With the rise of the morning sun, so does the appearance of new life in the bay. A mother has given birth to her expected calf during the late night. She felt the beginning pains of labor yesterday, as she swam towards the bay. Once she entered the bay, she was not alone, there were other females and calves, even some other expecting females. Some have begun their labor pains also. She swam through the warm waters and watched as another mother nuzzled her calf. She thought how wonderful it would be to soon nuzzle her own little calf.
She was scared for this was her first calf. But after she assisted two others during their deliveries, she knew she would not be alone through this. There in the moonlit waters, her pains were more frequent, she was delivering her calf. She called out in pain. another expactant mother came to her side and whistled to her, she used her pec and stroked the back of the laboring female. The comforting touch of the other female helped her as she continued the delivery. As the calf entered the water, her pain subsided. She pushed the calf towards the surface for its first breath.
With the calf's first breath the sun broke through the water. She vocalized softly to the calf and nuzzled him gently. Now it was her moment to bond with her new calf, as they both learn together.. as a family.
this is where your cetacean can be born or has come to give birth. Or maybe passing through or your a permenant resident of the bay.)
