Murphy didn't really like thinking about it, but he was worried about Octavia being back. Not because he thought she'd take Aurie away from him -- he knew she wouldn't -- but because she didn't remember the little girl and as a result, that was just going to end up hurting Aurie. She was old enough to start asking questions, old enough to know that something was wrong with her mother, old enough to feel like she'd done something wrong even though she hadn't. The last thing Murphy wanted was for Aurie to ever feel that kind of hurt and he would throw down hard against Octavia to protect the little girl if he had to.
If Octavia had remembered, it would be one thing. But she hadn't and so he would fight if he had to.
And if there was one thing John Murphy did well, it was fight dirty.
He was in the middle of feeding both kids when there was a knock at the door. Frowning slightly, Murphy went to answer it -- and came face to face with Octavia. "... hi."
