Oh Lovefool, I have such high praise for you. You have a gift, seriously, your writing is spot on. I remember over the summer I would spent hours at a time reading these chapters and I'd stay up all night reading and envying your talent. I'm sure I've already told you this but you are my favorite fanfic writer of all time (and I read them a lot, not just Office ones either). This chapter was pure perfection, and you know how to write so that everything makes so much sense. I'm sad to see this end, but please continue writing more stories! I won't be able to survive without them.

Wow... has it really been three years? Seems crazy. Such a great adventure this story has been.... however, it now seems wrong that the new Halpert is not named Jill.

Aw, this is the end? I've been following this story for EVER! But, if it had to end, this was a good way for it to end! And I'm glad that I finished reading it the night Jim and Pam had their baby on the show. Everything about this story was simply wonderful!

Wow, what a masterpiece you've written, LoveFool! And you even got to use your Lovefool song again, man, that was hilarious! What a sweet chapter and it's been a pleasure reading this, even if reading vs. homework was on my No-Jill list! Great job, and this has just been a joy to read.
P.S., the first time you mentioned Alyse, it was spelled Alyce, so I'd suggest choosing a spelling and sticking with it (I personally like Alyse with a s more!)
12/10 for this chapter!

Maybe it's all the promos--maybe it's your ridiculously good writing--but all I know is, when I finished this chapter I teared up.
This family is beautiful, please bring us something new and more soon?

Bravo, LoveFool! *whistles* Thanks for sticking with this and bringing it to such a perfect conclusion.

Bless you Lovefool for sharing your gift of storytelling with us. Every chapter has been such a loving tribute to 'family'. Setting it in the world of Jim and Pam was icing on the cake.

Wow, you had me at the author's notes. I actually thought I was going to cry at Here's to swaying being dancing after all... I've loved this entire story so much - it was one of the first ones I read when I started reading this forum, and it never fails to bring a smile to my face. How perfect that it end with Godfather Michael. Can we now pronounce you the Boss of Babyfic? *standing ovation*

A bit on the fly here, cause I have about 9 bazillion things to do before delivering the baby tonight (woops...that's Pam not me!) but had to commemorate this moment. You finished! And in TOP FORM, babe. You are still the queen of dialogue and those perfect little touches (looking for an iron, like the hospital is a hotel - hee!) Not to mention writing a small child who's adorable without making your teeth hurt.
It's was an honor to be even a very tiny part of this...and what the hell, for old time's sake: I believe it's Pitocin, not Pitosin ;-) Well done, missy!

Want to hear a little story, hey LoveFool? So I get to the end of this chapter, read your little 'thank you' note and get a lump in my throat. Then go back to discover, yes it has been marked complete. And do you know what I did next? I cried. That's right LF, you made me cry. Are you happy now?! ;)
In all seriousness, there is a reason why this was one of the first stories I favourited. It is so amazingly pitch perfect. Everyone is perfectly in character. Everyone is funny and sweet but real as well. Jill isn't perfect but she's adorable. Jim isn't perfect but he's pretty damn close. And same for Pam. They're parents in this, of course they're not going to be perfect 'isn't being a parent so easy!'. It's tough! But you do your best and enjoy it (or so I've been told at least). And because of that realism, I've always pictured the little Halpert family as exactly the way that you've described them. In fact I had a dream the other night where I watched the actual episode to discover they were calling her Jill. True story!
This is the epitome of great, cute, entertaining and authentic babyfic. You've set the bar exceptionally high for all other babyfics, LF. You are the master. I have read this story again and again and again. And I will continue to do so long after the Halpert family have established themselves on TV. Thank you so much for this. I hope my review reflects even just a fraction of how much I love 'Baby Talk'. *sniff*
I'm okay, I'm fine...just have something in my eye again...
*wails*

Okay, seriously? You're just the damn best/goddess in the babyfic world. I love this story so much. One of my favorite chapters of anything will always be your "She: a Lesson in Pronouns" chapter from this story. And this chapter just makes me even more excited for tomorrow (today!). I love all of your stories -- you blend tension and heart and fluff and feeling and great characterization and you do it well. You rock. I'm so glad that Labor Relations expanded just a bit .. into thirty-one awesome chapters. You're one of my favorite writers on the site and there's just no question as to why. Beautiful story, one that I've always reread now and then, and will continue to. I'm going to miss your little character of Jill. I hope one day you'll be moved to give us a little oneshot of Jill and Alyse hanging out, being different or the same?, but until then, I love the ending to this one. You always have kept Jim and Pam as a couple who's just going to do what they're doing and have fun doing it, basically. And at the end of this chapter, that's all I'm thinking about -- look at these two with their little girls. They're going to have so much fun.
Great job, lovefool! Thanks for being awesome. I'll miss this story; I'm happy there's plenty to reread.
