Gopher is on bedrest

Gopher was put on bedrest for the rest of his pregnancy and he was allowed to leave his cabin only for emergencies and anything else as well and that was fine with him cause he needed to help Merrill with anything that he needed done cause his father was going to board three cruises after this one and Milo was going to board this cruise to help him with Vicki cause this single parent thing is no joke at all and it was not easy on him either

"Gopher thanks for helping me with this cause I hate to go through this alone and Milo is coming on board with remedies to help Vicki get over this cause I want my little girl back sooner rather than later" Merrill says as they were getting ready to board and Gopher was going to be using a radio to help with boarding cause he was going to be completely hidden from the passengers as well and was going to be in Merrill's office coming up with Vicki's therapy schedule as well cause she was still on medication to help her get back to old self cause she fell deep into a hole and Merrill has been sleeping with her to help her overcome this

"No problem since I am on bedrest now for the rest of this pregnancy I might as well make myself useful somehow until Milo boards today" Gopher says as he was going to get comfortable as well cause he was going to be making sure everyone was boarding that should be boarding as well cause all of the passengers have to go through Gopher and the Captain as well and Gopher was totally cool with that as well

Merrill heads down to the lobby and he was going to come back and get Vicki cause once Milo boards he was going to start working with her to get her better

"Well baby it's just you and me" Gopher says as he was going to get comfortable as well cause his bump was more noticeable then ever now

(Much later)

"Gopher do you have Vicki's special life jacket?" Merrill asks cause the life boat drill was going to include Vicki and of course Gopher as well and Gopher got moved to where Merrill and Vicki board the life boats

"Right here sir and I have been helping Vicki into it a little bit cause once we have more cruises she will be more scared of it so might as well start now" Gopher says as he puts his one as well

Vick's life jacket was special ordered for her and it Velcro by her stomach and it was a different color as well cause of what she has been through as well

"Thank you Gopher so let's head to our station and Vicki you are staying close to me and don't worry we will see Uncle Milo later on cause he is here to help you a little better then what daddy can" Merrill says as they headed to their station

(After life boat drill)

"I think that went a little better then the first time she was on board and we had the life boat drill" Gopher says as they were heading to the office cause Milo was going to come right after the life boat drill to help Merrill with Vicki as well

"Yeah I think so too Gopher just you rest and if you need anything you know my number and know hoe to page me" Merrill says as he heads into his office and Gopher heads for his room and his new office as well cause his office was moved up to where his room was and he was okay with that cause he was able to see what was going on as well at all times for Merrill

Gopher was going to go and lay down and just put his feet up as well and start some work as well cause he hated to be that far behind schedule as well on this cruise and his mom isn't coming on board for quite a while and he was okay with that cause he wanted to have some time to himself as well

"Might as well start doing these reports" he says as he was going to sit down and work on some of the reports that was going to be due that evening before dinner and he was going to be dining in his cabin for all meals right now and he was okay with that as well and he was only going to go out only if needed too and if the captain ordered him out fo his cabin as well

Gopher was able to get a lot done and then he was going to take a little nap cause this pregnancy was taking it's toll on him as well, and he was going to sleep as much as he could and he did not want to nest now he was going to start that when he was going to get close to the end right now he was in his second trimester of his pregnancy and he was feeling fine except the contraction that started and made him go on bedrest in the first place as well

(That evening)

"Gopher are those reports done for me?' Merrill asks as he came looking for those reports cause Milo and Merrill and of course Vicki was going to be dining on deck that night cause Milo wanted to see how she would deal eating at a table with other people like her father and her uncle and Marshall was going to be coming on board the next cruise to see how she would handle eating with four people then Milo will build it up to where she is eating with six people or mor more or less as well cause her father was in fact the captain

"Yes sir here there are ready for you and you can sign them and now I am going to eat and turn in early for tomorrow as well cause tomorrow there is a lot on tap and I want to make sure I am performing at my best as well even though I am in my cabin" Gopher tells him
