I'm out here, er, there... somewhere. I liked this chapter just as much as the first. Write more of them! Maybe the next one could be about Philip?

Author's Response: Thanks! :) I'm working on something about Philip right now, actually-- only not with the PDA theme. Hopefully I can finish that soonish

Wow. I wasn't expecting that confession. Sex sure is great at solving problems! Looking forward to more.

Lol, love the beginning. Please continue!

No matter how bad the show gets you continue to produce gold. Perhaps you disagree but I honestly think the show has gotten off track again. But thats beside the point. This was beautiful. I liked how they were off this chapter in the beginning because it always leads to a great make up scene. This was probably the best one yet. You really nailed what a guy like Jim would be like when irritated. He is the silent type that turns inward. I liked when Pam told Phillip she hopes he'll be just like this father one day. Nice touch with Jim's horrible attempt to convince Cece he wasn't mad lol. Oh and Pam calling her children Boo and Bug. Ha, adorable. And of course you can't beat some good old Jam smut. Interesting at the end how you referenced Jim's unhappiness and 'options'. It's a topic which all of us seem to struggle working into our understanding of Jim. He's an easy going guy who obviously cares more about his soul mate and kids more than anything. But we always wonder if he'll ever become more... or even wants more. The show itself has always kinda side stepped this question I think, though there are a lot of hints about it. Okay, that was cool, keep up the good work.

Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm going to have to agree with you on the show being a little off track again. I had been really loving the Tallahassee stuff, but the last few episodes haven't been my most favorite ones. I try to just pay attention to Jim and Pam and ignore whatever else is happening around them. Definitely agree with you too about Jim's character, he's not a shouter, he just holds things in. I think though, his little two year old is able to see right through him. I think kids are really perceptive. Glad you liked the nicknames, I wasn't sure if it would be a good way to go but I think every once in a while is good. I really think the show is stuck with Jim's development - they tried the manager thing, and could have done well with it, but chose to go another way, and they could have made him manager and they did the same thing. I think it would be nice to see him evolve, but at this point the only place for him to evolve is with another company, once he gets some motivation. (I promise I really do still like this show and this couple lol) I think I'll try to keep that theme going, as long as it's true to what the show's giving us. :)

Super cute. Loved the entire Skype session. Also really enjoyed the short phone conversation, haha. I just love how Pam held Jim's pillow like a Teddy Bear. I hope to see 8.16 up here asap. I mean you basically promised it, so... (BTW, little request if its not to late, make it from Jim's point of view please and don't be afraid to have his character a little on edge because of Cathy ;), oh and keep in mind its the end of week one)

Author's Response: Thanks for the tips! I didn't realize that it was only one week, but now that I've seen the layout of the rest of the episodes, it makes sense, two episodes per week. Yep, the update I just posted is from Jim's POV. After the deleted scene was up yesterday, I had to re write most of what I'd done to include it, so Jim's not totally on edge like I had made it originally. Hope you like that one too, and I'm so happy that you liked this one! I had fun writing their conversation on Skype and their phone call, and I'm happy that you liked reading it. Thanks so much for being so kind and supportive! It truly means so much to me! :)

Sorry for my recent silence. Lots to do, yah know? Anyway, I have loved every single chapter you have written here, and Love how they tie into the weekly episodes. I knew you would write a good one for "Pam's Replacement" (a good episode by the way) and you did. I love how they basically had matching thoughts. The world would be a better place if everyone had a relationship like that. It was so in character how Pam started to get rid of all the healthy food... wow, I just realized these kinds of things never would have happened if she married Roy. I think she realizes it to, and it just makes her love Jim more. Speaking of Jim, for a laid back guy he's going to have a lot on his plate. But he loves his family so it will be all good. You know what I love about FanFiction? Most of it is better then the original show/movie/book (my opinion). And yours is no exception. Anyways, Loved it all, keep it up, can't wait till next week. BTW, out of curiosity... are you male or female?

Author's Response: Thanks, I really appreciate knowing you've been enjoying these :) I'm female. I'm totally blown away by you saying that my writing is better than the original show. That will stay with me for a long time, I can't tell you in words how much it means to know that someone out there thinks the way you do. What I did find odd was that Jim is laid back like you mention, so I guess genetics coupled with some of the stress would lead him to have high blood pressure. I'm sure he's also not telling Pam every single thing he's freaking out about and wouldn't want his co workers to think that way. I'm really wishing I could go back in time and incorporate more of these things that I keep thinking of for him to stress about. But I'll leave this one alone and move on to the next later this week. Thank you so much :)

Actually I just realized I've never reviewed this story before. I'm so sorry, its just I've reviewed several other stories on MTT, and could keep track of which one. Please forgive me. But believe me when I say, that I have been reading since the beginning and have loved all your chapters. I'll try to review next time too. :)

Author's Response: Thank you so much for taking the time to review, it really means so much to know you're liking these. I'm trying to keep them fresh and new, so hopefully the weekly updates will continue to be enjoyable to you! :) Thank you!

Another great chapter. I liked all the kid interaction in this one. A christmas bonus chapter would be nice ;).

Author's Response: Thank you very much. I'm super worried about the kid interaction so it's really great to see that you thought it was good. And thanks so much for the lovely compliment on the chapter. I'm happy you enjoyed it. I'm thinking out the Christmas chapter now so hopefully it'll be ready in a day or two. Thanks for the review, it's really very much appreciated! Happy Holidays! xx

I was wondering why no smutt at the end there, thanks for answering. I love how CeCe was so, loving I guess as she constantly pestered Jim. I also thought it was cool that we got to see her more of her 'no' phase. You did good with this chapter, showing how Jim quickly fell back into the normal routine. Obviously that takes a devoted father and husband to willingly do that while NOT cheating after being on a three week 'vacation'. Actually the last episode was boring in my opinion, but thats okay we have you to make up for it. :) Speaking of which I wonder if the Kathy plot will go anywhere now that they're back. Its up to the writers I guess. I hope they give it one last breath of air because one, it would make sense and two, it gives you more cake batter to work with lol. Well, hoping tonights episode will better, bye, till next we talk.

Author's Response: Glad you thought that Jim jumping right back into daddy duty was believable, he just seems like the type that would do that no matter how tired he would be from traveling. I have way too much fun writing Cece, it makes me happy to see that you like seeing her! It's tough, some people just don't like this time frame of the show and prefer stories without kids. I haven't been super happy with the last few episodes, so I'm hoping that it gets better when they come back from break. Thanks so much for taking the time to review, I really appreciate it and I'm enjoying chatting with you! :)

Great "ending" to a great series. BUT COME ON! Did you SEE the ending of the 2/9/12 episode Special Project?!? There's your new material to continue this right there! You have to do SOMETHING about this new Cathy thing. This may be the last interesting thing thats going to happen to Jim and Pam's relationship! It's golden material. Heck if people don't start drooling over this soon, I may be force to write something!

Author's Response: OK! I removed the end note on this chapter and just posted an update lol I'm really happy that you liked the chapter. I can't even begin to tell you how this review of yours made me smile. Thanks for pushing me to continue. And I hope you do write something! Go for it! :) Thanks so so much.

That was great! Thanks for the entertainment!
