Merrill spends time with Marisol and Emily
"I get the luxury of being with one daughter while the other one is on the ship" Merrill says as he was playing wit Marisol cause she was big enough where they could play more and he loved playing with her a lot cause she was more fun and she enjoyed having daddy around as well
"Yes and I get to cook for you while you rest and we can be together a little more and I get to bond with Marisol more as well which is going to be great once she gets to know me as well cause she only knows you so once she knows me more she will be okay with he both of us" Emily says as she was cooking from the kitchen right now and she was making lunch for everyone cause Marshall and Milo stayed as well to help Merrill with his recovery too cause they hated to have him have a relapse once again
"Yeah and soon she will call you mama cause she already calls me da da fifty times a day and I never tire of it" Merrill says as he was still playing with Marisol right now
"I love how long her hair is and her eyes" Emily says as she looks at the tiny child who came in the kitchen to see what smelled so good
"Marisol I like to introduce you to your new ma ma" Merrill says as he holds Marisol right now cause he wanted to see if Marisol would say ma ma maybe if he was lucky
Marisol was quite as a mouse right now and she didn't say a word either
"Once she is around you more she will say it" Merrill says as Marisol was reaching out for Milo
"Yeah and in time we will be a family just the four of us" Emily says as she thinks ahead a little bit
"Yes we will the perfect family" he says as he kisses her right now
Merrill went out to get a ring cause he was going to ask Emily to marry him once they were back on the ship cause he wanted to do it with his other family cause he wanted to include Vicki in this cause Vicki was his first daughter after all
"It will be even better once we are back on the sip with the others as well" he says as he looks at her cause he could not wait to be back on the ship as well with Vicki
"Yes it will and I am going to be with you, Vicki and of course little Marisol over here" Emily says cause she loved having two daughters an older daughter and a younger daughter
Merrill was released back to his apartment that evening and he was told to rest before going back on the princess as well and he was going to do just that
"I can't believe I almost have a one year old" he says as he was watching Marisol toddle to her toys to play cause she was happy to be with her other set of toys as well
"We can celebrate with just the three of us before going back on board I will take care of everything" Emily says as she leaves again
Merrill was okay with that cause a small celebration was just what he needed with Marisol and of course Emily
"Hi sweetheart" he says as he was going to sit with her right now as she was playing with her toys right now cause she had some regular toys and some learning toys that she played with and she loved all of them cause she was one spoiled little girl in Merrill's eyes cause he missed out on this with Vicki and he was glad he got to do it with Marisol
Marisol climbed into his lap right now and cuddled close to her father right now cause she missed him
"Come on let's play with one of your toys or I can read you a book" he says as he was going to take her to her room and read to her or play with her
Marisol loved when daddy read to her cause it was helping her with her motor skills as well cause she loved turning the pages in her books, and closing her book as well
"Here we go big girl" he says as he puts her in his lap to read to her
Marisol got comfy on daddy as he was going to read to her and maybe shoe will fall asleep in his arms cause she barely slept with her binky anymore only her comfort object and that was her bear or dragon or whatever she wanted to sleep with that day or night
"This is a oldie but it's a good book" he says as he was going to read her the three bears without goldilocks
Marisol loved the voices that her daddy did for the story and Merrill read her another book of course cause she was not sleepy yet but she was getting sleepy
"How about some nursery rhymes" he says as he got her nursery rhymes book out to read to her
Marisol was on board with some nursery rhymes that day cause she loved nursery rhymes especially how daddy does them cause he does them really funny as he reads to her
"That's my girl" he says as he was starting the book
(Much later)
Emily comes home to see Merrill and Marisol both sleeping in Marisol's room Merrill was in the chair holding Marisol and they were both sleeping
"Night you two" Emily says as she took the book from Merrill and was going to cover both Merrill and Marisol up so they wouldn't get cold cause she was not going to move Marisol at all cause she had her little arms wrapped around her daddy and her tiny head was on his chest right now
Emily turned on the record player that was in Marisol's room and Merrill used it for Marisol to help her sleep cause she would not sleep without music at all
