The chapter opens with the two of them having sex for the first time. The narrator tries to get the younger man to stop, but the older man refuses. The younger man tells the narrator that he's not sure if he wants to have sex with the older woman or not. The older man tells him that he doesn't want sex with her, but that he wants sex with his father. The young man says that his father's a good man, but his mother is in love with him. The two men argue about whether or not they should get married, and the younger one says he'll give his all to raising the baby. The man says he can't have an abortion, but he can get a divorce if his wife refuses to have a baby.
