As always, well worth the wait! I’m so glad that Pam got a deal on her leather pants… 60% off!!

Your dialogue was fantastic! Could totally hear Robert California and Jo Bennett in my head as I read this chapter! Loved the callback to Grace, and to jelly beans!

I had a feeling Michael Scott would turn up as a doctor, and it’s cracking me up that he might be the least crazy of the three! How creepy was California?!?! Though he did give Jim a solid answer on pregnant sex…. And so will Google!

Also loved Kelly comforting Pam— but not too much as she claims she can wear the leather pants better!

Fantastic, really fun, and loved so much!! Great work!!

Author's Response:

Ah thank you so so much!! I'm so happy you enjoyed this!

Yeah I think Michael is definitely going to end up as the best doctor here...somehow!

Thanks so much for the review! 

Loved the eyebrow smirk Pam gave to Kelly about Kelly being able to keep secrets. Though eventually the secret will get out and I'm sure there will be the squeals from Kelly and judgement from Angela. Kinda looking forward to seeing how/if Pam puts Angela in her place about this latest pregnancy. Angela has been rather cutting in this fic and I'm very interested to see how Pam handles that when it's directed at her. Especially since Pam is after all the boss and Angela does respect a chain of command. Could be a fun dynamic to explore.

Good voices for Robert and Jolene. The first overly cringey and the second overly presumptive of well everything. I'm with Pam, they're the best? Wow. Though seeing Dunder-Mifflin Hospital was a fun treat. And thus enters Michael. Michael. Michael Gary Scott. As an OBG-YN. I mean, what else does one say about that? I think there's only one thing for it really, forward into the breach and let the chips fall where they may. Though I can also see the best version of Michael being really good here too. Nice work as always.

Author's Response:

There will be lots of Pam/Angela/Kelly to come, don't want to spoil anything for you!

And of course, we're only getting started at DMH - hopefully we're in for a lot of fun!

Thanks so much for the review! 

I think you’ve just scarred me for life with the orgasmic birth thing. Very Robert California though. Otherwise another very good, very entertaining chapter!

Author's Response:

I'm so very sorry!!

Thanks so much for the kind words :) glad you enjoyed it!! 

These last two chapters were really great, and funny.
It’s nice to see Jim so excited about being a dad so early into their relationship. Most men would be
freaking out like Ryan is. Then again unlike Kelly,
Pam didn’t get pregnant to trap Jim.
However, it would not surprise if some people
accuse Pam of doing that very thing, like Jim’s dad.
I like how Jim and Pam tried to work things out about Jim being gone for those months.
Kelly is driving me crazy. I don’t know how Pam puts up with her. Just getting a break from Kelly would be enough for me to what to leave with Jim for months, if I were Pam. Pam teasing Jim about being called daddy reminds me of Ross and Phoebe on Friends.
I admit that I am curious about what’s coming up with Cathy and Karen because they’ve been pretty quiet lately.

Author's Response:

Ah thank you so much!

Yes Jim is definitely looking forward to this baby! I think it helps that he's so besotted with Pam, whereas Ryan, not so much with Kelly. We'll see what Jim's dad has to say soon about this, don't you worry! 

Lots more to come about their impending move as well! And more with Cathy and Karen as well!

Thanks for the review! 

I like how Pam’s freaking out that it might not happen given her past experience with pregnancy. And then her not wanting Jim to propose to her because of Roy. That was a bummer, although I’m betting Jim does it anyway because, you know… love.

And then the confirmation that she’s actually pregnant. I love that even Jim is crying. He wants this badly with Pam. Suck it, Karen.

Nice Alfredo’s reference there. Kelly is so annoyingly amazing, I love it.

“He took a breath and slowly, shakily exhaled, the enormity of the situation hitting him. He was going to be a father.“ — someone’s definitely cutting onions here.

"I was just thinking. I'm going to be a daddy," he smiled. — You walked right into that one, Jim.

Okay, the last part I find somewhat accurate and funny. Pretty sure most guys don’t know how pregnancy works so… I find Jim’s cautiousness kinda normal here.

I don’t know how you get to update so fast but I’m not complaining. Great job!

Author's Response:

Ah thank you so much for the review! I'm so happy you're enjoying it so much!

Glad you liked the Alfredo reference, that one made me chuckle.

Yeah Pam not wanting Jim to propose definitely would have stung Jim a little. Who knows what's up his sleeve though?? Oh right, I do haha!

Hope to get the next update for you up asap as possible! 

