[woman] this season on unexpected...
[chuckling] no!
[woman] get under the neck a little bit.
Oh, my!
She said a man can lactate.
Is that true?
I just heard about it.
[giggling] oh, yeah. It's super easy, babe.
I'm kylen, I'm 17 years old and I'm pregnant.
I'm jason. I'm 18 years old and I'm the father.
[laughing]
it's crazy. We all have girls.
-You see your sissy, ella? -[woman] look at the baby. Aw.
I'm tiarra, I'm 18 and I'm pregnant again.
[woman] it's taylor's turn.
I'm taylor. I'm 20 and I'm also pregnant again.
I'm tyra and I'm not pregnant
and don't plan on getting pregnant again.
When was the last time you had sex with him?
How can you enjoy that knowing he's been with that girl?
[tyra] it's possible that alex got another girl pregnant.
I feel like if you love someone,
he wouldn't treat tyra the way he does
and he would be there for layla.
-How was the appointment? -[emersyn on phone] good.
She said...
Okay! [laughs] I don't need to be here for this conversation.
[mason] okay.
I'm emersyn. I'm 18 years old and I'm pregnant.
[erica] I didn't ever expect to be pregnant at the same time as my daughter,
but here we are. [chuckles]
jenna just sent me a text saying,
"hey, I don't think we're gonna be able to come out."
-why can't you bring your ass over to the house? -Maybe I just don't want to.
-We got approved. -Approved for what?
The apartment. We're moving out!
Ever since the move happened, we've been fighting more.
I'm not having two beds in our room.
What sense does that make?
-We have our own! -Because I get more sleep
if I have aaliyah sleeping in the room with me.
I want to cancel the whole move.
You're a child.
I don't see how I'm a child for wanting to spend time with my parents.
[mocking] kylen doesn't get to see her parents. "wah!"
I have huge concerns about you going over there.
At mason's house there's no rules.
Anything goes over there.
[woman] if something happens to her baby it's your [bleep] fault!
I'm very disappointed in tyra for acting like this.
[jenna] we're over the honeymoon phase.
We're on the way to the hospital to...
Have a baby!
Do I look like I'm about to have a baby?
[whimpering] ow!
[woman speaking]
[jason speaking]
[screaming]
[emersyn] the pain's so unbearable.
Like, what's happening?
[woman screaming]
♪ you've got me spinning ♪
♪ you've got me spinning babe ♪
you ready?
-I don't know how much I should put. -Give me it.
The volume's all the way up.
[ultrasound whooshes]
-you wanna try and find it? -Yeah, let me find it.
It sounds cool.
I'm kylen, I'm 17 years old and I'm 32 weeks pregnant.
I'm jason, I'm 18 years old and I'm the father.
We've been dating for almost a year.
I first noticed him on his friend's snapchat, 'cause I was friends with him.
So I slid up and I asked for his snapchat for my friend.
When in reality, I wanted it.
[jason] I thought she was very cute. She was the party girl
and I was, like, more of a f-boy.
An f-boy is a person who goes from girl to girl, or has multiple girls
and just get as many as you can.
It's like a game, I guess.
I probably did hurt a couple of girls' feelings, which...
My bad, but kylen's beautiful.
-I caught feelings very fast for her. -[laughs]
we started having sex, like, the second day we met or the third.
[laughing]
[ultrasound whooshing]
see if you can find a stronger spot.
Right there.
-There it is. -[heartbeat on ultrasound]
147. [giggles]
healthy baby.
I wasn't, like,
hoping to get pregnant this soon,
but I wasn't, like, disappointed about it. I was definitely excited
when I found out and, like, very happy about it.
[kylen] I was shocked.
I just looked up and I was, like...
Wasn't planned, just...
An oopsie.
I have this sort of thing where I don't like condoms and I don't use them.
Well, you put it on and then took it off.
[laughing]
look what happened!
[continues laughing] oh, my god.
Can't wait to meet him.
[kylen] me neither.
I'm excited.
I'm nervous at the same time, though.
[jason] mmm-hmm.
We found out the gender about a month ago.
We did a gender reveal at my boathouse.
We did the poppers.
[woman] it's so exciting, I'm shaking.
Oh, there it goes, there it goes, there it goes!
Ready?
[all cheering]
[jason speaking]
it was really cool to find out.
