I just love this story. It's one of my favorite stories on this site--so haunting, wonderful, and long! I can’t wait until it’s finished so I can take a weekend and start reading again from the beginning. For this chapter...I can't believe Jim wasn't thinking more of Megan with all the ‘I love you's thrown around. Anyway, I just love this story--keep writing and I’ll be there reading.

I'm clapping, bravo!!! Great Chapter, you should have Roy fall off a cliff, Oh wait, sorry this isn't bad fic, it's AWESOME fic! Keep up the great work. "Jim rocked back and forth trying to ignore Roy watching him, and again, if he was a better man he would have asked him if he wanted to rock her back to sleep. And if he was a better man he would have went back into the room twenty minutes later and tried to be quieter while making love to Pam, be he wasn’t because this was his life and he wasn’t going to give Roy anything he didn’t deserve." Completely awesome final paragraph to this chapter.
Author's Response: How did you know that's what I was planning? Weird.

Another long chapter so quickly! Thanks for spoiling us, italianfood. You've created such delicious tension. Roy is such a dick. So glad Franny didn't call him daddy. Looking forward to wherever you decide to take this (and Roy's departure).

This chapter makes me feel like Kelly at a mall closeout sale. That's how happy this chapter made me. Let's go kidnap Krasinski.
Author's Response: No Elly, if we're kidnapping anyone it's going to be Buster! "HEY, BROTHER!" Could you imagine the awesomeness of that and the claw?!?! Buster is my new obsession.

Another great chapter! I love that Roy is intimidated by Jim and Jim and Pam's relationship. I really liked that the Halperts were so welcoming and I'm glad that Jim is actually talking to Pam more about Megan. Can't wait for the next one!

I can't believe Pam said it first - YAY!

Your chapter end notes made me happy since I was worried how Pam reacted to when Roy came around. Looking forward to the next.

Wow, I cannot belive she's letting Roy into her home!!!! I really can't wait to see where this will go. The idea of Jim nonchalantly sticking to Roy has me on the edge of my seat waiting for an updat!!!!

I don't think you've ever managed not to impress me since I read the first chapter of Dunder Hall. I'm completely amazed with how smart you are when it comes to character development because you make them seem like real people. I can totally see how someone including myself could have these same reactions and you never delude it with contrived drama when in this chapter particularly I think you had so many oppertunities to make it cheap and full of random plot twists. When it came to Roy, Pam telling Jim that Franny was his, Pam telling Jim she loved him, and Pam actually talking to Jim about Megan...you far exceeded any possible expectations than I could of had.
Plan to get a lot of threatening messages. I need more!

So I'm normally not really a fan of stories that are so completely AU... but wow. This story is such an exception. It's like crack. I swear. I saw the update pop up in my email and I told myself to wait until after work. Then I told myself to at least wait until my lunch break. Yeah... neither of those stuck. Heh. Can't wait for the next chapters!

You have put my mind as ease with your author's note. Thank you for another great chapter.With regards to Pams drinking. I think it might have snuck up on her. Those long island teas can kill you. Can't wait for more.

You know by now how much I love this story, italianfood, but this wasn't one of my favorite chapters. I attribute that to Pam's drinking with Jim's mom. It just didn't ring true to me. I could see if it were a BBQ or party or something like that, but I guess it was difficult for me to envision their first meeting being an afternoon of drinking. Having said that, I still enjoyed various details--Jim's charming father, Jon's interaction with Franny and Jim taking care of Franny and Pam at the end. So sweet that Pam told Jim she loved him. As always, looking forward to the next chapter and especially the prospect of Jim sticking it to Roy : )
Author's Response: Hey NanReg. The afternoon of drinking was supposed to be more of an afternoon socializing that Pam let go too far when she got nervous about the conversation. I sort of envisioned Jim's mom in this story as being a loose lipped upperclass lady that associates socializing with cocktails. I know it's a weird take on Jim's mom, but I really didn't want to write Jim's mom the same way over and over again. Thanks for reading and pointing out when I do something a little out of character, I really appreciate it and I enjoy good constructive criticism.

I am really glad to have your authors note, because damn. Pam, you're killing me!
