"I have a few friends and a brother." Seer said and looked to him, his concern making her smile reassuringly. "They have their own lives to live, but I've been told they'll help."

"Good for you," Kevin nodded.
He deliberately avoided typical 'polite pregnant questions' such as 'boy or girl' and 'have you chosen the names yet', as he remembered quite well that Brady used to get frustrated when even some strange granny she'd sit next to on a bench in a park would start asking that stuff, thinking she was being polite and not knowing she was a hundredth person to ask the same thing. He kept it in mind. But there were still some minutes for him to wait for his turn, and he hadn't really been getting too many chances to talk about kids lately, so he enjoyed the subject and stuck to it. "Another good thing is that your kids will have one another to play with," he mused. "This guy sleeps most of the day, but in a few months I think he'll start demanding quality time."

"True." Seer nodded, her children would have one another. "You know, you could always arrange play-dates." She told him. "It'll get him to interact with others his age or at least around his age."

"I guess I could," Kevin nodded. "As soon as I quit one of my two jobs... But I still have time until he grows up enough to be socializing."

"But, time seems to go by fast." Seer murmured. "You better hold on to every moment you have with him, because before you know it, he'll be dating and asking to use the car and you just know he'll never clean his room." She babbled.

"Ouch!" Morph made a face as if he'd just realized what a horrible mistake he'd made. "So he'll be a copy of me, then? I'm not sure I'm ready for this..."

Seer chuckled. "Oh, if he's a copy of you, you'll be just fine. Both of you will be." She said with a smile.

Morph chuckled, too, and shook his head slightly. He glanced up to see the last person before him enter the office. It meant he was next in a few minutes. He turned to the girl again. "I'm Kevin, by the way," he offered her his hand.

Seer glanced at his hand and then took it to give a small shake. He had given her his birth name, so, she could only be as considerate. "You can call me Rae."

"Nice to meet you," Kevin smiled.
He wasn't really ready to start getting new acquaintances, he still tended to keep to himself, so he couldn't have planned this conversation to have gone even as far as introducing himself to another person, but he had this feeling like probably it would be better to keep in touch with the girl in case she needed some help later on, even though she did tell him she had people looking after her. All this flashed through his mind while he was looking for something else to say and at the same time glancing towards the office door to see if the other person was already leaving.

"You too." Seer said with a small smile and looked towards the door, as well. "Five- ten minutes tops." She told him with a nod towards the door, talking about when the person would leave the office and it would be his turn to go in.

"Yeah, looks like it," Kevin agreed. "You're sure you don't want to go first?"

Seer laughed a bit nervously. "No, you can go right ahead and go first."

Kevin glanced at the door again. "So, listen, uh..." he sighed. "I guess you're all set and you've got the help you need, but," he reached into his breast pocket and took out a name card with the magazine's title and his contact details there, "if you ever feel like you need extra help in managing with two kids, just call me, and maybe I can help."

Seer looked from the card to his face a few times, before taking it and giving it a quick glance. "Um, thank you. That's- thanks." She said with a grateful smile and then grabbed her purse, setting the card safely inside and then grabbing a pen and a piece of paper - from a small notebook that she carried around with her - and wrote her number down on it. "Uh, here. I wouldn't know why you'd want to call me, but in case you ever need someone to...I don't know talk to or something-" She said with a small shrug and handed him the piece of paper. "Possible future playdates..." She suggested with a light smile.