I almost cried on the dock, but...
Yeah.
I'm gonna raise him to be just like me.
Which my parents want, too,
'cause they want me to deal with what they had to deal with, but...
-We got a cheese and we got a pepperoni. -[scott] nice.
Thanks.
-Thank you, girls. -[heidi] welcome. Don't drop it, jason.
I'm heidi and I'm jason's mom.
I'm scott, jason's dad.
[heidi] we've had some struggles with him growing up.
He was definitely a hard kid. [chuckles]
[scott] we had lots of rules for jason.
He broke every rule.
School was a bit of a struggle.
He dropped out.
He had a lot of buddies and did a lot of fun stuff.
Driving too fast. He had his license taken away.
Oh, we tried, but...
He broke those rules too.
He's a stud. I don't know.
[parents laughing]
[heidi] do you feel like you're ready?
Ky?
-Done being pregnant? -Oh, yeah.
-That, definitely. -She hasn't quite got the waddle yet, though.
-No, I do it sometimes. -[jason] she waddles.
[laughs]
we're happy to have kylen in the house, absolutely.
-Well, jason's our only child. -[heidi] right, so...
I definitely feel like kylen's a daughter I never had, but...
I found out she was pregnant when jason hands me a card
and I thought it was a "just because" card.
And when I opened it up, it said, "grandma, you mean so much to me."
I had a few choice words that probably weren't very nice.
[heidi and scott laugh]
yeah, my reaction when I found out, I did swear a little bit.
-She was, like, "what the [bleep]?" -[all laugh]
[kylen] "I'm gonna be a grandma?"
you hadn't been together that long so I was just a little surprised.
We just know as parents what it's like to raise children nowadays.
-Right. -It's not...
-Not easy. -Yeah.
-But it doesn't mean I'm not supportive. -No.
It's a lot of work, lot of hard work, a lot of commitment,
but it's the decision they made.
That's what they gotta live with.
The fun's over.
-"we did a" what? -Home birth.
[scott] so, what, you do the birth?
-Like... -[kylen] no.
-We have a doula. -[scott] a doula?
[heidi] right, I was gonna say,
do you have a doula or something?
We tried the hospital
for the appointments and stuff, but it felt like they don't like
involving unmarried men or, like, teenage dads and stuff like that
'cause they don't think they're gonna "stick,"
or something like that, I don't really know.
So I felt like I was left out,
so we're looking at other birth options.
[kylen] but I'm not really sure how I feel about it.
Yeah.
Well, make sure you do your homework and research.
If that's what you wanna do then.
If we did the at-home birth, though, it's $3,000.
Oh.
Putting in a little overtime then, huh?
Yeah, uh...
Hey, need some help.
Always willing to help you out.
You know that, jason. I love you.
But I'm not gonna help you if you're not gonna help yourself.
-I do help myself. -Okay.
Am I just gonna finance the whole thing? No.
If he pitches in, I'll pitch in too.
I think scott and I both feel that jason has some growing up to do.
He's not the most motivated.
They think I sit on the couch and play video games, but I literally don't
I literally wake up at 6:00 every day and I'm out of bed, doing stuff.
Jason, you're not up when I get ready for work.
[jason] not when I don't have to be.
If I don't have to fricking wake up, you know damn well I'm gonna sleep.
[scott] everything in life is not for free. Taxes.
-Rent. -Rent.
Electricity, phone, diapers and formula.
There's so many teen parents that literally get rich.
Because when you start at a younger age, it's way easier to achieve your goal.
-Make it happen. -That would be great.
-Get successful. -Right.
[jason] I got a plan.
[scott] I hope you do.
Actions speak louder than words.
Get ready, 'cause for the rest of your life you're gonna be paying.
Yeah.
They act like I do nothing, think that [bleep] pisses me off.
-It does. -[heidi] we didn't say you didn't do anything.
[jason] well, stop acting like I need to get a job,
when I've had a job.
Well, that-- I'm sorry, I'm touching you
I don't like their opinions on my life.
'cause, it's my life and even if it's the wrong thing,
I'll figure it out my way.
[scott] then figure it out.
Because, all of a sudden, boom, you're gonna have a baby. Real soon.
[heidi] any day now. Yes
♪ ah-ah it's like a firework ♪
♪ ah-ah-ah it's like a firework ♪
[lilly] we got approved!
