Ryan picked up Kelly from the hospital, and after taking her home to shower and change, took her to Dunder Miffin. She'd never imagined missing her coworkers the way she had, but indeed she had found herself wanting to be surrounded by her coworkers on her first day out of the hospital. She and Ryan hadn't said much during the short ride there, but just his presence was comforting. There was so much for her to be grateful for- her job, her sanity, Ryan, and most importantly, the baby. This was all happening so fast that Kelly wasn't quite sure she could process all of it. But indeed it was all real, and so she walked into the building, not quite sure of what she could expect.

Erin was the first to greet her with a tearful hello and a hug. Erin didn't want to let go, for she had so much to tell her friend. Most of all she wanted to tell Kelly how much she was missed and loved, but she also wanted to tell her about Andy. Things with him were proceding rather quickly, and Erin knew that Kelly would know what to do. Maybe Kelly was having trouble processing her own relationship, but she always had the answers for everyone else. Not now, Erin decided. Maybe later. There would be time, lots of time. And for that, Erin was truly grateful.

Next to greet her was Andy, who'd been casually hanging around the receptionist's desk. He embraced Kelly and told a few jokes. Kelly smiled politely, but moved on around. She saw that Michael was running out of his office to greet her, so she prepared herself.

She wasn't quite sure what to expect. She vaguely remembered him being there during her first few days, and for that she was grateful. She had no idea of how Michael had really felt about her until this very moment. They'd had a rocky relationship, but all in all he was a good hearted person, a good boss, and a decent human being. The look of excitement on his face told Kelly all she needed to know of what to expect from this moment.

"Kelly Kelly bo Kelly...welcome back! Let me reassure you the place was not the same without you. You have been missed, and it's great to see that Ryan has stepped up to the bat. We wasn't sure that he would, but I always knew he would. I know you two have a lot to work out, but for right now, you're home, and there is so much to tell you."

"Like what?" Kelly asked excitedly.

"Well for one thing Erin and Andy are now a couple. Our own Dwight Shrute is engaged to be married, to none other than our own Angela Martin. And most importantly, Holly Flax and I are now a couple."

"You and Holly? Wow, that's exciting!" Kelly declared.

"Yes, it is, and for that I have to thank you. If you hadn't done what you had done then none of us would have realized what is important in life. So thank you, Kelly Kapoor, for showing us the light. Embrace the light, so to speak. We all have light in our lives thanks to you and Ryan."

Kelly smiled. This was all too much, too soon, but she didn't care. She and Ryan were about to become a family, and she could hardly wait to tell everyone. "Well, I'm so happy for all of you. Andy, what took you so long?" she smiled at her coworker. Then she decided to forgive Michael for all of his past misdeeds and hugged him. "I'm so happy for you Michael. It's so nice to know that love triumphs all, isn't it?"

"Look at you and Ryan," Michael pointed out. "Everyone here knows what a b bag he is,"

Kelly looked at Ryan, who just shrugged.

"But," Michael continued. "True love won out for the two of you. I, for one, couldn't be happier. And in your honor we have thrown a party."

Everyone followed him into the conference room, where there indeed was a party in Kelly's honor.

"A party? For me?" She shrieked in excitement.

"Not just for you. For Ryan, too. For we know how hard it was for him to come through for you. But he did. And now look at you. Is there any big news you have to share?" Michael grinned like a school child.

"As a matter of fact," Kelly responded calmly. "We do have some news to share."

"I knew it!" Michael jumped around. "You and Ryan are getting married! I knew you two would beat Angela and Dwight to the altar. Ha!"

"We're not engaged," Ryan responded calmly.

"What could be as big as that? Now I see why Kelly did what she did. You got all of our hopes up. Maybe we'll all be in the hospital tonight, all thanks to you, Ryan," Michael pouted.

Kelly couldn't wait any longer. "Ryan and I are having a baby!"

The room grew quiet with disbelief. They all knew how Ryan felt about kids, especially kids with Kelly, and so they all turned to Ryan for his response.

"It's true. The doctor told us so. We're going in for an ultrasound next week."

"Another bastard child. Just what this office needs," Angela muttered before returning to her work station.

Oscar approached Kelly. "I, for one, couldn't be happier for you both. I wish you all the best and I just know that this baby will turn out all right."

"Why wouldn't it?" Kelly asked suspiciously. "Are you saying that because I went crazy I might have a crazy kid?"

"No," Oscar put his hand on her shoulder. "We just know that this baby is a... a blessing. Congratulations you two, I couldn't be more thrilled for you."

She hugged Oscar. "I remember," she whispered. He looked at her in surprise. So he was right, comatose patients did recall things and people about their enviroment.

"It was all Toby. He insisted we visit you as often as possible," Oscar replied calmly with a knowing look on his face.

Kelly turned to Toby. "You were there for me?"

"I didn't do all that much. I just...I just brought flowers. I didn't want you to be alone," he commented slowly as he scratched behind his ear, one of his many nervous tics.

She ran up to him and kissed him on the cheek, catching Toby off guard. "Thank you."

Before he could respond Kelly ran back to Ryan, embracing him excitedly. "Oh, Ryan, I told you everything would be all right. They are all so happy for us. They believe in us, and finally you do too. It was like, so hard waiting on you, but I'm so glad I did. Look at us! Look at everyone. And you don't believe in happy endings," she pouted.

So the office buzzed with excitement the entire day, with no one really getting much accomplished, but that was okay with Michael. Kelly was okay, and there would be a Dunder Mifflin baby, so he couldn't have been happier. He felt like in some cosmic way that he had played a part in Kelly and Ryan's happiness, so he was feeling pretty good about himself. He'd called Holly and told her the news, and she basked in her boyfriend's joy. Now there was no doubt that she'd done the right thing by breaking up with AJ, because in her heart she knew that that would be her and Michael. Some day, of course.

Kelly was feeling a little overwhelmed by all the greetings, so she slipped back to the annex for a moment of peace. She needed to catch her breath, she'd been talking so much. Everyone had gone out of their way to be kind to her, and even though she knew it was partly out of pity, she didn't really care. She was happy, she was going to be a mother, and she and Ryan were going to work things out. Ryan loved her! He had finally told her that. If you would have told Kelly that all of this would be the result of a drastic action on her part, she never would have believed her. She had always believed in happy endings, and it looked like she was going to get hers after all.

Of course she wished Ryan would propose. It seemed like that was the natural next step. But one thing she had learned in her counseling was to keep her expectations in check. It was hard not to get caught up in the fantasy of having a family of her own to love, but first things first. Ryan had loved her after all, and she was happy with that. One day at a time, she reminded herself. Ryan loved her and they were having a baby, and now nothing stood in the way of their happiness.
