A collection of loosely-related moments (more like a bunch of one shots than a WIP. So jump in and out as you like.) Unapologetic smuff.Jim is feeling insecure and could use a little reassurance from Pam.
A oneshot in two parts.

Right after The Job aired, someone on the NBC message boards posted with regards to Jim and a potential life with Karen in New York that “Jim is not the kind of guy to do the city...he's going to be much more content to live life with Pam sitting next to him on the couch while she rocks their baby to sleep.” ~sedimentary
This statement warmed me all over and has stuck with me for a long time. I wanted to write about it.
This picks up pre-merger and is spoiler free, a bit AU as well. I began this back in October (maybe even September), and obviously the show has deviated quite a bit from what I speculated here.
This begins with angst, but there is a great deal of fluff, steam, smut, and silly...for several, several chapters. My idea was to go beyond the happy ending, so to speak.

My attempt at working it all out. This will span ten chapters and will include flashbacks to previous episodes/seasons.
It's not that Karen didn't see the signs, she just chose to ignore them...
Vignettes take place either during or close to episodes, including a post-Cocktails vignette.
There's a reason Meredith gets drunk on Valentine's Day, and it's not the obvious one. Spoilers through "Phyllis' Wedding".
