The chapter opens with a conversation between a young woman and a young man. The young woman tells the young man that she is pregnant, and the man tells her that he will take care of her. The woman tells him that she will have to give birth to a baby at the hospital, and that she does not know what will happen to her if she is not born. The man tells the woman that the baby will be delivered at the same time as the mother, and she is told that the mother will not be able to leave the hospital until after the baby is born.
