“I guess now is as good a time as any . . . friends, I’m taking a little hiatus.” A few of my fans whine and moan but then quickly resume their coffee and intellectual conversation. I actually like playing this bookstore because of the outside courtyard and the overflow of people from nearby bars that congregate on the street to listen. I’ve had this regular gig every Friday night since New Year’s and with that twenty-five percent off books and all the muffins I want. Luckily I have Adam to support me or I would be a fat, very well-read, cat lady.

“Yes, this may come as a shock, but I’m very pregnant! So thank you for ignoring my huge belly and raging hormones.” I smile at a few of the regulars that I’ve come to know over the past few months and the sweet manager that always requests a certain song. I wink at Adam, sitting solo at a small table with his briefcase and a stack of papers.

“I would like to close tonight’s performance with one of my childhood favorites. There’s something special about the simplicity of the lyrics and the charming melody that makes it eerily complex and thought provoking. And of course, Kermit is a rock god! Rainbow Connection.”

After I say my goodbyes and share a few sentimental hugs with the people of Zelda’s Books, Adam and I wander onto the streets of Brooklyn enjoying the remarkably fresh spring night. My due date is in one week and after spending the last month exhausting every stressful child birth scenario in my head, it’s nice to enjoy a relaxing evening as a couple. We get some pizza near our apartment and take a stroll on the Promenade, admiring the twinkling Manhattan skyline in its grandiose splendor. We discuss baby names; I like Penny for a girl and Spencer for a boy but Adam turns his nose up to both. He prefers the classics like Jane and Charlie. We agree that a baby with no first name is an interesting idea and eventually head back to our apartment to watch LOST, wash baby clothes and nest the arrival of baby { } Ford.
