Making It Count (Titanic Rose Fanfiction) part 2

Chapter 12

*the next night*

Roses pov

I laid next to Josephine in bed trying to get her to sleep. I stoked her long curly locks. Till we heard a knock at the door.

"John!", I immediately shut the door behind me trying not to show or wake Josephine up. I then looked down to his hands,"oh a present", I scratched my head.

"Ah yeah. For Josephine", he gave me it. I then looked at him scared. How does he know about her? How did he find out? "How come you never told me about her? Your daughter?"

"Oh John. It's quite simple really. No man would want to date a women who has a child. Especially with no man. I thought you would stop seeing me. And I understand if you don't want to now"

"No! I do want to Rose! Listen. I really like you. A lot actually. And I can understand why you hid that. But if this relationship is gonna work I want you to tell me the truth. That way we're better both off", he said openly and honestly.

"You.. you want to stay with me?", I asked shocked that he didn't care about Josephine.

"I want to see where this goes", he then leans in and our lips then met in our first kiss. It was amazing.

"Wow! I haven't been kissed like that in a long time. Not even by my co stars", I joked as he laughed.

"Yeah me either", he smiled at me, "I really like you Rose. I'll be happy to meet her. Just give her my present from me. I hope she likes it. She should do", he nodded getting lost in my eyes, "well I better be leaving. You need a good nights sleep I suppose. And I should see you in the morning", he walked away with his hands in his pockets. I then stood at the door holding his present.

"Who was that mummy?", Josie sat up when I walked in.

"Nobody sweetie. But I do have..", I jumped on the bed with the box behind my back before pulling it out revealing what it was.

"A present!", she rejoiced grabbing it and ripping it open, "oooooooooooooo", she held up the necklace that has her initials on it 'JD'.

"Oh my", I stared at it while the light bounced off it. He really must like me.

"Can you put it on for me mummy please", she broke my trance from taking it down from the light.

"Sure honey", I picked up her luscious curls and put it.

"Hehe. It's pretty mummy", she looked down on it. It is a bit big but she'll grow into it.

"You like it?"

"I LOVE IT!", she hugged and brought me down to the bed, "you know what I realised mummy?", she asked laying next to me.

"What honey", I stroked hair once again but looking into her blue eyes like her fathers.

"I have the same initials as daddy. See J.D", she pointed to, "Jack Dawson, Josephine Dawson", she told me.

"That's right", I told while she looked at the necklace, "you know you can open it. It's a locket", I opened it for her.

"Oooooooo", she was blown away by it.

"You can put pictures in it. Perhaps me, your father or papa George",

"Yeah!", she closed it happily, "but we'll do it tomorrow"

"Yes we will", I kissed her.

"I love you mummy", she stroked my face.

"I love you, Josephine Jacklyn Dawson", I said her full name that made her giggle.

"I love you Rose..", I began to giggle.

"You don't know my middle name do you?", she shook her head laughing, "well if you must know it's Elizabeth"

"Rose Elizabeth Dawson", she put it all together.

"Yes that's right",

"What about daddy?", she asked.

"Well I don't know. You're gonna have to ask Great Papa George for that.  Cause I don't know"

"Ok", she happily agreed.

"Ok. Now get some sleep", I kissed her again. We then both fell asleep.
