To Sarah and Ryan, their dad means everything to them. He means the world to them, dad was their hero, he was strong, he faced his problems without anyone noticing it, tackle the problem fiercely and get them solved most times. Dad smiles all day, he never frowned, he was not quick to judge, he doesn't hit his kids when they do bad things, rather he talks to them in a way that will penetrate deeper into their hearts, he was a good listener, whenever he is having a bad day, he doesn't let it show on his face, when someone offends him, he doesn't transfer aggressions on the next person like mom usually do, dad always have a solution to every problem. Oh! What more would they ask for? Having a father with all these qualities, they were grateful. What would they do without dad? They thought but it baffled them when dad didn't have a solution to the problem on ground. Maybe the problem was more than dad could singlehandedly handle but it baffled them more when they saw dad cry or better

CHAPTER 24Mr Wellspring and the assistant receptionist watched as little Adrian made his way happily out of the supermarket. He held the pink teddy bear in the right hand and the fancy bag on his shoulder. He stopped and turn to look at Mr Wellspring inside the supermarket and blew a kiss at him, the assistant receptionist thought it was her so she blew him a kiss while Mr Wellspring waved and smiled.

He was so shocked at the sight. So this is how labour feels like. Oh God, how difficult it is to bring another human into the world. Indeed mother's are heroes, they deserve to be respected, they deserved to be worshipped going through this excruciating pain and not stopping at one child or two children? Wow it's so amazing. He said lost in his own thoughts. Mother's are amazing, Mrs wellspring is also amazing, he imagined the pain of carrying a child for nine months, giving birth is more painful, when the new born baby begins to suck, the pains, the sleepless nights, the sacrifice, mother's are heroes. Not only mothers, mothers, nurses, doctors and other medical practitioners are superheroes too, he concluded. He watched how the woman in labour was dramatizing, when she couldn't take the pain anymore, she smashed the phone she was holding. He watched as she walked into the delivery room in agony, work the way she was behaving, he guessed she was a first time mom. A minute she was c

Helen looked at her daughter and shook her head, she knew arguing with her is baseless. Helen wasn't a talkative but she knew she couldn't hide the shame, she couldn't die in silence so she had to voice out. Who knows if there was someone that could help her hearing what they pass through or she thought if she tell what she faced to some singles, they will think twice before jumping into a relationship or marriage. Helen's daughter remembered vividly that her mom almost slapped her one night because she spilled what happened in their family to an outsider, the event replayed in her memory, but here her mom was, exposing everything to an outsider. She frowned, it really made her angry."It's alright dear, Mr Wellspring isn't an outsider anymore, he is my friend, he always check on me each time he comes to see his wife, he buys good stuffs for me and paid most of the bill. So you see, he is a nice man and responsible husband too." She explained to her daughter who was fuming in ang

CHAPTER 30Helen's daughter was mad at Helen, she hates it when her mom use bad names on her dad, "Dad is not an animal, he is just going through tough times and instead of you to be there for him, instead of you to be a wife material, instead of you to stand by him, you..." "Will you shut your stinking mouth! Helen shunned her daughter, "Your dad is an animal, he is even worst than that because even animals have compassion but your father doesn't. He left me at home when I slumped to the floor after we had a heated argument. He couldn't even take me to the hospital. You know that and you are still saying trash at my face? This child, do not make me lose my temper. If not for the babysitting job I took that evening do you think I will still be alive, listening to the trash you are saying? If not for our neighbour that dropped the kids I will be babysitting that day do you know what would have happened to me? She knocked severally but didn't get a response and the door wa
