You just left me an incredibly sweet review, so I feel like a terrible person for having read this chapter and not reviewed it yet!

I love Pam in this, where she's all giddy to have Jim as her boyfriend. It reminds me of that adorable deleted scene in season 4 where they're both giving those giddy talking heads and blushing and chattering. It's so perfect. And the ending - just lovely. There aren't enough awesome adjectives to describe it. Can't wait to see what comes next. :)

Author's Response: Hey, Oldleaf! Don't feel terrible, I barely review myself, so I can't complain. :) Thanks for the awesome review, glad that Pam's giddiness comes through well. I kinda love the fact that she's in the 'wait is this really happening' phase. It's a fun place to write. I'm pretty sure I'll be getting these out on a more regular basis so I hope you enjoy the rest of the ride. Thanks again for taking a second to review, really appreciate it! :)

Aww no, I can't wait until January! *is greedy* This story is just so incredibly addictive and I'm so ready for what comes next. :)

Author's Response: Sorry, it's February, a little late. Hope you still like it and thanks so much for the review!! :)

Loved it! I'm dorkily excited to see how you parallel Company Picnic.

Author's Response: Thanks, Oldleaf! Do you mean Niagara, though? I did Company Picnic in the last chapter. We're up to the wedding episode now. ;)

So, when are we going to learn that this has all just been a bad dream Jim is having and he'll wake up and Pam is right there and okay?

Seriously, so intense. But exactly how I'd see this happening, because let's face it, Pam really is everything to Jim.

Have I seriously not reviewed this, like for serious? I guess I was just patiently awaiting the smut. ;)

Oldleaf likes. Oldleaf likes a lot.

Author's Response: Smut is coming. I thought this chapter was already long enough, but it's coming, TRUST :) Thanks for being an awesome beta <3

YAY! It's back! So excited! And I absolutely adored crying Pam haha. So funny / adorable. Can't wait for more! :D

Author's Response: Hey, Oldleaf! I was a bit nervous, adding a new chapter after a lengthy hiatus, so I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for your continued support and encouragement.

Glad Claire's warming up to Pam :)

Author's Response: thanks oldleaf!

Just wanted to throw in a hope that you'll update this soon. I'm so into it!

Your characterization is so spot-on. I could easily picture all of this. Love everyone injecting their own little comment. "Birth control, man" = LOL! Poor Pam. And Jim. This was just a perfect update. Looking forward to more!

Aw, I loved this.

When she turned 7, her parents surprised her with her very first art set. It came with paintbrushes, watercolors, and endless dreams and possibilities.

Such a lovely description.

And this is so beautiful:
When she turned 30, Jim brought her breakfast in bed. As she snuggled up beside him, nibbling on her homemade French toast, baby Cecelia sleeping peacefully in between them, she couldn’t imagine that life could get any better than this.

Made me feel all warm inside :D

I randomly decided to re-read this, and realized I don't think I've left a review. This story is so amazing, because while it's intense subject matter, it also feels like a display of the importance of loving your loved ones in the moment, which is Pam's motto at this point in the story. I really hope that Jim survives - I already cried reading just this chapter, I can't imagine how hard I'll sob if he were to not make it! I also think it would be unique to have a tragic story not end tragically, if that makes sense. I look forward to seeing what you do regardless and anxiously anticipate an update!
