A/N: For thoes who think Jim will find out that she's pregnant in this chapter...he won't. I will tell you this though...later on he will return to Scranton and Pam will already have had the baby. I already have that chapter done but it won't be until chapter 18 or so. Just stick with it and it will be here before you know it.

FYI: I have through chapter 16 completed.

not like you: This will be the first time that we will hear from Jim.

dancer288: Thanks for the review.

Kellie Stults: Thanks so much for reviewing. As for Jim thinking it's Ryan's baby...you will have to wait later on in the story to find out.

reaganmariesmith: Well, Jim doesn't know anything about the pregnancy yet and he won't for a while.

bmr10: Here's the update.

Chapter 10.

Pam snuggled into the embrace of the arms that were around her. A smile came to her face but as soon as it came, it dropped and her eyes snapped open. Why were there arms around her? She knew by the weight of the arm that it wasn't Roy…thank god. Slowly, Pam turned her head and saw that it was Ryan, who was lying behind her. Pam sighed in relief it was only Ryan.

"RYAN!" She exclaimed not remembering how she even got home. Ryan popped up and looked around confused. His clothes were all wrinkled and his hair sticking up all over the place.

"What…what's wrong," he seemed to be in a slight daze.

"Why are you in bed with me…when did we get here," she had many questions running through her head.

"I must have fallen sleep," he said. She looked at him questioningly and he nodded "You asked me to stay until you fell asleep and I don't know, I must have fallen asleep as well."

"I don't think I even woke up one time last night," she said more to herself then to him.

"You fell asleep on my couch but I got you home. I thought that you would be more comfortable here then…at my place." Ryan told her although his last part was just above a whisper.

"Thanks, you are such a mess," she told him.

"Well, I can't look good all time," he said with a shrug.

"You look good all time? You could have fooled me," She said trying to be as serious as she could.

"Ouch, you sure know how to hurt a guy's self-esteem." She watched him scoot to the edge of the bed and went for his shoes on the floor. Laughing to herself, she got behind him and hugged him.

"Did I hurt your feelings," she said as if she was talking to a little kid. "I'm sorry."

"No, your not," he told her.

"You're right, I'm not," with a laugh she fell back on the bed as he turned around and started to tickle her. "Okay…I'm…sorry," she said between laughs.

"Are you really sorry?" he asked still tickling her and she nodded he head vigorously.

While he was tickling her, Pam's knee jerked up and got him in the side, making him fall forward. Ryan caught himself before he landed right on, top of her everything around seemed not to exist. On instinct, he started to move forward towards her as if to kiss her. Something in the back of his mind told him to stop but he couldn't.

"Ryan," Pam said getting herself out from under him.

Ryan stood up abruptly fully understanding what he about to do. He just made a fool of himself and she probably would feel weird around him now. This was the last thing that he wanted.

"Pam, I'm so, so sorry. I can't believe that I would do that," he said.

"No, it's fine. I think we were both just caught up in the moment and one of us had enough strength to pull away." Pam said and he wondered if she wanted it to happen. That was almost what it sounded like.

"Well, I think I should go now," he said while putting his shoes on quickly.

"You don't have to go, Ryan." Pam said.

"No, I should go. My mom is visiting to today and I should just get going," he explained. He wanted to stay here with her, he really did but he also just wanted to go and hide.

"You don't have to lie to me. If you don't want to be around me then just tell me," she snapped.

"I'm not lying I swear. If you want to meet her then you come over," he told her true fully.

"I'm sorry," she apologized.

Ryan walked out of her bedroom and Pam followed him to her front door.

"Are you going to come over tonight?" She asked.

Pam couldn't believe how desperate she sounded. She just made him feel like a complete idiot of course he wouldn't want to come over again anytime soon. She almost wished that she just let the kiss happen. She would be lying to herself if she said that she didn't want it to happen.

"It depends on what time my mom leaves. I'll try," he told her.

"Okay, bye," she said quickly shutting the door even before he walked away.

