Oh MrsKHalpert… You know I love a good post series Austin fic… and per usual this did not disappoint!!! I’m gonna venture a guess that Pam gifted her hubby a lovely chain and pendant for his birthday… whatever does it mean??? #opportunityforanotherfic! And Jim wearing Cece’s bracelets?? Of course! He’s a girl dad for sure!
You write every character so very well; it’s impressive! I love that Dwight and Angela have come to visit even though they’re not huge birthday people. And a gift from them no less?!? With a double entendre and that’s what she said?!?!? I mean, what more can we want??
I loved that Dwight called back to his Tetris comment (I think I’m remembering that from canon!) and the appearance of a certain actor’s real life wife! Pam rocked it with knowing and accommodating her guests dietary needs while working, raising children, keeping house, AND growing their third surprise? Impressive.
Always up for Dwight and Jim banter; brough a little tear to my eye and thank God Jim saved the Santa skip or that would just be so mean! Glad to see that our Halperts have a great little life in Austin and we were able to sneak a peek! As always, anything you write is gold! Hope to see more of these little glimpses that tie all of your stuff together! It’s the best!

Oh thank you so much!! For all of your lovely words!
I do love an Austin fic myself, I think it's definitely an area I'd like to explore more in the future! We'll see :) The whole fic was a recipe request, so I hope I did it justice, and I'm glad you enjoyed it
Thanks so much for the review!

Yeah I get why Jim would be so hesitant to have the Shrutes over for his birthday. But by now they are all friends so there you go. Everyone fighting over who's turn it is on the Gameboy seems so wonderfully child like of them. Shows why they all really do have a good dynamic, they all in their own ways like to have fun.
The quick prank Jim was able to pull with Mark's help was great too. Nice to know he's still quick on his feet like that. And of course Dwight still falls for it. After all these years you'd think he would have learned, but alas some things never change.
Pam expecting kiddo number three was a treat too. Same with Dwight being able to suss that out. The ending though with the double meaning was just great steamy fun. Great job.
Author's Response:
Yeah I kinda feel like Dwight is never going to realise when he's in the middle of a Jim prank, especially when it's something that he really likes or is into. So there's always going to be lots of fun there!
Pam expecting the baby (and Angela too) was a request, as was the tetris playing and even Angela liking dogs. So hopefully this recipe worked out ok!!
Thanks for the review :)

Now this was a pleasant surprise. You are such an amazing human being and I will treasure you for eternity (see I’m capable of saying something nice)
I’m sure Jim’s secretly giddy that he’s spending his birthday with Dwight (the universe always wins). And honestly, getting a Gameboy as a present because of Tetris mishap from a years back? That’s true love.
The true star of this story is Cece though. I have never seen a trash-talking six year old in this fic and that is all sorts of amazing. I guess she really is growing up to be a little B-I-T-C-H. Well, not really. She did make that bracelet for him.
I always love a third Halpert baby. He needs to get that vasectomy though. Four might be too much. Also, Dwight being able to sniff out a pregnancy but not being able to tell he’s being pranked is just a cherry on top to this amazing story.
You deserve all my jellybeans for the Reese’s cake. Love it. Best birthday gift ever. Now if only I knew the address of their new neighbor Emily.

Oh god. Don’t give me a compliment. Troll me and send me a jk gif instead
So glad you liked this, especially after you demanded it. Just a shame I couldn’t get the smoothie in. Maybe next year

Awwww. They're having a third kid! Cece and Phil are a lot of fun in this fic.
Oh, Angela. May you always remain this comically difficult. (Although she likes dogs now, so maybe she IS capable of change!) Nor does Dwight, really. Dwight is exactly the person who would get you a pretty fun present with an eye towards reminding you of past errors and berating you into learning something new. (Although I will admit I saw the 'if I die' thing going in a different direction.)
I love the Pam-Angela dynamic here. Poor Pam. Although it appears she's getting to start and end her day quite nicely...

Ah thanks! It’s always a challenge to write characters who we don’t really know their voice, but glad you liked them!
Glad you liked this one, was a lot of fun to write! Thanks for the review and bean!