-We got approved. -[lawrence] what?
-We got approved. -[lawrence] approved for what?
The apartment. [screaming] we're moving out!
-What? -We're moving out!
-Oh, boy! -[lawrence] are you excited?
Grandpa's having a party.
-[lawrence] are you excited? -Yes!
[glenn laughs]
I'm lilly and I'm 20 years old.
And I'm aaliyah. I'm three.
And I'm lawrence. I'm 20 years old.
And this is lj, seven months old.
What is she ordering?
-Six inflatable dual water slide... -[aaliyah] I'm...
-Total $500? What are you ordering? -[laughs]
[aaliyah speaking]
you better be careful 'cause your card
-is linked on that. -[lilly] my card is linked up to her ipad.
I, as, like, a 14- and 15-year-old girl,
I pictured 20-year-old lilly to be this girl
that somehow was really rich, but didn't have a job.
Didn't answer to anybody and had no responsibilities.
Was like catching planes, doing whatever I wanted. When I wanted to do it.
And now, boom, here I am, 20 years old with two kids...
And a fiance.
It was definitely not what I pictured it to be...
But I do love my life.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Aaliyah has a very big personality.
She is very smart, she talks a lot,
she's very sassy.
[lilly] we're gonna brush our teeth and go to bed.
-No, mommy. -[lilly] yes, sweetheart!
No, mom.
For me things were rough when we first brought lj home from the hospital.
Can I hold him?
I'm the big sis.
[kim] mommy will help. It's gonna be fine.
-[lilly] it's gonna be fine. -It's gonna be fine.
You do gotta realize, the baby was, what three, four days old
around that time. I was protecting my newborn baby.
Once aaliyah had gotten like used to being around lj,
and they started interacting and stuff more...
Kind of like having a little, you know what I mean, brother-sister type thing.
Not as protective, I'm gonna say...
As overprotective.
Aaliyah kind of learned boundaries.
And she knows what to do and what not to do with the baby.
Lj is starting to run around in his walker.
Go, lj! Go, lj!
He's teething, he's got two teeth already.
But he's biting everything
-[kim laughing] -[aaliyah] ow.
[lilly] you're getting spit on your eyebrow.
[lawrence] life's been pretty good.
I feel like we're a real full family right now. You know what I mean?
When are we moving?
[lilly] June 1st.
-[kim] that's only three weeks. -[lilly] June 1st.
-[kim] did you really like the place? -Yes!
If we were to pass this up
we probably wouldn't move out of your house for another two years.
We've been searching for months.
[glenn] see, the good lord's watching. I'm gonna do the irish jig.
[glenn humming happily]
I'm kim, lilly's mom.
I'm glenn, kim's husband.
[kim] and we are the grandparents.
I help clean, I help do so much in the morning.
When you're sleeping, I feed her breakfast every day.
I get up with her every morning.
Like, you're not gonna have me to help you do that.
-You're gonna have to do it all, you. -It's gonna be fine.
I mean, I'm okay with them leaving.
I just wanted them to be in a place that I felt was...
-Which would never happen. -...Gonna be better.
It would never be the perfect place.
No.
-Never gonna happen. -Well, that's not true.
She kept saying to me, "home is better, home is better."
well, home is better than this place, that is far away. [laughs]
-[kim] I worry. -I know you worry,
-but I gotta grow up and not live with you sometime. -[kim] I know.
[lilly] can't live in mommy's house forever.
I agree. You gotta have your own.
I got two kids, it's time for me to fly the nest.
I know!
I just feel like this is good for us.
This is our time to finally be on own and build our family up.
[kim] yeah.
-And you know, it's just... -[glenn] the future.
-Yeah, yeah. -[kim] the future yeah.
[lilly] feels like a dream!
We gotta go shopping tomorrow.
-[kim] so, you need dishes? -I need dishes, I need silverware,
-I need pots and pans... -[kim] lawrence,
you guys have the money for all this?
I need oven mitts. We need two tvs.
-Yeah. -[kim] yeah?
We need a kitchen table, we need a mount for the tv.
Those are expensive.
[lawrence speaking]
well, lilly and I definitely need to put together some type of budget,
'cause I guess I had no idea how much it realistically cost to move into an apartment.
