Family of 6 welcomes quintuplets (Today Show)

Evonne and Deon Derrico had always wanted a big family – and they got one a lot sooner than anyone could have expected.

In September 2013, Evonne delivered quintuplets to add to their brood of four. Perhaps even more amazing than the arrival of five healthy babies was the fact that it was all natural—no fertility drugs involved.

“We did not expect this,” Deon Derrico told TODAY’s Savannah Guthrie.
As he spoke from the couple’s home in Nevada, three of the newborns rocked peacefully in their pods. The other two babies will be coming home over the next two weeks.

40 bottles a day! Catching up with the Derrico quintuplets

By Rebecca Dube 

Evonne and Deon Derrico always wanted a big family. They got their wish, and then some, when Evonne gave birth to quintuplets last fall (naturally conceived!).

TODAY caught up with little Deniko, Dariz, Deonee, Daician and Daiten, who are all out of the hospital and settled in to their Las Vegas home. They've gotten a warm welcome from the Derricos' other children, 8-year-old Darian, 3-year-old Derrick and 2-year-old twins Dallas and Denver. (Names starting with a "D" are a tradition from Deon's side of the family.)
