(( no specific timeline; closed ))
It wasn't easy for Morph to pay the visit to the City Office again. To him, the place only associated with the day he and Brady got married. He could almost see their ghost-like memory figures walking down the halls, happy and in love. His heart clenched, but he focused on the nearest elevator, walking in and pressing the button to go to the fifth floor, trying to think of nothing but the floor number ticking.
In a few seconds, he was already entering the waiting room of the office where people applied for financial aid for single parents. He was sure everybody in the room stared at him as he walked in, with Mark snoozing in the sling on his chest, as he realized he was the only male out of about eight people in the room.
He walked towards the table with the blank forms, got one and sat down in one of the chairs to fill out the form.

((Sometime after 'Shopping for Twins'))
Seer stood at the elevator for some time, her brother had dropped her off. She had told him that she'd call him when or if she'd need him to pick her back up. She didn't ever think she'd be at the City Hall for this, but here she was. She finally entered the elevator and pressed the button to the fifth floor. She went to the corner of the elevator and held onto the long handle that usually went along the walls of the lift. She had a fear of elevators, but it was better then taking the stairs and chancing something going wrong with her pregnancy.
She sighed in relief as she stepped out of the elevator and was soon entering the waiting room filled with nine people, plus a little one. She walked towards the table and took one of the blank forms and asked for a pen before she went to take a seat.
She hadn't planned on coming back to the City for some time, but this was a thing that needed to be done. Seer new that the Professor would help her, but she was an independent person, she always had been, well before Jamie anyway, and she had to do this on her own, now. That's why she was where she was, now, applying for single parent financial aid.
"Do you mind?" She asked in a whispered tone, as she gestured to the chair next to the man who had a sleeping baby in a sling on his chest.

Morph glanced up at the person who was asking him a question. A girl who looked rather young... and very pregnant. "Not at all," he replied quietly.

Seer gave a small smile and then lowered herself into the chair, setting her purse on the empty seat on her other side. "Thanks." She said, her voice but a whisper. She then looked over the form in her hand.

Kevin started to feel out the form, but as the girl next to him sat motionless for a few moments, it caught his attention and he turned to her again. "Hey, you need help?" he asked.

Seer looked at the guy and she shook her head. "Uh- I think I can handle it." She said, tone still quiet, although sounding unsure of it herself as she looked back to the form. "Eh, yeah - I very possibly need help." She said with a small sigh.

"Just start with your name and other personal details," Kevin suggested. "Here... and some here," he pointed with his pen. "Then you'll need to find out the type of aid you'll be applying for."

Seer nodded and began to fill out her name, finding herself write an 'S' she scribbled it out and then wrote down her birth name. Along with a few other personal details that he had pointed to. "Type of aid? Okay."

While she was filling out her form, Kevin managed to progress with a half of his. At the girl's question, he said, "Hold on a second," and reached into the back pocket of his jeans, fishing out a small information booklet. One of his colleagues gave it to him, which was what brought Kevin to the City Office in the first place. Such booklets were probably on the table along with the forms or anywhere around, but he had been too distracted to properly pay attention as he had first walked in.
He offered the booklet to the girl. "It's in the middle there. There are several types, so you just choose what fits best."

"Oh, thanks." Seer said with a small smile and took the booklet and then looked through to the middle where she looked them over and then filled out that part of the form.

When Kevin was finished with his form, he leaned back in the chair with a sigh, looking over the room. The movement stirred Mark a bit, and he cooed something sleepily, clutching onto Morph's shirt.

Seer had just finished up the form when she heard the baby coo sleepily and she smiled softly. "Aw...how cute is that?" She said as she watched the little guy clutch to his daddies shirt.

Morph looked at Mark and then at the girl. "Yeah, he knows how to do that. He's gonna be turning me around his little finger in no time."

"Oh, I bet." Seer said and looked to guy. "And you'll just have to spoil him, because there's just no way you can get around not giving this little guy everything he wants." She said and glanced back to the baby boy.

"Yeah, I guess," Morph grinned. "Which, of course, brings me here, to ask for more-more-more money."
