Jack probably smiled at the sight of the ladybug, because he knows what it symbolizes, and thus finds comfort in knowing that eventually (though, under different circumstances) he'll be with Ashi again.

Not to mention that there is an extremely high possibility that Ashi still exists in the future. If you go by the time theory that you can only create ripples in the continuity, but the timeline eventually re-adjusts itself, then everyone in the future still exists, only in a different way, including Ashi. (Think of it like the Flashpoint Paradox.) (Or X-Men: Days of Future Past)

Or she could just be a living paradox like Reverse Flash.
