Those were beautiful reasons. :) I absolutely adored this story.
Author's Response: Thank you so much, EtherealTwighlight. Nice to have them back in a place on the show where pre-S3 stories like this don't seem quite so pie in the sky, lol. Glad you enjoyed.

I love it! I feel like this goes hand in hand with the Conversations story. Its like its a part of a series (is it? lol) I really feel like I'm a fly on the wall to their life. Very beautiful, very wonderful.
Author's Response: Well, not consciously a series, but there definitely are some recurrent elements that seem to pop up in my stories...kind of my Office universe and welcome to it, I guess! So glad you liked this one - another oldie, but actually one that I still like (I often cringe when I read my older stuff!) Thanks again for being such a great reveiwer!

How did I forget to review this the first time I read it? This has everything, DM!Jim, Daddy!Jim, MussedHair!Jim, Jam Wedding. A smorgabord of Jim. Mmmmm.
BTW -- 'Lily' is the name we had already picked out for HooBaby#2, so squee for that, too!
Author's Response: A Jim smorgasbord...I like it. After all, who do you know who's more delicious? And hooray for the name Lily! We thought about it for my daughter too (who wound up named Claire), but it's always been a fave of mine. Anyway, glad you liked the array of Jims here and thanks for reviewing!

"i've got all your cooties by now anyway"
seriously, i'm like a puddle of goo... so THIS is one of the stories you were talking about.. wow... is it wrong that i'm jealous of a fictional character? pam's a lucky girl..
Author's Response: Sorry about turning you into a puddle of goo...I'm jealous of her too. Very meta, this fanfic stuff! Thanks - it's always nice to see an older story get read and reviewed! (Btw, where was I talking about this?)

I read this as soon as you posted it, but I was at work so I didn't leave a review - had every intention of coming back and leaving one, but I didn't! I really, really love this - and you did not fall into corny territory at all. Oh no. Not at all. Sigh. The fact that he was all aching for her but was going to just let her go to sleep.....? Gulp.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for this (and also for what you wrote following my review of your piece!) Hope it didn't sound like I was fishing - I'm just truly always interested in what you think, especially when I've written something that (I think) might touch a few common chords I've noticed. Glad you didn't detect a corn factor...and yeah, who could just go to sleep under (ahem) those circumstances?

Love love love. All of these little moments combined have turned me into complete mush. So sweet, so sexy, just all around perfect!
Author's Response: That's so sweet of you to say - thanks!

I am in awe of this piece Colette. And I thought so before I even reached the Divemaster Jim section - of course he expects nothing in return. Of course he caught her flu. Of course he is as good as a mother. Of course...
Author's Response:
Of course...he's a fantasy! But I do think he'd be incredibly generous and loving to her. I also see Pam reciprocating the love - have tried to address that in other peices too (including her forays into deep sea diving.) Anyway, am flattered to have inspired awe in any sense! Off to read your update now...

Great job on this story. I love it; love the tenderness and affection he has for her. I like the format, the little vignettes that give us a picture of their life together. Lovely.
Author's Response: I really think Jim would be that way with Pam (hello, Pam?Wake up!) Glad you liked the format - I tried something similar in an earlier story I posted (Jim's POV) and found it a natural way to write. Sort of impressionistic. Maybe I just have trouble sustaining a thought?!? Anyway, thanks!

Omg, that was ADORABLE!
Author's Response: Thanks. And thanks!

Mostly she doesn’t. Resist.
Awesome. And this...
He tells her he’s not surprised, but he doesn’t say ‘I told you so.’
...is so Jim. Beautiful piece.
Author's Response: I can always hear Jim's (or Pam's) voice in my head when I write them, but never know if it's translating onto the page - so it's great to hear it came through for you. What can I say - just love that boy (such a shame he's ficition!) Thanks so much!

There are times, when the urge to run her hands through it is almost irresistible. Mostly she doesn’t. Resist.
Loved that line. 'Cause why would you ever resist running your fingers through his hair if Jim was yours? Whether it's inappropriate or not be damned! His hair is made for running your hands through!
I'm not generally big on baby fic, but anytime a story mentions Jim holding his baby daughter, my insides go all smooshy. It's just such a perfect image I want to melt into a puddle of goo. C'mon Pam, get with the program and choose Jim, so you two can eventually have the perfect baby girl!
This whole thing was wonderful. Perfect and sweet, but without being saccharine. Loved it!
Author's Response:
Lord knows I couldn't resist. Don't think I'd even try. I must be the anti-Pam.
BTW, agree about the baby thing - needs to have a light touch (tried to avoid heavy baby googly territory.) Honestly, the inspiration for this Jamette was the image in my head of tiny baby fists wrapped around Jim's long fingers...somehow that did it for me. Glad it came off as sweet, hold the diabetic coma. Thanks so much!

Beautiful, just beautiful.
Author's Response:
So glad you thought so!
Date: September 09, 2006 09:27 pm Title: Chapter 1
Soooo sweet, but not shmoopy sweet! I loved it!
Author's Response: Good - wanted it to have a lot of heart, but not cross the line into the dreaded shmoopy zone. Glad you enjoyed it.
Date: September 09, 2006 07:25 pm Title: Chapter 1
That was incredible. I really loved it.
Author's Response: Thanks so much!
Date: September 09, 2006 06:00 pm Title: Chapter 1
So incredibly sweet, and gah - oh so sexy. Really. This is a picture perfect story. It contains absolutely everything I love - wrapped up in a beautiful package. Thank you. :)
Author's Response: Always so great to hear when you liked something xoxox - it's hard not to go all sexy and sweet with these two characters, at least when you 'just say no' to angst...not that I haven't been responsible for my fair share of it around here! This was a really easy one to write, so I'm glad it hit the spot.

This is so, so beautiful and now I'm crying.
This: "or her perpetual craving for chocolate (the taste of it, mixed with champagne, when he took her to hide at their wedding, somewhere he could really kiss her, alone, because, well, finally.)" Was just so- I can't even explain it, but it made me cry and smile and die all at once.
Every moment of this was so perfect and wonderful.
Author's Response: I'm so flattered you thought so...wasn't actually sure that particular line would come across as intended, but it sounds like you totally got it. (I can't explain either.) So glad you liked the story!
Date: September 09, 2006 04:39 pm Title: Chapter 1
This was so beautifully romantic it made my heart smile.
Author's Response: Aw, so glad you thought so.

So sweet! I think I might have a new cavity. :-P
This image: Later, when Lily wakes them at four in the morning, Jim brings her to Pam to nurse in bed. They all go back to sleep in a tangle, his arms around them both, surprisingly strong baby fists grasping his perfect, long fingers. This is my family, Pam thinks.
...It makes me all melty inside.
Author's Response:
Thanks - we aim to make you melty! (though not necessarily cavity prone.)

This is beautiful.
Author's Response: Thanks!

Awww. I love this sweet future you have for them. Of course he will love her this way- all she has to do is let him.
Author's Response: Which is exactly what makes her so frustrating...love Pam, but jeeeeeeez.
