and I got you some gifts, too.
I don’t know where the gifts is at.
Here go the gifts right here.
- Well, it wasn’t a proposal, but Eric is trying.
Sierra is a boss. She ain’t a easy one to please.
Now, she like the good [bleep].
So he knows that, so make sure you come with it.
- Ooh, [bleep]! - It’s big, honey.
- That’s pretty.
Oh, thank you. - With your shoes to match.
- Oh, yes! - Okay.
- Ooh, yay! [cheering]
- All right, guys. Good night. We about to go have fun.
all: Whoo! - Yes!
Everybody know that I am a runaway bride.
But if Eric would’ve gave me a ring,
I woulda said yes, because I truly love him.
I can say that Chanel will do for now, but I cannot wait
until I can just dress my baby’s room up in Chanel.
- Hey. - Hey, handsome.
- What’s good? - Nothing.
Tonight is a good night.
- Yeah. - Night before the big night.
- Listen, we gotta talk.
I had a conversation with your mom
and what happened last night,
and she was mad that I told you what she said
about the marriage being fake.
But you know, I wanted you to know.
I said, own up to your truth.
And she put everything on me.
- Yeah, that’s expected, too. When people caught wrong,
instead of taking responsibility
and accountability, they deflect.
I’m tired of that. In the snap of a finger,
everybody’s supposed to forgive her
and say yesterday was the pest.
At this moment right now,
I’m not even giving her the address.
This is something that’s real to us
and we want to enjoy it for us and our kids.
- You wanna protect your family, and I get that.
It’s just for me, like,
I--I had such a difficult relationship with my mom
and I’m saying this with my heart.
The milestones in my life my mom has been there
and regardless of what relationship me
and my mom had in the past,
I was grateful to know that she was there.
And now that we got past them,
when I look back at those pictures,
I’m like, "[bleep], thank God.
I didn’t let those moments keep my mom from being there
because my mom was in the picture."
- Even though Judy is trying to blame me for everything,
I agree with Jonathan.
Mendeecees need to put all the issues aside
and allow his mom to be there.
You’re only gon’ have one mother.
- She’s not--she’s not there
because she put-- she didn’t put herself.
- Still your momma, irregardless.
You think Scrappy like my [bleep]?
Hell no!
But I’ll be the first. He don’t like it.
Makes him uncomfortable. But guess what? I’m his momma.
And it is what it is.

- Well, it’s day three.
I’m here.
Me, myself, and my little Y.
And I’m just waiting to see what the status is right now.
There’s no doubt about it, Safaree’s recent antics
have definitely made me become so stressed to the point
that it’s extremely unhealthy for a pregnant woman.
The doctors do fear of me going into premature labor
because of the fact that I am dilating.
If he is born this early,
he will be put into an incubator
until it’s time for him to come home.
He’s purposely tried to hurt me and make my pregnancy hell.
What am I putting my body through
by dealing with all this unnecessary [bleep]
that could possibly be affecting my unborn child?
You know, I’m really just trying to keep myself
in the best spirits possible.
My daughter is what’s keeping me going to
FaceTiming her and my kids, in general,
is just where I’m finding my source--source
of strength and drive and comfort from
because that’s all I have right now.
I haven’t seen or spoken to my husband in a week
and I’ve been left here to deal with all of this all on my own.
It’s literally a nightmare for me right now.
I married someone literally abandoned me.
I thought he would get better.
I thought this would bring us together closer,
but it’s obvious I’m not a concern
on Safaree’s mind whatsoever, and neither is my unborn child.
- I’m out here. I’m going to the airport.
I’m going to Miami.
- You gon’ leave, bro? - I ain’t trying to be around
all this bad energy. - Where’d he go?
It’s like everything that’s happening.
It’s like--
it’s like he wants to reassure me
that the divorce decision I made was the right one.
But God as my witness,
I did not want to get divorced.
I would have done anything to save my marriage.
I really would have done anything,
especially for my kids.
Wanted my daughter to see her dad loved her mom
and have that be her first example
of what a man is supposed to do in her world, you know?
She’s not gonna get that with me
sticking around this marriage.
