Today was the last day Jack and Rose would be staying in Paris. For tomorrow, they would be heading home. It was mid-afternoon, and Rose didn't feel very well, but ignored her symptoms.
"Jack, have you seen my white gloves?" Rose stopped for a moment and placed her hand on her stomach.
"No, I haven't." Jack entered where Rose was and saw her pose. "Rose, are you feeling all right?"
"Jack, I think I'm going to have our baby."
"Now?"
"Now." Rose nodded.
"I'll call downstairs. Here, lay down on the bed." Rose did what Jack told her to do, and he called the front desk.
"Yes, I need a doctor...room C-7...all right...okay...thanks." Jack hung up the phone and walked into the bedroom. "Here, Rose. Let's get you into your nightgown. The doctor should be here shortly."
"Jack," Rose said. "We're going to have a baby in Paris."
Jack kissed Rose's forehead and swept the hair out of her face. There was a knock on the door, and Jack got up to go get it. It was the doctor.
"Hello."
"Oh, you are American, no?"
"Yes, I am American, and so is my wife."
"I must tell you, sir, I only know small English."
"That's all right. If you can deliver a baby you'll be fine."
The doctor smiled, and he was pointed in the direction of Rose's bedroom. "Bonjour, Madame. I will be delivering zour baby." Rose nodded her head. "What is zour wife's name?"
"Rose."
"Rose, zuch a beautiful name."
"All right now, Rose. On the count of three, we push. One...two...three."
Rose started to push, and a crying of a baby was heard.
"It is a girl."
Rose smiled as Jack handed Rose their newborn baby, Audrey Claire Dawson. "Oh, she's so beautiful."
"Congratulations," the doctor said.
"Thank you, doctor."
Jack shook the doctor's hand and they both smiled. Jack showed the doctor out, and went back over to Rose, who was nursing her little girl. Jack placed his forehead against Rose's, and they closed their eyes.
"I love you so much that when I look at you I can hardly breathe, because I can't believe that we are together," Jack said, with his eyes still closed and his forehead against Rose's.
"I know how you feel," Rose whispered.
