AU with a season three backdrop. Pam finds herself pregnant. Shenanigans ensue from there.It's official, I'm hooked. I keep checking for updates on this one. I can't wait for the merger. This should be interesting.
Yeah for their progress! I do feel for Pam having to endure her co-workers prodding though.
Author's Response: Yeah, it's hard to feel happy about something worth being happy about when you are constantly being criticized about it. Stupid coworkers. Thanks for dropping a line, really appreciate it. :)
I loved this chapter. Sorry I forgot to review after the last one. You are so fast I didn't have a chance! It ws nice to see a view into the Halpert household. Your version is far better than the one we see on tv. Can't wait for next week between Jim and Pam.
Author's Response: That's okay, I feel bad that it takes me forever to get to my responses. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter!! Yeah, I can't stand cartoony douchebag brothers. I wanted to change that. Thanks for reviewing!!
I thought the prank stuff was just right. I sat with a grin on my face thinking about them doing all that. You should be proud of the Jim/Karen stuff. It was really good. Looking forward to the next.
Author's Response: Oh good, I'm glad you did. :) Thanks, I (for some weird reason) love writing Jim and Karen's crappy relationship. lol. I don't know what that says about me. Thanks for the review!!
Happy to see they finally are on the same page. I can't say how much I appreciate your ability to add pieces from each show but make it your own.
Author's Response: Yeah, it's really nice to get away from the angst. I'm so glad you like how canon is woven into this AU--it's what makes this story challenging and fun to write. Thanks so much for dropping a line!
That was a fun break. Poor Jim, having Phyllis and Merideth hitting on him. Of course Creed and Andy are no picnic either. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thanks! Yeah, I wouldn't want a lot of those people hitting on me either. More soon!
I was so happy to see you had updated this one. I was going through some withdrawals! I really like they are together now and trying to figure things out.
Author's Response: Aww, thanks so much. Hopefully, the ending chapters will be out within the next week. So glad you're enjoying, thanks again!!
I don't even like reading there is only three more chapters. I love this story so much. I thought Jim sticking up for Pam was so cute. I felt sorry for here feeling bombarded by his family. His speech was well worth her day though.
Author's Response: Aww, yeah, I've really loved writing this story, too. But it's coming to its natural conclusion. :/ I'm so glad you enjoyed the speech, i had a lot of fun writing that! Thanks for the review!!
I was so happy to see this one updated this morning. That was how I wish Beach Games would have gone. I'm going to really savor the last two chapters of this one.
Author's Response: Yeah, as much as I love Beach Games for what it was, I kinda wished there was more too. I hope you enjoy the last couple, thanks for reviewing!!
I waited to read this last chapter when I would have no interruptions. I like everyone else don't have the right words to say how wonderful this story was. You literally took every moment from the show, made it your own and kept it completely in character. I hope you know how much I appreciate the time and effort you put into this. It is definitely appreciated. I look forward to more stories from you.
Author's Response: Ahh, you are so sweet. I'm glad you've enjoyed the journey and happy that you've noticed how much time I put into it. Thank you so much for your support and kind words, they've meant a lot! I'm hoping that I can get something new cooked up for you. :)
I'm slowly catching up on this but I swear I saw a Sept. 2008 last night here. Am I losing my mind?
Author's Response: Sorry, you're definitely not losing it. I had posted a chapter yesterday afternoon and the read count jumped but no one said anything about it so I thought it wasn't good, so I changed this back to Fifteen Months and marked it complete. At some point in the future I'll try Eighteen Months again as it's own story. Sorry for the confusion. :-( Now I'm working on something else involving Phyllis's wedding and our couple so hopefully you'll enjoy that one. Sorry again. I'm thinking the combination and new title may have confused people.
Very cute and sweet. I loved all their cute banter back and forth.
Man reading this makes me glad my boys never found that velcro. You describe it perfectly and as gross as it is you had me laughing. Such a cute story and nice back drop.
Author's Response: Hahaha! Be glad your boys never found the straps, it is the grossest thing ever. I'm happy you liked it!
Your insight of what really happened in that scene was perfect. Such a cute and sweet little story. I'd love to read more from you.
Author's Response: Thank you so much KH. So much of Jim's and Pam's stories, particularly through Season 5 (at least in my opinion) has always been about what was really going on inside each of their heads...at least when it came to each other. So trying to explore that aspect of their story through my "fic" writing as always been part of my inspiration. And if you haven't already, you can find my other stories through the "Authors" link, under "M".
Such a contrast in your writing. Each piece is just perfectly written. Thank you.
WOW, I had to take awhile to recover from this one. I loved that Pam has an aggresive side.
Just caught up with this one. Looking forward to this one playing out.
Author's Response: Thanks so much, I love fics about the early days of the show. I am having fun re-watching to write this one with as much correct canon info as possible. I'm nerdy like that :)
53 That was the conversation I knew they had at some point. It was sure perfection. Thank you and I too hope this is a long way from being over.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I felt like this chapter was probably the most important one in the whole story and I really wanted to get it right. So happy that you like it! And, yes, this story still has a long way to go.
So happy you came back! Hope you aren't working too hard. Looking forward to some Jim and Pam interaction.
The back and forth of the evening is great. I don't mind the pace at all, in fact I love it. We get some hot stuff and then some time to cool off!
This story just keeps getting better. I loved Pam's growth in this with her art. I am glad you brought up Pam just missing her bestfriend. That small conversation was so sweet and touching.
Author's Response: Thank you! Her character is so much stronger and more confident in Season 4 and I really wanted to explore the small changes that led to that growth.
I loved the talk between Jim and his mom. As much as it pains me I liked they you acknowledged Jim did love Karen. Hopefully he realized that Pam did love Roy also even if neither one of them were right for Jim and Pam. Did that make sense? Well YOU made it work. Thank you for such a wonderful story.
Favorite chapter so far. It just felt so real to me. They didn't get over emotional but are able to talk things out. I really want to thank you for this great story.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I feel like they're both so ready to move on at this point and they're finally ready to be honest with each other. Thank you for reading and taking the time to review. It means so much to me!
I agree this story has it all. I love the honest talk and the fact that they are trying to take it slow. Great stuff here.
Author's Response: Haha! Thank you. I'm really glad this story is working for you!
Wow, I am drained after reading this one. I kinda feel bad that I just can't feel sorry for Karen. You wrote this so perfectly and I do know Karen was hurting but I just can't sympathize with her. I guess I'm coldhearted. I feel worse for Pam and you hardly even mentioned her.:(
Author's Response: I'm Team!Pam all the way, but I've always felt this breakup must have been really hard for Karen. I mean, come on...imagine getting dumped by Jim Halpert! I'd be a basket case. :)
