Sometimes I forget that these two are that well off. Thus they can afford things like a suite at the Super Bowl, surprise tickets to Paris, and that suite at the Ritz. It's all highly indulgent, but that's also part of the fun of this story.
Jeez, something's going on with Helene. Using Michael as just a fling, running off to Europe, not answering any of Pam's questions. Something's going on there.
Fun way to work in the fake proposal though. On top of the Eiffel Tower was a great bit of fun. Glad to see this one back.
Author's Response: I love the life they lead. I somehow need to figure out how to make it mine. But until then I will live vicariously through our favourite couple.
Date: August 17, 2024 06:58 pm Title: The Fourth Month Part One
Yay you’re back!
I’ve been missing this story.
I’m guessing Helene is seeing someone on the side and is hiding it which is why she all of the sudden is moving to Europe.
That Channel bad is insane. You could buy a car for that!
I like how Pam is changing her mind about not getting engaged and is disappointed that Jim didn’t do it. I’m curious about what it is going on with Jim’s parents. I feel bad for his mom since she’s sort of stuck in the middle of her son and husband.
Please update soon!
Author's Response:
I’m so sorry! I do think of you often and want to get the story written quicker for you! Also, I hope you checked out the Dundies for your award!!
You’ll find out soon enough why Helene is running away! I promise it will be soon!
And yes the Chanel bag is insane, but also beautiful!
We’ll be back with Jim’s side of the family soon enough, don’t worry!
Thanks as always for your review!

Ooooh do I smell D R A M A cooking? Hello Christy Kelly!! Is Cathy gonna get fired (hope so?) are we gonna meet Billy?? Please write faster old boy. We love Jim being supportive with Pam's concerns re: Scranton, look forward to seeing how that trip ends up going!
Author's Response:
Do you smell it? I should hope so because I am cooking it up and stirring that pot!
Man there's so much more to come, can you just write it for me?
Date: April 02, 2024 05:50 pm Title: The Third Month Part Two
Oh, here I am! Not trying to procrastinate! Just catching up on my reviews! I loved this chapter, btw. I love HD Jim so much, though, so I wasn't surprised. You did the sweet New York "not on the same page" bit SO WELL! I always wondered why Jam felt "off" during this day because when filmed, they're clearly on the same page--on the phone at the same times, talking about the same things... totally on the same page! Either way, it's darling!
And I have to say that I definitely disagree with Pam... Helene CAN stay at a hotel. Frankly, with these demands, Helene SHOULD stay at a hotel. Taking over Pam's room? Good lord. I mean, she could have been Googling nearby hotels instead of interrupting her daughter's sexts with her boyfriend, you know? Ugh... Michael asking about turkey parts at Thanksgiving is going to be the LEAST awkward part of Thanksgiving now! I suppose it does give her something to bond over with Betsy... but still. Kinda can't wait to see the next in person Helene/Jim interaction!
It's def a tough call between demanding, awkward having seen Jim's penis Helene and the hormonal combo of uppity, pissed, holier than thou Angela and no filter, in a truly questionable relationship, unfiltered Kelly. I don't envy Pam having to make this decision. I would pick Jim and painting. Somewhere far, far, away from this mess. Good Lord! Nice touch with the differently priced items of Helene's. Could she be a little bit insecure about her daughter's success? I mean, she certainly picked nice, middle of the road options but much more affordable than Pam's. Great detail!
I love that Jam took advantage of technology allowing Jim to FaceTime into the appointment. We all knew he and his baby book journal/notebook/pro and cons lists weren't going to miss it though. Speaking of, that whole scene was GOLD and needs to be FILMED. Jim on the phone making wisecracks, Helene making googly eyes at Michael, Michael trying to impress an interested Helene, and a mortified Pam is just comedic brilliance! I love all the lines. Michael's birth stats, Helene's correcting him, and Jim's "pretty sure that's not how that works" is just so perfect! I LOVE it! I did find Pam a bit rude in accepting the call about De La Renta. Especially since it came from Angela. Crabby Angela. Leave the poor woman alone at her prenatal appointment! But excited for them at this new prospect and all it has to offer the HD world!!!
And smut. Glorious smut. How sweet of Jim to surprise Pam! Perfect use of the brilliantly delivered "No, I just missed my wife" line too. And yes, I do agree with Jim--Pam should be more careful about working alone after hours. I'm glad he mentioned it. I hope he did lock that door. Something makes me wonder that someone probably saw something and will result in an awkward Jam interaction. At least it wasn't Helene though! And just like that, all's right in the world again--Jim, Pam, and baby are back together again! Can't wait to see the maternity things you have picked for Pam now that she's popped! I mean, she is a De La Renta girl after all! Thanks for this glorious AU that is so fun and lovely! You're the BEST!! Much love friend! See you soon!!!
Author's Response: I don’t even know where to begin to reply on this one 🙈 so I’ll just say thank you so much and I’ll see you soon!

