I adore how inside Jim's mind this is! You did an amazing job capturing, not only, the nervousness of Jim, but also the feelings Pam's parents had when he came by the house, unannounced and without thier daughter. They knew what was coming, and I loved how Helene knew the boy needed a drink and Will, while recognizing that he has an adult daughter, remained a protective dad.

I loved the opening sentence, it made me wonder if, once back at home with Pam, the rest of the evening could be captured in another story of yours that I love...

Author's Response: My original thought was for a one-shot, but if the muse bites (do muses bite?) I'd be open to adding another chapter.

Oh, kids, kids, kids! You are only making it more difficult for yourselves! What is gonna happen, Pam, when you can no longer hide the fact that you are incubating a little person who shares half of his or her DNA with your new boss? How is Jim gonna explain to his girlfriend that the dinner he had with Pam didn't really end until the next morning, and he did a really great job taking care of her loneliness?

I think that Pam needs some time with her best friend ASAP! I love the way you've been writing Pam's support system of friends and family and hope that soon you'll let us in on thier take on these new developments.

I am so on the edge of my seat for when Jim finds out about the baby! I wonder, will he be angry with Pam for taking so long to let him know? What will happen with his relationship with Karen?

Author's Response: Hey, thanks so much for taking the time to review, I really appreciate it! Yeah, it's some pickle they've gotten themselves into and Pam won't be able to hide the pregnancy much longer. So glad you're enjoying it, more soon!

I don't think there is any way you could make me a bigger fan of Isabelle. Even if she does find Dwight appealing, she is such a rock star friend. Love her response when she figured out who Jim was. You really gave Pam an awesome support system here.

Oh Kelly, so wrong, and so nice of you to share your wrong with your break room buddies. I kept thinking, when Danny finds out he is Pam's baby's dad, that is gonna be fun for noone.

I could just imagine Karen's ears perking up when Kelly mentioned overhearing that the father worked with them. And when Phyllis was talking about the speculation of a conference hookup, she was likely on full alert. I feel like the all night, let's discuss the relationship conversations for Jim are very near.

Jim! Push Pam to tell you what you already maybe know already, already!

More please.

Author's Response: Aww, thanks! I'm so glad you like Isabelle because since she's barely a character on the show, she runs the risk of becoming a Mary Sue Original Character--which I personally hate in fics, so I try to use her sparingly. But I do like that Pam has a support system and it's hard to believe that Pam literally had no one during season three, so I gave her Isabelle. Oh, Kelly, Kelly, that was fun to write. I kinda love using her as a foil for things. Um, not sure Danny's going to find out but lets say when word gets out to the rest of the office, it may not go over swimmingly. Yeah, Karen, subconsciously knows something's up with her relationship and is extra sensitive to anything that could possibly be relating to Jim. I, too, think that Jim's going to have a bumpy ride soon. Jim's gonna know soon! I promise! ;) Thanks for the review!!

I just wanted to say that I am really enjoying this story. I am eagerly awaiting what happens when Jim and Pam are in the same room again. And what is gonna happen when Jim realizes that the one night they spent means he is gonna be Pam's baby's dad.

And poor Karen and all, but this is gonna get ugly for her and I think she should hit up NYC as soon as possible!

Author's Response: I know, I'm so glad you feel something for Karen, because she really does have the short end of the stick here. I didn't want to make her super evil villain Karen, just a girl just a girl who liked the wrong guy. I hope she gets off to NYC soon, too. Thanks for the review!!

You continue to make me feel so sad for all three of them!

I liked the start of this chapter. Karen, revealing her unease in the new environment. Jim, showed such affection for her, despite the fact that he has some feeling, at times, that maybe she isn't theOne.

Poor Pam. Those coworkers were awful to her! I did like that Jim and Karen were really good to her and tried to make her feel better.
I liked how you wrote Jim's panic! I cannot wait until they do talk and she reveals that yep, gonna be a dad, Jim. I hope when they do talk, Pam tells him what she told her sister and Isabelle, that she wants him, cuz I have a feeling he wants her also....

Author's Response: I'm sorry that I made you sad. I'm even sorrier that it's going to get worse before it gets better. I'm glad you liked Karen, I really wanted to humanize her in this story. Yeah, Jim's panic was fun, I kinda loved writing that whole scene. I wish the both of them would become honest with each other and themselves. But it may be a while. Thanks so much for the review, I really appreciate it!!

