JACK AND ROSE: TOGETHER FOREVER
Chapter Two
"Rose, Rose, get up we have to be at the
church in about 3 hr. Get up!" Brittany Miller shouted to her friend the
next morning. Rose sprang out of bed almost jumped right on Brittany who was
standing bye Rose's bed. Brittany quickly jumped out of the way, and watched
Rose run out of the room into the kitchen. Brittany followed he out the door.
When she got to the kitchen, she saw Rose already wolfing down a bunch of hot
pancakes she had made for her that morning.
"Rose, slow down, this is breakfast, not
a race." Brittany cautioned her friend. Rose looked up not realizing she
was in the room.
"Yes mother." Rose answered
Brittany sarcastically, but she slowed down realizing that it was true. "I
am just so excited! I can't believe Jack and I will finally be married."
Rose told Brittany. "I am so glad you and Dianna are going to be my
bridesmaids."
"Oh, I am very happy you actually picked
me. I mean we have only know each other for a few weeks and you pick me to be a
bridesmaid. Rose I am flattered." Rose blushed as she got up and put her
dishes in the sink.
"Britt, why wouldn't I. You are like the
only girlfriend I have ever had. You and Bryan's wife Dianna. But I am still
very happy. Now, its 9:20 and we have a 20-minute walk ahead of us carrying a
very fragile dress, I say we start out now if we are going to make it to the
church by 10:00. Because once we get there we are going to still have to fix my
hair, and get my dress and makeup on." Rose told Brittany. Brittany nodded
and went to get Rose's dress and hair things, and also some clothes to wear
when Rose and Jack when out to dinner. When she got back she saw Rose standing
there fully dressed, read to go. She walked over to Brittany and took some of
the stuff and than the two of them left for the church.
Bring! Jack sat up suddenly as the alarm
clock went off. He looked at the clock, it was about 8:00. He needed to get to
the church by 10:30 to make sure that everything was in order. He sprang out
bed and ran to take a shower. When he was done, he went and ate breakfast. When
Jack was finally finished doing all of this, he did two last things. First he
ran and got he tux, and last he ran and got Roses' present out of its hiding
place in his dresser. Taking one last look around the bedroom, he left to go
start his new life with Rose.
Rose and Brittany got to the Church about
10:15, a little behind schedule, but close. They were shown to there room, and
also found Dianna waiting there for them. Dianna greeted them with a big hello
and there were hugs all around.
"Well Rose, today is the bug day! Are
you ready?" Dianna asked her after things had clamed down in the room.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Rose said
confidently, even though she was a little nervous.
"Well, Rose, I think we better get you
ready so we can have you walking down that isle on time." Brittany said as
she and Dianna started to get Rose's dress out of the case. Rose loved the
dress. It was a simple white dress; much like the one she wore the night
Titanic had sank. She also had a bouquet of wine red roses to carry. Rose took
the dress in her hands and put it on. Dianna and Brittany helped her zip the
dress up, and than Dianna took the vale out of its box and set it on Rose's
head. Next they put Rose's makeup on. Finally after a hour of fussing with her
dress, hair, and makeup, Rose was ready to go met Jack at the altar.
Jack quickly made his way up the church
stairs. He was really excited to finally be married to Rose. As he made his way
to his dressing room, he thought of the past month. First there was winning the
ticket to get on Titanic, meeting Rose, and than winning over her heart. Than
there was the iceberg, him getting arrested, Rose rescuing him, the ships final
minutes, the promise, and him just barely alive to here Rose call him when a
boat finally did come. And than the week after the ship had sank, he proposed
to Rose. They had been living in an apartment in upper New York, but tomorrow
they were going to California. To Santa Monica to be exact. Jack and Rose were
going to live there. As he opened the door to the dressing room, he saw Bryan
sitting on the bench, and his tux hanging up in the corner. "Well, well,
well Jack, you finally decided to show up did you." Bryan asked him as
soon as he was in the room. Jack rolled his eyes. Bryan know how he had been
worried about Rose, or himself, getting cold feet over the past few days. And
he was constantly teasing him about it. But this is why Jack thought Bryan was
such a good friend. He was always joking, and fooling around. The Foster's
lived in the apartment bellow Jack and Rose, so they had just happened to met
one day. They two couples had become friends instantly and were always together.
Rose and Dianna were inseparable, and than Dianna had introduced Rose to her
friend Brittany Miller and the three women had instantly become really close
friends. Wherever Dianna and Brittany went, Rose went to. Jack thought that
this was great that Rose finally got some close friends. Girl friends that is.
"OK Bryan, let's get this wedding under
way." Jack told him. Bryan took Jack's tux down from its hanging place on
the wall. The two men joked about wedding nights while they got Jack dressed.
When they were done Jack looked at the clock; it was 11:15. He had 15 minutes
until Rose would come down the isle. "Well Bryan, wish me luck." Jack
told his friend.
Bryan sighed, "Jack I wish you the very
best of luck my friend." And Jack and Bryan left for the chapel.
"OK, Rose, you have ten minutes until
you became a married woman, any last confessions?" Brittany asked Rose.
Rose looked at her two friends and all three of them started giggling. Suddenly
Rose got really serious and teasingly told her friends in a whisper "Don't
tell Jack about Megan" At that remark they all started laughing again.
When they finally calmed down they looked at the clock; they had five minutes
to get to the chapel. Rose checked her hair one last time, grabbed her bouquet,
and left with her friends to the chapel.
Jack came from the side-entrance to the
altar. He saw the priest standing and talking to Bryan. He looked around the
chapel. The only people there were going to be Jack, Rose, Dianna, Bryan, and
Brittany. And of course the priest and the organ player. Suddenly Brittany
stuck her head in and announced that Rose was ready. The priest nodded and
signaled for the organ lady to begin playing. And than the doors opened…
Rose watched as Brittany and Dianna started
down the isle. 'They looked so calm' she thought 'of course there not the ones
getting married.' After what seamed like forever, they were at the altar. 'This
is it' Rose thought. She took a deep breath and started down the isle. She kept
her head down because she was so nervous. But as soon as she lifted her head
and saw Jack standing there looking very happy and excited at the same time,
the nervousness washed away. She smiled at him the whole way to the altar. When
she finally got to him, he took one of his arms and put it around her waist,
than he took the other arm and put it on Rose's shoulder. At that Rose put her
hand on Jacks hand on her shoulder, and the ceremony began.
"Do you, Rose, take this man to be your
husband, for better, for worse, till death do you part?" The priest asked
Rose about 5 minutes later.
"I do" Rose said softly.
"And do you, Jack, take Rose to be your
wife, for richer, for poorer and in sickness and in health, till death do you
part?"
"I always have, and I always will. I
do." Jack told the priest.
The priest nodded and said, "I now
pronounce you husband and wife, you my kiss the bride." Jack and Rose
looked at each other and leaned in for the kiss. It was one of those long,
passionate, French kisses that leaves you breathless afterwards. When they
parted, Jack and Rose found Bryan, Dianna, and Brittany staring at them with
smiles on their faces. Jack and Rose turned to each other and smiled their new
life had begun!
