Fola and Delphine are a happily married couple living in Lagos with two kids, a boy and a girl named Fred and Davina.  They seem like the perfect family, doing regular, everyday things.

Fola is an Investment Banker and Delphine owns a very profitable makeup line. Fola is the type of man that every woman wants for a husband- smart, hardworking, handsome, rich, takes care of his family, has beards, is tall, smells great and so on. He leaves for work everyday by 9:00am and goes home by 6:00pm. During the weekends, he spends time with his family. He and Delphine both agreed to not bring work back home so as to spend quality family time with the kids. To maintain his physique, he works out 3 times on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays   downstairs at the home gym. On Saturday mornings, he runs for about 45 minutes, goes home to freshen up and takes the kids to their swimming class. After that he goes back home to enjoy a quiet time with his beautiful wife. "Babe...Babe, where are you?' He shouts as soon as he opens the front door.

"Living room upstairs babe", was her response.

So he runs up the stairs to meet his wife. He looks at her with so much pride and respect, he calls her his egg. As she meant too much to him. What he appreciated about her the most was how patient she was with him when they first started dating in grad school. How they both decided what they wanted to become and how they promised to be by each others side through it all. He never took that for granted. She was clearing Freds playstation cds that were scattered all over the living room. He tapped her bum slightly and she giggled and kissed him before he settled on the couch.

"Come here, come and tell me, how has work been?" he said, as he held her hands and dragged her onto his laps. "You know  I am launching a new range of lashes, I am having some problems with the new guy that is supposed to deliver them" replied Delphine

"Ahahn, D, how come? I hope he did not run away with the money" he joked. He had a way of making his wife less angry and more calm to handle a situation. They both laughed. He called one of his lawyers and that one promised him that he had nothing to worry about. Delphine kissed him and said "Your turn".

"Work has been great, a little stressful but I dare not complain. It is what I always wanted. I didn't even tell you, yesterday I fired Ozzy. The guy is more of a nuisance than an employee. I was getting too many complaints about him. I even called him to my office to talk to him but clearly, he wanted to get fired."

"Eeya, Ozzy is Freds best friend. I wonder what he will do when you tell him" said Delphine. They kept gisting and laughing for the next 30 minutes. Delphine checked the time on her iphone as Fola tuned in to Super Sports to watch soccer. She kissed her husband again and told him that she was going to make lunch for him. Lunch on Saturdays was usually Efo and Pounded Yam or Amala and Egusi soup. She was preparing the former. She brought out the soup from the freezer earlier so it could thaw. She just turned it in the pot and put it on fire with low heat, covered it and started making Ola-Ola. Soon,  the food was ready and she took it up on a tray to serve her husband. Then drove out to pick the kids from their swimming class.

She got to the gym where they were having their lessons. They both saw her and rushed to hug mum. She kissed them on their foreheads and asked how their lesson went. Fred, the talker went on and on about how the instructor said he was the best swimmer and showed his mum proof with the toy medal on his neck. Davina seemed too quiet so Delphine turned to her and asked her how her own lesson was. "Fine, Mum" was all she said. The drive home was very entertaining as Fred decided to sing along with the songs playing on the radio. They got home, went to find their dad and sat down with him. Delphine came up and asked them to go and have lunch. As soon as they left, she told Fola to ask Davina if there was something wrong at the gym. "She seems weird today, you know you're her best friend. Just find out ehn, I'm worried." He nods as she leaves the living room to go meet the kids downstairs.

Later that night, Delphine comes out of their room and hears Fola talking to Davina. "Sweet heart, next time don't cry okay? Tell them you're not afraid of them and they cannot do anything to you. Tell them how strong of a woman you are and how you will not cry because of them anymore, okay? You are a beautiful girl and I know you will grow up to be as intelligent and strong as mum. Dad loves you, mum loves you, Fred loves you. He is your brother and he will defend you if mum and dad are not around." He noticed how her face lightened up and he asked her to give daddy a hug. Then he tickled her and she kept laughing till she was on the floor. Delphine just stood by the door and smiled. Happy that her husband loved the kids so much and relieved that Davina was back to her cheerful self. It was bedtime and the kids were already asleep in their rooms. Fola was reading a book on the bed when Delphine joined him. She moved closer to him and kissed him. Told him how amazing he was as a husband and as a father. She told him how much she loved him and how happy she was.

"These things you tell me every night motivate me to never disappoint you or the kids, I love you my Queen", as they kissed for a while and slept.