It's like a shock, you know, like, you're going from--
imagine being 20 years old
being expected to pay [bleep] $2,400 in rent in a month.
Have extra bills on top of that.
You got your own [bleep] to deal with. Like, it's hard.
It's hard.
So, does that mean you guys are gonna wanna get married now?
Well, I think I'm not gonna have to come home
and live in your house after my wedding.
-Probably. -[lawrence] yes.
Last year, lawrence and I got engaged.
Oh, my god! No way.
-Will you marry me? -Oh, my god.
Yes!
No way. Which hand does it even go on?
I love you!
Lawrence and I started talking more seriously about getting married this year.
But we didn't wanna get married in then just go back to living with my mom.
And weddings are expensive.
I also don't wanna rush it.
Like, we're not even engaged a year yet.
But now that we're getting an apartment together,
I feel like getting married is the final step
that we could take in our relationship.
[kim] aaliyah, what do you think about moving out?
Excited? We're not gonna see gram a lot.
-[aaliyah] why? -Because she's gonna be kind of far away.
[lawrence] I am very grateful for her family.
I really appreciate everyone's help.
But I'm moving out.
Just 'cause I simply don't wanna live under their roof anymore.
I just feel like her mom...
It'd be way better off once we move.
It's gonna be way better off.
Hopefully. We'll see.
[emersyn] what are we gonna talk about with mason's dad?
How much they wanna be involved on their side.
I wouldn't say I'm eager to meet mason's family.
When she got pregnant, I was very angry.
-[ernie] are we going up? -Yeah.
[erica] abbie, what time do you have to have to work?
[abbie] at 2:00.
-[erica] at 2:00? -[abbie] mmm-hmm.
[erica] liam, don't you have a baseball game today?
You're welcome.
-[erica] do you need help, emersyn? -Yeah.
I'm emersyn, I'm 18 years old
and I'm 34 weeks pregnant.
I'm erica, I'm 42 years old and I'm emersyn's mom.
When emersyn told me she was pregnant,
I was actually just entering into my second trimester of pregnancy myself.
It felt a little overwhelming,
I thought, "oh, my, I didn't ever expect to be pregnant,
at the same time as my daughter."
especially because I really didn't know if emersyn had been having sex.
I think I had an idea,
but I didn't really know.
What are we gonna talk about with mason's dad?
Well, you got a baby coming, sweetheart, so...
I really wanna get to know ernie, just get on the same page with,
you know, when mason can come here, what his work schedule is,
what his plans are and how much
they wanna be involved on their side, afterwards.
Is there a certain amount of time he can sleep here until he has to go home?
Yeah, we're gonna talk about it.
Emersyn said she was practicing safe sex when she got pregnant.
Do I believe her?
I would like to believe her,
but when you're constantly lied to,
it's hard to know what the truth really is.
Yeah.
When I got pregnant,
me and my mom did not have a good relationship.
And me and my stepdad, sai, didn't have a good relationship either.
I was a really rebellious child.
[emersyn] oh, my god.
I did not care what the rules were.
I would always...
I wouldn't say always sneak out, but,
if I had the chance to, I would.
And eventually, my stepdad, sai, took my door off.
I was very angry.
[erica] we both were at our wits' end.
And I had learned that she was smoking marijuana in our house.
Which is illegal.
After that, we looked for a military school for her,
but then covid hit, so she didn't end up going.
-Um... -Thank god.
[laughs] she wasn't looking forward to that
and then this happened and here we are. [chuckles]
doing okay?
[emersyn] does this one look cooked enough?
Yeah, that one looks good.
I feel like we're...
Closer than we were before.
But I feel like our relationship is a complicated one.
All right, so, bacon is going to go from here into
the microwave, 'cause I gotta put the quiche in the oven.
[emersyn] okay.
I think this looks cooked.
Ooh.
I found out I was pregnant when I was on a camping trip with...
Mason.
We had a test already
'cause I noticed earlier,
in the camping trip, that it was late.
And then,
I realized again, "oh, my period still hasn't come, let me take the test."
and I go to the bathroom and take it,
and my mouth was just like...
I was so speechless.
I just started crying 'cause I had to tell my parents.
I thought my mom was gonna...
So, you were more scared to tell me than to actually have a baby?
-Yep. -[erica] wow.
