00:00:01,467 --> 00:00:03,867
[Kody] Previously on
Sister Wives ...
2
00:00:03,867 --> 00:00:05,433
[woman] I love this property.
3
00:00:05,500 --> 00:00:07,000
It goes clear back.
4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,400
If Janelle were to move,
it would devastate me.
5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,734
[all laughing]
6
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,333
So Tony and I are pregnant
7
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,000
-with twins!
-With twins!
8
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Oh my gosh,
that is so much work.
9
00:00:19,266 --> 00:00:21,567
[Kody] Meri told me
that she's gonna go to
10
00:00:21,567 --> 00:00:23,133
meet with our church leaders
11
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,066
and basically request
a divorce.
12
00:00:26,066 --> 00:00:28,133
It's called a release
in our church.
13
00:00:28,767 --> 00:00:30,467
[Meri] I've been
living in limbo.
14
00:00:30,467 --> 00:00:32,400
I'm just not gonna
keep doing that.
15
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:36,533
It's been done,
and over for years.
16
00:00:39,266 --> 00:00:40,667
He's not talking to me.
17
00:00:40,667 --> 00:00:42,400
I think I'm gonna
have to lawyer up.
18
00:00:43,367 --> 00:00:46,100
I am going to move forward
and find happiness
19
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:49,266
and joy outside of my club.
20
00:00:49,266 --> 00:00:51,800
'Cause it was my club
and I got kicked out of it.
21
00:00:52,867 --> 00:00:55,000
[opening theme music playing]
22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,000
[instrumental music playing]
23
00:01:23,166 --> 00:01:24,467
[Christine] We're going to go
to a wedding,
24
00:01:24,467 --> 00:01:26,166
and they don't wanna have
anything to do
25
00:01:26,166 --> 00:01:27,133
with the fact
that we're public.
26
00:01:27,133 --> 00:01:29,467
So we're just gonna
have a good time there.
27
00:01:29,467 --> 00:01:30,533
The bride and groom,
28
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,867
last time I talked
to the bride,
29
00:01:32,867 --> 00:01:34,767
they'd been told that Kody
wasn't gonna go.
30
00:01:34,767 --> 00:01:35,600
Same thing with Robyn.
31
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,667
I don't know
if she's even gonna go.
32
00:01:37,667 --> 00:01:41,467
I think the goal
is to just be friendly,
33
00:01:41,467 --> 00:01:43,700
not friends, but friendly.
34
00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:45,467
I'm a little nervous.
35
00:01:45,467 --> 00:01:46,467
I am.
36
00:01:46,467 --> 00:01:47,166
I'm a little nervous
37
00:01:47,166 --> 00:01:49,200
just to have us
all together.
38
00:01:52,900 --> 00:01:55,934
[Kody] I spoke with the bride
and groom at one point
39
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,133
and said,
40
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,100
I think maybe
I better not come.
41
00:02:04,467 --> 00:02:06,333
The reason I suggested
I shouldn't go
42
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,767
is just all the hate
that I'm getting
43
00:02:08,767 --> 00:02:10,834
from family members.
44
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:17,233
And mostly just
all the [bleep] talk
45
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:18,400
from Christine and Janelle.
46
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,934
We're all culpable in this.
47
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,000
I'm out at Cayote Pass
and re-measuring things.
48
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,867
I'm just trying to figure out
what's the best configuration.
49
00:02:27,867 --> 00:02:28,867
I don't know the answer.
50
00:02:28,867 --> 00:02:31,734
I don't think
Janelle and Meri
51
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,266
are gonna end up there.
52
00:02:33,266 --> 00:02:35,233
And to be honest with you,
53
00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:37,400
it's a source of
a lot of heartbreak for me.
54
00:02:41,266 --> 00:02:43,100
[Robyn] The person
who's getting married
55
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:46,567
specifically asked
Kody and I to come.
56
00:02:46,567 --> 00:02:47,967
It's a little tense.
57
00:02:47,967 --> 00:02:51,500
I am a bit concerned about
58
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,033
Sol and Ari getting
sort of caught up in that.
59
00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:56,433
I don't want them to get hurt.
60
00:02:58,367 --> 00:03:00,333
[Kody] I don't wanna be there
61
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,767
with people looking at me
but not talking to me.
62
00:03:03,767 --> 00:03:06,333
I'm still terribly hurt
63
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,433
by everything
that has happened.
64
00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:10,767
And so I'm...
