Chapter 57 -- Damian Delilah Mallory Polly: the Family Seventeen Vii

One week passed before Polly
Called. Molly and Dolly agreed 
To change the meeting 
Location. "We'll meet at the 
Small Park near by where we 
Used to live."  Dolly called 
Her mother and told 
Her about the park picnic
event. She asked 
Her mother to meet them at
The small park. Her mother 
Was pleased to be invited.
She told Damian about Polly
And the Picnic. She said to
Damian, " it has to be a picnic.
Baby, when ever we do 
Anything with our 17 it always 
Turns into a gigantic event
, you know. So anyway it'll be 
a picnic. I think Polly will 
bring her kids as well."  Damian 
said, "I'll be coming with you."  
Dolly was happy about his 
decision to Be there. 
She relished the fact 
Then exclaimed, "but how are
We all gonna make it there?"
Damian said "we have a bus
Plus the two limos. "We
Hakim, baby we don't do
Nothing small! Everything 
Becomes a project." Then he
Put everything into motion. 
His sisters and 
Mother Hakim will all be 
There. His brother Adonis 
Also planned to attend. 
Molly Dolly Damian Mother 
Hakim brainstormed.
They concluded that
The picnic will be located on 
Damian's property. They 
Notified everybody about the
 Change. Molly called Polly and
 told her of the change. Polly
 gladly agreed to be there. And 
Dolly said, "But we have to
Come and bring you over. We're 
Coming in a limousine honey,
We'll be there within the hour."
Dolly hung up Then turned to
Molly and said, "We'll be 
Going to get Polly and her kids
In a few minutes."  "Limo."
Molly was excited, saying
Let's go!" The family already 
Had the setup rigged.Barbecues 
And all the frills. This was
 turning into a big
Affair, which initially was a picnic
In a small park. Delilah and 
Mallory rounded up sheets 
And baby supplies moving them 
Far across the lawn to the 
Lake side of the property. 
Mother Daughtry and Mother 
Hakim both posed the same 
Question, "Who planned this
Gathering?" Dolly Molly 
And Damian answered, "Spur
Of the moment!" Molly said 
"Sorry if it seems disorganized 
We were doing our best." Then
Dolly said we have to get Polly!"
Damian called the Driver."  They
Waited on the paved road. The
Driver pulled right up in front of
Them. Molly asked, "Dolly do you
Know where she lives."  Dolly 
Said, "Don't you?"   "Umm yes,
Of course," Molly replied.
"So let's be about it!" Dolly
Knocked on the partition.
Molly gave the address. "Let's 
Go!" Molly called Polly to 
Confirm the address and told
Her they were on their way. The
Trip lasted 35 minutes. Molly 
Got out of the spacious limo
And rang Polly's intercom 
Polly answered, "Yeah, we'll be
Right down!"  She returned to 
The car.  Shortly they saw Polly 
with her two children exit the
 building. Dolly
Waved to get their attention.
They ran to the limo. They were
Very impressed. Climing in
One behind the other. The 
Driver slid into speed. Polly 
Asked, "Are y'all rich!? Oooh,
Y'all are living! who does this 
 limo belong to?"  "The family."
Dolly Uttered. Polly started
Talking. Her nervousness was 
Apparent. She asked , "Damian's 
gonna Be there right?"
They Both reassured her, she'd
 be fine. "But they're rich 
right?" Dolly said "Don't ask us 
about their riches especially in their
Presence. You'll see when
We get there." Molly asked, 
"So Ms. P are you still 
Married? "Well, noo." Polly 
Answered reluctantly.

She was not willing to 
Discuss that part of her life.
They were back on Damian's 
Estate now. Polly and her kids
Were so amazed. They had
Never been this close to rich 
Folks before. Damian was 
Waiting for them on the curb.
Molly and Dolly stepped from 
The car first and Damian showed
Ownership of both women 
Immediately. Touching 
And kissing them. They
 escorted Polly and her 
Son and daughter from the car
 "Come over here and have
A seat with us. 
Polly's question was the 
First out the gate. They said
Yes, Polly everything you see
Is real especially us and Damian.".
Polly caught her breath. Oh, my
Goodness! oh i.I.. I don't know 
What to say right now." She 
Searched around for her kids.
Damian proudly showed off two
Of His kids which was one of 
Molly's quadruplets Adian
and one Of Dolly's Triplets
Elliott.  He put Elliott in Dolly's 
Arms. And gave Adian to Molly.
Damian said  "come on 
Mommies come tend to these
Other 15." Polly was shocked.
As Dolly and Molly rose to see
The other kids resting eating on
Blankets and sheets and 
Talking.  DJ and Amadeus were 
In a separate area eating.
When the kids saw
Their mothers they endlessly 
Addressed both women with
"Hi mommy."  And stories of
Their activities. 
Polly asked secretly 
"Are all of these Children 
your children? Polly was quite
The inquisitive starstrucked 
Friend.
Where is your children's 
Father?  Molly said, "Polly take
This big hint, it's Damian."
Dolly said, "ALL Seventeen, 
All the time off the assembly 
Line."  The sisters smiled.
"Polly will not be over this
Experience until years have
Past." Molly said privately to
Dolly. And Polly never really 
Knew their actual names. 
Then to pound reality 
Further into her, the Damian
Hakim boys Joined each other 
And began their chant. All
9 of them as Desharah sat 
By watching. DJ said loudly 
"WHO ARE WE? HAKIM? 
His brothers joined in
"WE HAKIM WE HAKIM. HAKIM
HAKIM. HAKIM WE DOMINATE 
WE DOMINATE. ANYTHING,
ANYTHING WE DO, WE DO
TOGETHER DAMIAN HAKIM!
Dolly Molly And Damian all
Watched Polly. 
 
 She steered at the Damian 
Brothers looking from one
To the other. Then
Back again. This was the richest
Experience of her life.
Amadeus came up beside her.
She said "The babies...." 
Amadeus kindly Volunteered the 
information. "They're quadruplets 
and Triplets. 4 from my mother 
and 3 from My auntie." Polly 
was collecting Information.  She 
continued, "Your father is...."  
Amadeus said "He's  all our 
father  We Hakim." All
DAMIAN HAKIM" 
Polly couldn't stop herself.
And all of you... " Amadeus 
Interrupted "there are 16 boys
One girl, my sister Desharah
And my name.... is 
Damian Amadeus Hakim.