Mmm-hmm.
I thought she got pregnant on the camping trip.
-So, I didn't know that... -[both laugh]
which is funny 'cause you told me, "make good choices."
and then I come back...
[erica] okay, so, what time is mason coming?
-Is he on his way? -[emersyn] mmm.
Yeah, he should be here any minute.
Okay, so, we still gotta get the fruit on the table,
we need to get some napkins out
the quiche in the oven...
Me and mason have been together a little over 11 months.
And, today, like, was actually the first time
my mom has invited mason and his dad into our house.
I'm mason, I'm 17 years old and I'm the father.
[emersyn] we met online.
[mason] yeah, we met through social media.
He was, like, my guitar guy.
Like, my guitar buddy,
'cause I like people that have the same interests as me.
She was...
-Cute girl that played guitar. -Mmm, "cute girl."
but he lives an hour away.
Because of the distance and covid going on,
we're basically forced to just keep the relationship online,
for, like, what, five months?
-Yeah. -Yeah.
I'd be, like, "mom, can I just go to his house
and meet him?" she's, like, "no,
he'd kidnap you."
-I'm like, "okay." -[laughs]
she did some type of background check on him,
to make sure he wasn't, like, a pedophile or anything.
I don't know if you know that.
-No, did not know that. [laughs] -um...
Yeah, my mom watches a lot of murder documentaries.
She's got a good idea of what's out there.
Yeah, I'm not a murderer, though, so...
-Thank god. -Yeah.
[erica] I wouldn't say I'm eager to meet mason's family.
When I found out she was pregnant, I was definitely not happy
with mason and his family.
Honestly, because when she got pregnant,
my first thought was to blame them
because I felt like I trusted them when I was dropping
or letting my daughter go to their house.
And then this happened.
So, I was just very angry.
And I never said anything to mason and his dad,
but I just wanted nothing to do with them whatsoever.
I never wanted my daughter back there.
I was...
-I didn't know that. -Very angry.
Wow.
[mason] I'm really nervous.
When me and mason went on our first,
like, date when we first met each other,
my mom dropped me off and she just, like, briefly talked to ernie.
And when I got pregnant, I knew she was very angry.
So, I don't know what she thinks about him, you know?
But I think it would be a good idea to find out.
It was, like, 3:00 in the morning
and his phone was, like, blowing up like crazy.
I'm not really sure, like, when alex and this girl started talking.
He didn't really tell me until, like, after I found out.
She called me, telling me all this different stuff.
Supposedly, like, she's pregnant.
♪ uh-huh, uh-huh, oh ♪
-what? -[layla babbles]
why don't you just drink out of the juicy box.
You don't wanna drink out of the straw like a big girl?
I'm tyra, I'm 20 years old
and I have a two-year-old daughter named layla.
She's the most perfect little angel in the world.
Sometimes.
[shouts]
[tyra] why are you being so mean today? That's not nice.
She's in the terrible twos right now.
Literally.
[crying]
[tyra] get in there.
No!
[tyra] do you want your phone and your shows?
[layla screaming] no!
She likes to tear up everything in my house, she's messy...
[tyra] and mommy just cleaned it.
[layla babbles]
sometimes lately, it's been bad.
I'm like, "I'm gonna call you a new mommy."
she's like, "no! No, you're my mommy. I don't want a new mommy!"
and I'm like, "good. Keep it like that. Keep it like that."
-do you love me? -[layla chuckling]
how much?
Show me how much you love me.
[layla speaking]
two dollars' worth? That's all I get?
[layla] uh-huh.
I love you a billion ka-trillion dollars.
Me and layla are definitely, like, so close.
And it's just like, when she's with me,
every single day that she has been
in comparison of, like, last year when I was leaving layla with alex
and alex's grandmother, going to college two hours away.
I was still coming back as much as I could,
but leaving her even for one day was so not fun for me.
[alex] layla, say bye-bye to momma?
[babbles]
my college is about two-and-a-half hours away.
[alex] where are you at?
Are you about here, tyra?
[tyra on phone]
[alex] well, that sucks.
[tyra] layla, hi!
[alex] it's been almost a month since we've seen each other and, like,
the distance is causing a strain on our relationship and it kinda sucks.
[tyra] so, last year, I transferred to a closer school.
