Okay, I love this. I always kinda liked Karen, and felt bad that she got such a bad rap towards the end. This is a wonderful take on her!

I was so happy to see a new chapter of one of my favorite stories!!! And this one was especially great! I love how Pam runs into Cathy after seeing the doc and can finally express how she felt all the while understanding a little bit about what Cathy was feeling. Jim with the kids was adorable! I'd love to see more encounters like this in the future! Thanks for sharing :)
Author's Response: I had to write Pam interacting with Cathy. I felt that Pam needed to come out on top there. Cathy needed to be put back in her place, right? Writing the kids are my favorite part, I'm glad you thought it was adorable! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing.

So glad you added to this wonderful story and hope you write more characters, as suggested. You are giving us a peek into Jim and Pam's family life as they run in to old acquaintances. Your characterizations are spot on! Thank you!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading and reviewing! After what happened with Cathy, i had to write Pam meeting her. I'm glad you like it!

Great chapter! I like your take on each of the characters here, though I think Roy's mom's chapter may have been my favorite thus far.

Absolutely adoring this series. Love all the characterization.
As far as suggestions, other than what you've already written, the only name that came to mind would be Mark, maybe? Or even a chapter with one of Jim's brothers or something, since they always create conflict, maybe a chapter of sthem seeing Jim in a different light? As already been suggested, I definitely think David Wallace would be a great idea.

I just read the rest of the reviews: I totally agree, Alex and David Wallace would be great! Both have some background insight on the characters, Alex on Pam, David Wallace on Jim. That would be fun to read!

Oh, and yes, David Wallace! Could be fun and sweet to see him finally understanding what was the deal with Jim's interview :)

I really like this series! My favorite is probably Karen's chapter, I think you got her well and I think if they were to meet up in the show, they would be able to talk about what happened without any angst or anger :)
As for the suggestions, I'd like to see something with Mark - maybe because he's not mentionned in the show anymore, so it's hard to know if Jim kept in touch with him.
Anyways, I really enjoyed reading this, and probably will come back to reread some chapters again :)

Ooh, Jazzfan had a great idea, too! Alex would be a great one, too! I always though he had a thing for her. Maybe he could run into Jim first, then Pam comes in. I'd like to hear about him! :)

Great story, I really liked Karen, she just wasn'r right for Jim. So it's always nice to read fics where you can see that. Love this so much!

What about pervy Ben Franklin?

Hmm, maybe that cartoonist friend of Kelly's from "The Convention". He seemed like kind of an ass...
PS. @floppyhair "but I really can't think of who else to do!" TWSS! :)

Just caught up with this story and I love it! It's always so great to see Jim and Pam interact with people from their past. I think you've really nailed how Karen and Roy would act in these situations. Like a lot of others, I think it would be great to see a situation with Katy -- and maybe Pam's art school friend, Alex?

Excellent. Loved it!

Wow! This is really great! Karen's "I slept with your husband" thought gave an air of legitimacy to the chapter. Yes, Pam and Jim have moved on, but Pam will never forget that he was with Karen, no more than he will forget that she was with Roy. And Roy, what a guy. Funny how he heard Jim talk about giving Pam a bath - like Jim heard Roy tell Pam that he was going to get her into a tub in the "Basketball" episode. One thing I love about Jim and Pam now is their love and passion are still present despite their becoming husband and wife. It was never a case of multiple PDAs when they were dating, but their affection was never in doubt. And that has not changed. You have captured their relationship and I hope to see you create more reunions.
Will we be seeing Katy soon?

I love this story! Such a great job showing all of the awkwardness between Pam and Roy, but still showing some of the memories they had together. This is such a great idea and I'm really hoping that you'll keep going. How about Katy next? That could be interesting considering she really wanted a great future with Pam... would it be awkward for her to see their baby and would she feel comfortable with Cece??? Just another suggestion!

It is sad how Michael Scott has managed to creative a productive branch.... so clearly, the upside to working for a Michael Scott is keeping your job. The downside is, it's Michael Scott. And unless there's a Jim involved, that's a pretty big downside...
Cecelia in this reminds me a lot of one of my guys. Except, instead of saying Dada, he just breaks down and cries. He's our little Drama king. End of the world having to walk on his own.
Very sweet. Glad one loose end was tied. And now on to the second one.

I'd love to see another loose end tied up, no pressure though:) Not to parrot the other reviews, btu I'm glad you used Karens point of view and showed that she's really a great person.
Glad you decided to post this!

I really like this. Great details with both sides, and you made a good decision to go from Karen's POV and not Pam or Jim's. Wonderful.

God that was incredible. I should get to math homework but I needed to say that! Such a great one shot and I love the colliding worlds and bantering. Add a second chap if you can think of another one, it would be so cool! Maybe they meet up later when their kids are 5 or 6 and Karen/Dan are taking Ethan to see Karen's past. Jim and Pam are just walking outside of the building after another take your daughter to work day and they run into each other. Then they start talking about Oscar's welcome back party and how Karen asked Jim if he was still in love with Pam...
That could be interesting. Sorry you just inspired me to start thinking about other possibilities. Slightly in the future talking about a harder issue, huh? Try it if you like or just forget about it - your choice!

i really like the way your wrote this as if karen was telling a story...its good prespective. i enjoy reading fic' were things with karen are good, and not just the bad one of the story. i really like karen(not as much as jam but i do)

Very nice! I like how it's not necessarily EASY but that all three are able to be kind to each other.
Everyone's voting for a Roy loose end. I'd go for that but ... for a BIGGER challenge ... I'd propose Michael and Holly or Michael and Jan! If you could pull one of THOSE off realistically, I would be MOST IMPRESSED!!

I love stories like these, and I love that you painted Karen in such a nice light. She was never really a bad person, she just wasn't right for Jim. Great job!

Good job, Dedeen! Nicely descriptive--I love the little details, particularly with Cece. On board for tying up the Roy loose end if you're up for it!

like Hannah_Halpert, i also wanted to see them meet up post-baby. i loved the image of jim & karen drinking from juice boxes and sharing goldfish. mmmmm... goldfish.
i also think that there should be another "loose end"... this time roy.
