So far there are 10 children 
For all three adults. Could there
Be more in store? The four
Youngest brothers are all 
3 years old. Twins born 
2 months apart. 

The Family Meeting;
Father Carter Hakim said,
"Damian needs to do something.
But he's to damn stubborn to 
Consider anything." No alternative 
Except Damian's way. 9 boys"
Mother Lucinda Hakim groaned
"But other men in our family 
Have even more than 9!" Adonis 
Shared his view. 

"But they have ten! TEN! 
Children. The father threw his hands 
Up in frustration. "Let him build 
 his family and empire. More
For Hakim reputation Dynasty 
And Legacy."  "We should be 
Willing to give him the help 
And the assistance he needs."

DJ started rounding up his
Brothers, "come on Hakim we're 
Going to raid grandma grandpa 
Hakim. Come on all y'all we
Hakim anything we do, we do
Together!!"  They went out 
All 9 of them walking the short
Path to their grandpa and 
Grandma. DJ knocked 
Surrounded by his brothers.
Salis answered. Opening the
Door wide enough for them 
All to enter at once. Ambush 
Style. "Oh my Goodness look 
Who's here Damian Junior And 
Brothers."  You came to visit, 
DJ? hmm?  Come take your
Jacket off.  All y'all go into the
Game room. Take your shoes
Off relax.  Mother Hakim
Entered the vicinity and saw
Them. "Well well I haven't seen 
You Damian boys in long time.
Damian Junior have you been 
Taking care of your brothers
Making sure they're not into
Any trouble?" And how've you 
Been? Doing good in school?"
He nodded, " Yeah. Grandma
Everything alright?"  "everyone is
Fine. I'm doing good in my
Studies."  She asked, "Did you
Boys walk here from home?"
DJ said  "Yeah we walked.
We still live close by." And as
Luck would have it, their 
Father was about to knock on
The door. "I believe I heard a 
Knock."  " who's there Mother 
Hakim  tried intimidation but
Damian Laughed and his voice 
Escaped his mouth booming.
"It's  DAMIAN  MA OPEN UP!"
She jumped before she 
Recognized his voice. "Damian!"
You frightened us. Don't do 
That." She quipped while opening 
The door.

 DJ said "Hey Dad we 
Just decided to visit...."
Damian cut him off, "yeah,
Next time ask me or
 your mother Or Auntie and 
we'll tell if you Can come.
 You hear me? DJ said "yes Dad."
"Don't just take it upon your 
self and leave. When you get to
Be man you can do what you
Want. But always remember...
You represent usss."  "Yes Dad."
Damian spoke firmly."get your

Junior made a hasty exit. In
The game room DJ bellowed.

Damian is Here, we're leaving. 
"Hakim get To Your feet!" 
Damian Junior was just like 
Daddy. They wrestled themselves 
out of Their drowsy state to 
deal with Their brother and father. 
Amadeus was the first to exit.
"Hi Dad" he cheerfully greeted
His father. Damian grabbed him
 "Hey, man what you
Doin' hanging out, did you do
Your homework."  Amadeus 
Stuttered. I.. um..I'm almost 
Finished. He calmed himself.
"What about your brothers. 
DJ, did you do your homework."
"Yeah Dad," I'll look it over when 
We get home." Damian said. 
Then He rose his voice.
"HAKIM LET'S BE QUICK ABOUT

The 3 year Olds.

They Arrived at the place
'Damian's Domaine' he added
A few more activities since
Their last visit. A basketball 
Shot game, like the type you
See at carnivals, 2 new pool 
Tables, A couple of  big screen 
TVs. A juice bar with
Smoothies and beer. But it
Was a family establishment 
Damian said, "Damian Junior 
After you turn 13 I'll let you 
Come here with your cousins 
And your friends if you want."
"If you happen to make some 
Friends."  Damian was so
Sarcastic. DJ said, "You're so
Strict Dad I can't  hardly manage to
friends. I don't know. But
Dad I'm gonna have to have a
Girlfriend one day. Right."
"Dad?"  Damian remarked, "Yeah,
You'll have more freedom 
Eventually."
