Two days have gone by, the Carpathia slowly but surly brought the surviving passengers to New York
Not that it changed anything, people died. Loved ones died. Children died.

The rain was pouring down as the ship arrived in America. People were walking around the ship with umbrellas to shield themselves from the rain, Annabelle wasn't.

She let the rain fall on her body, soaking her skin and clothing. Her brown hair stuck to her face as she looked up in awe as she passed by the Statue of Liberty. She finally made it to America, not that she would stay here. She knew if the Titanic stayed afloat, she would just go back.

She snapped out of her thoughts and turned her head slightly to see Harry standing behind her, holding a black umbrella to stop the rain from falling on her.

"Come inside, you'll catch a cold love" he softly said but she shook her head.

"I wanna stay out here.. we finally made it to America Harry" she announced softly smiling and he smiled down at her.

"We did" he replied but her smile turned into a frown.

"I've never been to America, my father never took me and now that ive made it.. it doesn't feel right to be here without him" she whispered and he sighed.

"I know darling" he replied placing one hand on her side and rubbing her side up and down.

Once the Carpathia docked in America, hundreds of thousands of people awaited, to see if their loved ones survived or perished.

Once the remaining officers return to the Titanic hometown; Belfast. An inquiry was scheduled for the following days to see if they could piece together the fatal moments. The crew were placed in a hotel, Annabelle was asked if she would like to stay in a penthouse(just because of who her father was) but she politely declined, she wanted to stay with Harry. Cynthia decided to stay with family she has here and knows she has to report to the inquiry.

"What questions will they ask me?" Annabelle asked behind the bathroom door as they both changed into a new set of clothes.

"They'll probably ask you if you know anything about the ship, they might ask you about our relationship.. and you do know they will ask questions about your father." Harry replied. She sighed softly as she finished getting dressed in a simply pink nightgown. She rested her forehead on the door.

"That will be brutal" she muttered to herself picking her head up looking into the mirror. She ran her fingers over her face and tangled them into her hair.

She tried to change the subject in her head and take her mind off the inquiry. She tried to think of anything else and one thing did come to mind.. she felt dirty because of the thought but, her mind came to Harry. Now him is not what's dirty, she loved Harry and her thoughts are telling her to express her love for him, in a dirty way.

"H-Harry, can you come in here?" She asked her thoughts getting the best of her. She heard shuffling around from outside the bathroom before the door slowly opened and he peaked in.

"Yes darling?" He asked, he looked at her appearance. She was standing in front of the sink, her hands placed on the countertop as she looked at Harry. He tilted his head in confusion as he walked in further into the room, he walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"What's going on love?" He whispered into her ear as he watched her in the mirror. Shivers went down her spine.

"Harry... I love you" she started saying.

"I love you too" he replied.

"I'm not done.. I love you so much and I...I want to perhaps sleep with you" she said whispering the last part, her cheeks tinting pink.

"You are.. that's why you're with me" he said not getting her hint. She mentally rolled her eyes.

"Not like that" she responded. It was quiet for a moment as he thought about what she said.

Before she could open her mouth and say anything else, he turned her around so her face was facing him, she let out a shaky breath looking into his brown eyes. His face was inches away from hers.

"Do you mean that?" He asked as his hands rubbed her waist.

"I love you Harry and I want to show it to you" she replied back, he smirked lightly as he placed his lips on hers, she wrapped her arms around his neck as the kiss started to turn heated. He lightly moaned into the kiss as he picked her up causing her to pull back from the kiss and squeal. He chuckled lightly walking into the hotel bedroom and laid her on the bed.

He hovered over her and looked into her eyes. She smiled lightly as her hand made its way up to his hair and she ran her fingers through his hair causing him to close his eyes and sigh.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked softly opening his eyes.

"Yes" she whispered and he didn't waste time, he bent his head down and pressed his lips onto hers while his hands roamed his body. Her hand stayed in his hair, her fingers tangling up with his brown hair.

She loved him as much as he loved her. When Cynthia and Thomas said that these two are perfect for each other, it wasn't a lie
~~~~~~~~~
The two looked at each other breathlessly, the shirtless Harold was laying onto of Annabelle, his hair sticking to his face as sweat rolled down his face as the same with the girl, her hand rubbed Harry shoulder as she tried to slow down her breathing.

"I love you" he whispered pressing his lips onto hers again.

"I love you too" she whispered once he pulled away from the kiss

"The inquiry is coming up" Harry started off and he saw the annoyed look Annabelle gave causing him to sigh softly.

"I know you don't wanna talk about it but, we need to be prepared. They will ask you questions that might break you" Harry responded.

"I know.. I'll be ready" she responded and he didn't wanna continue to fight with her.

"Let's go to sleep then. We'll go back to Belfast tomorrow" she added as she nudged him to get off which he complied. She turned to her side so she was facing him and pulled the blanket further up their bodies. She scooted herself closer to him so she was in chest.

"Goodnight" she whispered and he responded by wrapping his arms around her, his fingers drawing imaginary shapes on her bare back.

"Goodnight" he responded.
