The next morning, Siddhartha wakes up in the middle of the night. He's feeling a little better, but he's still not feeling well. He asks his wife if she's been listening to him, and she tells him that she has been. He tells her that he has heard her say that he hoped she was pregnant, and that she should take a pregnancy test if she wanted to know if she was. She says that's not true, and he apologizes for being so wild. He says that he feels like he is coming down with something, and wonders if he'll be able to sleep in another person's bed. She suggests that they sleep in the same bed, so that they won't have to tell each other what they're up to. He agrees, and they all go to bed.
