First cruise part 4

Merrill got Vicki all bedded down and in bed before he headed up to the bridge for a little bit and he was going to walk the ship as well before he turned in for the night as well cause tomorrow was going to be her first day at one of the ports and the two of them were going to go and explore together as well, and they were going to be spending some quality time together as well, and he was going to test the stroller or the wagon out as they were in port as well cause he did not want her taking off at all when they were off the boat and some of the crew like Gopher and Julie were going tot ag along for some company as well cause this was a trial period for the Captain with Vicki

"Vicki asleep?" Doc asks Merrill as he saw him leaving the office

"Yup and she has her doll with her and the stars are above her" Merrill says as they walked a little bit cause it was still early and Merrill wanted to check on things on the bridge and around the ship before going to bed that night with Vicki

"That's good and is she gets really sick you know where my cabin is" Doc says as he heads back to the lounge as well

Soon Merrill bumps into Gopher who was heading to the lobby as well to do some work before turning in for the night

"Going to finish up some work Mr. Smith?" Merrill asks him

"Yup so I can go into port with you and Vicki tomorrow" Gopher says cause he didn't have much paperwork to finish up and he wanted to get it done and out of the way before it got too late and he could not go into port with the Captain, Vicki and Julie

"Okay I'll be up for a bit so turn it in as soon as you can" Merrill says as he headed for the bridge

Merrill and Gopher was able to get some work done before they went to bed and Merrill got the paperwork that Gopher finished

"Night sir I hope the first night goes good" Gopher says as he heads to bed as well

"Me too I will see you in the morning" Merrill says as he was going to bed as well

(Merrill's cabin)

Merrill checked on Vicki and he saw that she was tossing and turning in her sleep

"Vicki it's okay daddy is right here" he says as he picks her up and he comforts her

Vicki sobs as he holds her

"Vicki the dream is not real" he says as he was going to walk with her to calm her down before he put her back to bed

Merrill tells her a story and she settles down in no time and is asleep once more before he goes to bed

"I think you need to sleep with daddy in his bed" he says as he was going to put her in his huge bed that he has in his room

Merrill lays Vicki down and he covers her up and he was going to change before going to bed that night with Vicki, and once Vicki knows that he is in bed she cuddles close to her daddy for that extra comfort and Merrill didn't mind it at all

(Next day)

Merrill was the first one up cause he had to get ready for the day and he was going to check on everything to make sure they were on schedule as well and see about Vicki's wagon he was going to have her ride in or the stroller cause he wanted her to be safe as they were out and about and she was little too and could get lost away from the group

"Okay got her backpack all packed with a changed of clothes, diapers, wipes, coat, extra socks" he says as he was going over what was in the backpack he was going to carry for Vicki cause he was going to have Vicki wear a diaper in case there wasn't no bathrooms around for her to use and she didn't feel comfortable using them for a while at least

Merrill was going to go into town in his normal clothes cause he didn't want no extra special treatment either cause of Vicki, so he was going to be just one of the passengers

"Morning sunshine" he says when Vicki woke up that morning

Vicki waves as she rubs the sleep from her eyes as well cause she was a sleepyhead that morning for some reason

"Come daddy is going to get you dressed and we will head to breakfast" he says as he was going to help her out of bed and was going to get her dressed cause they were going to be going into town that morning and he was going to feel like a true dad with her out and about as well

Merrill got her dressed in a cute outfit and he put a diaper on her cause of the unfamiliar place she will be and she won't feel comfortable using the big girl potty for a while, and that was okay with him

"Julie is going to do your hair for our day in port" he says as they headed for breakfast that morning cause it was going to be the first real breakfast on the ship that day

Vicki was okay with that cause she loved when Julie does her hair for the day until her dad learns how to do it himself and that was not going to be for a while at least cause her dad had to learn some hairstyles that he could do for her hair cause it wasn't going to be easy on him at all raising a little girl and having to do her hair as well
