Chapter 56 -- Damian Delilah Mallory: the Polly Equation

August 11 2032
It was the Day after Damian's 
39th birthday. The Seven were 
Now a year old. They slept in 
Two big beds welded together.
It still appeared as one big 
Crib because of the railings.
The kids were impossible 
to keep track of always 
climbing  somewhere. Pulling 
clothes From closets. Into
 everything all the time.
 All at once. Everyone tried to
 control the seven Little Damian 
disastrous Dynamos.
Damian was in his den when 
Delilah and Mallory approached
Him about financing their
Blooming Beauty
Business.  It didn't take long 
For him to reject the idea.
He said, "i can't give you the 
Financing you need."  There 
Are certain expertise 
Involved in entrepreneurship.
You don't have the training."
But the sisters argued.
"Damian, we can gain the 
Training we know about
Management."  "You need 
A Cosmology license and a
Business license."  "Financial 
Backing.  Capital and I said NO!
Now check on the Sandwich 
Shop. You want to much. You
Have 17 children to take care
Of. You're insane!"  "Sandwich 
Shop." He kissed them. Then
Sent them out of his den. 
Dolly held  Molly's hand and
Rushed from the den saying 
"Molly Come on let's go 
and supervise some Sandwich 
makers." They visited the 
sandwich shop and the 
downtown area, did 
Some shopping and felt better.
 Opting  to stay passed
Lunch. Molly called their long 
Time friend Polly.
They had time to spare. The 
Babies were being cared for
By Their grandmothers,
Nurses and Damian. 
They called Polly. She screamed 
On the other end. "I have not 
Seen yall in such a long long 
Time!"  She agreed to meet them 
Downtown at their favorite 
Eatery. "We need to call the
House Molly.  Make sure 
Everything is okay."  Molly said
"Alright call." Dolly called 
Mother Hakim. Mama Hakim
Was in good spirits. "It won't 
Be a problem if you stay out
Long. We have more than 
Enough help here with the
Babies." "Okay,  thanks Ma."
Dolly hung up the phone just as
Polly was pulling up to the Curb.
They got into her car and they
Drove off feeling young and 
Free."  All three were excited to
Be in each other's company.
They found the Eatery quickly.
Molly invited Polly back to the
Mansion. But Polly avoided a
Direct response saying, "how
Have yall been getting on. Since
I last saw y'all? "How's  Damian 
Junior."  Dolly said, "Oh DJ
Is a big brother now trying to be
A big man."  Polly said, "Oh, 
Big brother? So Dolly how 
Many children do you have now?
Dolly looked at Molly. Molly
Looked at Polly and said, "We
Have alot."  That's all we can 
Divulge. Polly only became 
More interested. "We?" And 
Just How many is alot?
Tell me I'm one of.... well I'm 
Your closest friend. You
Invited me to your house!
"Well, we'll visit you instead.
And we'll bring the kids when
We visit." Molly assured her.
"Polly we're going to have to 
Leave you now."  Polly said 
"Okay well come visit soon
And bring all of your kids.
Their car pulled up to The curb
Just as Polly drove off. Molly
Said, "I know she saw us
Getting into this luxury car."
Dolly said. "We're lucky it wasn't 
One of The limos."  Back at
The mansion the children were 
Preparing for their bath and bed.
Molly and Dolly strolled in 
Happily  smiling. "How was
Your day away from home?"
Damian asked. Molly Answered 
"Oh, it was great. Fantastic.
We went to the Sandwich shop.
We did some shopping, we
Saw an old friend. That was 
Our whole day."  A few days
Passed before Polly gave them 
A call promising to meet.  
Molly asked ,"but meet where?
 Dolly offered,  "we 
Should meet at the same 
Area we met before."   "Molly
Told Polly they'd meet at the
Same place."  Polly said, 
"Good" and hung up the phone.
