Hi, I've been lurking for several months but I had to create an account so I could leave you a review. I love this story so, SO much and I'm so excited to see what happens next. I'm so thrilled with the plot advancement in the last two chapters and I keep re-reading them because they are so wonderful! But now I really, really want to know what happens next! Please updates soon! I'm not above begging. :)

Author's Response: Thanks, TunaEveryNight! You have no idea how exciting it is for an author to read the words I created an account to leave a review... Thanks so very much. I'm a bit OBE right now but I definitely will be coming back to this story.

OMG, I was so happy to see this story updated. I remember reading this months ago and I was SO hooked. You write these characters so clearly and so realistically; your story was such a joy to read! I love the conflicting emotions about this new pregnancy and I love the way you wrapped this chapter. How's Pam's instinctive need to protect her child is what suddenly made everything so real for her. What a beautiful story. Can't wait for the epilogue.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for this nice little comment :) I'm a little (okay, a lot) stuck on an epilogue because I want to make sure it goes well with the rest of the story, but I definitely plan to write it.

What a great chapter! I was wondering how the meeting between Pam and Jim's family would go. Meeting the parents is already awkward enough but then to throw in the whole family...oh, and then's there that whole "I'm carrying your son's baby which I conceived during a one night stand" thing. Nope, no pressure at all.

The scene at the end was just so sweet. At first, I was afraid that Jim would be upset that Pam was eavesdropping but it's so nice that she knows how he feels about her (and he knows that she knows) with very little drama. Those two have been through enough.

I'm sad this is coming to an end. I hope we get to see a little Jam/baby interaction.

Author's Response: Thanks so much!! Yes, I figured that meeting between family would be so weird since they did get pregnant from a one night stand, hence the whole family coming along to check it out. I'm so glad you liked the ending, I don't think Jim would be upset at Pam hearing how he felt and coming soon, we'll get the reverse of that. I figured the first 19 chapters were all about miscommunication and misunderstandings but now all the cards are being put on the table. I do promise that we'll get some baby action before this is all over and done with. Thanks so much again for the review, it means a lot!!

Very interesting chapter! And not too long at all. There were so many twists and turns. I'm really interested to see what happens to Jim and Pam's relationship as it seems that more and more people are starting to wonder/find out about them. This is such a interesting premise that you have going on because in most situations (AU or otherwise) Pam and Jim are always struggling to overcome outside forces and get together. But in this story, they ARE together and are struggling against outside forces from the inside of their relationship. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Author's Response: Thank you, TunaEveryNight! When I was first throwing around ideas I knew I wanted to do a story where they would be together from close to the start and very little relationship angst. Just seemed like it would be less stress for me to write. Haha.

Another great chapter! I love how you've handled the characters: Roy is a sweet, well-meaning but still rough around the edges guy who really does care for Pam; Jim hasn't quite learned to control his emotions around Pam; and Pam is already conflicted by the two men in her life but doesn't understand why. Love how this story is developing!

Author's Response: Thanks! Yeah, I wanted to make the characters all sympathetic and approachable yet still caught in the mess they find themselves. Roy is a good guy just not the right one. Jim is still young and eager, who doesn't have a handle on himself yet. And Pam just doesn't have life figured out yet. Glad you're enjoying it!

Great chapter! I'm really enjoying this story. It's so interesting to hear Pam's version of events...particularly as she is reminiscing; she (and we the readers) knows everything that is going to unfold so she's able to give us a true account of her feelings. Even the feelings that she didn't recognize or want to acknowledge at the time. This story almost has a sad quality to it, as well...which is interesting. I almost feel like she's telling this story many, many years down the road and that maybe she's the only one left to tell the story. I'm not asking for any hints...just really intrigued to see where you take this. :)

Author's Response: So glad you're enjoying it! It's interesting that you find Pam. I'm not so sure she's sad, moreso feeling nastolgic and is also recounting a less than happy time for her. I will say that I don't kill off Jim, if that's what you're worried about. ;) Thanks for the review!

