[narrator] previously on unexpected...
[woman] aah!
This is just like how an at-home birth will be.
I think I'm more interested in going to a hospital than doing it.
Being at home is better than a hospital.
I wish we could come to a decision together about it.
But if he doesn't get his way,
he gets pissed off.
We have to be at the airport to pick up tyra.
Tyra is coming to help me fly back to kentucky to see my doctor
because I don't have one in maryland yet.
Does alex know you're going to maryland?
[tiarra] yeah.
I felt like he should know, just in case something happened.
Alex hasn't come back from his little trip to texas.
He's there with his girlfriend who is saying that alex got her pregnant.
Grosses me out.
-I'm jenna. -I'm aden.
[jenna] I don't think a lot of 17-year-olds can say
they got pregnant by someone who's around as much as aden.
[jenna] I have the best boyfriend.
I don't want my mom to feel uncomfortable.
I'm tired of getting blamed for everything.
-I'm not blaming you for anything. -You just did.
And that's [bleep].
[matt] jenny used to be a daddy's girl.
She'd wanna spend as much time as she could with me.
But she's definitely not a daddy's girl anymore.
They said that the baby might come a little bit before the due date.
So, two to three weeks.
My mom's been in and out of jail for the past few years.
But she just got back from rehab.
Will emersyn be able to, like, come over often?
With mason's mom and her past,
[erica] I have hesitations, um, definitely about emersyn
taking the baby over there.
My little sister tiarra
is about to have her second baby.
And I'm actually flying to maryland
to go get tiarra so she can still come
to her doctor's appointments in kentucky.
[tyra speaking]
I mean, I would actually enjoy it if tiarra asked me to help her more often.
'cause she doesn't like asking for anything.
-[tyra] from nobody. -[melissa] nobody.
Tiarra does not like handout.
She won't eat, she won't even, like...
If she's here and we go to get something to eat, she won't
let me pay for her food.
If anything, she will pay for mine,
before I pay for hers.
[bleep], when she says, "let me pay", I'll let her. [chuckles]
oh, tyra's already here.
-[dee] she's here? -Yeah.
But we have to wait!
[ella speaks]
[tiarra] we're going to pick her up at the airport.
Dee and I, have been living in maryland now for eight months.
Because he is in the military,
and that is where he is stationed.
I don't have insurance in maryland
because I have to have my social security card
to get enrolled to insurance,
and I don't have that right now.
So, have to come to all my doctor's appointments in kentucky.
I think, tiarra enjoys
not having her social security card 'cause she gets to go back to kentucky.
No, I looked for it everywhere, I cannot find it anywhere throughout our house.
Well, you never found it, did you?
No.
-[cell phone rings] -[tiarra speaks]
-hey can you turn it down just a little bit? -Tyra doesn't know
-[dee] where she's going. -[tyra over the phone]
[tiarra] no.
No, stay down.
It doesn't really bother me that I had to fly
to go get tiarra for her doctor's appointment.
I mean, she's 18 years old.
I didn't have my [bleep] together at 18 years old.
Like, "oh, I have to switch my insurance."
"oh, where's my social security card, my birth certificate?"
that's not something that you're thinking about as an 18-year-old.
[tiarra breathing deeply]
my stomach is starting to get tight again.
Look at the way you're sitting.
This is comfortable.
Believe it or not.
[tiarra] dealing with contractions, like...
Like, it literally feels like something's kicking out my back.
It was probably just braxton hicks,
-which are, like, false. -I know those are, like, the fake ones.
-Yeah. It's, like... -I don't even know what a...
What an actual contraction feels like.
Feels like... Your stomach just gets like tight in a ball.
Braxton hicks are kind of like false contractions
getting you ready for the real contractions.
But at this point, like, I'm just not even sure that they were false.
I'm just sitting here in pain.
Hurting.
I hate being miserable.
That's why I never want to be pregnant again.
It's kind of scary that I feel like I'm having those
because tomorrow, if I'm in the air and something happens,
then let's just say my water broke or something,
it's just dangerous 'cause
it's not like there are doctors or anything
on there.
-And... -[dee] yeah.
-...It's not like they can just land. -Well, maybe.
[dee] sheesh!
[ella] sheesh.
I don't know that I would trust tyra on a plane, delivering my baby.
I think that would be the last person that I want
'cause I feel like she would just be more concerned about...
I feel like she would be concerned about the baby after, but during it,
no, I don't think she could take that task.
I think tiarra's right on this one.
