Chapter 50 -- Damian Delilah Mallory: the Family Seventeen

Year  August 2039

Molly started contractions about 
40 minutes before Dolly they
Were both rushed to the
Hospital in separate ambulances
There was a family Gathering 
with both families at the
Hospital. This was a momentous 
Event unlike the other births.
Quads and Triplets at the same
Time. At the end of the day 
Only two babies were born one
From each mother and 
Damian was exhausted from 
Going back and forth between 
The sisters and the babies.
When the treacherous 
Experience was done Molly
Spent 12 hours in labor and
Dolly only ten. And Damian 
Was overcome with 
Exhaustion.  The nurses allowed 
Him to sleep in an unoccupied 
Room overnight.  Finally the
Next day some family members 
Stayed the night. Damian's 
Sisters DJ and his brother 
Adonis all stayed. Everyone 
Else went back to the house to
Wait. They waited then returned..
The spectacular event was 
More than the Hospital could
Handle. At the end Damian's 
Family woke him to congradulate
Him on his seven more 
Children. They asked, "what are
Some of their names Damian"
He was  still grougey he said, 
"Damian Elliott, Elijah and 
Everything thing else."  I'm 
Still not awake. Where are my
Babies." The staff had the
Seven answers, wheeling them
Into the huge Area. The hall
And waiting room were 
Completely jammed with 
So many family members 
Until it was a family reunion.
Damian's heart was stricken 
With emotion. "Look at my Boys.
Look at them. Seven of me."  
The babies And their Mother's.
Spent a total of 5 days in the
Hospital being weighed and
 tested.  The mothers were
Tested for infection and 
Everybody received blood test.
Damian visited then escorted 
Them home on the last day.
They Arrived home in two
Chauffeured Limousines.
Damian was so relieved he
Couldn't stop kissing Dolly
And Molly. He told the sisters
"Thank you for my quads Molly 
 thank you for my Triplets Dolly."
Once the children were 
Gathered in the nursery, all
Seventeen of them. 
Damian said, " My Sons and
My girl. My boys! Who are we?!
Who are we?! The boys roared
Loudly, "WE HAKIM WE HAKIM
ANYTHING, ANYTHING WE DO, 
WE DO TOGETHER.  WE
DOMINATE!! WE HAKIM.
WE HAKIM!
Damian bellowed, "MASTER 
PLAN,  WE HAKIM! 
MASTER PLAN! 
The boys Joined in 
"Yeaaah! WE DOMINATE!
MASSTER PLAAAN!!
DADDY!!

As the seven grew, they were
Closely monitor for any
Complications. There were
A complex combinations of
Calculated catastrophes at
2am 3:15 am 1 am 4: 05 am
And etcetera etcetera of 
Feedings and a whole host of
Pamper changes and changes.
Then after everybody was taken care 
Of. The 3 parents sat with relief. The
Babies slept in three huge
cribs. Ashton Elliott and Elijah 
were in one Crib. 
 Addison Adian in one crib. 
Abbas and Amari 
had a crib together. Since the

and himself To the 3rd floor 
to be closer to The seven.

One month passed. It was 
time for the babies Doctor's
 visit. Damian decided to 
schedule everyone for physicals. 
All Seventeen children. Damian 
Stood at The bottom of the 
stairs and Yelled.
 "EVERYBODY LET'S 
GO, BE QUICK ABOUT THIS 
HAKIM. FRONT AND CENTER!
HAKIM! All of the 10 children 
Responded, running through 
The hall And down the steps.
"The limos are out front. The
Babies are already in the car."
"All the Babies will be in one
Car with me and both of you.
The other children will ride
With their grandmother and
Salis" Damian took 
Attendance.
"We're all here Damian!" Salis
Yelled.  Damian Junior 
Clapped his hands,"Let's be
Quick about This." He echoed 
His father. Damian looked at
DJ and said, "Alright, family we
Are...moving!" Damian hit the
Top of the car. Then ran to the
Lead car and said, "Let's get 
There And get back! DRIVER!"
Damian slammed the door.
Dolly said  "PUT SOME GAS TO
IT!"  the driver pumped up the
Gas the family was on their 
Way to the Hospital for their 
Physical exams, all Seventeen
