Finally getting around to this one...
first let me say I very much enjoy the way you write scenes with a descriptiveness (is this a word?) that illustrates without overdoing it. It makes the reader feel like they are there rather being told what they are seeing.
*On the drive home, Pam told Jim about the two students she found making out in the janitor’s closet when she went to find some more paper towels for her classroom and how Michael mixed up the words “physics” and “psychic” in an email to her.* - this just tickled me - *D*
And this feels very Jim and pregnant Pam -
*Are there any Thai places that also serve chips and salsa?"
"If there aren't, there should be," he said, mouth full of apple.*
All Jim's good intentions to take the night to tell her being ruined by Karen (even if not her intention) was a twist not expected but well played.
Skipping to the end - again I feel like I was there on the car ride and then in the room. And that last line....ouch.

Well, welcome back to this one. Though we get a whole host of S9 feelings in here. Jim not telling Pam about a big change. Pam not really being willing to talk about it. Add in a dash of S3 with Karen kind of messing things up and hey presto a recipe for some classic feeling JAM angst. Now granted we knew it was coming what with Jim being so hesitant and all.
I will say this for Jim, he hasn't actually made the decision yet. Yes he's thinking about it, yes he wants to, but thus far he hasn't accepted the offer. So that's a small point in his favor for sure.
Still Pam not kissing him goodnight is tough on both of them for sure.

I love this story soooo much! What a delight to see it back! I’m the biggest fan of AU Office stories featuring Jam and I love this one, especially with a baby on the way and new beardy Jim and high school teachers with a crazy principal! Pleeeeease don’t make use wait longer than 18 months! I loved that Jim skipped practice for Pam, but like most things, waiting for a big discussion you’re avoiding will only yield bad things… confident that Jam can work this out, but it’s a rough night tonight. I think it’s even worse that Pam doesn’t seem furious, just sad and quiet and disappointed. Thanks for returning to this fave!

I have a lot of questions.
Number one, HOW DARE YOU.
Number two, where can we find angel investors for a Thai-Mex restaurant, because that's brilliant.
Number three, Karen breaking the news? Really? REALLY?
Number four, was that ending truly necessary?
Number five, you understand you'll be ceaselessly harassed if you don't update this sooner than another 18 months, yes?
Number six, HOW DARE YOU.

I only just read this the other week, so was excited to see an update. But 18 months for the next update? What? No!
That last line is just heartbreaking, please don't leave it there!

THIS after 18 months?! OUCH.
I love that Jim skipped practice to stay with Pam 🥰, but what terrible timing from Karen (of all Mexican food places in Scranton, she *had* to be at that one). But THAT ENDING?! OUCH.
Now I'll be in my feels as I start my school day with my littles today :'(

Wow. Way to come back and just punch me in the face. I love that this year we’re almost getting a season 9-like story, itll be so fun (and so, so painful) to see how they go through it in teacher world. Pregnant teacher pam is my absolute favorite and I am soooo glad she’s back even if it means we have to go through some heartbreak. “It was the first time she had ever skipped kissing him goodnight.” I mean.. ow. I love it.