[tyra chuckles softly]
there is she is, right there.
Momo.
Tyra.
[dee] we gots to see it through, my boy.
[tyra screams excitedly]
[tyra] hey, my love.
Hey, baby.
[tyra] you miss me?
-[tyra] oh, talk to me. -[ella] no.
-[tyra gasps] please, I missed you. -[ella gurgles]
[tyra] I flew so far to see you.
You only flew an hour and 45 minutes.
[bleep] you, it's an hour and 15.
[tyra] tell him.
-[tyra] say "punk". -[ella] punk.
Yeah!
Your daddy shave his ugly mustache?
Not yet.
At least I got my momo now.
-[ella mumbles] -[tyra] yeah.
Tyra, her... She has, like, 10 personalities,
and that's the problem.
She's got an attitude all the time.
It gives me anxiety.
If tyra stays on the level she's on right now,
might be a long trip back to kentucky.
[tiarra chuckles]
[jenna] let me see if he'll sit on a high chair.
[jenna] uh-oh.
I'm all right, I think so. We're almost there.
My name is jenna. I'm 18 and my son, luca, is 11 months old.
Where you going?
Oh, he's out.
[jenna] how are you?
[chuckles] I'm good, how are you, jen?
[jenna] good.
[jenna speaking]
I am.
Can you believe you're going to be a godmother?
-[giovanna] at the age of 17. -At the age of 17.
[jenna] you're going to be a godmother.
I think it's funny.
Giovanna is my closest friend, she's my best friend.
Now, she's my only friend.
So, I decided to ask giovanna
to be luca's godmother just because
she stuck around this whole time during my pregnancy
since luca's been born, while everybody else my age, they're just...
Living an 18-year-old life.
-[luca gurgles] -[jenna] okay.
Come here.
You can, that's probably...
You hungry?
I love breastfeeding. I think it's amazing.
I'm a crunchy mom, did you not know?
Yeah, that's what I identify as, a crunchy mom.
-[luca gurgles] -[jenna in baby voice] aww, this a mommy boy.
Crunchy mom is someone who's just, like,
like, a breastfeeding, organic-loving, nature freak.
I do a lot of things with breastmilk.
I give him milk baths.
Yay!
Luke.
He eats breastmilk, he drinks breastmilk.
He does everything with breastmilk.
Breastmilk popsicles.
Make him breastmilk pancakes.
[jenna] mmm.
Oh, yeah, I've eaten breastmilk pancakes.
If you're a breastfeeding mom, you're totally lying
if you say you haven't had,
like a little lick of your milk.
It's very good for you.
I'm leaking, I knew it. Yeah.
Every time we're doing an interview, my boobs leak.
It's really embarrassing.
[chuckles]
[jenna speaks]
[giovanna] yeah.
I mean, last night I was breastfeeding luca,
trying to suck boogies out of his nose,
and aden wouldn't go fill up the humidifier.
He's just...
-I get he's tired, but, like, I need help, too. -[giovanna] yeah.
-You raise a kid all day. -I know.
Like, construction and raising a child are a little different.
Yeah.
Aden was so nice, he was so sweet,
and then it was after he got his job,
like, halfway through my pregnancy,
everything changed.
[groans]
come on.
Oh, yeah, let me just [bleep] fix that.
[softly] sorry.
[jenna speaks]
was the worst pain I ever felt in my life
but aden, he didn't care.
I can't breathe.
Like, we're over the honeymoon phase,
if, like... If that's what it is,
we're just... It's just like...
We're just...
Trying to get by in life now.
He's working to make money, and I'm just...
Taking care of luca, so I don't know.
It's lonely. You know what I mean, but, like...
You gotta pick.
You know. So, it's like-- that's...
You know.
[giovanna] is he home a lot?
Aden?
After, like, 4:00 on the weekdays,
and on the weekends, he still does side work and stuff, so.
[giovanna] he doesn't, like, take off on the weekends?
[jenna] not really.
Have you thought about, like, getting away from him for a little bit?
Not in a rude way. Not, like, breaking up with him, like...
Yeah, but even then,
it's just like... Then what do you do?
-I don't have help elsewhere. -[giovanna] yeah, that's true.
I mean, aden doesn't help me with luca,
but he takes care of us financially.
-So it's like... -[giovanna] yeah.
I mean, that's big.
Aden's more a provider
instead of an actual father.
And I don't think
being... Like, a financial father,
I don't think that's enough.
