"What do you mean you have to go?" Britannic sniffled.

"It's just from here to wherever I'm told to go. It shouldn't be too long, Brit." Olympic soothed. Titanic huffed, walking to her room. Olympic watched, she noticed how Titanic hadn't been herself lately.

"Titanic?" Olympic asked, finding her sister.

"What?" Titanic asked. Olympic sat beside her.

"Honey, what's wrong?" She asked. In response, she heard a sniffle from Titanic, who had begun to cry. "Come here, darling." Olympic soothed, rocking her little sister.

"I'm scared... that you won't come home... with the upcoming war, shipping lines are wary. Lusitania just had a close call with a torpedo six months ago... what if your ship gets sunk, and- and you don't come home?" Titanic explained, sobbing. Olympic knew she had a point, and shipping right now was a danger, but it had to be done.

"Honey, I promise I'll come home. Here." Olympic stated. She took off a bracelet she had, and gave it to her sister. "In case you need comfort, wear the bracelet. Hopefully, it will remind you of me. I gave Brit a pair of my earrings earlier." Olympic soothed.

The next morning came, and Titanic and Britannic were dreading it. At the docks, Olympic knelt by her sisters, giving them a loving hug, both her sisters fighting their tears. As Olympic ordered her ship to be ready to sail, her crew readily obeyed her.

Soon, her majestic liner began moving forward, and she spotted her sisters, standing by Lusitania and Mauretania. Her heart sank, she knew the perils of this, but she didn't have a choice. No jobs were available, and she needed the money for the rent, food, and other essentials.

As the day continued on, Britannic kept herself locked away. Not even Titanic could reach out to her, which, in all honesty, was shocking.

"Maybe she's just worried, T. I mean, given what's going on... it's a really high possibility." Lusitania offered.

"I think the same, but Olympic told us not to worry too much, and try to, as she jokingly put it, 'enjoy our break from her'." Titanic explained.

"Britannic, would you like some soup, dear?" Mauretania asked.

"No thank you, Mary." Britannic responded, her voice having sounded like she had been crying.

As the days dragged on, it felt like an eternity. Titanic let go of some of her worry, trying to take Olympic's advice, to enjoy herself, but she still worried and missed her sister dearly. Britannic, however, wasn't so happy. The only time she came out of the room was to use the bathroom, help Mauretania with shopping for essentials, checking Titanic's ship's supplies, and to eat, maybe once a day. Two if they were lucky. She had more than a sisterly relationship with Olympic. Olympic had raised her since her birth, and viewed her as a mother too.

"Britannic, darling, take a walk with us?" Mauretania asked.

"Let me wash up first." Britannic responded. It was now two weeks gone by, and not one single telegram from Olympic, but they expected that. As Britannic joined the other girls, they made their way to the docks.

Other vessels had come and gone, but no sign of Olympic. Most of the people had left, and Titanic and Britannic started to fret, when a loud, very familiar ship whistle was heard.

Steaming ahead into the docks was Olympic's ship. As the ship docked, and everyone walked off, Titanic spotted her sister, and hugged her tightly. Britannic looked around, but she couldn't spot either of her sisters. So, again, she started to fret until a familiar tuft of black hair caught her attention.

"Better prepare yourself." Titanic joked. Olympic chuckled, and when she saw Britannic, she held her littlest sister in her arms, carrying her down. Britannic was clinging to her, crying happy tears, all the while, Olympic lovingly held her in her arms, carrying her home.

Britannic was all but asleep when they got to their own home, and happily laid in Olympic's bed.

"Poor lass was so worried, Olympic. Mainly kept herself locked in her room. She was behaved, and polite, but she was so worried. Cried everyday worried and missing you." Mauretania explained.

"I missed them too. I wanted to send a telegram, but with the already high-risk of getting spotted, I knew I couldn't. I understand where their fears and worries came from, I do, but I do also need the business and income. I tried looking for other jobs, other than my ship, but no one was hiring, and I'm not a very social person." Olympic explained.

"How much did you make this time?" Mauretania asked.

"About 700,000 dollars/pounds. But with high prices, I have no idea how long this will last me. I know I can pay the rent months ahead of time, so that's one less thing I have to worry about. What I don't spend for essentials for here and the ship, will go to Titanic and Brit, as it always does. I have two things set up, and whatever money I have leftover, I split evenly, so that way, they have their own money for whatever. Brit eventually wants to get her ship, but doesn't have any money. She makes.. average money for her dresses she makes, but no dress shop will hire her." Olympic explained.

Within twenty minutes, Britannic came out, rubbing her eyes sleepily. She just curled up against Olympic, who in return, held her baby sister. "Hey, honey. Sleep well?" Olympic asked.

"Sort of. I checked on Titanic, her and Lucy are snuggled together, sound asleep. I didn't want to bother them, so I came out here." Britannic responded.

Olympic gave Britannic a cup of warm tea with a tiny bit of lemon juice, just the way Brit liked it. "Olympic, I have a question." She stated.

"Hmm? What's up?" Olympic asked.

"I know you raised me and Titanic together, and I know you gave up a lot for us. But, I really wanna ask... Would you adopt me? I mean, Mom and Dad aren't here, Titanic is my sister, and she helped you, but... you're the only mother-like person I know. I would say Mary, but she's more of a sister." Britannic asked.

"Oh, Brit... Of course I'll adopt you. If it's what you truly want me to do." Olympic stated.

Within a week, Olympic kept her word, and she legally adopted her sisters, who were both overjoyed. That night, they sat on the deck of Olympic's ship, watching the waves in the distance.