And about seven months ago, alex and I got our own house with layla.
Here, baby. Here, go take this to the trash.
-Um... -Go take this to the trash.
[babbles]
and pick up your straw that you threw on the floor.
Please and thanks.
[layla babbles]
when me and alex first moved in together,
things were good between us.
And then, a couple of months ago, things started, like, changing.
[layla speaking]
oh, hi, layla!
I'm melissa and I'm 40 years old and I'm tyra's mom.
It was hard to raise my kids young.
But I feel like it gave us a stronger bond
and when she needs me, she's gonna call me, I'm gonna be there.
-And when I need her, which is never... -[laughs]
I call her and she doesn't come.
-So... -Shut up! No!
-You're a l-- that's so rude. -[chuckles]
[tyra] so, yesterday, me and alex, we just kinda had a heart-to-heart about...
Our relationship. It's very obvious
that we're both upset with how things are going right now.
When we moved, it was just, like, we were so...
Happy to finally like get on our feet together, we get a house,
we pay our bills on time, alex has a job.
And then...
I don't know, it just recently started, like, going backwards,
like, two months ago,
when he told me he was seeing someone else.
I was, like, you don't understand how bad it hurts
when I'm not doing anything to him, like, I'm not talking to other guys.
I'm still being faithful to him, when he has a whole other girlfriend.
I'm not really sure the actual,
like, timeline of when alex and this girl started talking.
He didn't really tell me until after I had found out.
He was just like, "I kinda just wanna do my own thing."
I was, like, "all right."
he should have told me that before we got a house together.
And supposedly he had been telling me for a while, but...
We were sleeping in the same bed every single night.
So how did you--
when did you let me know that you wanted to start seeing other people?
So, I noticed, like,
it was 3:00 in the morning
and his phone was blowing up like crazy.
I guess, like, she was calling him or whatever.
And then, he ended up leaving.
And then she called me.
She was, like,
"I know alex was with you, I know y'all didn't do anything." and I was, like,
"girl, if you still believe him, you're stupid."
when was the last time you had sex with him?
[melissa] tyra.
You nasty ass!
How can you look at him and enjoy that knowing that he's been with that girl?
[bleep]
I don't care.
I mean, she was sleeping with him while...
We were together, so...
I mean, I can't tell alex no,
ever.
And alex can't tell me no either, so...
Just part of the relationship, I guess.
That's y'all's bond, can't tell each other no.
But you need to learn the [bleep] word, n-o.
Supposedly, like, she's pregnant.
And I was, like, if alex is--
supposedly, alex is supposed to be moving down there with her, like, next week.
He's supposed to be moving down there.
If he wants to be with her, he needs to go be with her.
And leave you alone and let you get on with your life.
You need to focus on your school,
your cheer, and like what--
I know I look stupid for going back to someone
that has done me so wrong, so many times.
It's, like, what do you expect?
They're, like...
They've showed you, and they've showed you and they've showed you.
It's like, what do you expect this time that's going to change?
But if this girl isn't lying
and if she is actually pregnant.
That would honestly be my breaking point where I would never
be with alex ever again in my life,
is him having a kid with someone else.
Will emersyn be able to, like, come over often?
I have hesitations,
definitely, about her taking the baby over there.
'cause I don't trust them.
♪ please don't turn it down 'cause I like it loud ♪
[mason] all righty.
And we're here.
[erica] okay.
Okay, mason's here, so we need to greet our guests.
I'm mason, I'm 17 years old
and my girlfriend, emersyn, is pregnant.
I'm ernie, I'm 61 years old,
and my 17-year-old son, mason, is going to be a father.
[mason] door's open, but I assume we knock.
Emmy's mom invited us over for brunch.
But I'm kinda nervous 'cause I don't know how she feels about me.
I know she's not happy that I got her daughter pregnant.
So, this could be kinda awkward.
[ernie] yeah.
Very awkward.
Come on, in.
Welcome.
Mason.
When I found out she was pregnant.
I thought maybe mason,
you know, wanted emersyn to get pregnant,
so that they would stay together.
[scoffs] no.
Either way, I was definitely not happy
with mason and his family. [chuckles]
I felt like she had her future stolen from her, in a way.
I felt betrayed, lied to.
It was hard, it was really hard.
-[emersyn] mmm, I missed you. -[mason] missed you too.