I'm not in a place
65
00:03:10,767 --> 00:03:12,867
where I'm like, "Oh, I'm just
forgiving you guys,
66
00:03:12,867 --> 00:03:14,166
so it's all good now."
67
00:03:14,166 --> 00:03:16,000
I'm just not there yet.
68
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,800
[Christine] The last wedding
we went to... gosh!
69
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,467
It would have been
Aspyn's and Mitch's.
70
00:03:23,467 --> 00:03:24,667
It was the last wedding.
71
00:03:24,667 --> 00:03:26,634
What a difference, right?
72
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:30,266
Aspyn and Mitch
got married over
73
00:03:30,266 --> 00:03:32,033
four years ago.
74
00:03:32,100 --> 00:03:33,000
[chuckles softly]
75
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,033
And gosh, a lot's happened
in four years.
76
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:38,767
Yeah, Aspyn
and Mitch's wedding,
77
00:03:38,767 --> 00:03:42,367
we were like,
we're a team still.
78
00:03:42,367 --> 00:03:43,467
[all cheering]
79
00:03:43,467 --> 00:03:44,967
[Aspyn] I love you
and I'm so excited
80
00:03:44,967 --> 00:03:46,800
to have you by my side
for rest of my life.
81
00:03:47,467 --> 00:03:49,033
[crowd cheering]
82
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,467
Oh my gosh,
the whole day was great.
83
00:03:55,467 --> 00:03:57,533
Kody and I were great.
84
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,233
At that point, I never thought
that I'd be leaving.
85
00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:02,333
[Aspyn] He's officially
part of the family.
86
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,066
-[man] I know.
Congratulations!
-Thank you!
87
00:04:05,066 --> 00:04:08,333
It's just so painful to think
of where we were at back then,
88
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,367
at least where I thought
we were at, I don't know.
89
00:04:10,367 --> 00:04:12,767
I don't even know anymore
what's real anymore.
90
00:04:12,767 --> 00:04:16,133
Aspyn got married
a month and a half,
91
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,533
six weeks before we moved
to Flagstaff.
92
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,600
And that was really
our last hurrah.
93
00:04:24,867 --> 00:04:27,333
If I really am honest
about how everything was
94
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,367
at Aspyn's wedding,
it was wonderful.
95
00:04:29,367 --> 00:04:30,934
Even for Christine and I.
96
00:04:31,567 --> 00:04:33,233
[instrumental music playing]
97
00:04:40,300 --> 00:04:42,000
[crowd cheering]
98
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,734
[Christine] We're not
the same family
99
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,834
that went to Aspyn
and Mitch's wedding.
100
00:04:48,900 --> 00:04:50,367
Or Mykelti's wedding
or Maddie's wedding.
101
00:04:50,367 --> 00:04:51,967
We're not the same.
102
00:04:51,967 --> 00:04:55,500
This is a very
different... family.
103
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:04,033
Sadly enough,
Mykelti and Tony
and Avalon can't come.
104
00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:05,867
The doctor put her
on extreme bed rest
105
00:05:05,867 --> 00:05:07,266
'cause she's pregnant
with twins
106
00:05:07,266 --> 00:05:08,867
and she's due
in a couple of weeks.
107
00:05:08,867 --> 00:05:11,634
So the doctor's like,
"Uh, no, you're not going."
108
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,300
Which is crazy
109
00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:16,000
because she's like
such a good mediator.
110
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,634
We're all adults,
and we've got this.
111
00:05:20,367 --> 00:05:22,000
I think we'll be okay.
112
00:05:24,767 --> 00:05:26,800
[instrumental music playing]
113
00:05:33,066 --> 00:05:34,200
[plane whirring]
114
00:05:36,166 --> 00:05:39,000
[Janelle] I am nervous about
the initial interaction,
115
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:39,934
and then after that,
I don't care.
116
00:05:39,934 --> 00:05:42,266
'Cause I can ignore
everybody after that.
117
00:05:42,266 --> 00:05:43,266
Yeah, between
me and Christine,
118
00:05:43,266 --> 00:05:44,100
it's just hostile.
119
00:05:49,266 --> 00:05:52,367
So you can hear
the... all the hubbub.
120
00:05:52,367 --> 00:05:53,133
I don't know why I have--
121
00:05:53,133 --> 00:05:55,300
I'm nervous.
I have butterflies.
122
00:05:56,166 --> 00:05:57,967
Yeah. I mean, my kids
are upset with their dad,
123
00:05:57,967 --> 00:05:59,100
but they're not gonna
make a scene
124
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:00,066
or do something stupid.
