I love this story, but it confused me because false positives aren't really a thing with those tests, so I'm glad you clarified in the comments, cause I thought maybe she had a miscarriage or.. something.

In any case, I'm new here, and this is literally the first story I've read on this site! I can tell you're a great author, and I'm excited to read the rest of your works!!

Summary: Years after the documentary finished filming and airing, it manages to affect Cece Halpert's first day of junior high school and lead to some awkward conversations. Four years after that, she gets caught in an awkward moment of her own.

Summary:

Just as quickly as life can give you everything you've ever wanted, it can take it away on a dime. When tragedy strikes, will Jim and Pam's love be able to stand the tests?

Set during the summer between S2/S3. 

For those of you who watched Lost or Once Upon a Time, the theme of flashbacks will be heavily played with in this one :)

This is such an incredible story! Even if I never get to read another chapter, I'm still so happy to get to read it. It's so powerful and I'm finding it hard to talk this afternoon. I keep wanting to whisper to my kids and use the little sign language that I know! 😆
I've always been intrigued by the concept of A Quiet Place, but I'm too chicken to watch anything remotely like that, so I'm glad I got to experience this story. It's so beautifully told, thank you!!

This is such a wonderful story and idea. I really, really wanted it to go more AU at times (like getting them back together sooner!), and I felt like Karen was a little out of character (but I don't really care much about her, so oh well 🤷🏻r05;a92;a039;😆), but the payoff was so so so good! I loved how they kept ALMOST realizing they were Jamie and Morgan, so clever and cute and made my heart skip a beat!
I thought for SURE it would be when Pam saw his yearbook at the BBQ, but I forgot that she never actually SAW him, ahh!
I also loved Pastor Dan and the religious aspects of the story. I thought that really fit with Pam's character and the fact that we know they had Cece christened.

Altogether, this is one of the most incredible JAM stories I've ever read. Thank you so so so so much for writing it, and for making me both laugh out loud and cry. Fabulous job. d84;a039;d84;a039;d84;a039;d84;a039;

Author's Response: Thank you so much. I've very glad you enjoyed it so much. I was still getting a feel for the characters while writing this, so that may explain some of the out of character moments. It was a lot of fun bringing them so close to finding out about each other but not quite there, until the end at least. It was a labor of love to write it, so I'm really happy that people continue to enjoy reading it. Thanks again for your review.

Summary:

When the secrets of one employee cost the others twelve hours of peril, locked in the office under a hostage situation, true colors begin to shine through. 

Essentially taking the General Hospital Metro Court hostage crisis from 2007 and pretending it happened in The Office, so if you've seen it, some plot lines will probably give you nostalgia... :)