I know she does try to stand up for herself,
I just think it's really hard with someone like aden who never sees anything
that he does... Is wrong.
[giovanna] what are you going to do? Like, have you said anything to him?
'cause it's kind of getting, like, ridiculous.
No, I haven't really said much to him.
Just 'cause, like, what is there to say?
You say it a hundred times, it's... You know?
Aden knows how I feel.
But what else am I supposed to do?
'cause I can't go back to my dad's house.
I have not talked to my dad in four days.
Like, I have not talked to him.
I know. That's odd.
-Because you told me to... -Because...
-...Get the f out of your house. -...She's afraid of conflict.
You told me to get the f out of your house.
Why would I-- I'm not comfortable.
Between the drama with him and the crap with aden,
something needs to change
because I can't take it any more.
[sighs] hmm.
-[kylen] if the moms could come, that'd be great. -[jason] yeah.
I just want it to be our thing.
Not really the grandparents' thing.
-They're grandparents. -Every grandparent to every baby that is born...
My parents didn't have their parents in the room
when my mom gave birth to me.
It's ridiculous.
[erica] the kids think I'm strict.
But I wish I was stricter.
Got that tunnel vision♪
♪ I only see one way♪
♪ I got that tunnel vision♪
♪ I only see one way♪
[kylen] hi.
-I'm kylen. -Nice to meet you, I'm rebecca.
-I'm jason. -Nice to meet you. Come on in, guys.
[jason] today, we are visiting the birth center.
We kind of feel the hospital doesn't accept
unmarried, like, teenage dads and stuff like that.
They'll just direct everything towards kylen
and treat me like [bleep].
Yeah.
We were considering a home birth, but now
we're not really sure if we want to do that.
[kylen] so, we're thinking about the birth center.
I really hope this works out.
'cause I am 33 weeks pregnant.
And we're broke to have a baby.
So we gotta figure it out, like, now.
How's your pregnancy been going so far?
[kylen] um, good. I'd say. Yeah.
-[rebecca] yeah? -Yeah.
-[rebecca] how's your pregnancy been going, jason? -[kylen giggles]
-[rebecca chuckles] -it's good. It's definitely a lot of stress,
'cause being teens added stress.
[rebecca] for sure, absolutely.
So, you know, we don't have epidurals here.
-[kylen] yeah. -Were you planning to have a medication-free birth?
-No. -Oh, yes we were...
[jason speaking]
-[kylen] no. -[jason] medication-free.
No medication.
-No epidural. -Oh. Oh, yeah.
[rebecca laughs]
I thought she said, "were you planning on having it"?
-[rebecca] were you planning on not having it? -Yeah.
[rebecca] okay. Yeah.
[kylen] I wanna try without the epidural.
I have a lot of people on my side of the family that say it's so easy.
Yeah, none of them took the epidural.
They said it was painless and it's fine, so.
-[rebecca] do you know if you're having a boy or a girl? -[both] it's a boy.
-[kylen] we do want to get him circumcised. -Mmm-hmm.
I just don't know how that would...
You, like, make an appointment at the doctor's, or do you guys do it?
Who are you using as a pediatrician?
For myself?
[rebecca] no. Um--
[rebecca laughs]
-[kylen laughs] -[rebecca] no, for the baby.
The pediatrician can get you set up with the obs in this area.
Okay.
[jason] I do want him circumcised.
One, there's, like, infection if you don't.
And, two, you get more [bleep] when you get it done.
-[kylen giggling] -but... Yeah.
Do you want an elephant trunk,
or you want something that looks half-decent?
Sorry. [chuckles]
I don't know much about boys, so I just left that decision up to him.
Do you wanna look around and see the center?
[kylen] okay.
[rebecca] okay, so, this is one of our birth suites.
And, um, the baby can be born right in this tub.
You'd might notice this is a two-seater.
-[jason] yeah. Comfortably. -You know some brave partners get in there.
-[kylen] yeah. -You can catch the baby, if you want to.
[jason speaking]
rather do this than be in a hospital room, in a hospital bed.
Yeah.
I really like how the birth center includes men way more than the hospitals
I like it.
[kylen speaking]
[rebecca] um, right now, we're allowing, like, two people,
in addition to you.
-[kylen] if the moms could come, that'd be great. -[jason] yeah.
[rebecca] sure. No problem.
-[kylen] they can? -[rebeccca] that's fine, yeah.
[kylen] I really like that our moms can come.
At the hospital, they're not allowed to do that.
Yeah, it's kind of, like, an ongoing decision.
