Part 3
Merrill brought Vicki into his office and he was going to lay her down and he was going to do some paperwork as she was taking her nap cause he had to still be a Captain as well as be a father to her as well, and he had to learn along the way how he was going to juggle it all at once without it getting to him
"She looks like Georgina when she sleeps" he says as he was looking over at her as she was still napping as well cause he was looking at her as he was doing his paperwork as well
Merrill was able to get all caught back up on his paperwork right now and he was going to spend more time with Vicki and once the next cruise gets underway he was going to try to spend as much time with her as he could and that was not going to be easy on him at all cause he had to be on board some of the time, and he was going to see when he could go ashore with her and when he could not go ashore with her as well
"Okay time to plan our day when the cruises are underway" he says as he was going to try to come up with a plan on what they were going to do together both on board the ship and when they got off the ship as well cause he wanted to make memories that were going to last with her and they could look back on one day and laugh as well
Merrill was able to plan where they were going to shop and where they were going to eat at as well cause he wanted her to experience it all and at a young age as well cause she was never going to be that age ever again ever
(Later)
"Hey Vicki want to have a tea party?" Merrill asks her cause she woke up from her nap and he thought this was the perfect time for the two of them to have some alone time together and he wanted to break in the tea set that he had bought for her to play with and she could have tea parties with him and the crew or her stuffed animals as well if she wanted too
Vicki's eyes went really big cause she wanted to play tea party cause she remember her and mommy playing tea party before mommy got really sick and she could not play anymore
"Okay I'll get the tea set and I'll show you're your dress-up clothes and we can dress up and be fancy of you want" he says as he was going to get the tea set for the two of them cause he wanted to spend some one on one time with her while he could cause once the cruises get back underway there was not going to be much time for the two of them to be together, and he was going to have to figure that out as they go of course, and he has to figure out a way he can keep Vicki close to him for ship events and everything else as well
Merrill had the tea set up in no time and Isaac brought the tea and small sandwiches and sweets for the tea party and of course Vicki wanted to invite Isaac, Doc Gopher and Julie. Doc was busy in his office and Julie was busy as well working on different activities and Gopher had some free time so he was going to come to the tea party and have fun too cause he was going to help Merrill with Vicki so he was going to be getting on the activities that they do so maybe he has an idea on what he could do with Vicki if the Captain was busy
"Daddy you and Gopher wear funny hats and feather's and talk funny" Vicki says as she was going to be in charge of the tea party cause she went to get some of the stuffed animals in on the fun as well cause this was going to be fun for everyone in volved as well
Merrill was going to go along with it for now cause he had to get use to it now cause he had a daughter that was going to be into that kind of thing from now on, and he had to do anything for her and that meant dressing up and talking weird as well which he didn't mind at all
"Do we pretend that we are guests and knock before going to the tea party or no?" Gopher asks him since Vicki was trying to get the proper set up for her tea party as well
"Yeah and remember we don't talk in our normal voices until after the tea party is over and then we can go back to normal" Merrill tells him as they approached the office where the tea party was going to be
Gopher had a hard time keeping a straight face since him and the Captain talked in their girl voices and Merrill had a hard time as well keeping a straight face too and Vicki was loving it cause her dad and Gopher sounded funny during the tea party
(Later)
Vicki went to play with her other toys while Merrill cleaned up the tea party cause it was a lot of fun and Gopher loved it as well cause he got to kick back and relax as well, and Merrill was able to get some work done as well since she was playing by herself right now cause she didn't have no one else to play with her at all and Merrill was hoping that families would come on board and Vicki could make friends and if there isn't any kids that came on board Merrill was going to see if he could bring one of the orphans aboard every cruise so Vicki had someone to play with
