This story is marvelous! It hits all the notes on sweetness and fluff and office humor/teasing, and JAM banter. Really well done.
I love the part JAM adjusting to growing up and growing old. Having a kid will definitely make you take stock of those things. Thank you for this lovely story!

Great characterizations with this one. Poor Halperts!

Ivy, so many cute details! Everybody is perfectly in character. And I love that the Halperts escape and no one even notices!
My favorite line was “Is the party over yet?” He whispers through laughs. “When do I get to take my girls home?” Ah, so Jim!
Thanks for adding to the birthday funtivities!

Ivy, this was so funny--like a classic ensemble ep of TO, laced with just enough Halpert sweetness :D So many great comic gems:
“It’s a special day, Cece,” he goes on, and his tone changes to one of fascination. “It’s the anniversary of the day you came out of your mommy’s vagina.” I can perfectly envision Michael saying that! And Angela saying this: “Happy birthday, Cecelia,” she says formally. “I’m glad your parents haven’t begun to dress you like a baby prostitute.”
Breastfeeding--source of endless inspiration :D Michael shakes his head. “Pam,” he says, sitting down on the chair next to her. “Pammy, Pammy, Pam, you don’t have to force your baby to use a bottle. We’re all family here. You can feed her, as God intended, from your luscious bosom.” So wrong--LOL! And poor Toby: “It’s not sexual, you pervert,” he snaps, “it’s natural. Pam’s breasts are beautiful food givers.”
This was really fun, Ivy--a pleasure to read. Thank you so much! :-*

I love how perfectly in character everyone in the office is, to the point of not even realizing the Halperts had left. Great characterization and a very fun story - nice job!

I loved the last moments with everyone just being their weird selves and not even knowing that the Halperts had left. Spot on!

Excellent. You capture the insanity of the office perfectly.
It’s not the first time Pam’s thought that Dunder Mifflin has prepared her well for motherhood.
Well stated!

This is really funny and sweet! You have everyone's characterizations down. Very enjoyable! I hope you write more stories soon!

I pretty much smiled my way through this story. I love how in characters everyone is (especially Kevin, lol). Oh, also the little details you included of Jim and Pam interaction, a little smile here, a little kiss there...that was pretty perfect (and being greedy, I wish there are more of those on the show). Of course, the way you write baby Cece is just so adorable!!
Thank you for sharing!!

You nailed every single character in this story perfectly. Angela's comments about dressing their kid like a prostitute was HILARIOUS!!!
Loved every minute!!

Aww, the antics of Dunder Mifflin Scranton captured in all their glory. Lovely one shot and I liked all the side notes that still referred to the present - a great addition! (sorry, that makes no sense. I just really liked all of this!) Okay, I feel ashamed to say this, but this line was just priceless..."thank you anniversary of the day the male “lactation consultant” - what kind of dude takes on that career path..." lol. Great job, yet again, andtheivy - you're stories are always a treat to read!

Sounds like the chaos of D-M Scranton doesn't even take a break for birthdays...well, we all knew that, didn't we.
“I’m glad your parents haven’t begun to dress you like a baby prostitute.” and "Kevin ambles over because he hears someone mention boobs, or maybe he just has a sixth sense about these things"...classic, just classic!