He feels awkward with it. [laughs]
not more or less awkward,
I just want it to be our thing.
Not really the grandparents' thing.
-They're grandparents-- -[kylen] every grandparent
-to every baby that is born... -My parents didn't have their parents in the room
when my mom gave birth.
I'm fine with them coming in after, I'm just saying...
-Oh. -[jason] ...During it, that's our thing.
-Maybe my family's different, but they come after-- -definitely...
We're definitely a lot different.
[kylen] you watch...
Okay.
Bye.
What's going on?
All right, he wants to know if you want to meet halfway,
or he'll meet you and get carver's, so you don't have to drive all the way.
Oh, that sounds perfect.
[attendant] okay, here's a latte...
[emersyn] mason lives an hour away,
but we don't have our license yet .
And I hate having to rely on people.
So having to keep asking my mom,
every weekend...
[emersyn speaking]
it's embarrassing.
I get frustrated because, she let her permit lapse.
She wanted to drive, so I was like, renew it.
"I've been calling, I've been calling, I've been call--
mom, nobody's answering."
I'm like, "for the love of god, you got pregnant."
figure out how to schedule an appointment with the dmv for your... License."
well, it is fun getting to know your family.
Well, my family, it's very interesting.
[erica chuckles]
how was this week?
This was your first week, right, with your mom... At back at home.
[mason] um...Yeah.
-It's really weird going without someone... -Mmm-hmm.
...For a really long time, and then just boom.
-They're back. -Like nothing.
Right, yeah.
My mom's been in and out of jail for a few years,
and she just recently went to rehab for a while.
And now she's out, and she's a lot better now that she's home, like...
I haven't seen her how she is now...
In over four, five years.
So I really hope she doesn't relapse,
but... You never know.
[erica] I just want...
You know, us to kind of have a routine...
So I want emmy to have a routine, her hormones are going to be crazy.
She's not going to be sleeping,
so being in the comfort of her home,
and kind of getting the baby on a schedule and staying home,
and quarantining, to keep it healthy.
It's good. So, having you come and bond with the baby.
But spending the night on the couch.
Um, how do you feel about that?
Being on the couch?
-Yeah. -I don't mind it.
-You don't mind? -Yeah, I don't.
'cause the futon folds out.
It's ridiculous.
[erica] the kids think I'm strict,
but she's probably not gonna like this, but I wish I was stricter.
Um, I'm still kicking myself for letting emersyn go to mason's house
when she got pregnant.
I just feel like I could have prevented it.
-Um... -I wasn't on any birth control,
I'd never been on birth control.
I know a lot of parents like to provide their children with birth control,
but I think by providing children with birth control,
you're saying it's okay to have sex.
"don't have sex, I know you're gonna have sex, so here."
um, so I didn't provide her with anything.
-Um, but we definitely had the sex talk. -Yeah.
Yeah.
I forgive you, and, you know, sometimes there's little...
-...Hiccups in life. -A little.
-[erica chuckles] -just a little...
Little hiccups.
You know, we're gonna roll with it,
but we still wanna set that standard in our home
that, you know, abstinence is the best.
-You know, god created that rule for a reason... -[emersyn] hmm.
...To protect us
and to make life easier for us.
[emersyn] hmm.
I've always thought of it being hypocritical,
when my mom, like, preaches abstinence to me because...
She got pregnant at 18.
I don't know, I feel like it's just [bleep] sometimes.
I'm like, teenagers have sex, I mean, what can you do?
I just feel it's just going to make me stay downstairs the whole time.
[erica sighs]
I don't want elena to think that... That...
That it's okay. And, I don't want liam to think that it's okay,
even though you're already pregnant.
-I understand... -Well, you know, it's just...
...Yeah, part of it.
I understand that it could be a bad impression,
I guess, for the younger ones in the family.
But I feel like it'd be good for my little brother,
to know that support should be there even through the night.
And, also,
I'd just like to have my privacy and alone time with mason, obviously.
So I guess I lost that privilege.
-So... -Well, it's not that you lost that privilege,
I would say you deserve to have privacy when you grow up.
You earn the job that gets you the finances...
To award you those comfortable moments in a family.
And they have not done that. And, it's understandable,
'cause they're too young to have done that.
Right now, she has a roof over her head.
And if they break the rules,
there are consequences.
They don't need to be in our home.
I sent her messages, and I get no replies.
-[cathy] yeah. -Nothing.
Jenna avoids things to avoid confrontation.