I love this story! So cute and sweet and perfectly realistic. I love seeing Jim and Pam at the beginning of their relationship and I think the mix of funny/sexy/sweet was very in character. P.S. So excited to read a new chapter of Accidentally in Love!

Author's Response: Thank you soooo much <3

I love this story SO much! You have chosen such a cute POV and executed so flawlessly. I love how the story is so cute and funny but there are little hints of confusion and fear in there as well...which is EXACTLY how a four-year-old would feel in this situation. I can't wait to read more!!

Author's Response: aww thanks TunaEveryNight! I've always sort of imagined Cece as this precocious little girl who wouldn't be fazed when her parents left but then of course, she's still four. Glad you like it!

This is so beautiful and sensual. The whole time I was reading this, I could feel the mugginess in the air. The emotions in this story are so heartbreaking. They're so close to the truth and so far away from it all at the same time. I like how in this story Karen is sort of secondary...she's there but she's not what's keeping them apart. Fear is what's keeping them from each other. Such a beautiful story.

Ooh...interesting. Pam doesn't have a finacee this time but Jim is getting very clear signals that she wants to be single. Very intriguing. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Author's Response: Thanks for the review. The new chapter is up!

This was a really beautiful story and a really good characterization of Michael. As much as he wants to be with Holly and start a new life with her, I can easily imagine him freaking out about all of the changes. I love how Jim and Pam are a little exasperated when they're trying to calm him down. They love him and want to make him feel better but he's still the same Michael and they're still treating him the same way they always have. Really enjoyed this piece.

OMG, I am so excited about this story! The economy is so bad right now and times are so hard for so many people...and this is SUCH a believable possibility for a salesmen at a failing mid-range company. I love how you've shown the bliss of their family life first. Now, we'll see how that perfection is affected by Jim's sudden job loss. I can't wait to see what you do with this story. In your capable hands, I know it will be wonderful.

Author's Response: Thanks so much Tuna!! Very happy to have you on board with this story! Yeah, I thought if Sabre was a real company, they'd be more than hurting from those printer fires, so I thought that would be a legitimate reason for the company to start sliding down hill, and Jim being their highest paid employee because he capped his commission so early, I thought he might be affected the most by it, and end up losing his job because how could they afford to pay him. I'm so excited that you liked this start of the story, and I'm looking forward to your thoughts on the update too! Thanks so much for such a lovely review! :)

A beautiful chapter! I'm so happy that Jim's first reaction to the pregnancy was sheer joy and awe. These two have so much on their plates right now and so much to be stressed about but their love for each other and for their growing family just shines through. I love that that they were able to have a repeat of that morning's discussion yet they've already learned a better way to approach it. They've learned to cling to each other instead of fighting with each other out of frustration. Great transition with that. And this moment...“I’ll never forget,” he began, twisting his lips to the side as he sniffled. “The first time I ever said to myself, if I’m ever lucky enough to be in that guy’s shoes, if I’m ever lucky enough to be the guy you went home to every night, I swore I would never ever do anything to ever let you down. I promised myself that I would never disappoint you. I swore I’d be the exact opposite of Roy.”...just about broke my heart. I love this story so much. Seriously.

Author's Response: Thanks again, Tuna! I'm glad that their love for one another came through. It took me about four days to get this chapter just right and I almost deleted it and started over yesterday, but with some editing I managed to convince myself to go with what I had. I'm really happy to hear that it worked out better than I thought it did! The Roy part was something that sort of popped up in my head, and I'm so happy that you quoted it because it was a last minute addition that I was hoping wouldn't come across as too much. I like playing on their history but sometimes I worry that people won't think they'd remember some stuff from their past. It makes me so happy to know that it worked out! Thank you so much again and it's so nice to see that you're following and loving this story. I hope you like the way it continues to unfold! More on the way very soon. :)
