Moving back on board part 1

Merrill was going to start to move everything back on board the ship before they dined that night and Gopher was going to move back on board as well cause he had to get his new family settled and Merrill was going to do the same cause he wanted to see where his brothers were going to be at, and see about the nursery for Marisol cause he was going to move her into her own room before the next cruise cause she was getting bigger, and he wanted her to sleep in her own room

"Here she is home sweet home" Merrill says as he was bringing the bags on board that had the girl's clothes in it as well as Marisol's baby toys as well as well as her stuffed animals that she can't live without

"Yes, it is, and we get to get settled before we get back underway once again" Gopher says as him and the Merrill boarded cause Emily was going to bring her things down as well and Merrill was going to help her get settled in the cabin as well

"I love the work that they did to the ship while we were away" Merrill says as he looks at the ship as they boarded with what they were bringing on board first

"Me too can't wait to see ethe dining room tonight" Gopher says as he heads to where the Smith's were going to be

"Me either" Merrill says as Vicki was bringing her things on cause he dad had her clothes and she had everything else and Marshall and Milo were going to be coming down to get their cabins set-up as well

Merrill was able to drop Vicki's clothes off before heading to his cabin cause he had to sort Marisol's clothes and hang up his dress uniforms as well and make room for Emily's clothes as well cause she was going to be moving in that cruise and he wanted everything to be perfect

(Later)

"Now to set-up Marisol's room" he says as he heads into the nursery to set up Marisol's nursery

Merrill put up the drapes to make the room feel like home and he put her toys where they are in her room at his house as well cause she will not like being back on the boat so that night it will be only him and Marisol sleeping on the ship unless Gopher is going to do the same with Gretel cause she is going to be scared as well cause this is a new place right now and it is different from where she was

"There that is perfect now for some pictures to make it feel like home" he says as he puts up some family pictures before going back to his cabin and his office to finish setting up house keeping

(Gopher's cabin)

"Since our room and the new baby's room is ready I think I am going to do Gretel's room and get that all set up for her cause tonight we are sleeping on the ship so she can get used to sleeping on the ship again cause she is used to sleeping in her to sleeping in her own room at the main house" Gopher says as he was going to do Gretel's room cause she was going to be switched to a big girl bed that cruise and he was going to sleep with her until she got used to sleeping by herself in her own room

Gopher puts her bedding on her bed cause Julie was setting up the living quarters right now like with their pictures and books that they read before bedtime and everything else cause Gretel had a playroom right off the main living quarters

"There it looks perfect and ready for her" he says as he was going to go and get her and bring her on board

(Later)

"Okay Julie I am going to carry you over the threshold" Gopher says as he was going to carry her over the doorway where everyone boards

Julie was excited for this part cause he could not do it once she was released from the hospital cause both of them were still recovering from being sick at the time and since they both have recovered from being sick

"Here we go Julie" Gopher says as he brought her over the threshold

"Gopher you are so romantic" she says as they kissed

"Well I'm a hopeless romantic just wait to see what else I got up my sleeve this cruise" he says as the Captain and his girls followed behind

"Emily even though we aren't married I'm going to carry you over the threshold as well" Merrill says cause Marshall was going to do the same with his bride as well cause everyone was moving back on board that day

Emily loved that she was going to feel special as well

"Well both ladies are on board, so I guess we get settled in before dinner tonight" Gopher says to Merrill

"Yes, we have to get Gretel and Marisol settled in as well" Merrill says cause he had to get Marisol from the dock and Vicki as well

"Of, course, and we have a first birthday to plan as well" Gopher says to Merrill

"Don't tell me Gretel has a birthday to celebrate on this voyage?" Merrill asks him

"Yes she turns the big one and I want to plan it with you of course" Gopher says cause Vicki was handling the baby shower and Gopher was in charge of Gretel's first birthday

"This is exciting" Merrill says as Marisol was happy to see her daddy again

"Yes my little girl turns one and she is the best thing to happen to me and Julie it has made us stronger through is and I love her to pieces and I have to get with you to see what staircases can have a gate up cause she is starting to walk" Gopher tells him

"Have that already done I had the ship baby proofed while we were out" Merrill tells him
