*squeeee* I get so excited to see the update! Perfect way to start my Monday!!

Very sweet chapter. Love the fact that they're planning their wedding and that little part about Jim reflecting on their relationship from friends to more than that ;o)

I really can't wait for the last chapter. And if there's a part about Jim "mousing" Pam, it'll be even better :D

::wipe tears:: I'm very very sad that this is over because it's been one of the stories I look forward to.

Having said that: *wild applause* Well done, my friend! I was expecting a wedding "Niagara"-style but what you gave us is exactly what I need on the eve of Baby Tuna's arrival.

This chapter was just simple and sweet. Jim and Pam and their family. The love just radiates throughout and made me sigh. I loved the beginning as well (and laughed a bit). Ah, such is the life of parenthood ;o)

Thanks once again for sharing is wonderful story. ::hugs:: Please write more stories :D

Author's Response: Thank you! Thanks for sharing your thoughts throughout. I was originally planning to do a wedding chapter, but I wanted to bring Phyllis back in, and then I thought a birth chapter would be... well, I just didn't think I would do it very well. Glad you liked the beginning of the chapter. I couldn't end it without some Jamsex. But see why I wanted to get it done before the show aired? Thanks so much for helping me to keep going. xo

This is such a great idea, a story about Jim and Pam before they became JAM. The characters sound so much like their Season 1 selves so great job! Also, I love the little details that Jim first noticed about Pam (like how pretty she was when she smiled) as well as Jim having no choice but to take the DM's job offer.

Awww...love this chapter (especially the HP reference.) So sweet to see the gradual fall of Jim Halpert for a certain receptionist. You wrote their flirtation and beginning of their friendship very convincing that I think this is exactly what must have happened before the camera showed up at DM-Scranton.

Also, it would be great if you can re-upload Chapter 5. Oh, and don't make us wait too long for the next chapter :D

Wow!! This was a great alternate ending to The Convict! I loved the fact that Andy unwittingly gave Pam the opening she needed to reach out to Jim and his response to her. Of course he never stopped loving her! He can't! I want to hug Andy after reading this.

My favorite part was this: Looking straight into his eyes, she whispered, “Jim, it was always you.”

Great job!

I found myself thinking about this story when rewatching an episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" :D

And then I re-read this chapter and thought that it's still just as amazingly hot as the first time I'd read it. Like scorching hot.

There's just so much love and passion between these two and this story really illustrated that.

Thanks for sharing!

Ummmm...I needed to take a minute in order to get my mind out of the gutter after reading this. It was so hot! I really, really like the way you write. No wasted words and you describe everything to beautifully. So many awwww moments (the exchanging keys, Jim did the dishes & waited up for her, etc.). The smut was quite excellent ;o) and the words "I just want to feel your skin" made me want to swoon. I'm not kidding! At the risk of sounding trite, excellent job!

Author's Response: Nope, not trite - just very flattering! Thanks so much, bkwrm - this was a fun one to write, so I love hearing that it worked so well for you.

Reading this made me sigh out loud. It's just so heartwarming and very sweet! You painted such a wonderful picture of them together, talking, against a vivid background. The story Jim told Pam was so sweet. I also like the title a lot. A picket fence is so simple, yet symbolizes much more. Great job!

I'm assuming this is based during S3? One word comes to mind when I read this is haunting. You wrote Pam's conflicting emotions very well and that part about her dream? My gosh, so sad! I usually avoid angst-y fics but I like the title (a crescent moon is so pretty) so I decided to give it a try and was glad that I did. Hopefully you'll continue since I'm very interested to see where you'll take this.

I have a question though: Do you like the pairing Dwight & Angela? I'm curious because of your penname :o)

Author's Response: Yes, it is based during S3. And thank you very much! I agree with you, cresent moons are gorgeous. I\'m so glad you tried an angsty-fic! Most of mine are (except Picket Fence and 55 Words on Kissing in the Rain). I tend to write angst better than fluff. \r\nAnd yes, I love Dwight and Angela together (Dwight+Angela: Dwangela, so I just shortened it to \"Dwangie\"). Too bad they aren\'t together anymore!\r\nAnyway, thanks so much for your lovely comment!

