I stood in the kitchen, making myself a cup of coffee.

"Are you serious?" I looked up to see Angela coming through the door.

"What?" I asked.

"I can't believe you're drinking caffeine. How about I save you some effort and just punch you in the stomach instead." She scoffed. My eyes widened.

"Angela, this is the first coffee I've had in three months. Not to mention I'm eight months pregnant so nothing is gonna affect the baby now." I spoke.

"I should call social services on you." She replied, sitting down at the table.

"Angela, it's one coffee." I scoffed.

"One too many when you're pregnant." She shrugged. I rolled my eyes and took my mug before walking back through to the office.

"One cup of coffee is bad, one cup of coffee is gonna kill your baby, you're a bad mom for drinking coffee." I mocked under my breath as I sat back at my desk. I sighed and smiled as my phone started to buzz with Jim's number. I picked it up.

"Hey." I chuckled.

"Hey babe. How you doing?" Jim asked.

"Considering Angela has just accused me of trying to kill our baby with caffeine, I'm great." I nodded, making Jim laugh.

"I mean, I doubt it'd do much now since you're about to pop." He spoke.

"Exactly what I said." I chuckled, shaking my head.

"I have a little surprise for you, that might cheer you up." Jim spoke.

"Hit me." I nodded, resting my hand against my bump.

"So, as you know, I'm kinda job searching for you down here, and I found out that the local elementary school has an opening for a first-grade teacher so I got you an interview." He admitted. My eyes widened slightly.

"Jim, I've told you once in the time we've been together that my dream job is an elementary school teacher, and that was on our first date. I can't believe you remembered that." I smiled to myself.

"Why wouldn't I? I know everything about my wife, including the dream career that she never got to pursue." He chuckled. I returned it as tears pricked my eyes.

"That sounds amazing. I'll do it." I choked. There was a pause.

"Are you crying, babe?" he asked.

"A little bit." I nodded to myself.

"Why?" he chuckled.

"Because it's such a small detail and you could have easily forgotten it but you didn't and it just means a lot to your very pregnant and over-emotional wife." I smiled, making Jim laugh.

"Okay. Well, the interview is next week, you think you could do that?" he asked.

"I'll ask my mom to look after Cece." I nodded.

"Awesome. I'll talk to you later. I love you." He spoke softly.

"I love you too, Jim." I smiled to myself, a tear leaving my eye as I hung up.

I walked into the elementary school and rested my hands on my bump as I looked around.

"Mrs Halpert?" I turned around and smiled as a woman walked towards me.

"That's me." I chuckled.

"Nice to meet you. Wow, your husband didn't mention that you're pregnant." She chuckled as she shook my hand.

"Is that going to be a problem?" I gulped.

"No, no, it won't be. Congratulations." She smiled as we sat down.

"Am I so impressive that I already have the job?" I joked, making her laugh.

"So, what makes you qualified to teach a first-grade class?" she asked, looking at me. I nodded and gulped.

"Well, I started my teaching degree at university, which led to a teachers' assistant position, and I have a small daughter and obviously another baby on the way so I know how to deal with little kids." I smiled.

"I'd hope so, some of our students are little trouble makers." She chuckled.

"So, where do you live now?" she asked.

"Our family is based in Scranton." I nodded, hands on my bump.

"Oh wow, that's a long drive." She chuckled.

"Um, yeah I guess it is." I nodded, my smile dipping as I started to think.

I gulped as I thought, my hands on the steering wheel as I drove to Jim's office.

"I can't remember exactly what the teacher said, but something about our conversation made me doubt everything." I scoffed and shook my head, tears pricking my eyes.

"I just...this doesn't feel right. And Jim needs to know that." I nodded, a tear leaving my eye as I continued to drive.

I walked into Jim's office and looked around.

"Mrs Halpert." I turned around and smiled as Jim's assistant walked towards me.

"Hey, how you doing?" I asked, resting my hands on my bump.

"I'm good, Jim is good, but what about you? You must be, what, eight months now?" she asked.

"Yes, actually." I nodded, smiling as she chuckled.

"He's in his office, just go through when you're ready." She spoke.

"Thanks." I smiled before walking into his office. He looked up at me as I walked in.

"Hey you." Jim smiled as I eased myself into the chair.

"Hey." I chuckled.

"How did the interview go?" he asked. I nodded and looked down.

"Aww babe, it's okay, there'll be more." He sighed.

"That's not it, Jim." I shook my head. He looked at me.

"What do you mean?" he chuckled. I gulped and looked at him.

"I can't do this." I admitted. His eyebrows furrowed.

"You can't do what?" he asked.

"I can't move our entire lives to Philly." I gulped. His face dropped and he scoffed slightly.

"But everything is set up, everything is ready to go here. Why do you think I got you that job interview?" he asked.

"I know, but the more I think about it, the more I can't do it. Our whole lives are in Scranton. We fell in love in Scranton. The kids were conceived there. Cece was born there, and Philip will be too. I know this is huge to you, but I can't leave all that behind." I choked. Jim looked at me with heartbroken eyes before nodding and looking down again.

"Okay." He mumbled.

"Is that all you're going to say?" I asked. He scoffed and looked at me.

"What am I meant to say, Y/N? My wife, who is meant to stick by me no matter what, has just told me she's not willing to move herself and my children here for my company. Do you have any idea how selfish that is?" he shook his head. My eyes widened and I sat up slightly, holding my bump.

"I'm the selfish one? Jim, you didn't even tell me about the company until three months after you'd invested, I thought you were cheating for God's sake. I haven't had a single say in this entire thing, you've just expected me to blindly follow you into the dark, and you seem to have forgotten that this doesn't just uproot your life, it also uproots the lives of your wife and children. They're my children too, and I have to think about what's best for the three of us, because you're too busy thinking solely about what's best for you." I nodded, tears flooding down my cheeks. Jim choked, tears leaving his eyes too at my words. I sighed and slumped back into my chair, refusing to meet his gaze.

"Um, thank you for being honest with me. I needed that." He admitted quietly, nodding as he wiped the tears away. I shook my head as I eased myself up.

"I should get going, I said I'd collect Cece at five." I mumbled. Jim nodded and looked at me.

"Say hi to her for me." He spoke.

"I will." I muttered, nodding as I grabbed my bag and rushed out of the room.