Pam decided that she was just going to forget about what happened and move on with the day. After she got ready, Pam checked her mail, she only saw junk mail and a letter…it was from Jim. She wanted to open it but she was also tempted to throw it away. Sitting down she opened it slowly and it silently to herself. It read……

Dear Pam,

I know that it has been awhile since we talked but I just wanted to see how you were doing. I've talked to Toby a few times; he doesn't seem to want to talk about you. I have a feeling that something is going on and I don't know what it is.

I guess I should just take the hint that you don't want to talk to me since you didn't call me. Although, I don't even know if Ryan even told you. Since you two seemed close, I just figured that he would. However, when he and I talked he didn't seem to be my biggest fan.

Pam didn't know what he was talking about. Was Ryan hiding something that she should know about? Pam just skimmed through rest of the letter but she really didn't read it. What did Ryan and Jim talk about?

"Do I get to meet her?" Cheryl, Ryan's mom asked.

"Do you get to meet who?" Ryan asked giving her a glass of water.

"Don't play that game. I'm talking about Pam, the woman you never stop talking about." She teased.

"I do not always talk about her," Ryan did his best to deny everything that his mom had just said.

"Well, every time that we talk…which isn't much," she said with a hard look. "You always bring her name up in our conversations. Why don't you just ask her out?"

"It's not like that mom," Ryan sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Besides, I just screwed that up bad." His mother didn't say anything and just sat there looking at him waiting for an explanation. "I tried to kiss her and now it's weird."

"So," she commented. "You tried to kiss her; it's not that big of deal. It's obvious that you two like each other…try again."

"Mom, I'm not talking about this and especially not with you. I'm not going to try anything like that again…it was just a lapse in judgment." Ryan said. "It won't happen again."

Later that night, Pam had called Ryan and asked him to come over as soon as he could. He told her that his mom would be leaving soon and then come over and she couldn't wait. She was about to have it out with him. How dare he lie to her all this time.

She heard a knock at the door and the door handle turn. As the door opened Ryan walked through, by the look on his face she knew that he could tell that she was not happy. Without say a word, Pam stood up and threw the letter that Jim wrote to her at him. Ryan just stared at her and she motioned for him to read it.

"You talked to him?" She asked as he read the letter. "Why didn't you tell me that he wanted to talk to me? Why would you keep this from me?"

"He was just going to upset you," he told her calmly.

"UPSET ME!" she yelled. "What do you think that you're doing now? You had no right to do that. What did you two talk about?"

"Nothing. It's nothing that you needed to know," he told her.

"Ryan, tell me," Pam demanded.

"He came back to tell you that he had a girlfriend, alright," he said loudly. "He said that he wanted to tell you before you heard it from someone else. You were already upset and stressed. I didn't want you to worry about that."

"It should have been my choice whether or not I wanted to talk to him. You can't do it for me. It's none of your business what goes on in my life anyway," Pam realized what she had said and felt really bad.

"Alright," Ryan said and nodded his head.

"Ryan, I didn't mean that. I'm so sorry," Pam told him and she started to cry. "I didn't mean it, I swear."

Ryan walked over to her and took her in his arms. As he held her close to him, he kissed the top of her head.

"I'm sorry," she cried again.

"I know," he told her. "I know you didn't mean it."

"Ryan, will you stay the night with me?" Pam asked him in a quite voice.

"What?" He asked he was confused.

"The truth is… I got the best night sleep I've had in awhile when you were with me." She told him. "Will you?"

"We can try it again," He said and looked down at her. She seemed to have relaxed at his answer. "I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about Jim."

"It's okay, you did what you thought was the best." she said.

"What are you going to do? Are you going to write him back?" He asked hoping that she would tell him no. That she wanted nothing to do with him anymore.

"I'm not sure yet." She answered. As Pam took his hand, Ryan followed her into the bedroom.

As she crawled to her side of the bed, Ryan laid down next to her. He felt more awkward this time then the last because she was now aware of him there. Her words stung, even if she didn't mean it, they still hurt. He would just have to come to term with the fact that Jim would always be in the picture.

Spoiler:

Someone has to go to the hospital.

I hope to update Saturday or Sunday.