-For you to suck it up like always... -[matt] yeah...
[tiarra] he's a [bleep] idiot.
Tyra's going through these heartbreaks with alex,
it's just gonna...
Push her back even more. She's not going to feel like doing schoolwork,
she's not going to feel like being a mom.
-Will you bring me that suitcase? -[tyra] go, get it.
You put all her toys in there, didn't you?
[ella speaks]
[tiarra] yes, please.
Everything's about to fall out, she put all her toys in there, yeah.
Ohhh, you're strong.
-See. -What's all in here?
[ella speaking]
-mom, that's my-- -oh, my, god, wait a minute.
Why'd I just find my social security card?
What?
-[tiarra] it's literally just... -Why would it be in there?
I can't believe, the bottom of the suitcase
I found my social security card,
which is the reason that, I'm having to come back
to kentucky because
I need my social security card
to enroll myself into insurance in maryland.
That's so crazy. 'cause that's literally the only reason...
[tyra] tell mommy to keep up with her stuff and maybe,
-she wouldn't have to drive 11 hours back to the doctor. -I thought it was in here.
Ella, you must have get-- got it out of somewhere.
You must have got it out a secret pocket.
Did you get it out a secret pocket?
-No. -I think you did.
-No, I didn't. -I think you did.
No, I didn't.
I'm not surprised, like, at all, that tiarra just
casually finds her social security card
the day that we're travelling back to kentucky.
Ella must have discovered a new pocket that I forgot about
because it was laying right there with all her toys.
So she must have been using that as her credit card.
And, yeah... [chuckles]
[tiarra] um, are you packed? Have you got your bags packed and ready to go?
[tyra] I didn't really even unpack them, so...
I got to go get my clothes on. What time is it?
[tiarra] 10:03.
Okay, you get packed up.
Today, I'm going to be flying with tyra and ella
back to kentucky
for my doctor's appointment.
And I'm very thankful for tyra's help because
every time ella and I travel,
it's always very stressful, and it's always a hot mess.
And...
[sighs] ...It's just a lot of work.
[cell phone chimes]
[tiarra] what are you looking at?
-[tyra chuckles] -what?
Nothing, just of me and him. I don't know why.
[tiarra speaking]
that's weird.
Well, I mean, he's not my boyfriend, but I don't know...
[tyra] when alex sent me some, like, old pictures of us,
just, like, brought up good memories when we're actually happy together.
...We don't need to be in a relationship.
And, right now, alex is, like, visiting some girl,
that says she's pregnant by him,
I don't really know what she is.
I'm kind of confused.
But, I wish, like, he could get his [bleep] together
so, we could, like, have a good life with each other.
I don't know, it would be a lot easier on the both of us
if we could figure our [bleep] out.
The picture of us was so fun then.
[tyra laughs]
it was when we were in olmsted
in my room... When my room used to be pink,
when we're both looking in the mirror.
And then another one too.
It was actually, the other one was actually cute.
He's probably thinking about me.
[tiarra] he's a [bleep] idiot.
Alex kinda sucks.
I feel like, if you love someone,
if he truly loved his daughter,
he wouldn't treat tyra the way he does
and he would be there for layla.
Like, even before, like, when tyra was in college and stuff like that,
everyone praised alex for being such a good dad, and I was like,
if only y'all knew. He was out, running around,
cheating on tyra, that's like,
you're praising a guy that is, like, not deserving of that praise.
So... I don't know.
I said, "aw, the phase where you took pictures with me, the best."
obviously, if tyra accepts alex,
and they start dating again or whatever,
it's just gonna...
Push her back even more.
She's not going to feel like doing schoolwork,
she's not going to feel like being a mom.
And all this stuff, because she keeps going through
these heartbreaks with alex.
And, that worries me.
But we'll see what happens when we get back home.
[cathy] you know what, I don't know if I should take the cake out yet.
I think it kind of has to be refrigerated.
[matt] I wouldn't take it out yet.
I'm matt, jenna's dad and luca's grandfather.
I'm cathy, jenna's stepmom and luca's grammy.
How's the hot wing chicken?
-Buffalo chicken sandwiches? -Yeah.
-Is it... -[matt] yeah, looks good.
Today's my birthday, and we're just having a little get-together at the house.
[cathy] we're just going to have a few friends over,
matt's parents, um,
-jenna and aden and luca are supposed to come over. -Right.
What time is everybody coming?
[cathy] I think 5:30? That's what I told them.
What about aden and jenna?