Okay, I'll review the rest later, but Jim's drinking Yamazaki whiskey? Good choice! Wish I had some right now. Moving on.
Nice to see things moving along. Loved seeing Jim and Pam out on a date. Especially considering they still can't keep their hands off each other. It's wonderful to see that they still just want to be close like that.
The trip to Scranton seems like it'll be an interesting one for sure. Not just with Kelly barging herself into it, but with all the drama Pam is facing.
Speaking of Kelly, I'm with Jim. I've never been a fan of Ryan, and you did a great job in confirming that. How he's more interested in his phone, he doesn't listen to Kelly, just does something halfway, still lives with his mom. Seriously, he's not great.
Getting lots more of the characters together for the class was a lot of fun. Gabe being at a Lamaze class even though he's adopting seems to ring true. Guy is just weird. What I do love is Erin and Pete together like this. And they're expecting a baby too! Must be something in the water over there in NYC. Always love seeing Erin and Pete get together.
Meredith trying to put the moves on Jim is a nice nod to canon as well. Maybe one of these days Jim will have to sign a fake name on something just to throw her off his tail for a bit.
Loved getting the update for this one.
Oh and I would be remiss if I didn't mention Dwight. He's in full Dwight glory that's for sure. Maybe it's the beets that are the root cause of all the new kiddos! I'm sure he'd love to think of that.
Author's Response:
Thought you'd like that one about the whiskey!
Scranton will definitely be interesting, but that's still to come. And yes, Ryan is totally the worst!
I love Erin and Pete too! There was a little nod to Erin being pregnant a while back, and I've been wanting to get back to it for so long! So glad I finally could.
So glad you enjoyed the update and thanks as always for the review
Date: March 01, 2024 10:24 am Title: The Third Month Part Three
Yay!
You’re back!
Yes Pam needs the fire crazy Cathy.
Meredith having a back room Lamaze class
sounds exactly like something she would do. 😂
Phyllis wanting to have a baby at her age just shows how jealous and bitter she was on the show when the younger female employees got the attention.
Stanley here is a creep like always.
Pam returning to Scranton makes me wonder if she is going to have a run-in with Roy. 🤔
Please update soon!!!
Author's Response:
I'm sorry it's been so long! I really do promise to get better at this one, the other fics are almost all done and out the way so I can crack on with this one!!
I love your reviews so much and you really nailed something right on the head here!
Next update will be soon I promise!!

Y’all will have made me call the Louvre THREE TIMES TODAY NOW. QUIT. OR FIND ME A NEW MUSEUM.
In all seriousness, I love have your writing and story has evolved. I’ve always loved it of course, but damn these past few stories you’ve like kicked it up a notch. It’s a damn shame I don’t have anymore jellies to give… but at least we can add this piece to the exhibit they have over there in that hoity toity French museum.
Author's Response:
I am so sorry you've made so many calls.
But thank you thank you thank you! You are far too kind to me. I'm so happy you're still loving this!
Date: December 29, 2023 12:54 pm Title: The Third Month Part Two
Great update as always Mrsk! Loved the nods to cannon in J&P missing each other's calls and Helene & Michael, can't wait to see how the last one plays out with your version of Helene who comes across as a battle axe! She scares me a little!
The pic on Pams phone, oh my god, I got second hand embarrassment!! Obviously that is thanks to your writing which, as always, was spectacular, making it so easy to picture everything and really live it!
Author's Response:
Thank you thank you thank you, you are far too find. Glad you enjoyed it apart from the embarrassment!!

Okay, first things first, why yes, I AM procrastinating Christmas again! (Saw this great meme BTW about people asking this time of year if you're ready for the holiday and the reply was, "No, Susan, I'm not even ready for TODAY." You know, I just felt so HEARD!!) But OMG, it's totally fine when we have an HD beardy CEO Jim's giant walk in closet with a Jam mirror reflection conversation which was soooo cute! And the little baby bump part? Loooooooooved. More of that please! And I'm also super excited to see more of what fashion Pam will be wearing as her bump gets bigger. I'm a little worried for her in this skirt--and BTW, she and Jim are totally soulmates because he totally thinks she's sad about missing her skirt and not him--he just knows her love for fashion, am I right?
Pam might need to go buy some cute and fashionable maternity clothes, but I think I NEED Mindy Kaling as Kelly to say these lines you have written because they are just soooo good and speak volumes about the dysfunction that is Kelly and Ryan and twins. OMG. Just the tension that comes up when she says 4 sentences is sooo palpable! Good lord, how is Jim going to handle Lamaze with them? Also, sweet callback to Jim's fidget necklace as Pam fidgets with it--but how is Kelly missing that rock around Pam's neck? Just saying... that's not a little diamond!!
And did this chapter include smut for smut's sake? Not smut with a purpose?? You're spoiling us! Though I was incredibly terrified that someone was going to walk in and see Pam, even if it was a janitor. I love that Jim is absolutely convinced that there is a difference between FaceTime and phone sex, too.
Love my Jo Malone NBH shout out too! I just purchased a jar of the cream at Nordstrom the other day and the salesperson must have told me no less than 3 times that she wished she could "love herself as much as" I loved myself because she'd never spend $95 on body cream. Insert rolling eyes emoji. Times 100. But also, is there any question why Jim can't keep his hands and other body parts off of Pam when she smells just so delish? Bonus points to Jam for being creative and trying a FaceTime joint shower even if the technical didn't pan out. Jim might have definitely won the better half of the bet in the Creed pitch bet with Pam because Creed is so weird and difficult to work with. And maybe on second thought Pam deserved all of her virtual Jim-assisted orgasms because an extra long weekend with Helene does not sound fun at all... oh dear.. sorry you can't drink at the moment! This was such a jam packed chapter and I loved it! (Pun intended!) So much Jam even when they weren't even in the same state! This is such an epic story and I'm never gonna beg for more but I love so much when we get new chapters of this delish, sexy, hilarious and sweet AU you've created! Much love and thanks for sharing as always!
Author's Response:
Oh I feel you Susan. Literally me with everything!
Baby bump talk was all for you my friend! Had to get that in for you! (twss) And lamaze willl be fun for sure
The smut kind of had a purpose, but in the end its all just for smut's sake really hahahha! And yeah, I couldn't do that to Pam, have someone walk in. How mortifying!!!
And of course Jo Malone for you!
Thank you as ever for your EPIC review!!!

