Cecelia Elizabeth Halpert
Jim's P.O.V
Jim walked out of Y/N's maternity room and smiled at the camera.
"Um, still no baby Halpert yet and Y/N's water broke 12 hours ago so she's been in labour for 19-no, 20 hours now." He chuckled, looking at his watch.
"Er, I passed out a couple times but all is okay, the baby will hopefully be here soon-."
"Mr Halpert?" he turned around to see Y/N's nurse.
"She's ready to push." She nodded.
"I'll be here in a sec." he smiled before looking at the camera.
"Alright. I'm about to have a baby." He laughed before rushing into the room.
Jim walked out into the waiting room of the maternity ward and smiled as everyone from the office sat there. Everyone looked at him.
"So? Is there a baby Halpert yet?" Oscar asked.
"There is." Jim nodded, laughing as everyone cheered.
"Cecelia Elizabeth Halpert is seven pounds two ounces, and twenty centimetres long, she's beautiful, and mother and daughter are doing great." He smiled, making everyone cheer again.
"Congratulations." Andy smiled.
"Yeah, we're really happy for you guys." Pam squealed.
"Well thank you everyone, now, Y/N is still resting so I'm gonna go spend time with her and our daughter so see you guys later." He smiled, making everyone say bye collectively as he walked back into the maternity ward.
Y/N's P.O.V
I lay in the hospital bed, cradling Cece in my arms as she slept. I looked up and smiled as Jim walked back in.
"How is everyone?" I asked.
"They're good. They're very happy to hear about Cece getting here safely." He smiled as he sat in the bed next to me.
"So am I. It took her long enough." I chuckled, making Jim smirk as he gently cradled her head with his hand.
"I just, I can't believe we created her. We created this tiny, precious, beautiful human being." He shook his head.
"I know. I can't believe I had her with you." I spoke. Jim looked at me.
"Is that a good thing?" he chuckled nervously.
"Of course it is. Four years ago, you were with Pam and I had a massive crush on you, which I didn't ever think I could pursue, let alone having you return those feelings. Yet here we are, a couple months away from getting married, and we have a baby girl together. It's perfect. Especially because it's happening with you." I whispered. Jim looked at me and smiled before gently leaning in and kissing me. I returned it, smiling into it. Suddenly, Cece's eyes fluttered open and a small cry left her lips, making Jim and I break the kiss.
"Aww baby, hey, hey, it's okay." Jim chuckled, gently taking her from me and getting off the bed.
"I hope she doesn't get into this habit of sleeping when we're awake and being awake when we're asleep." I spoke.
"Are you crazy, you're gonna jinx it, don't say that." Jim chuckled, making me smile.
"Okay, here we go, Cece, here we go, good girl." Jim nodded as he gently put her into the hospital crib. She fidgeted slightly in her blanket as he put her down and retracted his hands. He looked at me and smiled.
"Let's try get some sleep, okay? While she is." He chuckled as he got back into the bed with me.
"Yeah, that's a good idea." I nodded as I lay on my side so that Jim could spoon me. I smiled to myself as he gently curled his arm over my waist and pulled me closer.
"I love you, Y/N. So much." He mumbled, gently kissing my cheek.
"I love you too, Jim. Goodnight." I whispered before letting my eyes flutter shut.
Jim's P.O.V
"So, it's been six weeks since Cece was born, meaning my paternity leave ended and I came back to work today." Jim nodded as he looked into the camera.
"It was really tough leaving her this morning, I got used to just spending all day every day for the last month and a half with her and Y/N, and I loved it that way." He shrugged before his eyes wavered.
"But, I'm here to provide for my daughter and fiancé, and Y/N is with her for another six weeks and then she'll be here to provide for our daughter and me, so it's okay." He nodded, smiling into the camera.
Jim dug into his bag and took out the framed photo of Cece before putting it onto his desk. He smiled slightly as he looked at it.
"Who's that?" Dwight asked. Jim looked at him.
"Oh, I don't know, I just googled photos of babies and picked a random one." He shrugged. Dwight looked at him.
"Why would you do that?" he scoffed.
"Oh my god." Jim mumbled, holding his head in his hands.
"Who's that kid, Jim?" Dwight scoffed. Jim sighed.
"Funnily enough, that is Cece. You know, my baby. The one I've been off for the last six weeks to look after." Jim nodded.