So I haven't read this story yet but I like the premise and judging by the reviews, it's very good and most likely addicting as well. So my purpose for "reviewing"? Just want to let you know that I really, really want to read this story but because the status is not complete, I'm afraid that if I start, I'll become a little obsess with the refresh button waiting for this story to be update and that's not a pretty picture ;o) So...please finish this soon so I can start reading and give you proper reviews :o) Pretty please?

Author's Response: Heeeee thank you so much. To know that people are reading and would like to read what happens next really helps me. I am almost done with the third chapter =) Feel free to start obsessing, it will be good for me to have people kicking my ass telling me to update lol.\r\n\r\nThanks again I appreciate it SO much =) I can\'t wait to see what you think when you do read it hehe!!!

Date: July 22, 2009 Title: Chapter 1: You're three thousand miles from the place you once called home

First, I love the title. It's from Counting Crows, right? Second, darnit...now I'm addicted, Sally! Why did I give in? Why?

I've mentioned in my non-review a while back that I really like the premise of this story and reading the first chapter, I have to say that I love this new scenario for our favorite couple. The fact that Jim's a single dad is such a great idea and I cannot wait to find out what happened to Ellie's mother. And Ellie is such a cute character already! I didn't expect her to have a hearing problem at all! I'm very much enjoying the foundation you've laid out and cannot wait to read the 2nd chapter when I'm less sleepy :o)

One thing though: in the 3rd phrase by Larissa ("...it's the reason you can home after all"), I think you meant came instead of can,

Author's Response: Thank you SO much for your awesome reviews!!!\r\n\r\nYeah it\'s the title of a Counting Crows song, I got all creative when I was naming it lol. \r\n\r\nI\'m so glad you\'re enjoying this and it\'s so exciting to be writing something new, you know? I have just always wanted to see Jim as a single dad and see how he\'d cope in that situation.\r\n\r\nIf you keep going you\'ll find out all about Ellie\'s mom, I\'ve already explained it, so you won\'t have to wait for that part!! I\'m kinda glad the hearing problem threw you, that was my plan mwahaha!\r\n\r\nThanks again for pointing out my mistake, seriously if you see something just let me know -)\r\n\r\nI can\'t wait for you to read the rest now!!!!!\r\n

Reviewer: bkwrm Signed
Date: July 22, 2009 Title: Chapter 2: You Complete Me.

I love this getting to know each other stuff between Jim and Pam. And of course they would be instantly drawn to each other! The last paragraph where Jim began to worry about his attraction to Pam was great. Made me want to read the next chapter now! (but need to go slowly ;o)

The way you've incorporated stuff from the show itself and tweaked it into your story was very well done.

My favorite part? Ellie. You're very good at writing children and the way Jim interact with his daughter, caring for her, his love for her and such. It's so heartwarming and sweet and all kind of adorable! Jim's worries and guilt about leaving Ellie to go to work is just so....him. Oh yeah...I'm loving the way Pam is in this story. So straightforward and cute right off the bat. And yay to Ma Halpert, prodding Jim like that. He needs to take her advice.

Umm...I don't mean to nitpick but there's a sentence that you wrote twice in this chapter. The part where Pam told Jim about his deskmate Dwight.

Overall...another great chapter!

Author's Response: Thank you SO much for reviewing. I LOVE how you caved mwahaha!\r\n\r\nIn my story Pam isn\'t with Roy and he was only an ex from high school, so they weren\'t that serious. I do think if Pam had left him sooner in the show, FNB would have been with us a lot sooner than she was, which is what I have tried to show her as here. \r\n\r\nI\'m SO happy you are enjoying Ellie. I have to say she\'s my favourite to write. This story is so close to my heart and I just feel so protective of her. I have based Ellie on my friend\'s daughter, and her little brother has the hearing problems, so this story is all about them, and I love them. \r\n\r\nYAY glad you enjoyed the little things from the show I\'ve thrown in, I just thought that could be a cute little twist on things!!\r\n\r\nThanks so much for pointing out the mistake. I never saw it and neither did my beta, so I always appreciate people pointing this stuff out so that I can fix it =)\r\n\r\nThanks again for your review, it means a lot to me that you have reviewed in general, but the fact you have left me such a detailed review is awesome. I love hearing what people think!!!\r\n\r\n

Date: July 23, 2009 Title: Chapter 3: The Telling Of The Tale.