125
00:06:00,066 --> 00:06:02,000
This is just gonna be
ignore each other
126
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,600
and pretend like
you don't exist
basically, I think.
127
00:06:05,367 --> 00:06:08,533
The kids don't need
to be involved
128
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,300
in the issues
with their parents.
129
00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:14,600
[exhales] I wish that
things weren't like this.
130
00:06:17,166 --> 00:06:20,900
The last time all four
of the adults were together,
131
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,333
Ysabel's graduation party--
132
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,467
I mean, that's the last time
a lot of us were together.
133
00:06:26,467 --> 00:06:27,867
Was Ysabel's graduation party.
134
00:06:27,867 --> 00:06:30,734
That was like over a year
and a half ago.
135
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,634
This is the deal,
we say a lot of things
136
00:06:32,700 --> 00:06:34,767
behind each other's backs.
137
00:06:34,767 --> 00:06:35,834
We just do.
138
00:06:35,834 --> 00:06:39,066
And it's pretty terrible
to hear what everybody says
139
00:06:39,066 --> 00:06:40,433
about everybody
behind their backs.
140
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:42,266
I can't stand
141
00:06:42,266 --> 00:06:44,700
knowing what
everybody thinks about me.
142
00:06:45,367 --> 00:06:47,300
I would hope that
we can all behave.
143
00:06:54,500 --> 00:06:57,767
So I'm home
from the event, and...
144
00:06:57,767 --> 00:07:02,200
it was a little bit
bittersweet because... um...
145
00:07:05,266 --> 00:07:06,934
We didn't really
talk to each other,
146
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,834
Kody, Robyn.
147
00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:10,567
I nodded at Meri.
148
00:07:10,567 --> 00:07:13,467
Christine and I sat together
with the kids.
149
00:07:13,467 --> 00:07:18,567
Um, Kody and Robyn...
sat elsewhere.
150
00:07:18,567 --> 00:07:21,634
Um, you know, I waved at Meri,
talked to Meri.
151
00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:25,467
Um, I didn't really talk,
but I saw her.
152
00:07:25,467 --> 00:07:27,233
It's just so weird.
153
00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:29,133
Being at the wedding
was a little bit awkward
154
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,634
just because there are
some people in the family
155
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:37,100
that don't really want
to interact with me.
156
00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:39,467
Um, I'm...
157
00:07:39,467 --> 00:07:42,767
kind of in the middle
of this breakup.
158
00:07:42,767 --> 00:07:46,767
You know, it's just kind of...
weird... [laughs]
159
00:07:46,767 --> 00:07:47,934
You know what I mean?
160
00:07:47,934 --> 00:07:51,600
But then at the same time,
there's definitely people who
161
00:07:52,867 --> 00:07:55,867
are okay with me
being in their presence.
162
00:07:55,867 --> 00:07:58,667
And those are the people
that I hang out with.
163
00:07:58,667 --> 00:07:59,634
You know what I mean?
164
00:08:00,967 --> 00:08:04,767
Um, Kody did kind of
at least say "Hi" to me
165
00:08:04,767 --> 00:08:07,734
a couple of times in passing,
and it's just so weird.
166
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,233
I'm not quite sure...
167
00:08:10,567 --> 00:08:12,266
Look, I'm happy.
168
00:08:12,266 --> 00:08:14,667
It's obviously over.
169
00:08:14,667 --> 00:08:19,533
Um, which is so weird
after 30 years or whatever.
170
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,467
And we both have said
mean things about each other.
171
00:08:22,467 --> 00:08:25,066
But-- Or whatever
172
00:08:25,066 --> 00:08:27,800
trying to prove
justify our case.
173
00:08:29,266 --> 00:08:32,900
But... justify the case
for why we feel the way we do.
174
00:08:33,767 --> 00:08:36,467
Robyn and I were put over,
kind of in a corner,
175
00:08:36,467 --> 00:08:38,967
probably for our safety.
[laughs]
176
00:08:38,967 --> 00:08:41,500
You know, we were kept,
it was just in the back.
177
00:08:42,266 --> 00:08:43,767
And Robyn's said,
this is just...
178
00:08:43,767 --> 00:08:45,567
This is just not right
179
00:08:45,567 --> 00:08:46,967
that this family
isn't together,
180
00:08:46,967 --> 00:08:48,634
that we're not one family.
