The next morning, the two of them go for a walk, and the narrator apologizes for being late. He says he's been up all night, so he'll just leave it to the narrator to finish the poem. The two chat for a bit, and then the narrator asks if the two have been together for a long time. The narrator says no, but then the two start talking about the baby, which is due in the winter. He's not sure if the baby is going to be a boy or a girl, but he figures it's probably a boy. He asks if there's anything he can do to help, but the narrator doesn't want to get into a fight with him. He tells her to be careful with her words, and she agrees to give him a picture of the baby. She says she likes the whale, and that she'll use it for prenatal care later on. She tells the narrator that the whale will be a great source of information for the baby's birth, and he agrees. He then asks if she's had any contact with the man who's supposed to be accompanying her on her trip, but she says no. She's just on call at work, so she can't do anything about it. He suggests that she might have a problem with her boobs, which she says will get bigger if she gets pregnant. He also suggests that maybe she should stop hanging out with the guy, since he'd be better off taking her along on his trip instead of her.
