Emily has the baby part 1

Merrill was in his nice Captain's uniform cause everything was still going to go on as normal for now cause the launch could not make it to the ship until it was daylight, and Emily didn't feel safe delivering at one of the hospitals either so she was going to be having the baby on the boat right now cause she felt safe there

"Merrill I am boosting the baby's lungs for delivery, and right now Emily is at a three so the baby is going to be born in the next couple of hours or so right now" Adam says as he was giving Merrill an update on Emily and the baby

"Emily wants to have the baby here on board cause she feels safer here right now until we get back to LA and then we can go from there" Merrill says as he was thinking of what he should do in case Emily dilates more during dinner and the baby wants to come during the night or the morning

"That I am okay with cause I managed to get an incubator on board before we sailed again and it will do, and the hospital is letting me keep in case there are any more preterm deliveries on board" Adam says as he was going to take Merrill to the incubator that he had on board, and he had it in the infirmary where there was access to oxygen, and he could monitor the vitals as well of the baby

Merrill was glad the baby could be on board if the baby does in fact want to be born on the ship

"Now to go to dinner I'll be there once I check Emily and I will give you an update there" Adam tells Merrill as well

Merrill goes to dinner, and he plays it cool

"Dad how is Emily?" Vicki asks him

"Right now she is fine and the baby is fine and by the looks of it you are going to meet your baby brother or sister in the morning or sometime tomorrow afternoon" Merrill says cause he was on stand-by in case Emily deliver's

Vicki was excited that she was going to meet her sibling before too long

"Merrill Emily is at a five right now, so her labor is going slowly and I gave her something for the pain" Adam says as he sat down to dinner

Merrill was scared now for both Emily and the baby

"Merrill she is fine she is handling labor fine and the baby's heartbeat is just fine too, so once I get done with dinner I will check Emily and see where she is and if she is still at a five I will tell you and then you can be with her cause I am going to be up all night checking her labor and seeing where she is and giver her another dose of steroids for the baby's lungs so the baby can cry as soon as it's born" Adam tells him as he tried to keep things moving

Merrill ate and was thinking about the labor plan he wanted to do with Emily as soon as he was done with dinner as well

(Later)

"Emily you are still at a five Merrill is putting everything on the back burner tonight and is going to be with you and help you" Adam says as he checked Emily

"That's good and how is the baby?" Emily asks him

"So far the baby is handling labor, and the heartbeat looks good too" Adam says as he was checking the heartbeat right now

Emily was glad that the baby was okay and doing good and she could not wait to be a mom again

"Emily do you want to walk around for a little bit or play a game?" Merrill asks as he came in with her bag and some things she wanted as well

"Let's play a game and then go for a walk so I can sleep right now I am still at a five and the baby is doing good" she says as she was going to get comfortable

"Okay what do you want to play?" he asks her

"Let's play cards then play something else" she says as she was thinking on what she wanted to play as Merrill was fixing her pillows for her, so she was more comfortable as well right now

"Okay then a little night stroll on deck will help you sleep" Merrill says as he was going to get the cards out of her bag

(Later)

"Emily you are at a six right now, so it won't be too much longer I will check you again in two hours" Adam says as he left

"I hope my labor continues to go this slow so I can sleep, and we can bond" she says as they were still playing cards since Adam suggested that they stay in for the night since Emily was in active labor right now

"Me too I am going to be here every step of the way and Vicki and Trig are doing fine staying in our room for the night since I am going to be here with you" Merrill says as they were going to share a kiss

Emily started to get sleepy so they were going to go to bed and Merrill was going to sleep on the other bed in the infirmary right now cause he wanted to be close in case Emily has the baby

(Two hours later)

"Emily you are at a seven right now I will check you again in the morning" Adam says as he checked Emily cause he was not going to go to sleep right now cause he was on stand-by for delivery

Emily nods as she goes back to sleep cause she was not going to wake Merrill at all for this cause the baby was not coming yet

(Early morning)

"Emily you are at a ten" Adam tells her
