Gopher's dream

Gopher decided to head back to the ship cause he thought that Merrill needed to be alone with his dad and go over what the game plan is going to be when he goes back on board with Vicki cause this is going to be difficult at the beginning cause Vicki did not want her dad to leave her at all until she fully recovered from this experience cause time will tell when she is going to be fully recovered from this cause she will not want to leave the cabin at all for anything unless Merrill was with her or his father was with them cause she will be afraid of who will get her next, and then she will never want to leave her room cause she will be living in her room or the office for a couple of cruises and Gopher was going to have to do everything on his own until his mom comes out to help him cause he was alone in this journey

"Well home sweet home" he says as he was back in his cabin

Gopher makes sure everything was still there and it was, so he was going to get some sleep right now cause Doc wanted to see him in the morning to check on the baby and see where the baby was that way he has a better view for when Gopher is going to have the baby, and Doc wants to see if the baby was going to have anything wrong with it that way if Gopher needs to do anything extra for his pregnancy he can

"I might as well get ready for bed and then go to bed cause tomorrow is kind of a big day" he says as he was going to go to bed and get some sleep cause he needed to sleep cause it was important for the baby's growth right now and he needed to sleep when he could as well cause once the baby arrived he will not be able to sleep that much either cause he will be busy taking care of the baby and his ship duties as well and that was not going to be easy either cause he was going to learn to juggle parenthood and being a purser as well

That night Gopher started to have his dreams and this was the labor dream cause he knew he was going to have those dreams a lot leading up to when he has the baby

(Gopher's dream)

Gopher was in the lobby catching up on some paperwork and he was going to got o dinner cause he has been going to both services that night cause he has been hungry lately, and the captain really want to see him more cause he has been hiding most of the day in his cabin, and the captain has been joining him as well to talk and see how he has been doing lately, and if he goes into labor Merrill could escort him to Doc's office where Doc is going to deliver the baby as well

"Hey Gopher" Merrill says as he approaches Gopher that night cause he has not gone to dinner yet he was catching up on paperwork that has been piling up and he wanted to stay ahead of the game right now and Merrill saw that he was almost done with the paperwork that needed done before he did anything else

"Hello sir" Gopher says as he gets up to stretch cause his back has been killing him cause he was filling out all of the papers that was piling up like crazy

"You ready for dinner?" Merrill asks him

"I am totally ready for dinner tonight cause Isaac has been bringing me chips and dip and water to keep from starving to death, and to keep the baby happy as well cause the baby has bene happy with me lately since this cruise started, and I have a feeling I am going to be meeting this little one sooner rather then later" Gopher says as he was hot by a pain in his middle and he was taken back to what just happened to him

"Gopher are you okay?" Merrill asks him cause he was worried about him right now cause the baby might be coming that night maybe

"I'm okay it's just a cramp" Gopher says as he comes out from behind the desk to walk with the captain to dinner that night cause he was hungry and wanting some real food in his stomach that night instead of just snacks

"Okay if you are sure cause if it's not I can take you to see Doc and he can give you a full workup to see if the baby is really coming or it's a false alarm" Merrill says as they were still heading for the dining room that night for supper

Gopher is hit by another cramp ten minutes later and he is worried that this is the real thing and that he is having the baby now

"Sir you better take me to see Doc cause this might be it" Gopher says a she was breathing along with he pain right now cause it knocked him off his feet right now

Merrill didn't think twice about taking Gopher to see Doc and see if the baby was coming that night

"Sir do we have time to stop at my cabin for my bag?" Gopher asks as they were heading for the elevators

"I can pick it up for you if you end up having the baby tonight" Merrill says as they board the elevator to go to Doc's office and have Gopher checked over to see if he was in labor

Merrill was keeping Gopher calm and talking to him as they headed for Doc's office and they knew he was in cause he went to the early dinner in case something happened and he had to examine a passenger or a crew member in this case

(Doc's office)

"Adam you here?" Merrill asks as he was helping Gopher into the waiting room

"Yes Merrill" Adam says as he comes out to see who he brought

Adam sees that it is Gopher and it looked like he was in labor and he had to deliver the baby

(End of dream)

"Baby you better not come during dinner" Gopher says a she looks down at his bump right now
