Oh I loved that.  Such excellent characterization. Just exactly what I think Jim would have been thinking at the end of that day. You get the Fine Work Dundie for sure.

Everything about that was perfect.  From the fun of that "that's my boyfriend" exchange that reminded me so much of ("is the magic over?" scene from season 4) to the tinge of angst in those photos they had of one another.  Most of all I loved how hopeful this all was...and your ending was all kinds of awesome.

Author's Response: Thanks LoveFool! I had fun with that exchange, but then I just about cut it all out and did it completely differently. And I love me some angst. May have to go wallow in it soon. ;) I\'m glad you liked this, thanks so much for letting me know!

Oh this is blissfully romantic. I love the time you took with this chapter, things didn't feel rushed at all.  You just let them savor one another and threw in that little bit of tension with him leaving...ugh, loved it.  Can't wait for the next. 

Author's Response: I\'m glad it didn\'t feel rushed, thanks for saying that! That is always, always one of the hardest things to do, because when you\'re typing out a chapter, of course it doesn\'t feel rushed to you when it takes you hours to write it... Even with my read-through before I post it, I read it too fast so who knows. But, anyway, yeah glad you said that, haha. Thanks for the review. =)

LOL. Is that supposed to be up for interpretation? If so...I'm going with "yes" meaning PREGNANT. ;-) Because that's what I want for them...whether it makes sense or not. haha!  Thanks so much for this story. It was GREAT. I thought your Jim and Pam here were totally and completely realistic. 

Author's Response: You & your review will have a cameo in the a/n of the next chapter, LoveFool! Thanks for the nice review. =)

That was both adorable and sexy as hell. I think the choices you made here were spot on and believable.  First off, you managed to do something that few can do -- and that's keep Jim and Pam, Jim and Pam even when they're having uber hot sex.  They're still saying things Jim and Pam would say.  Also, the backstory you've built for Pam here is completely believable. 

This story is a lot of fun! I can't wait for the next installment!

You know I'm already loving this and that I kind of feel like I'm cheating on Jim with his son...but oh well. ;-) This is great stuff. I love how I get a little bit of their backstory each time...I'm eager to fit all the puzzle pieces together. It's a pleasure being your beta!

Oh you made me extremely warm and fuzzy inside. A hammock is just a lovely way to set a scene...and then with Jim getting all gushy about babies. Loved Pam telling him not to say "uterus" ever again. ROFL. This was great.

Author's Response: Aw, thanks LoveFool. Jim in a hammock. Babies. Backstories. It begged to be told. I\'m glad you liked it, and sorry I didn\'t reply sooner! Thanks for reviewing. :)

:::sigh::: That was dreamy. My absolute favorite moment was Jim carrying his little baby out to see the family for the first time.  I just picture him so big and the baby so small...ugh. I'm done. Good work.

Author's Response: I\'ve thought about that so many times since Thursday night. How a teeny baby would look being held by Jim with his massive hands. I can\'t wait to see that!

As someone who adores fluff, I will tell you there's a time and a place for everything especially if it's well written - and this is well written.  I wouldn't want to see it happen on the show and I don't think we ever would...but that's what fanfic is for to explore all these other things...GREAT writing. 

Author's Response: Coming from the amazing writer of Baby Talk, I am HUMBLED by your review. Seriously. I live to write as well as you, so that is a huge honor to have you reading this!! :)

hehhee. I love the idea of that morning being "the" morning.  And what was Pam going to say? That she forgot her pills...freaking Michael cut her off with the horn! lol. Very nice morning lovin'. ;-) 

Author's Response: Yeah, I tried to think of a canon scenario that I could use.  It had to have happened sometime around the MSPC arc and with Pam running around at such crazy hours, and dealing with both new job responsibilities, and reigning in Michael and Ryan, it's not impossible to think that somewhere there could have been a contraceptive slip up.

::sigh:: I ADORED that.  And I had yet to think that Charles actually did them a favor by making them leave the game...so go you with that angle! There's something about them just letting it SINK IN that's so romantic, and I love that you touched on the fact that Jim knows a freak out is coming...but not today. Today he's just going to enjoy it.  Beautiful.

::sigh:: Jim has a baby folder with articles that never leaves his side and has made post-its about things like life insurance.  I think I love him...No wait - I do love him. 

GREAT chapter.
