Rose: Jack, what do you think became of Cora?

Jack: I think she's safe. I don't know about her parents, but I think Cora herself made it off alive.

Rose: Do you really think we'll survive this? If we do, we should look for her.

Jack: I think it's a good idea. But we need to survive first.

Me: You two are not starting in the water. You're already on the Carpathia. Wait to read the story.

Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater have both surprisingly survived the Titanic sinking. Rose is relieved to know Jack survived being in the freezing water all that time. They have just boarded the Carpathia and are drinking tea that the officer on the ship gave them.

"I love you, Jack." Rose said looking at him.

"I love you too, Rose" He replied with a half smile.

Rose smiled back. "You know, I can't help, but feel like something's missing."

Jack looked at her concerned. "Like what, Love?"

"That little girl from the party you took me to. What's her name again?"

"Cora? What about her? Rose, are you alright?"

"Yeah, Cora. I feel like something's wrong. I don't know why, but I just feel connected to her somehow."

Suddenly a little girl with curly brown hair the length to her shoulders and dark brown eyes walks up.

"Uncle Jack?" She said a bit shocked.

Rose and Jack look to where the voice came from and both have shocked faces.

"Cora?!" Jack asked.

"Yeah. Have you seen my Daddy? I can't find him."

"Uh...no I haven't. Lets go see if there's a survivors' list yet."

"Jack's right, Cora." Rose said taking her hand and leading her to an officer with a clip board in hand. "Excuse me, Sir?" Rose asked.

The man turned around and looked at her. "Yes, Miss? What seems to be the problem?"

"Is there a survivors' list for the people that survived the Titanic sinking yet?" Rose asked hopeful.

"We've got the first half. May I ask who you're looking for?"

"My Daddy." Cora said.

"What's your Daddy's name?" The officer asked softly.

"Richard Cartmell." Rose answered for her.

The officer looks through the names and can't find the name. "I'm sorry. He didn't survive." He said apologetically.

Cora started to cry her eyes out. "I'm all alone now." She sobbed uncontrollably.

Rose bends down to reassure her. "Cora? Cora listen to me."

Cora looked up with tears still streaming down her five year old cheeks. "Mommy died when I was a baby, Miss Rose."

"I know. Jack told me. I'm sorry about that, but you're not alone. You have Uncle Jack and you have..." She paused not sure if she's ready for the responsibility, but decides she can't let her into an orphanage and continues. "And you have me."

Cora looked at her and wiped her tears. "You?" She asked a bit shocked.

"Yes. You have me too. Cora, I love Jack and he loves me and we love you. We'll take care of you. I promise." Rose said wiping the rest of her tears gently with her thumbs.

Cora jumped in Rose's arms and hugged her tight. Rose hugged her back and picked her up walking over to Jack.

"Jack." Rose said as the two girls approached him.

"Yes, Rose?" He said looking at her.

"Cora's dad didn't make it. I told her we'd take care of her. I can't bare to let her be put into an orphanage. She'd die in there."

"We'll take care of her. We'll adopt her. Richard was my friend and I'll do anything to keep his daughter safe." He replied assuringly.

"Thank you, Jack." Rose said.

"We're gonna be a family!" Cora said excitedly.

Rose and Jack burst out laughing and hug her tight. "Yes. We are gonna be a family. A twisted Titanic surviving family." Jack said.

Three days later, the Carpathia docked in New York City. The survivors of Titanic got off with some still grieving families. Jack, Rose, and Cora got off right behind and walked to the statue that seemed to be the symbol of new hope. An officer came up to them. "May I take your names, Love?"

They turned around and looked at him. "Jack and Rose Dawson." Rose said. "And this is our niece Cora Cartmell."

The officer wrote down the names and walked away. Jack turned to Rose with a shocked face. "You took my name."

Rose looked at him lovingly. "I love you, Jack. And I can't use DeWitt Bukater or Cal and my mother will find me. If I'm starting a new life with you and away from first class, I have to change my last name. So what better name to use than yours?" She asked.

Jack wrapped his arms around her waist and pecked her on the lips. "I love you so much, Rose."

"I love you too, Jack Dawson."

"What about me?" Cora asked in her small child voice.

They looked at her and Rose picked her up giggling. "Yes. We love you too, Cora." Rose said kissing her cheek.

"Jack! Rose!" A woman called from behind them.

They turn around to see none other than Molly Brown walking towards them. "Molly?!" Jack and Rose said in unison with shock in their voices.

Molly reached them and smiled. "I finally found you." She exclaimed.

"Molly, please don't tell my mother I'm alive. If she finds out I'm alive, she'll force me to go back to Cal. I can't go back to that abusive, trapped, prison-like life. I would rather die than have to marry Caledon." Rose pleaded.

"Don't you worry about a thing, Darlin'. I won't say anything. Cal's an asshole that's worse than my ex husband. I won't tell a soul you're alive."

"Thank you, Molly. That means a lot to me. To us." Rose said relieved.
