Learning to Love Again by Dedeen Rated: T [Reviews - 149] 52
Summary: "Like all Mondays, they took separate cars because Pam had her art class across town after work. Like all Mondays, Pam dropped the kids off at Jim’s parent’s house in the morning and he picked them up in the evening. But today was not a regular Monday—as Jim would soon discover." After an unexpected occurrence, Pam finds herself falling in love with her husband, Jim, all over again.

Date: June 27, 2009 Title: Chapter 2: Beesly—I call you that sometimes

Loved the movie 50 First Dates and love the idea here. The line about him calling her Beesley, was wonderful and a little heartbreaking. Are you going to have Pam relearn everything or will her memory be triggered a couple of times to bring back the good stuff? I can't wait to learn more about the kids, please right more soon!

Author's Response: \r\nThe Beesly idea was one of my first because it\'s second nature to Jim and it\'s also his affectionate way to refer to her. With Pam remembering.. as I mentioned before, things here and there will trigger her memory... As to what\'s going to happen after.. You\'ll have to wait and see! I\'m sure you won\'t be disappointed! Don\'t worry about learning more about the kids because I\'m a sucker for Jam\r\nbabies! I love them! SO EXCITED FOR SEPTEMBER!! There will be alot about them...\r\nThanks for reading!

Ellie dancing on her Dad shoes was so sweet!! I remember when my Dad did that with me and I loved it. You know I never realized how comical JAM's story sounds. When you watch the story play out, it just seems nomal, when you try and recap it... well I'm just glad Pam saw the funny side right away. Again, you write the best last lines, I had a Awww moment just reading this one.
P.S What was the snippet?

Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading. The image of Ellie dancing on Jim's shoes was one of the first scenes, including Jim dancing with Pam, I had planned for this chapter. I also remember dancing with my dad too!! JAM's story IS very comical. Writing made me think about ALL they went through. Kind of made me appreciate the weddign episode much, much more. And I had to make Pam see the funny side of it. I couldn't write her angry, they are together now, right? The snippet is the last line of the chapter where Pam whispers "I Love you" into his heart for safe-keeping.

Oh I have not reviewed in forever. Bad, bad, cacw. Okay back to the story, You've done a great job showing Pam's, feelings with out saying anything directly. Like when she's enjoying the tea that Jim stocked. It really seemed to me, like we caught a glimpse of Pam, still not being sure that it's her life, that she has the right to be a part of it. I love how she's getting these little bits and pieces back, it's sad to think that she can't remember all the moments we love so well. Ellie and Ben are as cute as ever, it's great that Pam knew just how to handle Ellie's clothes and poor Ben can now take a calm bath. Loved that Pam is now falling for Jim, and that last line? So perfect. Jim maybe a great guy and all, but come on, he's still human!

Author's Response: I'm glad you are liking the story, and thanks for reviewing! =) A little spolier, Pam will begin to remeber the little moments. And I know Jim is human, but it's just soo awesome writing him a little on the perfect side! =)

The pace of the story feels right to me. After all nothing in Jim and Pam's story has ever been easy. As much fun as fluff is, reading too much of it can be like a sugar high. This chapter is one of the bits of real life, that provides the balence that a great story requires. And Pam's reaction makes perfect sense, losing a child your responsible for is scary beyond all reason. But I think it might be good for her, anyone who takes care of children feels like they don't know what their doing at times. I'm hoping since this incident and Jim's reaction will let her realize that and move on to enjoying her wonderful family. Sorry this is so long, I get way to into these stories :)

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked the chapter. I want to make this feel a bit real, and I'm glad that you couldd seen this being a real life event. Incidednts like this one makes both Jim and specially Pam, need each other. Now... we can move one to more fun stuff! Thanks for reading and reviewing...

Date: July 17, 2009 Title: Chapter 4: That's who you are

Love that the JAM banter is still in place, and that Pam finally sees her own talent. It haden't hit me until this chapter that Pam dosen't know the story behind the relationship. Will she find out the truth, maybe through the documentary, or Michael? Can't wait to see the next chapter :)
P.S JK, JF, and the Office writers were all robbed. How they could not nominate JK for the ending to Company Picnic alone, is beyond me.

Author's Response: I wasn\'t sure about the JAM banter, I thought it might not be believable. But, since Pam had gotten to know Jim within the time she was in the hospital, they would definitely fall into the normal banter. My spoiler for the \"Will she find out the truth,\" is that Pam needs to know and learn as much as possible because in my non-medical world it will help her remember. Now, how she will learn the truth and all it\'s awesome details... keep reading! (A tease, I know). Thanks for reading! \r\n\r\nThe Emmy thing... wow! I don\'t even want to get started on that. Just... wow! I don\'t want to be biased because I absolutely love this show, but The Office writers are incredible... and no nomination, it\'s beyong me! \r\n\r\n

Ellie and Ben are adorable, I hope we'll see lots more of them as Pam recovers. I love that the 'connection' between Jim and Pam is still in place, despite everything. Can't wait to read more!

