A/N - Ok - Sorry I made you wait a day for the tiny little epi! I had some false labor yesterday, and after they sent me home, I napped all day. :)
So here is the happy ending we JAM fans like to have... I hope it isnt too fluffy considering the angsty story you just read!
Tomorrow is baby day! Some reviews will help me keep my mind off it!! hint, hint, nudge, nudge!
Jim rubbed the sweat off his hands. Tonight marked the one year anniversary of Pam moving in with him, and changing his world forever.
He looked around the apartment; he'd rearranged everything at least four times already. There were candles and rose petals all over, the coffee table was stacked with vases, holding a total of three hundred and sixty five pink roses.
He'd become the number two at the office, and had sealed three major accounts in the last three months, enough to ensure the branch would not be falling under any time soon. Pam had found a job at local art gallery. It wasn't exactly full time and didn't pay well, but he'd never seen Pam happier in all the years he'd known her.
Hey heard a key in the door and he stood quickly, smoothing out his jacket. Pam had been at an art show and he'd feigned sickness to stay home and plan his surprise.
Pam walked in and her eyes grew huge as she saw the roses and the candles.
"Happy moving in with me anniversary!" Jim smiled as he walked over and took her hand.
"Oh...Jim..." She breathed softly.
He led her to the couch and sat next to her, her hands still inside his.
"Pam, I love you more than life itself. I never thought I could love anyone the way I love you."
Pam's heart caught in her throat.
"I know we've had a tough year, but we made it through it all together. The night you moved in here changed my life forever. It was never the way I expected you to end up in my arms, but I do know that I never want you to leave them."
Pam wiped a tear from her cheek.
"Colby! Come see mom!" Jim called out.
Pam was confused for a moment but greeted Colby and he jumped up on the couch.
"Hey baby... what do you have here?" She smiled, twirling the ribbon Jim had tied around his collar. "Oh my God..."
Jim smiled as he watched Pam move the diamond ring around her fingers. He reached over and untied the ribbon, releasing the ring into the palm of his hand.
He stood up, only to kneel down. He held the ring out in front of him as his eyes filled with tears.
"Pam, I love you, I can't imagine my life without you." His voice started to crack as he spoke.
"Before I met you I was simply existing, you have made me so incredibly happy and have changed my life in ways I never expected. I never want to know what life is like without you again." He paused, wiping the tears from his face. "Will you marry me?"
Pam sat there shocked, tears flowing freely. She quickly nodded and Jim slipped the ring onto her finger.
"I love you..." She whispered as she leaned in and kissed him gently.
"I love you more." Jim's lips smiled against hers.
He knew it wouldn't be happily ever after but it would be damn close.
