Vicki's first night part 3

Merrill turned on her little night light before going to bed himself cause Vicki was afraid of the dark cause she hugged onto him as they entered her room that night for bed and he was okay with that

"I better grab my pillow and my blanket" he says as he heads back to the master

Merrill left the door opened just in case Vicki needed him, and so far, she was still asleep like a little angel right now, and once he was back in his bedroom Merrill was just going to climb into his bed, and go to bed cause it was going to be better on his back, and he might wake up if Vicki rolled on top of him if she fell out of her bed, but that was highly unlikely she was going to do that

(Two hours later)

Merrill heard crying from Vicki's bedroom, so he got up to see what happened

"Sweetheart are you okay?" he asks as he came into her room after turning on the light

Vicki was still crying

"Oh, honey it's okay all kids wet the bed sometime when they are little or when they are in a new place come on let's change your clothes and daddy will put on pull-up so you can stay dry, and he will strip your sheets tonight and tonight just for tonight you can sleep with me in my bedroom would you like that?" he asks her as he got down to her level right now

She nods as she looks at him

"Okay my room is right over here, so once I get you changed, we will go to my room to stay for the night and maybe we can look at the stars and if we see one let's make a wish, but don't tell daddy what your wish is it won't come true" he says as he was going to change her clothes and her bedding

Merrill put her jammies and her bedding in the wash to be washed right away and he was going to put them in the dryer later that night

"Okay your jammies and your bedding is in the wash being washed, so let's head to my bedroom to look at those stars" he says as he takes her to his room

Merrill had a balcony off of his room and he took Vicki outside and he sat with her on one of the lunge chairs and together they looked at the stars

"Some stars make different shapes and I will get into that when you are older and you understand it more right now you know some numbers and numbers and know how to count in Spanish cause your mom took you on trips around the world and visited many sites along the way and now you get to do that with me we get to see the world on many cruises and some spots we go are really warm, so I am going to have to take your summer clothes with me when we reboard, and we go to places where it is really cold so I am going have to get you a snowsuit, boots, a warm hat and gloves" he says as he was thinking of the first cruise that they will take once they back on board and that was not going to be for a while to say the least right now, and once on board the ship he will have to get her settled back in and on some type of schedule as well and she will have to come with him everywhere for the time being cause no one could watch her right now

After a while she fell back asleep on her own and he carried her to his room and tucked her in for the night before going to bed himself

"Night Vicki, I love you to the moon and back" he says as he kisses her good night before going back to bed himself

(Two hours later)

Vicki woke up crying and Merrill woke up when he heard her crying

"Vicki it's okay it was just a bad dream" he says as he holds her close cause the nightmare woke her right up from her slumber

Merrill was going to make her some warm milk and he hopes she will fall back asleep and won't have any more nightmares, but that was highly unlikely right now cause she will have nightmares for a while until she is completely settled into her new home and her new environment as well and that was going to take time

"Here we go Vicki some warm milk and I think a night walk might help" he says as he was going to go and get the stroller so she was comfy as they walked that night, and they might go to the ship and sleep there

Vicki took the sippy cup of milk and started to drink it

"Easy honey don't choke" he says as she was drinking, the milk right now

Vicki slowed down as she was drinking the milk that her dad gave to her

"Come on" he says as they left his apartment to go on their walk that night

Merrill loved the night air and he loved being out with Vicki as well and spending time with her

"We live close to port so we can go by the ship, and you can see it more up close with me cause I presume you did not want to see where you were going the first time, and since you are with me, I can explain it more" he says as they headed to the ship

Merrill saw the lights were on the ship and he was wondering what was going on

"What's going on?" he asks as he comes on board and he sees the crew in their jammies

"Decided we should have the slumber party early" Doc says to Merrill as they were going to help Vicki cause she was still scared and maybe settle her down so she sleeps good that night

"I think that will help cause I tried everything and no dice with her" Merrill says to Doc