Okay I loved all the references to the episodes in here with the missed connection calls and the 'no I just missed my girlfriend' - just love it! Helene being an absolute SNEAK there, truly such an 'oh my' moment there (but also gosh so annoying, it's laundry Helene calm down). But whoosh that ending! You were not lying when you got carried away with that. Of course he's won her over to the idea of an office bang, we see you Pam with your 'there's always next time'! Splendid work old chap, pip pip.
Author's Response:
Well aren’t you the best. Thank you greatly
Don’t worry, I won’t let myself get so carried away next time

Nice call back there from the show about the dueling voicemails. Even better considering Pam's still in New York with this one.
Wow, Helene's a bit much isn't she? Just demanding Pam give up her room because of clothes on the bed and there's no way she wasn't snooping Pam's phone. One thing I'll say is that Pam needs to learn to set some boundaries. Helen's walking all over her. Pam's not a child anymore and Helene needs to respect that.
And of course Helene and Michael are getting all goo-goo eyed over each other. I doubt it'll last very long but still.
Then Jim comes home early, with another great show reference by the way, and they can't keep themselves off each other. Very hot and descriptive. Even better that they can have some privacy considering the houseguest Pam has.
Author's Response:
Oh I’m glad you liked the voicemails! Was a little tricky to make it work. And glad you got the other reference too when Jim came home!
I had a lot of fun with Michael and Helene in this one. Hope they don’t have too much fun themselves 🫣
Thanks as always for the review!
Date: December 02, 2023 01:40 pm Title: The Third Month Part Two
You are not low key obsessed with him.
If Helene is so upset about Jim’s penis, she should return the favor and show Pam a picture of Michael’s. Seems fair.
That poor office has seen a lot of things. I wonder how it’ll fare under a black light test.
No jellybeans but here’s a picture. Of what? Of Jim’s big nose of course.
Author's Response:
I’m as low key obsessed as you are.
I’m not bringing Michael’s penis into this. Twss
Thanks for the nose. Wonder what I can do with that
Date: November 29, 2023 01:53 pm Title: The Third Month Part Two
Yay you’re back!
I’ve been really missing this story.
Helene would drive me crazy too.
Very uppity and entitled.
At least she didn’t walk in on them having sex in Pam’s office like Jim’s mom did. 😂
It was funny when you included the flirting between Helene and Michael like in canon.
I loved seeing how excited Jim was for Pam’s new client. Even though I’m not a huge Kelly fan, I do hope that she comes to her senses and dumps Ryan for good because he’s just not that into her.
Please update soon!!!
Author's Response:
I'm sorry!! I've been really hoping to get more chapters out, I really will do better next year I promise!
Glad you liked this chapter, I promise there will be more soon. Thanks so much as always for your review!

Oh my goodness thank you so much, that’s really made my day!! So happy that you’re enjoying this as I love writing it! And don’t worry, I’m still working on it, just some pesky other fics getting in the way. But there will be a new update very soon I promise

Just a filler? Oooook then.
You write their interactions with such a consistent Jam vibe - from sad-they're-about-to-be-apart to FaceTime boinks you never lose that Jim & Pam feel.
Sad times about the expensive skirt ripping - never a fun moment - but hopefully Pam comes round to the maternity wear and finds something cute and comfortable for her.
Love the ideas Pam comes up with for crazy Creed - who doesn't love a good hot dog?
(As I write this, Jim has just asked Pam out... good timing)
Seems Helene is gonna be a bit of an obstacle in Pam's mission for FaceTime sex (and painting I guess) - looking forward to seeing how this visit goes!
Author's Response:
Ah thank you!! That means so much!!
There's gonna be some fun times ahead with Helene. I promise it will be back soon...ish
Thanks so much for just being the best! And for being awesome at Office trivia, apart from that one question that I saved our butts on.
