And thus we see the great secret about Michael Scott: that for all his insanity, he has his moments of clarity and rational thinking. And it's those reasons for which we love him.
Great job on all these! Very cute and sweet.
Author's Response:
Yes, I thought it was fitting to end with Michael, and with Angela in labor or having delivered. And driving the laboring mom and the nervous/crazy dad to the hospital is a Nice Thing.
I'm glad you liked these, Cousin Mose! I only left out Rescue. My 'rescue' possibilities stank. ;) I was just sort of sticking the word 'rescue' in where it didn't fit. That would be fun for no one.
This turned out to be a fun little challenge to do, but it's disappointing that there are only 3 stories actually posted for it so far. Then again, other people may have realized their stories were outdated and decided they didn't want to bother. I dislike 'wasting' the writing effort, so I tend to go ahead with those things.
Anyway, it was so nice of you to review each chapter so we could have this little 'conversation.' I love the opportunity to talk via these reviews and responses! Thank you so much for the support, Cousin Mose! :)

short and sweet :)
Author's Response:
I have to say, there are a lot of times I check out the number of words in a story to figure out whether it's a major time commitment. Sometimes I have to just leave it for later when I can dedicate more time to it. It is nice at times to breeze through something quickly.
Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, grammarfreak!

Nice job with this theme, Kev! Having Mrs. Schrute pregnant was a great idea. I'm glad the real Angela managed to make it through the season without starting her labor on set. This way she has a few days to relax and have everything in order before the big day. Wonder who'll win the baby pool?
Author's Response:
Thanks, EH! It was fun to think of Angela Martin (Schrute) pregnant and how she would act. You'd have to walk on eggshells during her whole pregnancy, I think. I'm glad as well that Angela Kinsey made it through the finale. Hopefully, she'll be as ready as one can be for her first child!
We should have a baby pool thread on the MTT forum... the prize would be bragging rights, I guess.
Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, EH!

Such a clever way to do this, TLK! I loved all of them, but you really have Creed and all three accountants down so perfectly. And now I've broken my final fanfic-at-work rule: leaving reviews. See what you've done?
Author's Response:
Thanks so much, Sweetpea. I just knew I couldn't do this Word Challenge unless I could keep it simple, stupid. (Great advice -- hurts Dwight's feelings every time.) So it had to be drabbles! We were 'allowed' to skip up to 4 words, but I only skipped one -- Rescue. I did two different drabbles for that, but neither one was right.
Anyway, it was an interesting process, although I have to say I was glad when it was over. I don't know how people do NaNo. Not me, babe. ;)
Sorry to make you break your rules. What's next, stepping on cracks? ;)
Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, Sweetpea! I really appreciate it! :)

Loved Jim letting Dwight think the kitten theme was his idea. And Creed asking if the baby was his. Bwah!
Phyllis in a pink & blue pantsuit is a horrifying thought. Thanks for that. You rock, TLK.
Author's Response:
I'm glad you liked it, lisahoo. Get out the brain bleach for the thought of Phyllis's pantsuit. Maybe it could be pink and blue checks. (Ugh. Whorish and extremely ugly.)
Thanks for reading and reviewing! :)
