I am glad that, although it feels weird when I realize that Pam isn't in the office, its not as bad as it was when Jim was in Stamford or Pam was at art school. Then I felt it every painful second of the episode.

Oh, anyways, I loved this. It seems to fit wonderfully with the episode, and gives so much backstory (current-story?) to Jim, and even gets Charles' voice down.

Well done!

Author's Response: Thank you, Emily. I\'m glad that you enjoyed this little peek at Jim\'s inner thoughts. I think coming to terms with the fact that Pam has left the office BUT is no longer 100+ miles away from Jim helped me deal with the current storyline better and I wanted to share that viewpoint with all of you. So I\'m happy to hear that you liked this little one-shot, and who knows. Perhaps I\'ll be inspired to take a look at what\'s going through Pam\'s head through all of this...

I love the idea that Pam and the producer are friends. But I'm even more glad that Jim and Pam went on that date.

It was pretty good. I think I would have enjoyed it more if my mom wasn't watching youtube two feet away (that kind of was distracting), but still good. I always like 55 word stories, and just taking it in teeny little chunks as part of a journy is cool.

Angst is always good to remind you how great the fluffy time is.

Pam, trust me, I've babysat for over half my life, and I pretty much make a career out of it. But I know that I have absolutely no idea about what to do when that kid is born. So um, I'm just saying, you'd be screwed even if you were the world's best babysitter.

Aww, I've never met a Rachel Halpert in any of the stories, but that fits perfectly.

Anyways, Pam, this story just proves why I like to wait until they are a few months old. Much easier, and much less breakable.

Wow. So good. I mean, bad because I feel sorry for Pam and the text message that nevercame, but man, I like it.

Is it odd I take pleasure in the fact I wake up 'prettier' than Pam? I mean, in the end product, there's no contest, but I look relatively normal when I first wake up. Problem is I just don't change much after that.

Psst - Pam, you're pregnant. Sorry I just thought of that and it makes me all excited to think she was probably pregnant when this all occured.

So happy. Even if the wedding hasn't quite happened yet.

This just makes me deliriously happy again.

Enough to survive the Olympic induced Hiatus and knowing when it returns, the itty bitty fetus will be an itty bitty baby.

Aww, Leigh is so cute :). This was great. I love that Michael's good with kids... its just adults he really can't get!

This simply makes me happy. :)

So yeah, I read this a bajillionj months ago. But I always wanted to leave a proper review. Because this deserves it. It's such a sweet little moment (days) between them, and I absolutely love how you can just.... you can just feel the love and happiness and it's just great. Um, there should be something more poetic here, but seriously, I love this!

Awwwww.... its so damn cute! its reduced me to a puddle of happiness!

I wasn't supposed to be reading WIPs. But... um, here I am.

Oh, and curious - you only wish they were yours SOMETIMES?

Pam, when your 17 your daughter will not want to hear that story. Not if she's anything like me. Basically, I like just screaming at my mom and then running into my room and not wanting to hear anything rational OR romantic.

Parents don't have sex. Me and my bothers were obviously test tube babies. Seriously. Because if it happened any other way, I'm going to have to blow my brains out.

Oh, it was SO cute, a 3 (or 6, I forget which one) year old today told me, randomly "Drugs are bad. You shouldn't do drugs. I'm never going to, and my parents don't do them either!"


Author's Response:

Oh Em.  I am glad you caved.  You reviews always amuse me to no end.

I'd explain some things to you but I don't want you to blow your brains out.

Smart kid. ;)
