My Story: R.M.S Titanic [Completed]

33: The Johnstons

Scott pulled me to a standing postition and I put my hand on his shoulder as he pulled me to him. I looked at his eyes and we were silent as we swayed with the music. I clasped my hand around his and smiled as he spun me around.

"I made some friends in the third class passengers," Scott said.

"Already?" I asked with a smile. He laughed as he used one hand to pull out his watch to check the time.

"They wanted to thank me for yelling for everyone to move. Their daughter was on the railing," he said as he put his watch away. "I told our new friends to meet us for dinner at 8:30 as well so we can go visit them." I smiled at him as he took my arm and we walked towards the stairs. We ran down to the G Deck and he made several turns until he stopped in front of a room and knocked.

"Scott!" a man said and two young childern poked their heads out.

"Andrew, how are you?" Scott asked. Andrew looked at the young girl who was holding a doll.

"Better, knowing that my Catherine is safe thanks to you," he said. A woman walked up.

"Mae, love, I want you to meet the Johnston family, Andrew, his wife, Eliza, and their children, William and Catherine," Scott said, pointing to each. I smiled and nodded. "This beautiful lady is my fiancé, Mae," he said as he put his hand on my back.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Mae," Andrew said. I smiled and looked at Catherine.

"That is a beautiful doll you have, Catherine," I said as she moved the doll's black hair. She smiled and looked at her parents.

"Mommy and Daddy got it for my birthday," she said and I smiled. The boy, William, stepped forward and touched my hand.

"You are a very beautiful, Miss Mae," William said and I smiled at him.

"Why, thank you. And you William are very handsome," I told him. He smiled and Scott rubbed my knuckles.

"Would you two like to see the ship?" Scott asked Catherine and William. They looked at their parents with hope in their eyes. Eliza looked at Andrew who looked at his children who were both bouncing on the balls of their feet.

"I don't want to bother you with our children," Andrew said. I looked at the children would looked at their feet.

"I will go with them," Eliza said, "I want to look around the ship as well." The childern bounced up and down as Eliza took Catherine's doll.

"I will look for you later then. Catherine, William you will be showin' your pop 'round later right?" Andrew asked. Catherine and William nodded and Eliza took their hands.

"Do you guys want to hear about the Titanic?" Scott asked as we walked out to the open deck.

"Yes please!" the childern yelled and Scott picked them both up. They laughed as he put them on his shoulders.

"Do you see the fourth funnel?" he asked, pointing up to the funnel that was the closest to the back. I stood behind them as the children looked at the funnel.

"What about it?" William asked as he looked at the fourth funnel.

"It isn't a real funnel. They added the fourth funnel to make it seem like it is bigger and make it easier to see the decks," Scott said. The childern stared at it in awe.

"How much coal does the Titanic use?" William asked as he looked at Scott from his shoulders. Scott laughed as Eliza and I went to either side of the Titanic.

"I believe I heard somewhere around 600 tonnes a day," Scott said. Catherine stared out to the water and held Scott's hand that was holding her in place.

"I heard from some of the men on the ship that John Jacob Astor is boardin' on the ship in Cherborg," Catherine said, "He is goin' to be the richest man on board the ship." I smiled and took her other hand.

"That is right, Catherine. He is going to be the richest man on the ship," I told her and she smiled.

"I saw the papers of him and his new wife, Madeleine," she said. I chuckled and Scott smiled at me.

"Are you two thinkin' about children? You two seem like the perfect parents," Eliza said as Scott ran off with the children on his shoulders. I laughed at him and looked at Eliza.

"I would love to have children but Scott and I have not spoken about having children yet," I told her. She giggled.

"I think that you should be brin' it up with him for he would be a good father for children," she stated. I watched as Scott put the children down and ran around with them on the deck as we walked towards them. He seemed happy and carefree. Until he tripped and fell.

"Scott!" I yelled as I ran towards him. He sat up and smiled at me. I knelt next to him and looked over him to make sure he wasn't injured.

"Now, Mae, you should know that a small fall wouldn't hurt me," he said as Catherine and William walked over to Scott and made sure that he was not injured.

"You need to be careful," I said as I smacked his arm. "You b*****d," I muttered. He smiled more as he stood up and rubbed my arms.

"Just playing with the children and I tripped. These decks must have been double polished," he said. I laughed at his humour and watched as he started chasing the children again.
