Congrats, xoxoxo, you've gone further with Jim's career arc than the show has, and Jim isn't even really in your story! And the little Halpertlet will definitely inherit the stubborn gene. The grief those two gave us in just three years is proof of that.
Loved this: And my parents' problems have really just made me even more sure about what your dad and I have, not less. So freaking true. Sometimes an "anti-role model" can be just as effective.
Author's Response:
I am having trouble figuring out if Jim is just doing what he needs to do or really OK with working at D-M because of what it means for his personal life. I'm hoping we'll find out more in S6. But hell yeah they were stubborn. Drove me to drink.
Thanks so much for the review. I love hearing bits that people particularly liked.

Different, but kind of awesome. Still processing it.
/shortest review ever.
Author's Response: It really is. But I still appreciate it very much. :)

You are killing me with the awesomeness. I'd be more specific but I'm on my way out and if I don't leave this now I won't get around to it, but this is just getting better and better with each chapter. Her hearing him come to the stairs and then decide it's not time yet... perfect, I can so see it.
Your Pam feels very real and all of these thoughts and fears she's having do, as well. Keep it up! :)
Author's Response:
I've whined enough to you lately so I will just say thank you.
I wrote a story a long time ago where Pam was pregnant and they had a fight and Jim would periodically come and check on her (thinking she didn't know). I didn't really remember that until I started to write this chapter. Weird.
Anyway...I am very glad you liked it.

Once again another perfect insight. I love how you threw alittle imperfection with the both of them. LOVE this!
Author's Response:
You're very kind to me. I don't think either one of them is actually perfect (though Jim does come close sometimes) so I always knew I wanted to show a little of that. Glad you liked it too!

Cute. I'm glad Pam realises that she's not alone in this and that just because he's not pregnant, doesn't mean he can't freak out and stress about things - which a lot of fics forget -)
Awesome as always!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I know that it wouldn't be all sunshine and roses all the time so I'm glad you agree.

Hey, xoxoxo, wanted to let you know I really have been enjoying this story, even if I'm not the most frequent of reviewers. I especially love a chapter like this which presents the fears as well as the joys of a new baby along with shedding light on the not-so-perfect side of JAM. And you do such a great job of keeping it all in character and related to the show. Wonderful job! :) For what it's worth, I know people are wanting Jim's side, but I hope you keep this story in Pam's POV. I love reading about Pam and her own special connection with the baby.
Author's Response: Thanks iamapam! That is very sweet of you to say. I have always known that this story was about Pam's conversations with her "Bean". There was never a time where I thought Jim would come barging in...except for the part where I kinda planned for Jim to come barging in. I think people of both schools of thought ;) will be happy in the end. At least I hope so. :)

Again, I really like how Pam really feels about Jim and how much she realizes how he truly loves her in a way, he protects her while being pregnant. It's not just that, she wants them to work things out better and not wind up like her parents. They just need to thank for being there for each other and support. That's part of showing love in a way.
Author's Response:
That is exactly what I hoped would come across. I'm so happy to know I've succeeded. :)