I have no idea.
I sent her messages,
about a couple of different things,
within the past three weeks, and I get no replies.
-[cathy] yeah. -Nothing.
I haven't had much communication with jenna, really, at all.
It's been sporadic, at best...
Since the tell all.
Everything I say, you just gaslight me.
I'm not sure why she feels that way, though.
-Sure. -Can we-- no, timeout.
-Yeah. -Like, I'm so pissed off.
[crying] I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it.
-That's such a lie. -...'cause you're wrong...
[sobbing] we knew it's such a lie, like, I'm gaslighted...
-[cathy speaking indistinctly] -everything I say... It is such a lie.
Stop it! I'm gonna leave. It's such a lie.
It just all... Like at the tell all.
Everything just went freaking sideways.
And then she would keep threatening and saying, like,
-"I'm moving out. I'll just move out tomorrow. I can't--" -right.
"I can't deal with this."
and then, fine. I was just like, "then move out."
-if somebody's gonna keep threatening, it-- -yeah.
I mean, you're not gonna hold me hostage in my own home.
If you wanna move out, you move out.
Like, you... But if you wanna stay, stay.
-Like, she was... They were never kicked out. -No.
Never.
It'll be nice to see jenna and luca.
I just... I'm excited to see him.
I wish we could see him more often.
-[cathy] right. -I wish she would come over every day.
[both chuckle]
-I wish they'd move back in, for god's sake. -[cathy] yeah.
It sucked when they moved out because...
[chuckles] I think it's amazing to watch him grow.
I don't know,
it's one of the most rewarding things...
...You can ever imagine.
So even with all of the little petty arguments,
we still miss them dearly.
And, uh, I've just been reaching out to her
more and more because I'm...
I'm growing more antsy.
And, uh, it's my birthday
and I'm gonna try to use that as a little bit of an excuse
and leverage to try to get jenna over to the house.
Yeah.
-[cathy] hi, guys. -Hey, how are you?
-Hey. -What's up, man?
-How are you? -Good. How are you?
Good.
-Happy birthday! Love you. -Love you.
-Hi. How are you? -[cathy] okay.
-How are you? -[rosanne] good.
[michael jr. Speaking]
she should be on her way.
Goldfish?
Okay.
Why don't you play?
My plan was for me, aden, and luca to go visit them
and celebrate his birthday.
But luca has a runny nose and a cold.
And right now, I'm so on edge.
Plus, I can bet that my dad is gonna say something
to upset me or set me off.
So it's probably best that I just don't go at all.
There's, um, buffalo dip over there in the crockpot.
[michael jr.] sounds good.
-[cathy] is that enough? -[faint laughter]
-[cell phone chimes] -[cathy] um, and then,
there's hot, like, buffalo chicken sandwiches
and then pulled pork.
-[nicole] sounds good. -[joseph] okay.
-[nicole] and I'm loving this, the thing she had that night. -[joseph] yeah.
Jenna just sent me a text saying,
"hey, luca's really sick. I don't think we're going
to be able to come up."
I'm saying, "that's fine. I love you."
I mean, she needs to focus on that
-and that's the most important thing. Right. -[cathy] it's important.
-I mean, if he's sick, then-- -[rosanne] right, he's gonna be miserable.
-He needs to rest... -[rosanne] I know.
-...Before the, uh, baptism. -[rosanne] right.
I'll have another birthday.
[rosanne] yeah, you can't guess--
it's just, it kind of sucks a little bit.
In the back of my head, I kind of wonder that, if jenna is--
'cause she does this.
She avoids things to avoid confrontation.
And I was really hoping that jenna was gonna
be able to come over tonight, so we can
kind of put everything behind us.
Baptism's coming up.
I'm really looking forward to that.
I'm a little bit nervous, though, 'cause just...
...How bad it's been for so long.
I don't know.
I'm telling you.
You're thinking about another--
-yes, you are. -There's only one goddamn way.
No, it's not.
No, there's not, mom.
Me and my mom, we're too much alike
and that's why we always argue.
Shut up! Shut up!
Thank you.
-Here. Walk with mommy. -[tiarra] here. Come here, baby,
-oh, her blanket. -I have it.
I've been traveling from maryland to kentucky
every time I have a doctor's appointment
for this new baby.
It's not only hard being away from dee,
it's also hard to travel with a two-year-old.
It's always very stressful.
So I am very thankful for tyra's help
because when it's just me and ella, it's a lot harder.
[tyra] cuddle with her.
