2nd sleepover on board part 2

The buffet was set up in no time and everyone started to help themselves to some food and Merrill helped Vicki with her food before getting his food as well and everyone ate the long table that was on board cause that was the captain's table on the Lindo deck

"Here I got her a cushion to sit on, so she is up a little higher" Gopher says as he gave Vicki a booster seat to sit on as well as she was going to be eating her lunch on deck after the crew had a bit of a swim

"Thank you, Gopher," Merrill says as he went to get Vicki her beverage so she could drink as she was eating her lunch as well cause she had work up an appetite being in the pool and splashing around and having fun as well

Everyone ate their lunch, and they were going to take a little snooze on deck that afternoon before they were going to head for the game room to play some games before dinner that night which was going to be in the coral dining room as well and they were going to come back to have s'mores and tell stories before going to bed that night

"Daddy can I sleep with you?" Vicki asks as the crew moved into the ship cause it looked like it was going to rain so they were going to take their snooze in the lobby where they were cots set up and then hopefully they was not going to be any thunder storms that might wake her from her slumber as well, and if that happens they were going to head to the theatre and Merrill was going to put a Disney movie on and he ha the perfect one in mind for them to watch and maybe she would fall asleep as they were going to be watching it

"Sure, come here sweetheart" he says as he was going to make room for his favorite girl and they were going to take a snooze together as well

Vicki laid close to him, and she fell asleep too his heartbeat for her

"Me little angel" he says as he kisses the top of her head as she was asleep on him

Merrill was going to take her to the cots that was set up behind the deck, so if it did lightening, she was not going to be able to see it as well and she was going to be close to him if they heard it thunder outside of the ship as well

"We will be sleeping here sweetheart" he says as he laid her on the other cot and he was going to be on the cot next to her as well sleeping cause he was tired from the night before cause he started to get jitters cause this was going to be the first sailing with her on board and she was going to be really close to him for a good coupe of years at least until she was able to help out with the boarding process and all that jazz in time and that was not going to be for a while until then she was going to be with him up on the bridge and be with him unless she was asleep for her nap in her room that was off of the bridge or in the other room close to his room cause he needed to hear her when she woke up from her slumber as well

Merrill loved that he got her when she was still little and he was able to soak up these moments with her while he still could cause she was not going to be this little for very long at all and she was going to grow up before his eyes and be out on her own he wishes that he got her when she was a little younger like a baby cause he could be there to see her walk, talk and if he got her any earlier he could see her crawl and he could get to hold her for a lot longer as well then what he could right now cause he could not hold her much

"Daddy is going to be right back sweetheart" he says as he was going to check on a few things as well

Merrill left her to go to the bridge cause he had to check on a few things before the rest of the sleepover could get underway as well

(Later)

"Vicki it's okay it's not real it's only a dream" he says when he heard her start to cry as he came back to her

Merrill picked her up and he was going to walk with her as he calmed her down and since everyone else was sleeping as well, he did not want to wake the others as well from Vicki who woke up from her slumber

"Daddy is right here sweetheart" he says as he was still talking to her as they walked the halls

Gopher woke up and he was going to see what was going on and it wasn't long that everyone else followed Gopher to where Merrill was with Vicki as well

"Is everything okay sir?" Gopher asks him

"Vicki had another nightmare the poor thing" Merrill says as Vicki was still crying cause the nightmare kept coming back to scare her even though she was with Merrill right now

"Let me try carrying her" Adam says as he was going to carry her cause he could see Merrill was starting to get wore down from carrying Vicki right now

Vicki did not want to go to Adam either so Gopher took his shot and Vicki felt safe with him

"See it's okay" Gopher says as he was calming her down right now and she was going to go back to sleep on him cause she felt really safe with Gopher and her dad tried but the nightmare was too bad for him to tackle it alone

"I'll take her and we can sleep in my office right now" Merrill says as he was going to take her to his office for the time being
