At the office it was nearly closing time. Ryan quickly parked up front before jogging up the stairs. A young girl named Anne was filling in for Pam at the front desk and looked very out of place as she flipped through a mystery novel.

The AC was on full blast and everyone looked as though they were ready to wrap up and go home. Rushing inside Anne looked up and smiled.

"Hi Ryan."

"Hey Anne…"

Ryan quickly went to his desk began searching for the file before he noticed Dwight's eyes on him.

"Hi Dwight."

"Find the file?"

"I'm looking Dwight."

"Good, Michael put me in charge of putting a new system in…I'm thinking ABC order."

"Isn't it all ready in ABC order?"

Dwight just stared up him. Getting the file, which was stuck between two different folders, Ryan quickly handed it to Dwight.

"Here."

"Oh Good."

Dwight studied the file before Ryan looked over his shoulder and saw Michael's office empty.

"Where's Michael?"

"Downstairs…their giving away free cotton candy."

"Oh…how did I miss that."

Dwight then leaned back in his chair giving Ryan a creepy grin.

"So…did Pam give birth yet?"

"Nope, still waiting."

Ryan locked up his draws as he began getting ready to leave again. He really didn't like the idea of leaving Pam alone, most of all when her due date was coming so close.

"You excited?"

"Yeah."

"Are you really excited?"

"Yep."

"Are you super excited?"

Ryan just stared at Dwight before Kelly ran over, throwing her arms around him.

"Oh my God Ryan how's Pam?!"

Sighing, Ryan looked up at the clock and knew this would take longer then a half an hour.

Nearly an hour finally past when Ryan finally was able to pull himself away as everyone began getting their things and heading down to the parking-lot. Michael met Ryan on the stairs and took up most of his time talking with him and asking personal questions about Pam.

"So…is she having it natural? Aren't you grossed out? How's the sex life been?"

Finally Ryan was able to get to his car and head back to his place. By then the sun was nearly down and the sky was giving off a beautiful purple blueish color to it. Driving Ryan couldn't help but laugh. If he played his cards right he really might be up for that promotion that was in the talks. Thinking of finally breaking away from this dull and crazy office seemed wonderful. Driving home Ryan dreamed that maybe if he did get it that he would move Pam and the baby into a huge apartment, the best there was and give them everything they ever wanted. He thought of finally being a success, where people respected him and didn't call him 'temp' or made fun of him for not making a sale. Thinking of living in New York with Pam and their daughter made him grin before reaching the condos.

All of that shattered the moment he opened the door.

Rusty was at him right away jumping up and barking, which wasn't normal.

"Whoa! Easy boy!"

Rusty, who usually spent his days sleeping on the carpet now showed as much energy as a puppy. For a long time Ryan had worried that he might jump up at Pam and hurt the baby, but Pam laughed this off. If Rusty ever jumped up on anyone it would be a miracle.

The dog kept barking as Ryan made his way down the hallway.

"Pam?"

Maybe she had fallen asleep, she did say something about her back hurting.

Then Ryan froze.

Pam was on the kitchen floor in what looked to be a puddle of blood, it streaked all over in places where she tried to get up and reach the phone. She looked as though she lost color and seemed to be in pain.

"Ryan?"

She weakly said.

Ryan's eyes widened before he ran over, nearly skidding in the blood.

Blood…so much blood.

His mind began to spin.

"The baby…"

She said weakly before snapping her eyes shut.

"Ah! It hurts!"

Right away held onto her and took the cell phone out of his pocket, his hands shaking badly he dialed 911.

"Hello? This is a emergency…my fiancé' is pregnant and she's bleeding…"

Pam laid in his eyes before crying out again, looking down Ryan felt helpless.

"Jim!"

She faintly cried out as Ryan listened to the operator tell him an ambulance was on it's way.

Nearly fifteen minutes later Ryan stood in a hospital corridor getting into scrubs. The entire ambulance ride was a complete blur. Pam kept crying out at the top of her lungs saying it hurt. On the way there her water broke and her heart rate began to go all over the place. The paramedics placed an oxygen mask over her and watched her pressure as Ryan gripped her hand, looking at the blood down her legs made him feel sick.

Once they reached the hospital a bunch of orderlies rushed her away, a nurse forced him to fill out some paperwork quickly before Ryan grabbed his cell and called Pam's parents. Just hearing Pam's mother's voice made him terrified. The moment he told her she was bleeding she sounded worried.

In almost a daze, Ryan remembered the first time when she started bleeding. How scared he was and how they rushed her up to the same exact hospital that he now stood in. Feeling as though he was dreaming, Ryan thought of the last nine months and how much he had really fallen in love with Pam.

Thinking of Halloween night, he thought that was the best mistake he could of ever made.

But still…he had this awful feeling she really didn't love him. Thinking of how she cried out Jim's name sent a horrible feeling of rage though him. He hated Jim and wanted him dead.

Finally a nurse lead him to the delivery room, it seemed as though she was ready.

"This happening too fast."

Ryan thought to himself. He thought labor took hours. Somehow this was finally happening and reality was setting in. He was going to be a father.

He felt so scared and so young.

What if something happened?

Feeling his insides shake they lead him into the delivery room where Ryan's heart nearly broke.

Pam was in a hospital grown with what looked like a hairnet over her beautiful red hair. Sweat was rolling down her face and she was crying as the nurses hooked monitors up to her. The doctor sat at the end of the delivery table trying to get her to relax.

One of the nurses gently took Pam's arm.

"See…there he is."

Pam who was breathing heavy, trying her best to catch her breath looked over and her eyes seemed to light up. Leading him over to her, the nurse smiled.

"She kept asking for you."

Ryan looked down at Pam who looked to be in horrible pain.

"Ryan…oh Ryan help me! Help me please!"

Ryan finally snapped out of his daze. Jim wasn't here…Jim was living his life somewhere else. He finally wanted Pam to see this. That he was here for her…not Jim. Taking her hand, Ryan kneeled down and kissed her forehead.

"It's okay baby…Shhhh, you're going to be fine."

"It hhh-hurts!"

Pam began crying before the nurse injected something into her IV. Gripping her hands and kissing them, Ryan nuzzled his head against hers.

Finally the doctor wheeled his stool over to Pam.

"Okay Pam, you're going to need to start pushing."

Pam's scared eyes stared up at Ryan before he forced a smile.

"Come on Pam, you can do this."

Tears of pain rolling down her face, Pam snapped her eyes shut and began to push.
