Ya know, when I first heard that tuna thing, I made a promise to never get pregnant. Of course, I was in a phase (mandated y crappy cafeteria food) that I had tuna salad everyday for lunch.... so. that may have been a factor in the decision.
Author's Response: I think maybe that's not the best reason not to have kids. But you know I won't judge.

i feel like such a stalker for never reviewing all the stuff i read on this site (especially from people like you), so i'm just going to review this because i love it, i'm currently reading it, you're currently writing it, and that sounds good enough to me.
i love this story. i love it because, as a writer, you know that a lot of times things are a lot harder to say than they are to write. that's one of my favorite things about this. sometimes the way that feels the most real and the most raw in terms of trying to get a character to reveal inner thoughts is to have them write. i really think you show such a true pam here, and it's lovely!
i love everything i've read from you which, if i'm not mistaken, is just about everything. thank you for keeping the spirit alive while we're on this torturous break!
Author's Response:
You are too sweet. I am happy to read a review. So whenever the mood strikes you - no worries! I have had a million stories in my head that are Pam-centric. I've stopped and started about a dozen. The only other time I attempted this it was a one-shot - one that I'm pretty proud of. It took forever for me to get the courage to do it again.
Really. You've basically made my day. Thank you again. I'm so happy to hear when someone likes what I've written. I'd write anyway - but it's most definitely the icing on the cake to know that there are people reading along.

These are so cute. I love Pam's voice in these letters to Jelly Bean. Best parts in this chap for me? All the Dwight details. So perfect!
Author's Response: Oh Dwight. So simple - yet so complicated. Thanks so much for the review. I'm glad you think her voice comes through. It was the thing that scared me to death about doing this to be honest!

That's just freakin cute! =) I can't wait for season 6 like everyone else here says. Seeing Jim as expectant father is going to be fun to watch!
Author's Response: I feel so bad! I never got a chance to reply to this before you sent another review!! I'm so happy you like it.

*grinning like a fool* I cannot freaking wait for S6. Between Pam being pregnant and maybe a little cranky, Jim being deliriously happy & proud and everyone in the office saying inappropriate things -- pure freaking gold. They don't even need to have any real plot, everyone can sit around and sell paper and it will be so freaking exciting.
Seeing John play an expectant father in AWG did not help me cool my jets for this at all.
So happy to see you writing again, XO. Go kick another mountain's ass today ;o)
Author's Response:
You and me both. I think that's a perfect idea for a show.
I'll tell you what - that beats Jay Leno 5 nights a week any day.
Static for me beats Jay Leno so maybe that's not saying much.
I cannot wait to see AWG. I found out it's playing at theatre closest to me so I'm going there next week.
Thanks so much! I'm going to try a treadmill today instead of the mountain but I was glad I took that on last night.
About 6 months ago I'd have collapsed halfway there for sure so that's something! ;)
Happy to be writing and that there are still people who want to read.
OK - this is the most random review reply ever. LOL!

Again, super cute!
Author's Response: Thank you!!!

Oh how great....what a fantastically plausible reveal of baby Halpert being in the oven. I can absolutely see it coming out because of Michael's new appeteezer. lol
Good work!
Author's Response: Aw shucks. I am glad you approve. :) Thank you as always for letting me know.

*sigh* Thank you for this, Hugs. It really perked up my spirits. I can hardly wait for this to happen. I think your version of the eventual bean spilling is pretty dang perfect.
Author's Response:
You are most welcome. I know. September seems so far away! I can't even talk about when the baby finally gets here.
I think I have a problem. At least I have company right? LOL!

How have we not talked about this?
I've been a bad (read: lazy, no good) reviewer lately. But this is delightful. Your Michael is still the Michael-ist Michael in Michaeltown. (Kinda scary how you do that ;-) And I love the conception pool and just the joyful, funny - and Office-specific - tone of this. Sweet, yet not schmoopy. Looking forward to more gestating.
Author's Response:
Not my fault. You were off carousing with what's-her-name. :)
I write Michael the way I write Dwight in a way. Just pick something ridiculous and run.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. :) Come back soon!

I personally think this idea of Pam writting letters is amazing! You really grasped her character here! It's super cute, adorable... my heart gushes out! Perhaps you could include a letter from Jim?? mayb?? Great job!
Author's Response:
Thanks so much Dedeen! You are not the only person dying for a letter from Jim. I'm going to give you my standard answer with a teensy spoiler.
This? Is Pam's thing. In my mind I don't think Jim is even aware she's writing at this point to be honest.
But one of these days...Pam just might be too busy - or maybe exhausted - to put pen to paper.
Just saying. :)

You're on a roll, lady. This was awesome. Words uttered by Dwight... and why do I also find it amusing that it would be Pam who blurts it out, not Jim? Also, the description of the Tuna Unsandwich? With cinnamon raisin bread in it? Priceless.
Please continue. :)
Author's Response:
Yay! Glad you liked it. I was torn with this one - because you know it's going to be so incredibly inappropriate when everyone finds out - yet I have to remember she's talking to her kid. I was hoping for a good balance.
And yeah. Michael's recipe is gross. lol!
Thanks so much for the review.
