Waiting for Big Bird

(Fiction) Jonathan jumps up from his seat, knocking over his mug of coffee, when Mona tells him she thinks she is in labor. They are having brunch at Café Bar. It is one of their favorite things to do. “You aren’t due for two weeks,” he says. Mona agrees. She is not due for another two weeks, and she cannot be sure that what she feels is labor, because she has never been in labor before. “I’m pretty sure,” Mona says.
