First cruise part 3

Merrill waited outside of the ladies' room for her so he could take her back to the table for dinner that night cause he wanted to look presentable with his daughter at his side

"Done daddy" she says as she comes out of the bathroom with Julie following behind her

"Okay back to dinner okay princess" he tells her as they headed back to the table that night for dinner

Merrill put her back in her seat and Gopher put her bib back on her so she could eat like a big girl that she was

"I want you to eat everything on that plate or there will be no dessert" he tells her as he started to eat

Vicki started to eat her dinner that night little by little, and Merrill cut up pieces that were too big for her to eat by herself

"Yucky" she says as she spit out some cauliflower cause she hated cauliflower

"Vicki" Merrill says as he looks at her

"If she doesn't like it, I can see what other vegetable she might want to eat" Julie says as she was going to see about a small salad for Vicki to have cause she needed to have some veggie in her diet as well

Julie was able to have a baby salad brought out for Vicki with a little dressing on it and she ate it up and she finished everything on her plate that night for her father and he was very pleased with her, and he got her a ice cream sundae for dessert and she loved it

"Vicki, I think you are your mother's daughter" he says as he was going to wipe her mouth off after she had the sundae that night for dinner

Merrill remembers Georgina's sweet tooth that she had and how that was her weakness and Vicki is turning into Georgina a little bit with her sweet tooth

"Okay I think it's time to head to the lunge for a little dancing then it will be almost bedtime for you little lady" he says as he was going to clean her off before they left the table

Merrill decided to have Vicki get in her jammies that night so during the slow numbers he could hold her and hopefully she would fall asleep in his arms, and he could carry her to bed that night

(Later)

Vicki was all ready for bed and she had her doll that was also ready for bed with her and her and her dad were going to be in the lounge for a performance and maybe some dancing as well if she could make it through a song or two hopefully

"We are not going to stay long sweetheart cause you have to be in bed by ten" he says as they entered the lounge together and they were going to find a table to sit together

Merrill and Vicki sat in a booth together and they ordered their drinks and just going to chill for the moment before the music started and then they were going to go out on the dance floor and boogie a little bit and they were going to dance together for a few numbers

"Hi sir mind of we sit here?" Gopher asks as him and Julie were together

"Sure, not at all" Merrill says as the two got in the booth

Vicki snuggled close to her dad cause she was getting a little sleepy and Merrill hoped that the music started the two of them could dance and she would go to sleep as well

"Vicki, I think they are playing out number" Merrill says as he heard the slow music come on

Merrill helped Vicki out of the booth, and they were going to go to the dance floor together and dance together

"I think I know this song" Gopher says as he heard the tune play

"What song is it?" Julie asks him

"It's baby mine from Dumbo" Gopher says as he saw Merrill and Vicki together and Merrill was holding Vicki in his arms right now and enjoying the moment together cause he was not going to get this back ever and he wanted to enjoy it for as long as he could right now

The crew just looked at their Captain and they could not believe that he was a father to a beautiful little girl that he could call his own

"Go to sleep Vicki I am right here" he says as he was talking to her as she was falling asleep on his shoulder right now cause the music was making her sleepy for sure

Soon the tun ended and Merrill and Vicki headed back to the booth cause the upbeat music started to play so Merrill and Vicki were going to head to his cabin to finish their slow dance and she could go to sleep and he could go to sleep cause there was chance she was going to be up off and on through the night cause of the nightmares she might have cause they are on the open water right now and she may get sick through the night as well, so he had to be ready to be up with her

"Come sweetheart we are going to dance more in my cabin" he says as they headed to his cabin cause she needed her sleep cause she was a growing girl

(Captain's office)

"Here we go sweetheart daddy's going to put some slow music on and we can dance together until you fall asleep" he says as he was going to put some music on for the two of them

Isaac brings some warm milk for Vicki to help her sleep

"Tonight you get to sleep with me cause it's your first full night on the ship and a cruise as well" he says as he was going to dance with her while in his captain's attire

After several songs Vicki fell right to sleep in her father's arms

"Night Vicki" he says as he kisses her good night
