A/N: First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their wonderful feedback. I've been excited about writing this particular chapter since I started writing this chapter.

Now on to chapter 14:


Rose's P.O.V:

I stared out the window of our apartment and watched the fluffy white snow fall down from the sky and onto the ground. I closed my eyes. "It should be out by now." I thought. "The baby should have been out two days ago." I sighed nervously. "There's something wrong with our baby." I felt Jack's hand touch my shoulder.

"It's gonna be fine, Rose. You're just a little late, that's all."

I looked at him and tried to force myself to smile. Jack was probably right. He always was. "I guess you're right, Jack. I just wish that it would come soon."

Jack gave me a quick peck on the cheek. "I know you're nervous, Rose. But the baby will be here before you know it. I promise." I sighed. I wondered what would have happened to me if I was still with Cal. I shook my head. I didn't even want to think about that. "You just need to relax." Jack handed me a cup of coffee.

I smiled and took a sip. "Thank you, Jack." I froze. My hands released the coffee cup and it shatter into a million pieces. "Here it comes."

"Rose? Rose! Rose, what's wrong?" He ran up to me. "Rose what is it?" I sat there in the same position. "Rose! Please! I'm begging you! Tell me what's wrong!"

I looked him strait in the eyes and winced as I experienced the first stroke of pain. "My water just broke."

"Oh my god." He said in almost a whisper. "I'm gonna go get a doctor." He ran towards the door.

"Wait, Jack! You can't leave me, Jack! You promised you wouldn't!"

"Rose, I have to get a doctor!"

"But you promised! I didn't break my promise so you can't break yours!"

Jack walked up to me and held my hand. "I can't deliver a baby, Rose. I'll only be gone for a few minutes, I promise. Please Rose. Please understand!"

I nodded. "I understand." Jack ran back to the door. "Jack wait!" He looked back at me. "Please hurry." He nodded and ran out the door. I sat myself on the couch and just waited. That's when I felt my next contraction. I screamed in agony. How could something so helpless be causing me that much pain? For a minute, I just wanted to die right there. For just a quick moment, I had no strength. I wanted to die, so the pain would be over. But then I remembered Jack. I had to do this. For Jack. But where in the world was he? It felt like he had been gone for hours. Then, all of a sudden, all I could think of was him. "Jack Jack Jack Jack Jack Jack Jack." There was an extremely vivid picture of him in my mind and I couldn't get it out. I needed Jack to be there with me. "Jack!" I called "Oh dear god, Jack, hurry!" I screamed out even louder. I felt an even more painful contraction. "JACK!" The door swung open. Jack ran through the doorway with a doctor.

"I'm here, Rose! Don't worry!" He ran up to me.

"Jack! It hurts so bad!" I squeezed his hand.

He squeezed back. "I know Rose, I know." I could feel myself sweating. I screamed in pain as my contractions had become closer. I squeezed Jack's hand even harder. I looked at Jack. He looked as if he felt guilty. As if all of this was his fault. I wanted to tell him that this wasn't his fault. That he didn't do anything wrong. But all that came out were more screams. My contractions grew even closer.

The doctor looked at me. "Okay, Rose I'm going to need you to push now, okay?" I looked at Jack.

"Push, Rose!"

"But it hurts."

Jack squeezed my hand. "I know it hurts, Rose. But you need to push to get the baby out." I nodded as I pushed.

"She's crowning!"

"Come on, Rose! Push!"

"There's the head!"

"You're almost there, Rose. "You're doing great. Just keep pushing, Rose."

Finally, after what seemed like forever, I pushed our baby out. And little Lea Michelle Dawson was born on December eighteenth, nineteen twelve. The doctor handed her to Jack in a pink blanket. She had Jack's blond hair and blue eyes, which I was thankful for, but her hair was curly like mine and she had my skin tone. She was perfect, and defiantly worth the labor.

Jack stared down at our daughter. I could almost swear I could see tears coming from his eyes. "Jack." Was all I could choke out. I couldn't believe I was a mother. That I had a baby of my very own.

Jack looked at me and smiled. "Rose. She's so… beautiful."

I reached out and touched his hand. "She's all you, Jack. She looks just like you."

He shook his head. "No. If she looked like me then…she wouldn't be this… perfect." He smiled as Lea grabbed his nose. "I…I just can't believe that this is real. That she's really here. And she's my little girl." All I could do was smile at him. "We're parents, Rose."

"I know." I beamed. "I can't believe it, either. Look at your daughter, Jack."Jack looked down at her and kissed her forehead. "You saved her, Jack. You saved the both of us."

"Only you could do that, Rose. And I promise I'm not gonna let anyone hurt you or Lea. You two are my life now.

I didn't know how, but somehow, Jack always did that to me. He always left me speechless. "I love you, Jack."

Jack leaned down and kissed my forehead. "And I love you. Both of you."

I smiled. I felt myself starting to fall asleep. But I stayed awake just long enough to watch our daughter shut her eyes and fall asleep for the first time.
