I love the little moments like Jim rubbing her back and coming up to reception to talk to her.  And the fact that they share music is just too cute,  Lovely story.

love love LOVE to see them pranking together again.  Especially on Andy now since Dwight apparently has a soft side.  And love that they acknowledge there are things to talk about and the will talk about it.  We all know they need to.  And Jim saying that talking to Pam is easy (as compared to Karen.)...just icing on the cake.  Love this story.

Haha...perfectly in character.  I love Kelly's overshares with Pam and how she reacted. Very very Kelly.

Hahaha...oh Dwight....love him thinking of the child as a beet farm worker before age 5.  I love Angela using the "Noelle" and "Kurt" again.  Very good.

I absolutely love how you had all the "fathers" interacting at the end.  That was wonderful to see.  And I love that Jim figured out Pam was pregnant before she did.  Haha...just wonderful.

Awww...this was sweet.  I don't think it was anti-Karen at all...just typical "get rid of traces of former girlfriend".  Very cute.

Ok...this one makes me want to give him a hug even more.  (maybe I'm slightly protective of him esp. when he's nieve)

Woo-hoo for Jim breaking free!  I like how you wrote Karen...seems to explain why Jim was in that relationship.

Loved seeing inside their heads.  Very good on the characterizations.  Loved that when they were kissing Jim kept thinking "I'm kissing Pam!"  Very good FDF.

Author's Response: Thanks flamingos, glad you liked the characterization, and the recurring "I'm kissing Pam" thought was a favorite of mine too.  -BL

Author's Response: Thanks flamingos!!  That's all we can hope for.  So glad you liked it!! xoxoxo

=(  This made me a little bit sad but then...starting thinking how I don't really believe in soulmates but that there are more than one person you can end up with and be happy even if there is one certain person you might be happiest with.  I think Jim could have stayed with Karen in NYC and had the potential to be happy.  It wouldn't be the life he had in Scranton with Pam (which also has the possibility to make him happy) but it could still be a good life.  As much as I love Jim & Pam, it's nice to see Jim happy in other circumstances too.  And...their apartment is totally awesome.

(and after I wrote this whole thing I realized there are more chapters coming so...I don't know how much sense this makes but looking forward to more!)

Awww...this was adorable.  I love how well they were guessing.  And I LOVE that Jim kills plants...because I may or may not have the same problem (although I am getting better).

Author's Response:

Haha. yeah. I tried to make sure that it was a balance between getting it right and wrong and guessing.  And also the order of truths and lies. A lot of thought went into it!

Haha. Yeah, I can keep a plant alive... but not a fish. My poor fishies don't have very good life expectancies. Oh, and that line was almost wrong... I caught it right before I posted it... I had it phrased wrong, and so, there wasn't a lie... 

So glad you enjoyed. Hope your luck with plants gets better. 

Awww....poor Jim.  I can't imagine getting finally ready to do it and then having the win blown from your sails like that.  And love the irony of buying the ring the day before the 4th.

Author's Response: Thanks, flamingos!  Jim, I think, is such a romantic deep down - and he's trying his best to express that.  Things aren't going as easily as he'd hoped though!  Thanks for reading and reviewing!!

The Christmas trees had to be sacrified!!!  NOO!!!!.  Darn trees ruining Jim's proposal.  I, like Pam, am slightly a Christmas freak.  I love it when stories add little things like that I can connect to.


Author's Response: Yes, I am a christmas freak too - and I just know that Pam is.  :-)  Hopefully next Christmas they'll actually be engaged and pine trees won't have to burn in vain.... ;-)  Thanks for reading!!