Author's Response: Trust me, there will be lots of Ellie and Ben... I don\'t have my own babies, so they are it for me! (Yes, I\'ve lost it!) But, I\'m enjoying writing this and having Jim and Pam fall in love again! Thanks for reading, I hope to update soon enough!

Yeah-she remembers! I was squealing so loud when Pam said “Absolutely I do.” And then Jim picking her up and swinging her around? Soooo cute! I need to go read some angst to calm down now :) Please, please, please continue!

Author's Response: I\'m glad you liked it. I wanted her to remember something small, to at least give poor Jim a little hope, and that just seemed to fit, and it is also such a staple phrase to the show. Trust me, there will be more chapters to come (I hope I didn\'t scare my Betas!), and season six is still a good month from now, so I have to get my Office fix here! Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

So Perfect! Some of my friends complained that Pam leaving graphic design was a step back in her "Fancy New Beesley life" I knew they weren't right, but just couldn't explain it until I read your story. Can't wait to hear more from you!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I had the same problem, even as I was watching the episode. I knew that it wasn\'t a step back for her, and that\'s when I knew I needed to write something to figure out exactly how, hehe. Anyway, thank you very much!

“I wish I could have been there with you.”
Wow,just Wow. I would have loved to see Jim give that line, with Karen right at his side. It would have been a very interesting scene! A nice bit of cliffhanger as well. Will there be a fluffy ending for our favorite duo?

Author's Response: Thank you!!! \r\nYes, eventually there will be a (very) fluffy ending, but more angst first! I\'m working on the next chapter as we speak! :)

Started reading then realized it's a series and went back to read the other parts, can't believe I haven't seen any of the updates before! Don't worry about the characters, you have them down perfectly, especially poor Toby :) Can't wait to read the end.

Author's Response: Thank you :) Toby\'s always been one of my faves, I always feel so bad for him, especially when Michael is being a raging jerk. He\'s fun to write but still sad at the same time, lol.

Any time you add Dwight, a chapter is great. The fact that even Dwight and Kevin can see that Jim and Pam should be together, should say something to Jim.

Date: September 22, 2009 Title: Chapter 6: We tried but that's all we can say

I wouldn't regret it. Okay maybe the ending wasn't what you intended, but this a great piece of work. It's better to end the story on a realistic note (with GREAT writing by the way), then to try for a forced, fluffy ending. I'll keep an eye out for that epilouge, but in the meantime, this will be one of the very few angst pieces that I'll come back to reread.

Author's Response: Wow!! Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment! I'm so honored!!

Wow-intense chapter, not sure how the happy ending will come into play after this. But with your level of writing so far, I'm sure it'll be good.

Author's Response: Thank you very, very much! I\'m working on the next chapter and the happy ending still seems distant, but it will work! Thanks again! It\'s much appreciated!

To quote Kelly, OMG you should not have left us like that. On some level I do like a bit of Angst, but Jim at Pam's wedding? I was tearing up a bit toward the end, when he realizes how things will change in their friendship. But it seems so real when your reading it. Please keep up the good work.

Author's Response: Thank you so, so much! I love writing angst and I figured that the best place for angst would be at her wedding! Don\'t worry - the ending will make up for all of the angst! Thanks again! I really appreciate your comment!

Date: June 30, 2009 Title: Chapter 1: All the wrong things on fire

I went back and forth after seeing the summary on wether to read this, because I didn't know if I could even stand to read about Pam marrying Roy. But you've summed up Jim perfectly, he would go to her wedding, because no matter what happens, he's her best friend.

Author's Response: Thank you! I know how you feel - I had trouble writing it! There are more chapters coming, and I promise that you will be happy with the ending. :) Thanks again!

Date: July 09, 2009 Title: Chapter 3: I, Jim, take you, guilt, to be my new companion

Okay that was incredible chapter,but I thought it was going to have a Jim-protesting-and-wedding-not-happening ending. (Jim feels guilty over ruining Pam's wedding thing) This story is kind of like watching "The Office". You don't know where it's going, but you trust the writers will have it turn out well. Please send the next chapter along quickly!

Author's Response: Thank you! I actually thought that is how it would work, but that\'s not very realistic! I seriously doubt that Pam would end her wedding, right in the middle, for him, let alone anyone, especially after years of planning. This being said, I wanted to give it another twist, which you will find out about shortly. I\'m working on chapter 4 now, and there will be at least one more chapter after, probably two. Thanks again for the lovely comment!

Just when you think it's impossible to be anymore in love with Jim Halpert, someone writes a backstory like this. It's probably a little crazy to care about fictional people,but at least I'm among other crazy people on this site:) I was going to say the bit about avoiding football is exactly how Jim's mind works, but the whole thing is so completely in character. Any chance your planning to do the whole office?

Author's Response: Thank you! I was worried the football part made him sound too bitter, so I\'m glad you thought it was in character! I am definitely going to do the entire office :)
