Thanks for the reviews, guys! You all are awesome. Also, this chapter was inspired by Annie, who asked if there was going to be a baby-shopping chapter. Well, here it is!

September:

"Oh my God Pam, are you as excited as I am?" Kelly linked her arm through Pam's as she hauled her through the entrance of the Steamtown Mall.

"Oh, so totally." Pam said sarcastically. But she had to admit, she was a little excited. After all, she hadn't gone baby shopping since her sister had had her last little one. And that was about five years ago.

The first place Kelly dragged Pam to was Gymboree, a children's clothing store filled with "super lovable completely awesome" baby clothes. Pam and Kelly both marveled at the tiny dresses that Kelly pulled off of each rack.

"These are so adorable," Pam said as she examined a frilly pink dress with matching pink socks and headband with pink roses. "But you should probably stick with neutral colors like green and yellow until you're absolutely sure."

Kelly rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah." Then she spotted a cute little onesie plastered with tiny teddy bear faces. "Ohmygod Pam!" She held it up and squealed.

"Look at this one!" Pam picked up a similar onesie covered in rubber duckies.

"That is awesome." Kelly shoved both of them into her shopping basket.

They spent another hour cooing over the miniature dresses and little outfits. Halfway through, Kelly filled up one hand basket and Pam had to grab another. By the time they'd finished, Pam had talked Kelly out of a tiny pair of pink fuzzy boots and a baby hat with bunny ears on it and both baskets were overflowing. Kelly dumped them on the counter in front of the clerk, whose ever-present smile wavered just a little.

"Congratulations," she said to Kelly as she scanned each item.

"Thanks." Kelly said. "I'm so totally excited, even though I feel so icky most of the time and I'm starting to get totally fat. But babies are awesome! Have you seen the new pictures of Brangelina's kids? I totally want that many babies but I don't know if I'm going to adopt or not because adopting is way too expensive but I'm pretty sure that's the only way I'm going to be able to have an Asian kid like Maddox or Pax unless I find some hot Asian dude but I totally don't know any so I don't think that'll happen. But I totally love Chinese food, so I think I would be a great mom to an Asian kid, don't you think?"

"Uh-huh," The clerk gave Pam a helpless look, but she just smiled knowingly.

Kelly didn't stop talking until the clerk handed her the shopping bags and stated, "Have a nice day." Then she bounced out clutching three giant bags and announced to Pam that they should totally get something to eat because she was like, starving.

After Kelly had plopped down and devoured her chicken sandwich and a side salad (covered in some orange marmalade she'd kept in her purse), and Pam had finished her Caesar salad with extra croutons, they started digging through the bags to see what exactly they'd gotten.

Pam had managed to convince Kelly to stick with mostly yellow, green and white (although Kelly had thrown in some lavender onesies, a few strawberry-covered bibs and an adorable lavender dress, complete with matching silk head band and tiny lavender socks. As she'd told Pam, "If this baby is going to have my complexion, which she so will, she will look totally hot in lavender.")

As it was, Kelly's baby now had enough clothes to last at least a year. (Pam had also convinced her that buying everything in newborn sizes was a bad idea, since babies grow so quickly. So Kelly had bought a lot of the clothes in 3-6 and 9-12 months as well.)

They had also bought an abundance of bibs, blankets, rattles, socks, a teddy bear, a rubber duck set, and some baby Converse All-Stars. (Thankfully in black, not pink.)

Pam was laughing at Kelly, who was holding up the duckie onesie, an actual rubber duckie and singing the accompanying song, when a familiar petite blonde strode by, stopped, turned and stared at the two of them. Pam's eyes widened as Angela stalked up to the table.

Kelly cut Angela off before she could to speak, "Look, before you say anything, Angela," She said, the rubber duckie in her hand squeaking with every word, "Yes, I know, I'm totally whorish or whatever. But you better keep your tight-ass little mouth shut about this at work, because Ryan doesn't know, and I would really like to keep it that way. And you and I both know that if Michael finds out, Ryan will be the first one he calls. And I totally do not want to deal with that."

"I'm glad that you're admitting that you are living in sin," Angela stated coldly. "That is the first step toward forgiveness."

"Please don't say anything, Angela." Then Pam leveled her eyes with the blonde. "Some secrets are better kept quiet, aren't they?"

Angela stared hard at Pam for a moment. "Fine." She gave Kelly another disgusted look. "I will keep this quiet. For now." Then she huffed off in the direction of the American Doll store.

"See ya Monday!" Kelly called after her. "What a bitch," she whispered to Pam.

"This isn't good," Pam said quietly, thinking of Dwight and his dog-like obedience to Michael.

"So what was that whole secrets thing about?" Kelly asked. "I totally didn't get it."

"Nothing," Pam crumpled up her napkin and tossed in onto her tray. "You wanna go by Boscov's?"

"Absolutely," Kelly brightened up. "Can we hit Victoria Secret's too? Because I totally need a new bra, this one hurts like a bitch. On the plus side, I think my boobs might have grown, isn't that great? Oh, and I've already got this crib I found at the furniture store downtown? It's white and totally amazing. And I've got an awesome theme in mind for her room. What do you think of this?" Kelly paused dramatically. "Finding Nemo meets Making the Band. Imagine it: Danity Kane underwater. Do you think they have stick-on wall things at the Disney Store?"

Pam just laughed.
