EPILOGUE

2 month later

After much discussion, Jack and Rose had decided to head for Santa Monica, where Jack will show them the pier and they could do all they had talked about aboard Titanic. It was a hard decision to make, but a necessary one. They couldn’t live off Molly forever.

Molly stood at the entrance of the train, holding Robbie tightly, watching the newlyweds’ load up their belongings on to the train. She hated seeing Jack and Rose go. They had filled her house with love, joy, and laughter. Now that they were leaving, the house will return to it’s dull and lifeless status.

"Well that’s everything, I do believe," Rose sighed as her and Jack returned, ready to take their son and depart for California.

"We’re going to miss you Molly," Jack wiped a tear from his eye. He hadn’t expected to be this emotional about leaving, but then again, he should have. Molly had been like a mother to him in the past two months. Giving him advice and being there to talk whenever he and Rose had a rare disagreement.

"You call me anytime Jack," Molly hugged the young man after handing Robbie to Rose. "Even if it’s just to talk."

"Thank you Molly," Jack smiled sadly, pulling away from the hug.

"Take care Jack," She waved as he took Robbie from Rose and disappeared into the train, so Rose could have her good-bye with Molly.

"That boy loves you," Molly smiled. "You take care of them."

Rose laughed. "I will. Thank you Molly. I don’t know how I’m ever going to repay you for all you’ve done for me…for us."

Molly grinned. "Just name your firstborn daughter after me and I’ll be happy."

Rose laughed again and hugged the older woman tightly. "I love you Molly. Thank you so much."

"Good-bye Rosie," Molly sniffed as Rose let her go and returned to the train. Waving one last time, she went inside.

Five minutes later, the train pulled out of the station, taking the Dawson family into a bright and happy future.
