Vicki gets sick
Before Merrill knew it the second cruise came and he was excited to be able to be with Vicki a little more and see what she does on her own a little bit, but those plans didn't happen
"Vicki are you okay baby?" he asks her as they were getting ready to greet passengers, and he heard her get sick in her bathroom
She shakes her head no and she cries cause she did not want to be sick
"Vicki it's okay I am going to stay with you the whole time until I have to go up to the bridge to get the ship out of the dock" he says a she was going to take her back to bed and tuck her in
Merrill was going to see if she had a fever and she did, so he was not going to go anywhere at all
"I think you have a tummy bug" he says as he was going to clean the thermometer as well in case he had to check her temp later on
Merrill was going to see if Adam could examine her cause Merrill wanted to see if it was a 24 hour virus or something else with her cause he hated to see her like this
"Merrill why aren't you downstairs with the passengers/" Adam asks him
"Vicki got sick out of the blue so I am staying with her for a while and when I have to go tot eh bridge I am going to see if Gopher or Julie could stay with her cause I know we aren't going anywhere unless I am driving the ship" Merrill tells him
Adam was going to check Vicki out and see what she had cause he wanted to get her better as well
"I say she has food poisoning from the food" Adam says to Merrill
Merrill was not happy that Vicki was going to be in bed for the whole cruise and probably the next one as well and he wanted to have her be better
"I am going to have her on a bland diet to help keep up her strength and I will be checking on her throughout the cruise to see if she gets worse and if she does I am going to give her medicine to help her with the infection that she has" Adam says as he was going to leave and go back to helping with boarding
Merrill was going to dine in his office the whole cruise cause he was not going to leave her for a second at all cause she was going to need him and he did not want any of the passengers to get sick and Adam was going to talk to the staff as well and see if they are washing their hands between prepping the food and cooking it and he was going to see if the food was at temp after it was cooking and if it wasn't Adam was going to get hard with them
"Don't worry Vicki I am going to be here the whole time unless I am needed on the bridge or some place on the ship cause I am not going to leave you when you are sick" he says as he was going to see about breaking her fever as well
Merrill was going to change his clothes and see how boarding was going and he was going to tell the crew where he was cause Vicki needed him since she was sick, and he was going to see if Adam could come and check her over and make sure it was just a virus and see how long she will be sick for as well cause if she got sick there was a chance he was going to get sick as well
"Okay Vicki daddy has some cool compresses for your head and we will break that fever of yours" he says as he puts the cool compresses on her head to break her fever and he was going to prop her up as well so she was comfy
Merrill had Gopher coming up after boarding to stay with Vicki while he took the ship out of the harbor and make sure the ship was on course for it's first port of call too
"How about we get your jammies back on and you can lay back down okay princess" he says as he was going to have her change her clothes and she was going to lay back down
Merrill had her change in no time and he gave her some medicine for her fever so she sleeps a little bit hopefully cause he had a feeling he was going to be on the bridge and not with Vicki and Gopher was going to have someone help him out as well since he was going to be with Vicki in the captain's place and make sure she feels better and get her anything she needs as well
"Here we go sweetheart daddy is going to cover you up a little bit and hopefully the medicine makes you sleepy, so you sleep for me a little bit" he says as he covers her up with a light blanket and he got the bucket ready cause she threw up again and she was not happy either and he checked her temperature and her fever was still high so he hoped the medicine started to work or he was going to do the cool compresses again to help her fever break
"Sir you are needed on the bridge" Gopher says as he came into the office cause the last passenger just boarded
"Okay Vicki I will be right back and Gopher will be here the whole time and if you need anything" Merrill says as he kisses her hot forehead
Gopher started by fluffing her pillows and getting her some water and seeing if there was anything on the television for her to watch as the boat was pulling out of the harbor and since there was nothing on he was going to do a puppet show for her
