Aurora has to go to the hospital

Emily was dismissed to go back to the room to rest up, and Merrill insisted on staying with little Aurora cause he wasn't there when Vicki was born and he wanted to be there for Aurora right now

""Hey Adam" Merrill says when Adam came to check on little Aurora right now and see how she was doing cause she was five hours old

"Hey Merrill why aren't you on the bridge or with Emily?" Adam asks him

"I wanted to be with little Aurora here I am worried about her with her being so little and everything I want to be here to protect her cause I know she is going to need her daddy sometime during this whole journey, so I am going to be there from the start I was there when she took her very first breath this morning and seeing her come into this world and on this ship that her daddy is the captain of is something special, and being able to hold her as well right after she was born I never got to do that with Vicki either, and now I get to have that second chance with Aurora I never had with Vicki when she was a baby" Merrill says as he was still looking at Aurora as she was struggling a little bit with her breathing right now and Adam was going to see what was going on with her

"Merrill I am going to have you do skin to skin with her right now cause her breathing is slowing down" Adam says as he was going to get her out of her incubator and Merrill was going to hold her on his chest

Merrill was excited to do skin to skin with little Aurora

"If her breathing doesn't improve I want to have her go to the local hospital back home for proper care, so you are going to go back to being a captain to get her the chopper that she needs Merrill cause I can only do so much on the ship with what I have and when she goes to the big hospital they can help her more there then what I can do here" Adam says as he was putting her on his chest

Merrill was going to enjoy this moment cause if her breathing doesn't go up he was going to make the tough choice to send her to the hospital to get proper care and that was going to be Cedar where she was going to go cause Adam radio ahead and told them about Aurora and their NICU team was going to be on standby if she had to go ashore to stay for a few months until she was strong enough to come back on the ship and Adam could look after her as well

"Well Aurora it's just you and me kid" he says as he was still holding her Aurora moved as she was being held by her daddy right now and she was loving that extra TLC right now

Merrill was telling her what he was going to do with her once she was strong enough and big enough cause she was too little to go on the bridge, and go where he needed to go as well

(Much later)

"Merrill I don't see enough of an improvement with her so I am going to have to send her to Cedar's for special care" Adam says as he was looking at her vitals right now and they weren't enough for him so he was going to have her get better care right now

Merrill was going to make the most difficult decision in the world and it was for his daughter of course

"I am going to page for Emily and Vicki to come" Merrill says once he called for the launch to come to the ship for Aurora

Merrill calls for the launch and the launch was going to be there in thirty minutes and after he called for the launch he paged for Emily and Vicki cause they had to know that Aurora had to go get better care and he had to hold Emily up as well cause it was going to hit her the hardest harder then him cause he couldn't believe that he needed to have a launch come and take his own daughter away cause she needed better care

"Hey dad" Vicki says as she came once she heard her dad page for her and Emily on the intercom

"Vicki come and say goodbye to your sister she has to go and get better care cause her lungs aren't working like they should for her age right now" Merrill says a she was holding back the tears right now cause he was going to miss Aurora a lot and he would not stop thinking about her and he could not wait to see her again and he knew once the ship docks back home Emily is going to be spending all of her time at the hospital with little Aurora and making sure she is getting stronger for her daddy, and for her sister as well

Vicki looks at her sister who was having a hard time breathing right now and she starts to cry cause she did not want to lose Aurora cause she wanted Aurora to be there when she has her baby in a couple of months as well

"Well Aurora mommy is going to be with you while you are in the hospital cause daddy has to stay on this big boat cause he is the captain, but don't worry when the ship is in port he will be there to spend time with his best girl" he says as he was looking at her as she was looking up at him and Vicki

Emily came a little bit later and she wanted to hold Aurora for the last time before he goes cause once the hip gets home she is going to make sure she is the first one off cause she had to get to the hospital to see and be with Aurora cause she wasn't going to leave Aurora alone or her side until she was back on the ship with her whole family

"Merrill the launch is here for Aurora" Adam says when he got word about the chopper

Merrill was going to let everyone say their final goodbyes to Aurora before she was passed off to the medical team
