Definitely my favorite chapter. Nothing beats having sex like a rowdy child, some burnt spaghetti and an infant throwing up on you.
Great job, you!
Author's Response: Why thank you so much

Helene definitely loves Jim more than she does Pam. That sweater is all the proof they need.
Author's Response: His was a great sweater. Hers not so much

That towel has probably been witness to many, many things. I hope it can pay for a therapist.
Author's Response: I feel it would be cheaper to throw the towel away and buy a new one

Navy blue: Justice for that ripped button.
Black chunky: Jim should think of buying her one of her own.
Gucci: Pam should have stolen that jacket. I’m sure Athleap can pay for it
Author's Response: These are all excellent points

This one is just. So. Darling!!!!! First of all, JIM. Saying that a baby and a toddler will be “easy” while the baby is an immobile infant is *probably* the parenting version of saying “it’s pretty quiet around here” in a hospital—- literally the world hears, and sends a giant middle finger in the form of just awful moments… surely Jim learned his lesson after this, I hope! What a joyful, sweet little moment where Cece meets Philip. I imagine that’s how most first sibling meeting go— that new novelty wears off REAL quick— only speaking as an almost 4 year old meeting my little brother— who actually did come home on my actual 4th birthday and I was not very impressed or appreciative of that!
But God love Jim for being hands on dad and going though all those tee shirts without complaint. I love that he’s contemplating the pee shirt being not terrible until it’s soaked by Cece’s bath water— again, on a terrible work day, depending on the location, type, and amount of body fluid, if I’ve completed more hours than I have left, I might just go the Jim route and say fuck it… really selling this nursing thing here, huh? Lol..I also relate to Jim as always having at least some percentage of my clothing perpetually in a laundry basket… it’s cool, Jim. Totally cool.
You, on the other hand, are not selling this two baby thing MrsK! Was I this horrible to my parents?? How did Jim and Pam not just lose it here? And what was this wild sex shirt of which you speak?!?! I feel another story… For some reason (maybe the accompanying pic?) I’m thinking Jim flirtatiously delivers his “Im gonna need you to be a little more careful about your clothes Mrs. Halpert” and I adored that… because it’s totally one of the things we love about Jam… humor and flirting in the midst of mass chaos…
I love that you worked the scrambled egg bit in too! And what a sweet little ending… because even in the midst of all that, Jam remembered what is truly important— and it’s memories like those that will make you howl laughing at the circumstances surrounding such a great moment of love! Although, for my next birthday, I may need the back story of this shirt. If I write a series on Jim’s accessories for your birthday, do we have a deal? Im open to negotiations… hahaha ;) these were soooooo sooo sweet and I love them and you dearly… thank you again so much… it truly warmed my heart! Lots of love and gratitude my friend!!
Author's Response:
Happy birthday again!! So happy you liked all of these. Obviously had to get the scrambled eggs in there for you! Let's see how the negotiations go haha!!
Thank you for all of these EPIC reviews! You really are the best!

Another sweater pic? Oh girl…. I know we both love that sweater! And I’m pretty sure once Pam saw it on Jim, she loved it too— even if it was made out of the same wool that Pam’s sweater was made of… speaking of, why does Helene have so much of this yarn?!?! I love your Jim in this chapter, but really, every Jim you write. Just quietly, confidently letting Pam find her voice and her way to vocalize her feelings to him. I also love the reveal that of course he looked at her that day… because honestly, how could he not? She DID look really pretty that day.
And real smut?? This is a pretty daring Jam fueled by some wine… I’m hopeful too that the lack of streetlights and an empty park gave them some alone time to create new sweater memories for both of them… you’re just the best! This is so darling and sweet and sexy and I just can’t tell you how happy it all makes me! Another winner!!
Author's Response: The sweater of our dreams! Glad you like the backstory for this one!

Oh MrsK…. Pillow talk??? Hint of smut??? Even if this wet Jim is for you, I’m still all into it!!! I can’t decide if I’m in the camp of Jam having a simple dinner and first date kiss OR if they had an extended date like this… but I think it’s terrible that it’d have to be on a work night!!! Nevertheless, you definitely sold me on wet Jim in a towel… especially without the bandage, cause you know this RN would need a backstory!
I COMPLETELY see Michael needing hair and makeup for a Ryan call because he needs to make his best impression— hilarious, and worth another story to read about Pam’s intense morning pulling that together for Michael!!
I love that one of Pam’s top 5 regrets of her life is not joining Jim in the shower too… but it looks like she’ll get a chance to have a do over very, very shortly… how sweet are they with their little banter… and I especially love a flustered Pam hiding from Jim underneath his sheets… so sweet and sexy ;) Nice morning indeed! Thank you for this chapter that I didn’t even know I wanted!!!
Author's Response: I'll happily share wet Jim. Glad you liked it in the end!!

