Chapter 25-- Dolly Damian Friends and Family: Baby Bash Bonanza

Dolly Maintained her ravenous 
Appetite and gained weight.
Damian kept the new
 refrigerator Stocked with fruits 
vegetables Exotic foods and 
other goodies. Two days had
Slowly passed. Damian finally 
Assembled the crib. 
"Baby shower Time is upon us."
She loved to see Damian happy.
"It won't be much longer now."
Damian raved about Damian 
Junior whenever the notion 
Struck him.
"Baby Damian will soon be here."
The baby shower was to take 
Place in two days.  Even the
Baby's  room was ready. Molly
Came to help applying a fresh
Coat of paint  to the walls.
 The shower was
Finally happening. The large 
Apartment quickly
became crowded.  Damian 
Started the music. The food
Was still coming in. guests
Were still arriving.  Molly was
Baking barbecue chicken. 
Dolly was eating egg salad
With fried chicken. She went
To the kitchen to check Molly's 
Barbecue chicken. Damian 
Changed the music and asked
"Delilah will you dance with me."
She excepted his offer.  They
Danced Romantically. He 
Whispered,"Delilah I will keep
You happy for eternity. That's my 
Heart's promise. I refuse to let
Anybody interfere in our
Relationship. OK?  Don't take
Any advice from anybody unless 
 You Speak to me first."
Gazing intensely into her eyes,
"Listen, I love you and our baby.
You hear me." NO turning back."
 "I'm playing for keeps. We have 
A good relationship and a good
Home life. That's the way I want
It. And that's the way you want
It. Right? She looked up at him
And nodded,  "yes."
Other than that she was 
Speechless. The song ended.
He lead her to the couch he
Sat first pulling her onto his
Lap. He began comforting her
By rubbing her 6 month old
Pregnant belly. She felt safe
And comfortable in his arms.
She hoped the feeling would 
Last for lifetimes. Her head was
Filled with all of the words
He recited to her on the floor.
Nothing else mattered except 
This man who took good care
Of her. She thought to herself.
"I'm trapped in a good life."
"No way out." She was lost in 
Thought when mother Hakim
And  Molly came to check on
Her.  Molly  Inquired, "How are 
You doing Dolly? Are you
Feeling ok?  Damian answered
For her, "She's alright perfect 
And happy."  He Held her
Tighter. Dolly was dazed by 
His words he told her while
They danced.
Mother Hakim asked
Are you hungry Delilah. "Yes".
Was her weak reply. The older
Woman hurried away
Then returned with a full plate.
" Here you are Dolly. Damian 
Let her sit at the table." 
Mrs. Hakim ordered. Damian
Lead her to a small table in 
A corner. Dolly ate every bit
On the plate. "Why do you
Look so Glazed?" Molly
Was concerned for her twin.
