(HAHA yea... oh well some trivial facts such as someone to control the boat isn't important for our rp i guess xD)

Once Max wasn't holding Irvin's belly, the waddle became much more pronounced and the human's back arched forward to an uncomfortable angle. Max kept a watchful eye on the human as they got down the steep and narrow stairs, settling into the cabin that was tiny. There was barely any space left once both of them got in, one of them being hugely pregnant and the selkie having such a large build. Max removd his shirt once they got in indoor, getting ready to snuggle to sleep with his mate. "they, err, hmm, not exactly the pregnancy. It's the labor process. Our pups would need to work their way slowly down. I don't know what's the physcial rationale behind, but it takes several days of labor for them to be ready. The smaller the mother was, the longer it take.... usually." he said sheepishly, eyeing the much shorter form of Irwin. He would place the labor at a full week, but he'd rather keep it ambiguous so Irwin wouldn't freak out - hopefully? "my mother mentioned something about the inner opening need to dilate? something like that. And it takes rather long, with the pain quite intense. My father had some permanent scars on him when my mom would thrash out being annoyed with the pain."

He sat down beside Irwin, fully prepared to get on bed, unaware of the bomb he had just dropped. He looked at Irvin who looked rather stupefied, then hugged him from behind in his favourite position where he got to cradle his belly.

"you alright Irwin?" he said, leaning back so Irwin's reclining on him, allowing more room for his hands to sneak through under the massive bump.