Cute everyday scenes between Jim and Pam through his sexiest clothes. I have no words for the towel thing....
Author's Response: Ah thank you. The towel thing...wet Jim is my favourite :D

Oh my goodness. Jim in a cozy cardigan. I cannot tell you how much I love this!!! And all of the cardigans we’ve discussed at length! WITH some of my back story!! And a little bit of Jam’s first date, which was the sweetest thing EVER!! I love that Pam has HER trusty cardigan ready to go— but let’s be honest… I kind of expected PAM to be the who needed to be kept warm, not Jim!! I can see that beautiful little scene with the cherry blossom trees (so sweet!) and it’s perfect! Again, this is just perfect fluffy new Jam love and it’s THE BEST!!! Cute callback to Michael’s dry cleaned jeans too… and I love that Pam picked him up that lovely cardigan on her travels there! I don’t blame her for taking off the cardigan as soon as he put it on either… because LOOK AT THAT PIC!!
OF COURSE our Jim would wear a tie to meet Pam’s parents as her boyfriend… he does have very nice manners!! I’m disappointed that Pam couldn’t see the missing button on his cardigan, but I’m very well versed in simple sewing such as that so if Jim needs that button fixed I’m more than able to help him!
Of course my FAVE cardigan story is the chunky dark cardigan that Larissa gifted him. I can totally see Pam stealing it for cozy weekends on the couch! I can also see Jim wrapping her up in said cozy cardi as he reads to her on a rainy day… sigh… this is the life I NEED!
I love your take on the Gucci hipster cardigan too… def from a stylist with makeup and hair, and I love that Athleap needs some new hipster headshots— and that Pam was there to witness the awkwardness of that particular cardigan— and I love that they’re still laughing together. Did she want that cardi to use for some Jam sexcapades reliving the chunky black cardigan’s magic??? Jk, Jk… but I love me some Jim in a cardigan!!! Thank you my love!
Author's Response: Well this was the one that set it all off, so I'm glad you liked it! And you know I had to write more than one cardigan, because he looks so good in the all!

Oh MrsK!!!! This was just beyond, beyond, BEYOND girl! It was the sweetest, kindest surprise to wake up to on my birthday! I cannot tell you how much it warmed my heart… and made me a little warm too! I haven’t yet rewatched Basketball after you told me you loved Jim in this episode, but now I will!! I just love how as Pam tries to talk herself out of thinking about him at the game long ago, she can’t really stop thinking about Jim heavy breathing in a different way in that old tee! You captured such sweet early season 4 Jam in this and I loved it.. the sweet couple no longer afraid to show the world they’re together and madly in love… whether it interrupts work or in this case, a community center basketball game, you found that excited, new, bubbly Jam that it just so welcome after season 3 angst. I am not worthy… And the visuals?? OMG. You’re just the BEST!! Thank you!!!
Author's Response:
Well happy birthday! You truly deserve it, what with the reviews you leave and pics you send me. I'm not sure there would have been any other fic that would have done you justice (I hope this goes some way to it!!)
And PLEASE rewatch this episode, I beg of you!!

Love that Jim is so ready to step up right here. Also I'm getting some huge flashbacks of some of my favorite shirts being ruined in very similar circumstance. Annoying at the time, but fond memories now. Also Jim, dad to dad, let your wife help you. She's not made of lace and you'll burn out if you try to do everything. Regardless it was a lot of fun to see Cece meet her brother for the first time and how they start down the path of being a multi-kid family.
Oh also caught a line there that seemed familiar. "Somehow burning spaghetti in a pot of boiling water." Seems like this particular Jim could use some cooking classes.
Great fun with all of these of course.

Interesting reaction from Pam there. But considering the huge feelings she had associated with that cardigan and now Jim's sweater it also makes sense. I loved how Jim was there to reassure her though. Now that they're together he's doing everything he can to make sure she knows that too.
Loved they way they brought some new memories to those sweaters as well. ;)
Author's Response: Definitely needed the new memory after when she wore it in The Merger. I always thought it was interesting she never wore it again, so this was my take on that

A few first date/new relationship flutters there but still a lot of fun to see them so easily happy with each other. Kind of fun to think this was the first nice morning they had. I also think they were either just barely in time to work or showed up a little late. Either way, still lots of fun.
Author's Response: The nice mornings had to start somewhere, why not the very next day :)

Super cute as well. That it all starts with Pam offering her own classic pink cardigan was lovely. Then she amps it up by getting him one of his own and it builds from there. Really a lot of fun to see that there would be some differences between how we see these characters at work and at home. Great way of building all that.
Author's Response: Pam's cardigan is so iconic, it only makes sense Jim has his own one too. Glad you liked this one!

Happy Birthday WithaY!! Hope you have a great day!
Lots of fun in this opening chapter. Past Pam already knows where her heart truly lies. The fact she can't keep her eyes off him and also slips into daydreams is proof enough of that. Loved the time skip where she can finally act on those feelings.
Author's Response: She totally checked him out, and rightly so. Glad Pam got to finally act on it
