::::sigh:::: I hope you will forgive me but I just don't really have it in me to really review this chapter. It's funny, in my own life it was twenty four and a half years ago that my husband who is my daughter's father (but was not my husband at that point) missed the birth of our first child. That long ago and something like a fan fiction story comes along and not only softens the scar, it reopens the wound. Something like that, because it just was so preventable, it's been a weapon through the years that we have used to hurt each other. I just hate so much Jim and Pam, who are a couple that as silly as it seems, I view as having the ideal relationship, and having something that big and hurtful as part of their relationship just makes me ache. From someone who has experienced this I KNOW, it's not something that goes away, ever. Jim can now never talk with Cece and tell her the story of her birth, how he felt, where he was... I know, I seem silly but I honestly cried a lot through this chapter, it was EXTREMELY painful and I know that whatever wonderful things are waiting for them in the future, it will never really make this okay. I'm sorry if I sound dramatic, this just hit me so hard, I guess that says a lot about your writing. I will say, I hope, REALLY REALLY hope that when Jim's mom said Cecilia Marie Anderson that she was just assuming because there is absolutely no reason for Pam to give that baby the Anderson last name. Actually, I know here in Ohio that with the dad not present and them not having been married she couldn't. I don't know if that's the way it is in every state but here the baby automatially takes the mom's last name unless the dad is there to sign the birth certificate.

Your writing, as always, was excellent. You certainly do know how to tell a story.

I'm going to try to get back with it next chapter. I really really hope you can understand. I'm really sorry. :o(

You had soooo better be writing right this second, I mean it. I'll fly to wherever you live to kick your ass in to gear, I'M SERIOUS. This is so good, and it's getting better and better with each chapter.

Is it sad I was upset when they refereed to her as Cecilia Marie ANDERSON? I was like, that's HALPERT TO YOU lol :)

Freaking awesome, god. *happy sigh*

Author's Response: I'm writing, pink swear! Please don't hurt me! Writing "Cecelia Marie Anderson" actually hurt my brain. Funny story, on my first draft I wrote "Halpert" without even knowing... I was reading through before sending to my Beta and I was like, Oh... that's not it! Haha! Thank you for reading and reviewing!