How was your ride?
Not as long as I expected it to be.
Mason lives an hour away.
So, it would take planning
-for us to see each other and hang out. -Yeah.
On our first date, both families went to the zoo.
And then, we hung out a couple days later at mason's house.
We had sex in his room.
[laughs] that's what happened.
His dad wasn't as strict as my parents.
'cause, at my house, we couldn't go in my room.
Because that basically leads to sex.
And then that leads to mateo.
Yeah.
Yep.
Ernie, I'm sure you remember what it's like having toys
-all over the place. -[ernie] oh, yep, I still do.
-In my defense... -[laughs]
'cause I'm assuming it happened at my place.
I go to sleep at night.
When my eyes are closed and I'm in rem state,
I have no idea what's going on around me.
Unless fire alarms go off.
But there was no fire alarms for this.
So...
Yep.
I'm sure there was some sneaking around going on, so...
It's not his fault, he-- [stammers]
-yeah, it isn't my fault I didn't do anything. -[laughs]
[erica] big changes coming up. New baby.
-Emersyn is telling me that your mom's coming home. -[ernie] yeah.
[erica] I'm sure everybody's excited about that.
-[mason] yeah, for the most part. -Yes.
-Well, I'm sure she's excited to be a grandma. -[ernie] yeah.
Yeah, yeah, she's very excited.
Good.
For the past three-ish years, my mom's been kind of in and out of my life.
My mom had cancer.
And she had surgery.
And she became addicted to fentanyl.
It would kinda mess with her mind.
Like, she would think there was things there that weren't.
She went to jail the first time on my 15th birthday.
And then she was in another jail for a few years.
At first, my mom not being around, it made me a little sad.
But I still talk to her
and she's clean and she's trying to stay clean.
So, I really hope she doesn't relapse,
but you never know.
You guys ready to eat?
-[girl] yeah. -You wanna come eat?
[family member] let's go eat, baby.
[erica] eat up.
We're gonna be family.
Gotta get comfortable.
[people chuckle]
I'm just getting to know mason and his family.
I've actually never met mason's mother.
I don't know her background, I don't know her belief system.
And I hope to get to know her so I can feel comfortable.
But I've always been uncomfortable
with my kids going to other people's homes until I know them.
But it is what it is.
So, I just was kinda hoping that,
getting together, we could just all be on the same page.
What questions do you have that I can answer?
Will emersyn be able to, like, come over often?
Because I have family there that wants to see you.
-First one. Yeah. -Yeah, it's the first grandbaby.
-You're working from home, right? -[ernie] mmm-hmm.
Probably just another--
the rest of this month and they're planning on going back next month.
I have hesitations,
definitely, about her taking the baby over there.
'cause I don't know what kind of environment,
I mean, the baby would be in with them.
But, also, I'm kinda concerned that...
[chuckles nervously]
that she'll get pregnant again.
That's a concern of mine.
That's not gonna happen.
Well, I just don't trust them.
Oh, my god.
Oh, she did it herself.
I don't wanna do home birth,
but if he doesn't get his way,
he gets pissed off.
[jason] you guys want to watch this video with us?
[heidi] I'll sit next to you, ky.
Oh, jeez.
[kylen] uh... [chuckling nervously]
I don't know if I want to watch this.
[heidi] don't be scared.
[all laughing]
[jason] yeah, this is just like how an at-home birth would be.
[kylen] yeah, it's kinda like...
[jason] so we get one of those pools.
[kylen] yeah.
My dad told me to research about home births.
But we think it's dumb because we already know what it's about.
And that's what we wanna do.
[jason] oh, man.
Oh, my god.
Oh, she did it herself.
[heidi] it's at-home birthing.
[kylen] well, I didn't--
most people don't do it themselves.
Sometimes it happens that way.
I was kinda surprised they wanted to have a home birth.
I honestly didn't know it existed.
But, jason and kylen decided to have a home birth.
Heidi and I will probably decide to maybe take a day or two off.
That way we don't have to listen to the screams or...
The whole birthing process
and have to clean up afterwards and stuff like that.
[kylen laughing]
[heidi] jason's, like, "I'm not sure if I will be." [laughs]
I don't know about in the pool, like this.
[kylen laughing nervously] I don't think I want to be in a pool.