I like being pregnant until I get fat.
And right now I'm fat so... [chuckles]
I feel like I'm starting to get
maybe a little bit more moody and ill now
since I'm getting further along.
Um, I'm gaining so much more weight,
which is putting more pain on me.
And recently, I've been having some type of contractions
and they hurt so bad.
I'm just very stressed out about going back to kentucky.
Having these because, you know, I could honestly
go in labor any time, I feel like.
[tiarra speaking]
[tyra speaking]
I think this is the way we're supposed to go.
Give her a hug.
No, don't hit me.
I went to the wrong spot.
I went to the departure rather than arrival.
Oh, lord.
[michelle] I work night shift.
So, I'm overexhausted from work last night.
[tyra] mimi!
-[car honks] -[ella calls out]
[michelle] but I wouldn't want
no one else to take my daughters
to the airport or pick them up besides me.
You have to get in your car seat.
You gotta get in the car seat.
There's already one back there.
-[michelle] hi, pudding butt! -There's one back there. Get in your car seat.
Hurry. Hurry. Give mimi hug.
-[tiarra] here. Take the toys. -Mwah. I love you so much.
Me and my mom have a close relationship.
I feel like sometimes it's too close
and we're too much alike.
And that's why we always argue and we don't get along.
But my mom is always there whenever I need her.
Even if we had just had a huge argument
and we haven't agreed to things,
my mom's still gonna be there regardless.
Tiarra, what's your plans for this week
while you're here just a little bit of time?
I have an ultrasound appointment tomorrow
and then I have a regular ob appointment.
The way that I told my mom I was pregnant
for the second time was I put a t-shirt on ella
that says, "I'm going to be a big sister."
and I sent it in a group chat with her and my sister.
[mimi] so, I got the picture of ella and I was like,
"oh, that's so cute."
[mimi speaking]
-[chuckles] -and I'm like, "read the shirt!"
"like, she's gonna be a big sister.
Like, I'm pregnant."
[mimi] that was a cute picture though.
I'm not as worried
about tiarra being pregnant for the second time.
'cause I've seen how good she was with ella
so I know she'll be a good mama to the second one.
But I was worried the first time
when she was pregnant with ella
because she was only 15.
And I didn't even know she was sexually active.
She always said that she wasn't into that.
And dee was her first boyfriend.
And we was going to the gym.
And tiarra wants food, but she's throwing up.
And I'm like, "tiarra, are you pregnant?"
she said, "no, mom, I'm still a virgin."
I was walking back and forth, like,
"what the hell am I gonna do now?"
you know what I mean?
So, it was really, like, a big, big shock to me.
That's how I found out she was pregnant
and lost her virginity at the same [bleep] time!
[laughing]
I can't deal, mom.
-Don't start this dumb [bleep] . -[chuckles]
[tiarra] but we exit 98, mom.
No, 35.
-[tiarra] mom, 98 was right there. I just-- -I know.
We're not getting off at the exit, tiarra.
I'm just jumping over here.
Ninety-eight. I typed in springfield.
You take exit 98.
Mom thought an exit went from 98 to 36 and it does not.
Actually, the exit is 35 and it doesn't go like that.
You have to go down the road, like--
okay, you drive interstates all the time.
How long would it take to get from a 98 to a 35?
Please, somebody, I just wanna know.
How long would it take?
It would take, like, at least an hour. Am I right?
Okay. Exactly. Mom, an hour?
We would have been in [bleep] michigan.
-From springfield. -[laughs] no, it doesn't. It doesn't.
-Do you know how many times I drive this? -The 35 isn't on this.
-Yes, it is. -No, it's not on this one.
No, it's not. It's on the other exit.
If we go up, mom, it's not gonna go back down.
I know which exit you're talking about,
but it's not on this one.
-[mimi] no, it's not. It all runs together, tyra. -[tyra] yes, it is.
I'm telling you. You're thinking about another--
-yes, you are. -There's only one god damn way!
-No, it's not. -[tiarra] no, there's not, mom.
-Okay. -The way I always go.
[tiarra] okay, mom, I'm glad you know everything.
It is, too!
-I mean, damn. -Shut up. Shut up.
-You're [bleep] nuts. -[tiarra chuckles]
you all woke me up, bitching. I didn't do nothing.
[tiarra] neither one of you all can [bleep] drive.
I pray to god that I don't go into labor
while I'm in kentucky because I don't know
that I can rely on these two.
[all laughing]
[kylen] we wanna do a water birth, I think.