Do you pinky swear that we are getting closer? That soon each chapter won't continue to leave me feeling so sad for Jim and Pam. I just want them to be a happy family. Soon, please.

But I think you are doing a good job making me feel thier angst. I'm enjoying feeling the pain with them.

Author's Response: Lol, I pinky swear. ;) Angst can be fun but, you know, if it goes on too long, it feels contrived. Thanks for the review!

I'm so glad that you are back! I was wondering where you'd run off to, I hope you had a fun time playing outside over the weekend!

I love the way you're showing Pam and Jim in this new relationship, learning to stay open with each other as well as preparing for upcoming parenthood. Pam's confidence makes me happy, so much of the time Jim is portrayed as the sure one, it is nice to see Pam so sure.

Good job, I look forward to what is coming up next for this growing family.

Author's Response: Thanks so much!! I did have a nice time playing outside. Glad its finally spring again. lol Yeah, I'm so glad to have written Pam being there for Jim. I agree, there are way too many fics that are vice versa and I don't think it gets explored a lot, so it was nice to write it. Thanks so much for you kind words, I very much appreciate them. :)

I am so sad it is almost finished...

But your mash up made me all kinds of happy. I enjoyed that Pam's note was the first sonogram that she had of their daughter. How awesome was it that she shared what that first picture meant to her.

I loved the moments you gave us in the flashbacks. I gotta say, in the entire story, the flashbacks have been my most favorite part. In my mind, I think I heard tv/movie harp flashback music whenever I saw those italics.

Okay, if it must be finished... I know the epilogue will be as amazing as the rest of this story was.

Author's Response: Aww, I'm so happy you enjoyed the mash up, it was a lot of fun to write. Yeah, I had from a very early draft knew that the sonogram would be the catalyst for Jim in his interview, so I'm glad you enjoyed that. You know, the flashbacks were all magic to write. I'll admit I struggled through somethings, but the fbs just seemed to work. I'm so grateful for your kind works, thanks so much for the review!!

I will say, I am in no way ashamed to confess my affection for Katy Perry songs. So I happily hummed away while reading this amazing story. Thanks for the soundtrack.

Umm, this story is blazingly HOT! Jim as a runner was awesome. I may have made a wish that I was lagging behind watching him run in black shorts. Yum. And whiny, exhausted, running Pam was so amusing! And when they returned to thier house and Jim licked the sweat off his wife's neck, I think I died.

And I do think this would've worked nicely into NIGHT, but seriously, Ivy, I'm happy to read whatever you write, however you decide to post. I just get super happy whenever your name is at the top of Most Recent. So if you want to post thirty stories in a series, I'll happily read each one. Or, if you prefer to post thirty chapters in a story, I'm excited to read that also. So, the moral of this, just keep writing and I'm happy to read whatever you decide to allow us to read.

I'm so nervous for them! The fact that Jim's stay in Scranton has an end date as well as the fact that, if people find out about the sneaky relationship he is having with Pam, he could lose his job. And while that may help take care of the end date problem, I'd be sad if it ended that way.

I'm happy they are having a good time together, but I do hope they are being safe!

I love the middle of the night phone call. I loved how Pam was walking the line, sometimes being brave and saying what was on her mind. Jim was so perfect, too his mind turning everything Pam said into something about sex. Funny.

More today!?! Pinky swear?

Author's Response: Oh Aivilo, I've been diligently typing away all day, and yet I've hit a block. But I promise to work on it through the night. Sigh.

Well, first, gotta confess, Learning is absolutely one of my favorite stories! It's amazing!

Next, {please insert my squeal of excitement here}, I love this story as well! You are doing such a wonderful job pacing this. Brave, but not too brave, Pam is awesome. And Jim, I really want to be a professional, but not too much, because I really do have a crush on you, is so adorable. I like that Pam's workmates Dwight and Ryan have already picked up on the buddy vibe between them also. Apparently, Jim's colleagues have also sensed Jim's affection for the receptionist also. I hope no one gets into too much trouble.

I cannot wait for the more fun stuff and of course, the more flirting you've promised!

Author's Response: Thanks Aivilo! :D That makes me so happy that you love both stories! You characterized perfectly what I was going with for Jim and Pam. I will try to update very soon.
