First sailing pregnant
Before Gopher knew it was time to sail again and this time the cat was out of the bag and he was a little on the iffy side about how things were going to go since the crew knew that he was with child right now, and he was hoping he could make it through without anyone noticing
"Gopher after this cruise you will be moving into a bigger cabin for you and the little one" Merrill tells him cause Gopher needed the room for him and the baby and right now he was fine where he was, but the sooner he could move in the better cause he was going to be shopping as well for what the baby needed
"Thank you sir and thanks for keeping the pregnancy under wraps and only telling certain people that I am you know" Gopher says as he was finishing getting ready cause his shirts, shorts and of course pants had to accommodate the ever growing belly that was where the baby was
"No problem and promise me you only get a certain size not a size bigger cause people will talk and start asking questions about you" Merrill says as they were going to head down together
"That I can't make no promises cause this little one needs to eat, but I will nibble as needed and eat good meals and exercise as much as I can" Gopher says as they headed down to the lobby where everyone was at right now
Gopher knew he had to do everything that he could to keep the pregnancy under wraps for the time being
"Baby you have to behave right now cause daddy has to help board passengers and after all of the passengers are on board it will be time for the life boat drill and I know you hate that cause of the practice we had already to get you used to the life jackets" he says as he was heading to the lobby
"Vicki says she will baby sit whenever you need her too" Merrill tells him as they entered the lobby
"I will take her up on that when the time comes cause she is the only one I trust to watch this little one" Gopher says as he got his list of passengers that were coming on board the ship
Gopher went behind the desk and waited for passengers to board
"Gopher how are you feeling?" Julie asks him
"Not too bad and the little one is doing okay for their first sailing" Gopher says as he looks down at his small bump that he had
"That's good if someone makes fun of you I am going to be right here" Julie says as she had her list as well of the passengers that were coming on board for the cruise as well
"Thanks Julie I want to do an old wives tail after this I want to see if I am going to have a girl or a boy" Gopher says cause he wanted to see what he was having during this cruise if the baby was going to let him
"You mean the ring trick?" Julie asks him
"Yup" Gopher says as the passengers started to board
Gopher made it through the first boarding with his small bump and no one noticed it and he was glad no one noticed his bump either and up next was the life boat drill and the baby hated that part
(Much later)
Julie and Gopher were in Gopher's old cabin right now and they were going to do an old wives tail with one of the Captain's rings that he had
"If it goes back and forth it's a boy but if it goes in a circle it is a girl" Julie says as Isaac and Doc as well as the Captain came in to see what was going on
"What's going on?" Isaac asks as he came in the cabin
"We are doing a gender test on Gopher to see what he is having" Julie says as she got the ring ready cause Gopher was working on something that the Captain needed by the time they got to their first port of call
Gopher laid on his back and was waiting for Julie to do the ring test
'Okay it looks like it is going in a circle" Julie says as she had the ring over Gopher's stomach where ethe baby was
"Looks like there is going to be another girl on board" Merrill says as he was looking at the ring as well cause it was going in a circle still
"That's fine with me having a girl being my first born" Gopher says cause he was moody right now cause he could not get comfortable at all for anything and that bothered him
Everyone left the cabin to leave Gopher alone
"Well sweetheart we have some work to do" Gopher says as he went to his desk to get the work done cause he needed to get it done before he did anything else
Gopher nibbled on something that he had his cabin and the baby was liking what he had picked out to eat cause he was hungry and he couldn't the cabin in fear someone will see him pregnant
"Gopher I brought you some food" Isaac says cause he was going to be bringing Gopher his meals since he was in his cabin right now and for the rest of the cruise as well until he had to leave to deliver papers or go to the purser's lobby for something and that was not going to be into he dead of night when everyone was asleep cause he was going to work there for a few minutes then go to bed cause he needed his sleep for the baby and make sure she grew as well
"Thanks Isaac and I am going to miss this when the baby comes" Gopher says as he looks at his bump right now cause he was loving his little girl
