Thank you so much for finishing this compelling story. I thought your ending was perfect, considering that the father is still struggling to admit he was wrong. So good to see Jim and Pam and Cece and Phillip (and their grandmothers)so settled in.

Yes, we're still here! I check this page a few ties a day hoping for an update. :). I was thinking about leaving a message saying the 30 days was coming up and your great story was in danger of falling off this "recent updates" page. But I have bugged you for updates before and it kind of feels rude...
Great chapter! I'm glad Roy left right away and that Pam had a chance to tell the real story. And now Pam and Jim can have the evening together to bond with cece and can really talk without worrying about the time.

Picturing Jim holding little Cece in his arms bought tears to my eyes! very well done.

I guess I don't read much of the extreme AU stuff. It hurts my head a bit to read. That's not your fault. But reading a Jim with such a different background is challenging. And then the quotes and things from "real" them adds a layer of stress to my brain. Again these are not critiques as I see the artistic craft in what you've done and are doing. I wouldn't have read all eight chapters so far if I didn't see the quality in the work :)
Author's Response: I very much appreciate you taking your time to read this fic, which is a little out of your comfort zone. And don't worry I didn't take this as a critic at all. Your review was a huge compliment to me. Thank you for reading!

I just reread my last review... how odd, somehow like half of it was cut off. I fished all my Karen and Jim/Karen thoughts and had talked about Pam and Adele and of course finished with telling you what a great story it is etc. and somehow it simply only posted like half. I knew when I first looked at it that I felt like I had written a lot more than that. Maybe I'll try to finish it later? (or maybe I should stop boring people with all my thoughts and feelings and theories. Hmmm......)
Author's Response: Finish if you want, but no pressure. I would love to hear your input on Adele and Pam.. that's the most complicated relationship for me to write, only because it is so delicate and usually when they are talking about "him" they are talking about different people.

I have only just read chapter one, and I feel as though I'm going to be refreshing the update page an unhealthy amount waiting for an update.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you are liking this fic! I'm trying to post a new chapter every week or so...
Date: November 02, 2011 10:59 am Title: Chapter 1
I just needed to add something real quick here... (I know, how could I write THAT much and still have more to add? ::::sigh:::: SORRY!) Anyhow, in response to my last review you talked about being scared about posting this because you have Jim and Pam out of character for the first time. I just want to say that, while any time you present especially an extreme AU scenerio like this, they will be I guess somewhat OOC. Thing is, for me persoanally, I just if they are OOC based on if it seems, given the situation they are put in by the author, do their actions seem to be the actions of the Jim and Pam we know. I personally feel that you have written Jim and Pam VERY much IN character. I mean, that's how I'm guessing at so many of the things you have said I'm getting right. I'm thinking, how would the Jim, or the Pam, that we know, act, given these unique circumstances. I think you are so in tune with these characters because you have written so many excellent stories about them, that you have them down. I think you KNOW how they would react. Jim, even being our own wonderful Jim, had he been raised in the environment you set forth, it would be resonable if his father told him something was going to happen and those things began to fall into place, VERY IN character IMO for him to fall back on what he has been conditioned to believe. That's why when he came back from Stamford he was so condtioned to believe that Pam only wanted to be friends, he couldn't see the times she reached out. The chances she took. Pam OTOH I believe though it would be difficult and seemingly OOC for her to lie to and leave Jim, she saw something different and scary in him and Pam doesn't do different and scary very well. At the same time as we saw with Cece, she was very happy from the time she learned she was pregnant which I feel shows something very maternal in her and I think it's VERY IN character for Pam to put the welfare and well being of her unborn child first and foremost. It was maybe a bit OOC for her to accept the offer of Roy, someone she doesn't know, to go live with his brother, someone she REALLY doesn't know. The thing is, you have to factor in that she was scared of losing her child to the Halpert empire so she knew she would NOT lose her child (which is IN character) and she had to get away and get away fast. When she left she didn't look at this as her final step, I think it was a place to breathe and collect herself until she could think it through and figure out the next step. Anyhow, to me, I find Jim and Pam to be amazingly IN character in your story. (Of course, that's a lot of convoluted thinking BUT that's MY story and I'm sticking to it!!!) :o)
Author's Response: YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUN I HAVE READING YOUR REVIEWS! They always leave me speechless. You are something else!

Really enjoying the story, you have a much firmer grasp on characterisation and dialogue than most which is often the real selling point for stories to me.
I must confess I have some concerns with the plot direction as I see it perhaps going, particularly with the Roy angle. Unlike most I don't actually mind Roy all that much (at least until he went full on crazy trashing bars) but if Pam goes along with this little plan of his I think it'll become a chore to read. It's just stupid in so many ways, and it wouldn't make any sense for Pam, who has already been shown to be incredibly protective of her child, go along with something so emotionally manipulative and downright retarded.
But maybe I'm wrong and Pam will just tell Roy to get fucked. I certainly hope so.
Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the story thus far.That being said, I don't want this story to be a chore to you. So, I would advise you to not read any further because as you so aptly noted, this story will progress in a direction in which you'll find to be... stupid. I don't mind your input, I just think your words choices were 'uncool.' The awesome Mindy Kaling explained it better when she said, "It is just so totally uncool to use the word “retarded” anymore to describe something you think is stupid. It is barely acceptable when uninformed small children say it (and reflects so poorly on parent-ing), and is completely offensive for adults. How inarticulate are you if you have to use this word? How confident are you that
no one you talk to would be offended by it, or worse, have someone in his orher life that has a mental disability."
This is not an attack towards you. I hope you see this as an eye opener and nothing more.
-D

Oh, wow! Two chapters in and I'm already hooked. I have a feeling this one's going to be a heartbreaker. Can't wait to read more.

This has me more than interested. This is so different than anything I've read and I can't wait for more.
Author's Response: I'm glad this caught your eye. This is different from anything I've written. I wrote the outline for this fic about 7 months ago and I have been slowly putting the chapters together. Hopefully it will keep you in the edge of your seat! Thanks for reading.

Ooooooooooh, who is he???? I can't believe he believed his dad, BUT if he knew Pam was going to say she's pregnant.... this is really interesting and different :) I love a bit of drama lol x
