Well that was about what I expected. I can't wait for the next chapter! I have a feeling Jim will end up sleeping with Karen, but obviously that won't happen with Pam and Roy. Actually it can only go so far since Jim and Pam have a Kid together. Though Jim doesn't know... can't wait for more!

Author's Response: The story will follow some expected paths (Jim/Karen Pam/Roy), but not really. As you can see I got tons of twists and turns here. And yes They DO have a kids together that Jim doesn't know about it YET....[insert evil laugh). Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Ah, peace. Looking forward to epilogue.

God that must have been such an earth shatterer for Jim. I can't wait to have Pam and Jim meet up again and for Jim to hold the baby he thought didn't exist.

Author's Response: You won't have to wait long for them to meet up - Next chapter. Coming soon! Thanks for reading!

Okay so Karen and Jim are defiantly going to hook up. But idk about Pam and Roy... with Jim's baby its not that simple... especially when jim returns. I sense a lot of angst coming in the future.

Serves Gerry right. He almost destroyed a potentially great family. I sense a serious loving discussion coming up. Do continue.

Author's Response: Gerry got what he deserved, right? The "serious loving discussion" is definitely coming up. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Yay! Close to fluff! I guess thats why you got roy out of the way now. Funny phone conversation too. So close, so far. Keep going!

Author's Response: Yeah... so close but so far! But we are getting extremely close to Jim realizing his dad is more ruthless than he thought. It's time for out little Jimmy to get some balls, right? Thanks for reading and reviewing!

It's interesting how Karen quickly dismisses him the first day, isn't it? Anyway, I'm liking the fast updates, I hope you continue to update this fast. Pweess :)

Author's Response: Yeah, pretty sure she didn't like him for the first few months he worked there. Silly girl. I promise I will update as fast as I can write! Which might not be much...but I promise I'll try.

Beautiful. I liked how the first time Pam tells Jim she loves him is in there. I always wish the show had the first time she said I love you to him. That would have been awesome. And yes, do sleep on it. It truly does generate creativity, no joke. Btw, what is the title of the story where Pam dies during childbirth?

Author's Response: Thank you! I wish that too, that we would have seen her first I love you, and I would love to have seen their first date too. Um, I think the story you're looking for is by jazzfan, Almost Blue http://mtt.just-once.net/fanfiction/viewstory.php?sid=5274&warning=4 It took me forever to get myself through reading it, it's absolutely heartbreaking and emotional and so well done. At any rate, I'm trying to think of another story idea... hopefully it comes to me soon. Thank you so much for sticking with me on this story, and thank you so much for the lovely reviews! :)

Kiss him Pam! Just do it! He's not going anywhere! And speaking of kissing as Michael Scott said to Dwight; K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stupid. So, thats exactly what Pam should do. I know, that was random and unrelated but I was just watching an old episode and I thought I'd mention it. Okay, so yeah it was a little hard to follow at times, but I got through it. This stories tempo and emotional range is so much different then Indigo and Crimson. Obviously because this one has a more awkward reaction between the two, while the other they can be more lovey gushy. And strangely I feel more comfortable reading the lovey gushy one. This is my point; you are great at writing both emotional states, the awkward and the love, because they both seem so real. I can literally feel the love flying off the pages, or in this case the discomfort and doubt, which explains why I feel more comfortable reading Indigo and Crimson. Thats the a little theory I worked up just know, cause I thought of it. I think this is my longest review on this site. I've got longer ones elsewhere though. Anyway, bye-bye till your next update.

Author's Response: Funny you should mention that you're more comfortable reading the lovey gushy ones, cause I had an easier time writing the lovey gushy than I did writing them before they got together. Glad you were able to follow it, I had a problem getting the groove back in there with being away from the story for so long. I enjoy your reviews so much, I have no complaints about the length! Thank you so much for the lovely compliments, I really truly appreciate it! :)

*insert shout here*

So, is the next chapter gunna be when the magic happens? As in they get together, or have 'that' conversation or something? Anyway, really liked this one. Karen moment was classical Pam... complete lack of confidence.

Author's Response: In an effort to avoid having "that" conversation, I'm taking this somewhere different. Hopefully you'll like the way it turns out! Yes, Pam's lack of confidence in season 3 is tricky, if not done right she comes out as too completely not confident and that's too much. It took me a while to get this back on track, I hope you like the way it turns out! :) Thanks for sticking with me!
