Well, good morning, Jim Halpert. Bwahahaha. Now that's a cliffhanger ending for sure.
Seriously though, I loved the way you described Jim waking up and realizing Pam was curled up around him. Nicely done.
I don't see any way for them to avoid talking about what they need to talk about now - anxiously awaiting the next chapter.

Author's Response: Thanks for reading and stay tuned...with these two, you never know.

OMG, you big meanie. Here I thought they'd finally get er...talking. I loved the way you wrote the wrestling scene - playful then serious. But Jim need to grow a pair. It's Booze Cruise all over again.

Author's Response: What can I say....it's Jim and Pam and you know...things are complicated!

Dear Mr. Bill. This is a novella, not a story. You weren't lying when you said you'd been working on this for awhile, were you? I'm just happy Jim has finally made a phone call and I can't wait to "see" Pam's picture.

Author's Response: Well, I did say at the very beginning that it was a long story...and yes, it took some time to write.  But I'm pretty confident  that things are on thier way to being worked out.  I just appreciate your sticking with it as I spin my tale.

This is exactly the way it happened that week. I'll try not to repeat all the things that have been said that I agree with, but I loved this story as much as Karen wanted to keep Jim. *grin* The characterizations were spot on, Karen's aggresive desperation and Jim's inertia while he processed what Pam had said. I especially loved how seamlessly it fit with canon with things like: " No kidding. I’ll be famous" setting the stage for the yogurt lid. Just plain awesome.

Author's Response: Thanks, jazzfan! This particular week has been the subject of such speculation and differing opinion. I\'m glad to see that my view of how things might have happened resonates with so many of you. I\'m glad you liked it! Thanks for letting me know. :)

I love backstories and this is a good one. Nice job. Probably not indeed.

I really can't imagine what these two have in mind. *bats eyelashes innocently*

Author's Response: Riiiiight...I\'m sure you can\'t, jazzfan ;o) That innocent act isn\'t foolin\' anyone :P

Weeeelll, I tried to review this last night but a big storm came through and just as I hit submit and I lost connection. (dang satellite) Anyway, I don't see that it's here so I'm trying again.
This is so very sweet, and this is one of the best Halpert lines I've seen written in a good while: He held up his hand. “I've got Greenpeace on speed dial, so no worries.” Also loved the "assistant to the pregnant person."
I couldn't help but think as I was reading the prep: gosh Jim, you should have painted the nursery before now. What a slacker!
Looking forward to the next installment

Author's Response:

Ha ha.  He's got 5 more weeks!  If it took him years to tell Pam that he loved her, I can imagine him being a little behind on the nursery.

Thanks a bunch for reading and reviewing :)

Very cute about the sex mixup, guess the little guy was shy...but Pam, Pam, Pam. Epidurals are your friend. Here's to the real baby Tuna tonight!

Author's Response:

Yes, I can't wait to see that adorable little tin o' tuna!

The fear of epidurals is from my experience, too.  I was so young and innocent.  By my second baby I smartened up!

Thanks for your review!

Argh, this is such an honest depiction of how it must have been for Pam. I wanted to give her a little hug and tell her it's going to be okay, and that yes, she did the right thing. I also like the way you wrote Roy. He wasn't an ogre - he was just clueless - up to the very end, as you point out. Such a quiet, truthful story.
