Brilliant as always! Michael, Andy and Dwight were so amazingly and irritatingly in character, wow. Andy getting irritated with Jill for playing with his tie! Really just wow, but I totally believe it.
Author's Response: :-) Semby your reviews make me smile! Thanks so much for the kind words!

About Jillo...I have a dear friend named Jill whose last name starts with an O...and that's what I've always called her :) Good choice.
Author's Response: Oooh! Nice! Glad it was a realistic sounding nick-name!!

What a treat to get an update to this lovely story. It brings back fond memories of the days when my kids were young and I was trying to balance the same tasks of wife, mother, work and school. Crazy.
Love the Dwight/Andy/Michael silliness. Loved the voicemails. Loved the pranking. This story is so much fun to read; always makes me smile. Thanks!
Author's Response: Aw!! Thanks so much EverybodyHurts. I'm glad I could bring some smiles to your day! :-)

Is it wrong that my first thougt was Jill is So cute! And then I realized I was talking about a fictional baby?
And eek, Pam, a dead baby in a drawer is not a good dream at all.
Confused... in the conversation with kelly, Pam thinks 'not going to iron my 9 month old's hair. But at the beginning of the chapter, you state that Jill is almost a year old/twelve months....
Anyway's Kelly kind of reminds me of Rachel's sister on Friends who does a baby makeover... hehe. Or tries (because apparently people don't like to be told their babies are ugly).
"Ok, you're mom just" should be your. Who knew I would learn more grammar from fanfic than 12+ years of school.
Eew, and Andy and Pam baby. Oh that poor child. Actually, more poor pam for doing that with Andy *shivers*
And now Andy wants to be her god father... Angela, why do you mention these things around Andy...
And now Dwight. Its like... choose between two horribles.
And now Michael....
Really, those three... noooo.
Jim is superman!
Such a great chapter :). Toby would be the much better choice.
Author's Response: Good catch EmilyHalpert....the 9 month thing was a typo. I'll go in and change that! Thanks! And yes....Angela really needs to NOT talk to Andy, right? Thanks so much for the feedback!

I've passed over this title until today, thinking it would be sappy and gooey. I read the first chapter and thought, wow, this is really good. I read the next and realized it was great. Then, I clicked on the down arrow and squealed like a little girl because I had 13 more chapters to read!
Unbelievably good. I laughed, I cried, I think I even snorted once. Then, I skimmed through the whole thing again.
The Office (and the fans!) would be lucky to add you to their team of writers. Your writing feels effortless. Jim's voice - inner and outer - is perfect. The dialog, the banter, I can hear the actors voices read your words.
Thank you!

Just finished reading this entire series again, and it's been a few months since I last read them. I'd just like to say how incredibly happy I feel after reading your stories, they really are amazingly well done. Seriously made my day go by way faster, and now I have a big smile on my face as well.

What great dialog! This is the first story I've read here that had me laughing out loud over and over. I lovethe game of Would You Rather and that Jim threatens to name the baby Schrute!
Just great. Thanks for writing this.

Aww it was nice to see Pam doing something really really sweet for once! Its seems more special too cos we know Jim can do that sort of thing no problem but its a big deal for Pam. And she got the courage - awwww! Its a big deal - this was a GORGEOUS chapter. My fav story by far - update soon!

"I have never gotten out a sheet of paper with the intention of using it to write down all of my feelings for someone. I do that with colored pencils or with paint...but never this way."
I really like this analysis of Pam's artistic skills- how they help her express things in an abstract way b/c she's not so good at doing so in a concrete way. Excellent chapter, overall. Pam saying that all the other babies 'should just go home' is so cute/hilarious I can't stand it. I love this story!
Date: June 17, 2007 02:39 pm Title: The Best Daddy
Wow, that was some letter! Aw, Pam. He really is the best daddy, and she is the best mommy/wife for realizing that and managing to articulate it so well in that letter.
Date: June 17, 2007 06:40 am Title: The Best Daddy
Hee :-D I want to have a baby, and I want it to be with Jim. You make it all seem perfect. How can we make this happen?
Date: June 15, 2007 07:02 pm Title: The Best Daddy
I don't know how you do what you do, but...you need to just keep doing it. Never stop. Seriously.
This was just so incredibly perfect. I loved everything. Everything.
Date: June 15, 2007 12:43 pm Title: The Best Daddy
Awesome. Just. . .awesome! I think the thing I love most about this story is how well you describe Jim and Pam's interactions. I could totally see them doing this. I wouldn't be surprised if the writers of the show were reading this and used this for future episodes. You characterized Pam perfectly, I could totally see her writing something all mushy and then being bashful about it. I'm seriously loving every chapter you write. Baby Jill is wonderful, and the way you write her, she's just so darn cute!
I actually pump my fist when I see that you've updated. I think that says enough.

Ok, so I've totally schlubbed off work today and read this story in between assignments, and WOW...this is soooo great! It's making my favorites for sure!
Date: June 15, 2007 11:18 am Title: The Best Daddy
So perfect! Haha. I love every installment of this. And I love how you keep it so topical, for Mother's and Father's Days.
Thanks! Always a joy to read.

Oooh...loving this story...
And also, for what it's worth..the baby has a GREAT name!
Date: June 15, 2007 07:50 am Title: The Best Daddy
I thought I had left a review for this chapter already, but I guess I haven't (foolish, foolish me!!) You have woven this amazing and utterly believable story of Jim and Pam as parents. Everything you write just comes across as so real and so very true. It's beautiful and poetic. Completely and utterly always devour your chapters. Please, never let this fic end! LOL
Date: June 15, 2007 07:48 am Title: The Best Daddy
Once more, your story never crosses that line between sweet/hearfelt and googly schmoop. (And it's a hard one to tow, I know.) Is it the wit? The perfect character voices? The touch o'sexy? Whatever it is you're doing, it works.
yep, it's the same hand alright...this one tastes like chicken.
LOL. And all Jim's kissing Jill's little face and fingers and Pam appreciating and loving him so much? Utterly delicious. You've just created another puddle of Colette. Hope your happy now ;-)

A-MA-Zing. Sweeter than the icing on the cinnamon rolls. (And we call HooBaby "Lily Bean", so "Jilly Bean" made me grin like a fool.)
Date: June 15, 2007 05:44 am Title: The Best Daddy
oh my goodness!!! i LOVE this SOOO much! This fic always makes me smile and swoon, but you outdid yourself. Jim IS the best daddy, and Pam is SO precious. What I love about this is how absolutely in love they are. it's wonderful. GREAT chapter and so well timed :)
Date: June 15, 2007 05:41 am Title: The Best Daddy
Aw! To quote you, this was thoughtful and sweet and charming (I added that last one). And She's like Baby Ala Mode? hahahahaha. Oh, and the most funny:
"Jim, it's Father's Day...If we can't have cinnamon rolls and sex at noon today...when can we?"
Date: June 15, 2007 05:02 am Title: The Best Daddy
this was so sweet and that letter wow, and it was so perfect and then the end was funny, and not gonna lie, tears in my eyes...

LoveFool, it's official. You absolutely, positively, most definitely CANNOT top this chapter. It's just impossible. I'll eat a can of worms if you do.
(You won't actually hold me to that, will you?)

This was great. I think you write Jam fluff better than just about anyone else.