"Where's Y/N?" Dwight asked.
"Still with Cece." Jim spoke, narrowing his eyes at him.
"Lazy." Dwight mumbled. Jim sighed and shook his head before getting back to work.
Jim sat at his desk, head against the wood as he slept. He shot up as a horn sounded. He looked at Dwight to see him holding the horn.
"What the hell, Dwight?" Jim mumbled, rubbing his eyes.
"You were sleeping at your desk when you should have been working." Dwight shrugged.
"Yeah, well, in case you didn't know, I have a newborn baby at home, who is really bad at sleeping when Y/N and I sleep so I've had about five hours sleep in the past week." Jim grumbled.
"Well you should have thought about that before you had a baby." Dwight shrugged. Jim looked at him.
"Funnily enough, Dwight, your sleep schedule doesn't really enter the decision when you're considering having a baby." Jim nodded.
Y/N's P.O.V
I opened the door to the office and pushed Cece's stroller in. Pam looked up and her eyes widened.
"Y/N...hey...how are you?" she gulped.
"Don't worry, I know I look awful." I sighed, looking at my unbrushed hair and dirty clothes.
"How's little Cece?" Pam smiled as she walked around and looked into the stroller.
"She's good, but she's slowly killing me and Jim." I joked, making Pam laugh as Jim walked in.
"Y/N?" he asked.
"Hey." I winced.
"What are you doing here?" he asked, smiling at Cece.
"She wasn't eating or sleeping, and I need a shower and a nap so badly but she won't stop crying whenever I put her down and I couldn't handle it, I'm sorry." I sighed.
"Hey, no, it's okay, I love seeing my two favourite girls at work." He chuckled as he gently picked up Cece and lay her against his shoulder, making her gurgle slightly.
"Good, because she hates me and loves you." I gulped. Jim looked at me.
"She doesn't hate you babe." He chuckled, his hand gently on Cece's back.
"Sure." I mumbled before sitting at my desk.
"So, Cece is really good at sleeping through the day, and really bad at sleeping through the night, which is really bad for mommy and daddy here because we're both extremely sleep deprived." Jim nodded, chuckling as he looked at me.
"I haven't slept in two months. I love her but I need her to just sleep." I groaned, resting my cheek against the palm of my hand.
"She will eventually. All the parenting books say that newborn babies are awful at sleeping until about six months, so we're not worrying yet." Jim smiled as I slowly closed my eyes.
"Hey, Mrs Halpert, wake up." He chuckled, gently nudging me and waking me up.
"I'm not Mrs Halpert yet." I mumbled.
"You will be soon." He chuckled before looking into the camera.
Jim's P.O.V
Jim sat at his desk, typing with one hand and gently rocking Cece's car seat back and forth with the other.
"Cece's a little teapot, short and stout." Jim sang softly.
"Here is her handle, here is her spout." He smiled, gently taking her hand and her foot before wiggling them, making her squeal.
"Why are you singing that to her?" Dwight mumbled.
"Because it's her favourite song." Jim shrugged.
"Pfft, babies have no concept of what they like or dislike. Singing to them is a futile activity that parents do." Dwight scoffed.
"What do parents do that's not futile, then? In your opinion." Jim nodded. Dwight thought for a minute.
"Nurturing the child. Changing their diaper. Feeding them." Dwight shrugged.
"Speaking of feeding, I think Cece is hungry." Jim cooed as he gently picked Cece up and cradled her as he dug into the baby bag.
"Now where did mommy put your bottle?" he mumbled to himself. He sighed and stood up, carefully holding Cece as he opened the door to the conference room.
"Y/N, where is Cece's-." Jim stopped as he saw Y/N asleep on the sofa, the blanket covering her slightly. He smiled gently before leaning down slightly and pulling the blanket further up Y/N's body. He stood back up and looked at Cece as he cradled her.
"We're gonna let mommy sleep, and daddy is gonna find the bottle, and we're gonna do this." Jim whispered, smiling down at Cece and looking at Y/N one last time before walking out and gently shutting the door.
"Y/N is an amazing mom." Jim smiled as he looked at the camera.
"She always gets up in the night for Cece since I have work, she's doing an incredible job of looking after her, she's just great. But even the best parents get sleep deprived so I figured I'd let her sleep while I took care of Cece." He nodded, smiling as he looked into the camera.
