Cathy
"So, my replacement for maternity leave arrives today, and I have to train her." I nodded, hands against my bump.
"Which I think is far too early, considering you're only six months pregnant." Jim spoke, looking at me.
"Michael said she could start now, so he hired her now." I replied.
"I also don't know why you need a replacement, you didn't have one when you went on maternity leave with Cece." Jim shrugged. I narrowed my eyes.
"Hm. I don't know why either, come to think of it." I spoke, making Jim chuckle.
I sat at my desk, typing out my sales.
"Hey, I'm Cathy, I'm the new temp." I turned around in my chair and my eyes widened slightly as a cute young woman stood at reception.
"Ah, yes, Y/N." Pam spoke, looking at me. I nodded and stood up, holding my bump as I walked towards reception.
"You must be Cathy." I smiled, extending my hand.
"And you must be Y/N. Wow, you're very pregnant." She chuckled, shaking my hand.
"Actually, I'm only six months along." I smiled, cupping my bump.
"Really? You look further along. Or are you just having twins?" she smiled. My smile dipped as she said that.
"Um, no, just one baby in there." I chuckled nervously before turning to look at everyone.
"Um, so, welcome to the office, this is the sales team." I spoke, walking to the cluster of desks.
"That's Dwight, you'll get used to him soon enough." I chuckled, making Dwight roll his eyes.
"And this is Jim, my husband." I smiled, making Jim return it as he shook Cathy's hand.
"Ah, so you're responsible for this." She smiled, pointing to my bump.
"Guilty." He nodded, chuckling before smiling at me.
"So, this is my desk, and this'll be where you're based until I come back from maternity leave." I nodded.
"When do you leave for it?" she asked.
"Um...good question, Jim, when am I due again?" I asked.
"Um, June 23rd." he nodded.
"You don't know your own due date?" Cathy scoffed. My smile dipped slightly, as did Jim's as he looked at me.
"Well, we also have a young daughter at home so there's a lot to keep track of." I chuckled slightly, holding my bump.
"Not really." Cathy smiled. My smile dipped again and I looked at Jim.
"Okay, Y/N, I think we should be getting back to work." Jim nodded. I returned it.
"Yes, Cathy, that's your desk for the next three months, until I'm gone." I spoke, pointing to the empty desk next to Andy and Phyllis.
"Okay, thanks." She smiled before sitting down. I sighed and held my bump as I also sat down.
"Well that was intense." Jim chuckled nervously.
"It was." I nodded, chewing my lip.
"For the record, you do only look six months pregnant." He smiled. I chuckled and returned it.
"Thank you, babe." I smiled, making him blow me a kiss before starting his work again.
"What do I think of Cathy?" I asked. I sighed and rested my hand against my bump.
"I'm not gonna lie, I'm not a massive fan so far. She came in and said I looked more pregnant than I am, and then she was talking about me not knowing the due date-I don't know." I sighed, resting my head against my hand before looking down.
"I, erm, also don't like the way she was looking at Jim. She looks at him the way I do. Only difference is, I'm his wife, so I'm allowed to do that. She's not." I mumbled.
Jim's P.O.V
Jim walked into the kitchen and smiled as Cathy stood there.
"Hey. It's Jim, right?" she asked as he grabbed a mug and started to pour coffee into it.
"That's right." He nodded.
"And did Y/N say that you guys are married?" she asked.
"That is also correct." He chuckled, leaning against the counter.
"How long has that been going on?" she asked. Jim's eyebrows furrowed slightly at her question.
"Um...well, we've been together for three years, married for a year." He spoke, sipping his coffee.
"That's so neat. I can't wait to get married and have kids." She smiled.
"Well you're young, you have time. Do you have a boyfriend, or someone to start a family with?" he asked, sipping his coffee.
"Nope. I'm as single as Dwight." She chuckled. Jim returned it before digging out his phone and getting up a picture of Cece.
"That's my daughter, Cece. She's almost one and a half." He smiled, showing her the photo.
"Oh, my god, Jim, she's adorable." Cathy laughed, putting a hand on Jim's arm. His smile dipped and he looked into the camera.
"Okay, I'm gonna get back to work." He chuckled awkwardly before grabbing his coffee and leaving the kitchen.
Jim looked into the camera as his eyes wavered.
"It might be possible, that Y/N's replacement has a little crush on me." Jim nodded, chuckling nervously as he rubbed his fingers against his chin.
Y/N's P.O.V
I walked into the break room and smiled as everyone sat around.
"Shh, no one say anything." Kevin whispered.
"Kevin." Angela sighed. My eyebrows furrowed as I looked at them.
"Um, what's going on?" I chuckled nervously.
"Oh nothing, we were just talking about how hot Cathy is." Kevin smirked. My smile dipped.
"Yeah, I'll be happy to be looking at her instead of Y/N." Creed nodded.
"Excuse me?" I scoffed.
"Creed, that's Y/N, you idiot." Dwight scoffed.
"No, he's right, I'm sure it'll be great to be able to stare at lovely, young thin Cathy instead of 29-year-old fat, pregnant, bloated Y/N." I huffed.
"No, no, Y/N you're positively glowing." Oscar smiled.
"Thank you, Oscar, that's so kind." I chuckled, resting my hands against my bump.
"She's not glowing, she's just fat." Dwight mumbled.
"Okay." I nodded, sighing as I left the breakroom.
I walked back into the office and sat down before looking at Jim.
"So, what do you think of Cathy?" I asked, resting my hands against my bump. He looked at me.
"Seems nice enough. I mean, I'll only be here half the time because of Philly, but she's okay." He chuckled. I studied him.
"Do you think she's hot?" I asked. He raised his eyebrows at me.
"Sorry, what now?" he asked.
"Do you think she's hot? I've heard a lot of the guys, and some girls in the office, talking about how hot she is. So, what do you think?" I shrugged. He returned it and chuckled.
"No, I don't find her hot." He spoke.
"You're lying." I smiled.
"No, I'm not." He chuckled.
"Just admit she's hot, that's all I want." I spoke.
"Y/N, I'm not gonna say she's hot when I don't find her hot." He shrugged. I sighed.
"Fine. Have it your way." I spoke before going back to work.
Jim's P.O.V
"No, I'm not gonna tell my six months pregnant wife, who is currently very sensitive about her body, that I find her replacement hot, especially when said replacement may have a crush on me already and also said Y/N looks more pregnant than she is. No. I still want to be married by the time Cathy leaves." He chuckled.