Thanks for the update! I am really enjoying the story.

Author's Response: Thank you so much!! Glad you're enjoying it so much :)

Certainly entertaining. Remembering vividly impregnation x

Author's Response: Just don't penetrate it

Yay!! You're back! (Although this means I've procrastinated with my fic long enough for you to be finished with yours even though you took a break *suddenly has a crisis*)

Jim willing to give it all up for Pam and Pam refusing to let him is so, so them. Well, end of Season 9 them but still. It's great to see them really properly communicating and it's always nice to see Jim getting frazzled (we all know he hates that word)

"However, seeing as this is not a marriage, and is based on fornication," -- Lol. Although, to be fair to her, has a day gone by when they weren't having sex?

"No thank you," Angela replied curtly. "Veteran's day is for remembrance not sports games." ---- Ugh, Angela, You just denied us a Dwight appearance.

The ending is just amazing! I just hope Pam doesn't think he's proposing because he got her pregnant.

I'm out of jellybeans so have a hotdog on me. (That's what she said?)

Author's Response:

And I am back!! I wasn’t really gone too long, but please please write your next chapter!!! I wanna know what happens!!

Jim does indeed hate to be frazzled but I think he’s going to be in Future chapters 😬 But also yeah, I like to fix things as I go along with this, so I didn’t want Jim to have to give up anything and for Pam to want to join him with his work. And don’t worry, I think Jim will be returning the favour too 😬

And true, they have been going at it like rabbits, but it’s been needed! How else was Jim going to realise??

Dont you worry, Dwight is heading out way very soon!

So glad you liked the ending! That’s been a long time coming for me, so glad I finally got to write it!!

Thank you muchly for your hot dog!  

Ok so yeah I've been looking forward to this chapter. Starting out, I really like that Pam is on board with heading off with Jim. Clearly they both realize they have something special in this relationship and want to do everything they can to keep it going. The use of the canon lines from Jim saying what's important were a great way to cement that in.

I also really love that Pam is growing more into her CEO role. Starting to delegate things, telling Angela to back off when she's getting to snippy, trying to reel in Kelly. Lots of good movement there.

As a lifelong Red Sox fan I just have to say this, the Yankees? Really? Ah well, they are in New York after all.

And there's Ethan and Steve. Hooray! Nice job with that scene. Very glad I could help out. Now of course there's probable confirmation of Pam's pregnancy. Really looking forward to seeing how that will effect they dynamics they've already built up. As always, can't wait for more.

Author's Response:

Ah thank you so much! I’m glad it didn’t disappoint!!

I’m glad you picked up on those canon lines. I wanted to make them support each in their jobs, but obviously put the relationship first. We’ve got more on this particular area to come!!

Also lots more on Pam in her CEO role to come. You’ve picked up on some key bits in this chapter!!

Sorry about the Yankees, to be fair, I’ve no idea what I was writing about here. Spent a lot of time googling baseball!

Thank you again for lending me Ethan and Steve! And thank you for your help! 

Now we’ve finally got there, the rest of the story can commence!!

Thanks so much for the review!!! 

Wowza. Ordinary-things Mommy’s? Brilliant.

Author's Response: Thanks baby

Loved this as always! Even though it’s a cliffhanger, I love that they have confessed their love, especially using the great canon lines. I’m still intrigued about Pam’s cluster of “symptoms”… but I feel better about it knowing they both are seriously committed to this relationship and each other.

Jim’s work travel came out of left field, but these two can handle anything! The fall outfits were super cozy too, setting the scene!

Packer was so cringeworthy— can’t wait to see where the rest of the characters fit in! And the story of Penny was so sweet— love JAM connecting and sharing their past.

As always, fantastic work! I anxiously await the next chapter!

Author's Response:

Glad this chapter didn’t disappoint!!

Apologies for the cliffhanger! I promise I’ll update as soon as I can but it will be a little while!

And yes! Definitely wanted them committed to each other even though it’s not been that long that they’ve been together, which is kinda why these chapters have just been going on a bit more than I expected them to!

Glad you liked all the fall stuff, was a lot of fun to research all of it. Boy do I wish I could spend some time in Pound Ridge!

Lots more of your favourites coming soon, won’t be too long until we meet them!

Thanks so much for the review!!

I can’t believe you’d leave me on a cliffhanger like that. How could you do this to me???? I loved it as always, though.

Author's Response:

Hehehe 🤭 

Thanks so much! So happy you’re liking it!!
