I normally don't like the depressing stuff but this is too good to pass up. You've painted a wonderful picture of so many families right now. I can't wait for more.

That was so cute. I loved the fact Jim mentioned he missed her cardigans. I do too. Loved that last sentence.
Summary: Spoilers through "The Promotion". I don't think I've ever written a good and proper fight between Jim and Pam. I thought it might be fun to take a crack at it...in my own "fight" sort of way. ;-)

Summary: 
These are meaningless, short and simple ways for me to pass the time. Most of these have been sitting on the hard drive I've been cleaning out for the past couple of weeks (slowly but surely). Just pregnant Pam and baby fluff. They were all labeled "babytimes01.txt" on my computer, hence the name. Just vignettes, not necessarily chapters in order, and the rating is caution for later. Spoilers for the Delivery in the last chapter.

I'm so sorry I didn't review this one much. It was such a great story and a wonderful way to get us through the waiting for Cecelia to make her appearance.
Summary: Pam's with Roy but things are less than perfect between them. Jim loves her and knows she doesn't belong with Roy. He'll find a way to save her, and show her she deserves to be loved. Warning: some abuse

This is so full of wonderful angst. I usually get nervous when I read that but this seems so realistic to me that I can't help but love it. I know they can work this out. I LOVE this story.
Author's Response: KH this is me you're talking to. I will NEVER break Jim and Pam up in a story. I just can't do it. There's never reason to be nervous about that with me! lol. Thanks so much for reading and responding. You're awesome!

This is fantastic! It feels so realistic between the two of them. I've always felt that they have a hard time telling the other one what is really going on in their heads. I also loved the Pam/Mom talk. It's how I imagined that relationship to be. I can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed the Pam/Mom talk. That was one of my favorite parts to write!

I waited all day to comment trying to find the right words of gratitude. Nothing I thought of will be adequate. So just know that you made me feel every emotion possible with this one. I would love to read more from you soon!
Author's Response: KH, you're too much. Thanks so much for all your wonderful comments. I have a lot of fun writing things about J&P, so no gratitude necessary, my dear.

It’s strange how life changes. How suddenly, everything isn’t about you anymore.
Pam has no idea how her life got so messed up. She has no idea how she let it go on for so long. But now, she has a reason to get out. A reason to survive. A reason to change her life. She's going to do right by this little girl. She's going to make sure that her life is better than anything Pam ever had.
New feelings, old fears, new challenges, old habits.

So good! I love how real this one feel to me. Some bad feelings just come to surface when something like this happens. You are still showing their love and care for each other while having to deal with the hard stuff.
