It was announced last week that Jenna Fischer’s real-life pregnancy would be written into the new season of The Office, meaning the Halperts have baby No. 2 on the way. But here’s a twist we didn’t see coming…Pam’s not the only pregnant character this season. Yes, there will be two moms-to-be.
Office actor Creed Bratton spilled the beans at Monday night’s star-filled NBC party during the Television Critics Association Press Tour, taking place in Los Angeles. “Yes, someone else is pregnant, and it’s not me,” he said with a smile.
Well, that’s one down. But what about the other suspects? Some of the show’s leading ladies — Angela Kinsey, Kate Flannery, and Ellie Kemper — were equally as mum when pressed for more. “It’s not James Spader,” Flannery said.
Kinsey offered a (FAKE!) spoiler: “It’s the lady in the warehouse. It’s Madge.” Kemper added: “I would love that!” Um, so would I.
Now taking official guesses, readers! Who is the second character with child?

Dwight and Angela finally have a baby together
Writers, please ABORT all pregnancy storylines, for the love of god. They’re getting so damn old.
I know. This feels very been there done that. I did not like the first pregnancy story that much and now another one…
This show has jumped the shark
Its Shark Week.
Using “jumped the shark” in a comment jumped the shark 6 years ago.
Declaring that the use of the phrase “jumped the shark” has jumped the shark x years ago has jumped the shark.
You guys, IT’S SHARK WEEK.
As long as the babies are never in a scene. Once they start being involved as more than a one liner, I’m out. Same with kids under 12. Throw in another potted plant…
Kelly and Ryan? LOL
From officetally.com:
Angela tweets: “Our 1st Season 8 tableread was yesterday! Spader crushed it! Hilarious! And Pam and Angela have a fun frenemies story line!”
Frenemies makes me think Angela is pregnant and is mad that Pam is pregnant again
Angela’s pregnant with a gay [senator's] baby
I hope not..way too soap opera-ish.
STATE senator
DO WANT
yep, that’s probably it.

Frenemies makes me think Angela is pregnant and is mad that Pam is pregnant again, during her pregnancy no less
Didn’t mean to repost that whole thing just the last part
I think it is Angela too. Wonder if Dwight is the daddy?
No, it’s the gay state senator that isn’t sleeping with her’s baby.
good God end it already
You first.
Best reply ever
Kelly.
It’s probably Angela pregnant with Dwight’s baby, but the senator will want to pass it off as his.
I’m pulling for Bob Vance, Jr., Vance Refrigeration.
Me too!
“Bob Vance, Jr., Vance Refrigeration” — VERY funny, Jess!
And will we ever hear more about The Strangler? I still say Creed is The Strangler.
Meredith got pregnant in a drunken one night stand. ..could you see her as a mother? LOL
she already is a mother. her son was in the take your daughter to work day episode in season 2 or 3, and it has been revealed that she also has another child that her ex-husband has custody of. i thik the line was “he took the good one.”
Can’t be Meredith…she had a hysterectomy
…though she still has a vagina.
@trish: Too awesome! I love The Office.
If it is Dwight and Angela who are having a child, does this mean we will finally get to see a Shrute child learn “the rules” I have the song now stuck in my head:
Learn your rules
Learn your rules
Or you’ll get eaten in your sleep.
(apologies if not completely accurate song lyrics)
Learn your rules
You better learn your rules
If you don’t
You’ll be eaten in you sleep (rawr)
I hope the gay senator is the daddy so maybe Jack Coleman comes back.
phillis
Could it maybe be Holly? They could maybe just mention she’s pregnant since I doubt Steve Carrell or Amy Ryan would come back anytime soon.
I think it is probably Angela but I hope it is Kelly. How ridiculous would that be?
