of the cake in her hands fell and landed right on her new doll. Rose quickly grabbed a napkin off of the nearby table and before she could wipe it off, Josephine exclaimed, "Shit!"

Rose's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. At first she didn't even acknowledge that it was a curse word, she was just so excited that she said her first word. Rose picked her up out of the highchair and exclaimed, "Josie, Sweetheart! You said your first word!" Then suddenly it started to sink in what Josie had actually said. Rose shook her head and gave Josephine a baffled look. "Josie!"

"So Josephine's first word was shit?" I ask between laughs. Rose gave a little chuckle and nodded. I turn to her and ask, "Where did she here that?"

Rose laughed quietly and answered, "When Molly babysat her occasionally, it turns out her husband doesn't have the cleanest mouth." I laugh again and glance at a sleeping Josephine. It doesn't really surprise me that was her first word though. Rose laughed again and continued, "A couple weeks later, she started walking and you should have seen me chasing after her all the time. She was so mobile all the time. Then when she was two, she started to get so talkative. She really would talk to anyone that came up to her. Or she would go to them. That was when the never talk to strangers conversation was started. But when she started school she became a little quieter and shy."

I wish I was there. I love hearing these stories but I will never have seen her as a child. She is such a beautiful young lady; she must have been a beautiful child. I just hope that one day, Rose and I can share the experience of raising a child together in the future.

A/N: Hope all of you enjoyed that! I know it's short but I am finishing this at 1:30 am and I don't know how much longer I can stay awake! I have no idea when I will update. But hopefully it is sooner than three months from now. But just know that, no matter how longer between updates, I will always post another. I'm not giving up on this story! No matter how lazy I get! Haha! But please review, they will make me motivated. :)