I kinda got grossed-out with the home water birth
a little bit because she was sitting and, like,
her placenta...
[jason] seeing the placenta, it's just gross.
When she's giving birth, I'm gonna watch as long as I can.
-And... -[laughing] I think he's gonna panic.
Probably, once it starts coming out more, I'm gonna be, like, "holy [bleep]!
That's not supposed to happen." and then I'm gonna get grossed out a little bit.
He can barely watch me get four tubes of blood.
I think he's gonna panic.
How does the baby breathe underwater?
-Babies can breathe underwater. -Through the umbilical cord.
-Until the umbilical chord is cut. -[scott] oh.
Yeah, that's what I thought too, scott.
She didn't know that until I told her earlier.
Oh.
What do you do with the pool after? You dump it outside? Like...
You dump it in the sink or something?
A whole pool of blood and placenta juice?
You're gonna walk all that out to outside?
You're gonna take a bowl and put it in the sink?
You might as well just give birth outside
-in a pool. -Okay.
Let's do it.
-No. -That's kinda gross.
[jason] 19 hours? Screw that.
[scott] oh, man.
[heidi] it could be.
Was your mom in labor for a long time?
[kylen] no, she had it induced.
And then went into a c-section.
After watching that video,
I think I'm more interested in going to a hospital and doing it.
Where we'll be if anything happens rather than, like, 30 minutes away...
From the hospital.
Jason tells me not to worry.
But on my side,
a lot of my family members had complications and painful births.
Your side has good births.
We have long births, and they're, like,
within an hour or four hours.
But it's not always gonna be that way.
Well, I know. I know that.
-[scott] it's also not just jason's decision. -Right.
[kylen] yeah.
Both of you guys have to make an educated decision
before you make your final decision.
[scott] jason's stubborn.
When you're 18, you've got life all figured out.
Any advice to him is wrong advice, unless it's his own advice.
At this point, you can only make suggestions.
You can't tell him what to do.
[scott] do your research, that's all.
I'll support you either way you go.
Just do your research and...
-[scott] yeah? -[laughing] you are so close-minded!
[scott] all right.
[kylen] I don't wanna do a home birth.
If anything goes wrong, there's, like, a doctor-doctor.
Yeah, but what can go wrong?
And I don't think you have much to worry about.
I think I'd just be more comfortable
at the hospital.
Being at home is just better than a hospital.
Just because
I won't be left out.
[kylen] that's how you feel.
I wish we could come to a decision together about it.
But, if he doesn't get his way,
he gets pissed off.
No, I do get my way.
It pisses me off a lot.
[woman] this season on "unexpected"...
My baby's having a baby.
Ha! I beat you!
My dad's petty. My mom is emotionally crazy.
To put that in a pot and [mimics explosion].
Jason: Oh, your parents are here.
Jason: I'm just, like, an independent person.
Stayin' away from your family is not being independent --
that's being a jackass.
[woman] she's definitely a baby girl.
Baby girl.
-Tyra-- -is not pregnant.
Are you excited to be a big sister?
-[women] you're not excited? -Mm-mnh.
God, the sassiness out of all three of them.
[girls giggle]
I would like to get back together with you.
Girl, you look so stupid right now.
She makes my life miserable on this on this [bleep]...
Bitch!
Do you think mason would be able to sleep in my room?
Eme, we went over this.
We're gonna have him downstairs.
She's not gonna win this one.
Take that, mom.
Now, are you gonna rush getting married?
What if things don't work out?
Divorce, it's as stressful as moving or a death.
Who says I'm getting divorced?
Let's make it clear that I said mason couldn't sleep
in the bed with you,
and I caught him sleeping in the bed --
that's why he's not allowed in my house.
Everything's a [bleep] mess. Like...
If everything's a mess, you clean it the [bleep] up then. I don't...
What the [bleep] do you do all day?! [indistinct]
taking care of [bleep] kids! Wiping ass, breastfeeding,
giving bath, cooking three meals a [bleep] day.
What you do is not hard.
Oh, my god.
[indistinct] has a baby!
-No! -Then, no.
So, I'm kind of just like very terrified that something wrong
is going to happen.
[officer speaking]
it makes me wanna [bleep] cry that I can't see my kid
come into this world.
[screams in pain]
-ow, he's hurting... -[baby cries]