OMG...Jim giving Ellie a bath is one of the cutest things I've ever read. I was smiling as I read that part. Then I got excited when I got to the part about Pam being jealous because she thought Jim was married. Then I smiled again because I thought that's a good sign that she likes him more than that ;o)

Also, that part where Jim sang "You Are My Sunshine" to Ellie? That should come w/ a warning. Cuteness overdose!! It made me grin so wide!

I really love the way you're writing Jim as a single father. The loneliness he must've felt that he has no one to share the joy and the sorrow of having a great kid like Ellie but at the same time, struggling to be both her mom AND her dad to make sure all her needs (physically and emotionally) are met. I'm sure it's very hard to be a single parent and you wrote it so well!

I'm super happy to have Jim and Pam finally sitting down to talk and get the back story of Ellie's mother.

Can't wait til ch.4 when I'm home :o)

Author's Response: Eeeeeeeeee, I am so excited you\'re reading this and enjoying it so much. The part with Jim giving Ellie a bath almost killed me writing, so I\'m so happy you ppreciated the cutness =)\r\n\r\nYour reviews are amazing and I want to squish you so bad.

Date: July 23, 2009 Title: Chapter 4: As The Story Goes

Wow...that was a very intense chapter. Great job on giving us the whole story behind Chloe and Jim's history with her. You didn't skimmed on the details but instead giving the information that put the whole situation of why Jim is a single father into context. The scenario you wrote of Chloe and her severe depression sounds very credible and sad.

Another thing I loved about this chapter is how Jim finally found someone who he could talk to about his situation. While he has his family to talk to, it's not the same as having Pam to talk to, I'm sure. His anger and sense of betrayal at the fact that Chloe just left was also very well written, implied as he told Pam the story.

Also...yay to the hand holding already! Cute way to end the chapter :o)

Author's Response: Thank you Thank you Thank you! I did a lot of research on depression and I know a lot of people with it, so thank you for saying it was realistic, that really meant a lot to me!\r\n\r\nThat\'s exactly what I was going for with Jim finding Pam - he didn\'t realise just how much he missed having a best friend, you know? And he\'s found that with Pam already aw!!!\r\n\r\nThanks again <3

Date: July 23, 2009 Title: Chapter 5: Lions and Dryers and Dwights, Oh My!

How cute was it when Jim refused to let go of Pam's hand? Too cute, lemme tell you! And their bantering? It's so obvious that they're falling for each other already! There's just something so sweet and sexy about how they're just sitting there and talking while holding hands. Loved it!

That's really funny about Pam being banned from the laundromat! What a troublemaker ;o)

I love the way their dynamic is subtly changing now that Jim shared his background with Pam. The way they're acting around each other, all flirty and cute, and of course, Jim asking Pam to come over!! Way to go!!

Oh yeah...since you didn't mind when I did it before...there's a typo in this sentence, "...walking over and throwing his messenger back over the back of his chair." Shouldn't it be bag instead of back?

Now I'm torn between reading the next chapter right away or wait until you're finished w/ the 7th one. Dang it, Sally!!

One last thing: I think it's so great that you're basing Ellie off on the two children of your friend. I can see why you're so attached to this character you've created. Thank you so much for sharing something so personal!

How cute was Jim getting all worried about making things perfect for his non-date with Pam. And the fact that he thought of picking up Ellie's favorite food? Best Dad Ever!

My favorite part of this chapter was the awkwardness of their first date. I love that they're being honest with each other. It's both endearing and sexy. And you had to go and stopped at the good part!

As always...looking forward to the next chapter.

This is definitely my favorite chapter so far mostly because of Pam meeting Ellie (who's very adorably written).

This part made me laughed: "Is she really asleep?" Pam asked. "No, she's pretending." He teased.

My only complaint is: when will they make out already?!? I need to see tongue action! Do try to make that happen, m'kay? ;o)

Author's Response: YAY for this being your favourite, now I need to OUT DO that and make the next one even better... hmm how can I make that happen? ;)\r\n\r\nI hope I\'ve kept the banter between them believable!!!\r\n\r\nYAY gonna start work on the next part now!