[laughs] I don't know.
We feel like jason is controlling everything.
And, uh, we're concerned that she's walking
into a birth plan that's set up
for his needs and not hers.
♪ I'm unstoppable ♪
♪ here to prove that anything's possible ♪
♪ unstoppable ♪
[michael] you wanna do it or you want me to?
You can if you want.
[kylen] okay, dad, that's enough.
-I don't know if she knows it, but we miss her. -[chuckles] yeah.
[michael] it's so nice to have you guys over.
[marie] kylen moved in with jason's parents.
And I'd like to see more of her, but...
[kylen] I've gotta grow up at some point.
You did. You are.
And even if you don't want to, you have no choice now.
[voice shaking] no, I don't. I have to.
But, yeah.
Are you getting excited or scared?
Both, I guess. I don't know.
[marie] how was your visit with the midwives?
Did you feel comfortable?
Yeah?
The hospital looks down on teenage pregnancies
or, like, single parents.
[jason speaking]
[michael] I was surprised you guys didn't want
to give birth in the hospital.
It's just a better environment.
And at this midwife's, they talk to him,
ask questions to him.
See how he's doing, how he feels with it.
[jason] yeah, they definitely do.
They include me more than the hospital does.
He wants to be involved with it all.
Otherwise, he gets a little upset.
-Yeah. -Well--
-he goes to his appointments. -Every one. And for the rest of the time being
of me having baby appointments,
it was just him.
[michael] yeah, but I believe...
She would've loved it if she could've been
going to them appointments with her daughter.
Mother and daughter thing, you know, with the grandchild.
-It's a dad thing. -Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, but it's a mom thing, too.
Yeah, probably, I don't know how it is.
I'm not saying it's bad that way.
But I'm just---
I'm saying your mother would've felt good--
-yeah. -...Once or twice to go with her daughter to--
-yes! -...Like, an appointment--
-...And spend some time with you. -[kylen] okay.
-I'm the fly that she flicks off her shoulder. -[laughs]
no, it kind of means just shut up. [chuckles]
stop.
What are you planning for your birth?
[kylen] we wanna do a water birth.
I think.
[jason speaking]
[chuckles] I don't know.
They have a big two-person tub that you sit in.
Does that mean you deliver?
-You get to catch him? -Yeah.
It's almost like when I'm talking to my daughter,
I'm talking to my daughter through him.
I'm not actually talking to my daughter.
We feel like jason's controlling everything.
And, uh, we're concerned that she's
walking into a birth plan that's set up
for his needs and not hers.
Yeah.
She's the one having the baby, not him.
We probably want you guys coming in, like...
Right after we give birth or a little bit after.
-An hour after, maybe? -Come see the baby.
I'll probably be in the parking lot
doing donuts.
[both laughing]
-waiting for it to be born. -Hmm.
I just wanna see the baby.
No. Uh, next question.
I'm not trying to start issues.
We were thinking moms, but...
[scoffs]
it's...
If he would...
Yeah. I gotta talk to jason.
[kylen] mmm.
-Don't answer. -I'm her mom.
And you're having a baby. That's a big thing.
-I said don't answer. -[stammers] okay.
-Well-- -no.
[exhales]
well, when you go have that baby,
I'm gonna be worried.
And I'm gonna worry until I know what's going on.
I'll be fine.
[narrator] next time on unexpected...
She said a man can lactate.
Is that true?
I feel like if we were to take more classes,
I'd feel more prepared, but I do not think I'm ready.
Nope.
[jenna] I'm nervous about seeing my parents today.
My dad's petty.
My mom is crazy.
Put that in a pot and... [mimics explosion]
[doctor] your iron is super low.
I suggest that you restart the iron.
[tiarra] I do have, like, low iron right now.
And that's concerning
because I could bleed out going into labor,
especially with having a c-section.
And, like, I'm terrified.
First, you go ahead and get in and then I'll work my way.
I'm taylor.
I'm 20, and I'm also pregnant again.
I wonder what they have to say about the pregnancy pact now
because I'm not pregnant.
Guess you broke it.
[lilly] we have a pretty solid plan.
Hopefully, packing the moving truck
and the move-in day will go smoothly.
[lawrence] she didn't tell me anything.
-[kim] lawrence! -We told you this probably about 50 times!
-[lawrence] you didn't. -[lilly] we're loading the truck.
-[lawrence] no. -We've been telling you this for weeks.
Men just don't [bleep] listen.
