It'd been a long, difficult day at work -- not a bad one, just one of those days where you were expected to do way too many things in way too short an amount of time -- and all Murphy wanted to do was collapse and hang out with his kids. He even actually got home in time to do so, too, which was a good point to the day. Not that he'd been worried about the kids, since he trusted Derek more than he trusted most people, but it was always a relief once someone wasn't babysitting the kids.
He was once again struck with a moment of thinking about how weird it was that he was a parent. He didn't regret it for a second, would do it all again even knowing that Raven would be gone someday, but it would never not be weird.
The kids were settled in the living room, playing, as Murphy headed for the kitchen to start figuring out dinner. He'd just opened the freezer when the doorbell rang -- and the sound of feet told him that Aurie was heading for the door before he could get there. "You know the rules, Aurelia!" he yelled.
And that would be Aurie peeking through the living room curtains to see who it was before opening the door.