181
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:51,467
Some of the family came up
and gave me a hug,
182
00:08:51,467 --> 00:08:53,734
and I just embraced them back.
183
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,233
And um,
184
00:08:56,300 --> 00:08:58,233
I got an "I love you"
from Gabe.
185
00:08:58,900 --> 00:09:01,433
And I told him
I loved him back.
186
00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:02,767
I saw Janelle
187
00:09:02,767 --> 00:09:04,500
and I didn't
want to talk to her.
188
00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:07,000
It was hard. It was hard.
189
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,467
I was...
190
00:09:10,367 --> 00:09:13,533
Whether I'm right or wrong,
it just still feels just deep,
191
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,000
deep wounds
of betrayal for me.
192
00:09:16,767 --> 00:09:19,834
There were so many
family members
193
00:09:19,900 --> 00:09:21,100
that it was just like,
194
00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:25,233
"Hi, I love you
and let's get away
from each other."
195
00:09:26,867 --> 00:09:30,400
I just inserted myself as best
as I could into the fun.
196
00:09:31,166 --> 00:09:35,467
It... was awkward enough.
197
00:09:35,467 --> 00:09:36,567
It's just weird,
198
00:09:36,567 --> 00:09:37,867
it was so weird
to be at this event
199
00:09:37,867 --> 00:09:41,066
and to act like we didn't even
200
00:09:41,066 --> 00:09:44,333
know each other
or were acquaintances.
201
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,333
I saw Christine there as well,
but I didn't talk to her.
202
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,667
I did feel like some people
were trying to look
203
00:09:49,667 --> 00:09:51,867
like they were having
more fun than me. [laughs]
204
00:09:51,867 --> 00:09:56,667
I mean, this is how childish
this whole divorce has been.
205
00:09:56,667 --> 00:09:59,266
Such a teenage drama.
206
00:09:59,266 --> 00:10:02,066
I don't like you
any more than you like me.
207
00:10:02,066 --> 00:10:04,767
You know it's civil war.
208
00:10:04,767 --> 00:10:06,233
Total civil war.
209
00:10:08,667 --> 00:10:10,867
[Robyn] I felt like
there could have been
210
00:10:10,867 --> 00:10:13,233
more positive react--
211
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:16,100
interactions there
that weren't there.
212
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:18,233
It's over. It's bittersweet.
213
00:10:18,300 --> 00:10:20,233
It kind of hurts,
kind of bugs me.
214
00:10:20,967 --> 00:10:22,600
But I wouldn't...
215
00:10:25,767 --> 00:10:27,533
I wouldn't change
the trajectory
216
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,467
of where I'm going I guess.
217
00:10:29,467 --> 00:10:31,000
It's just...
218
00:10:32,300 --> 00:10:35,967
It's gonna take me
a couple of days,
I think, to process it.
219
00:10:35,967 --> 00:10:38,700
And I'm glad that these events
won't be all the time.
220
00:10:41,767 --> 00:10:43,166
[Kody] Overall,
the whole wedding
221
00:10:43,166 --> 00:10:44,967
was just sad for me.
222
00:10:44,967 --> 00:10:47,467
We used to go places
as a family,
223
00:10:47,467 --> 00:10:50,467
and now it's like
those who were my partners
224
00:10:50,467 --> 00:10:52,734
are now almost like enemies.
225
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,100
It's awkward.
226
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,333
[Christine] I don't know
what the solution is.
227
00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:59,767
Separations are harder
than I thought.
228
00:10:59,767 --> 00:11:01,900
Divorces are harder
than I thought.
229
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,767
[Kody] When Christine moved
my stuff out of the house
230
00:11:08,767 --> 00:11:11,000
and she said, I don't want you
to stay here anymore,
231
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,000
It felt like a betrayal,
but I wasn't sure
232
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,834
that she was being serious.
233
00:11:14,900 --> 00:11:19,266
And I'm looking back now
and feeling how stupid
that was of me.
234
00:11:19,266 --> 00:11:20,467
For Christine and I,
235
00:11:20,467 --> 00:11:23,166
I think that if we would have
just broken up as friends,
236
00:11:23,166 --> 00:11:25,867
it would have been better
for the whole family.
237
00:11:25,867 --> 00:11:29,734
Like, make it so we can
get back together another time
238
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,433
instead of
polarizing everybody.
239
00:11:35,567 --> 00:11:37,567
I'm dealing with
some of my own
240
00:11:37,567 --> 00:11:40,000
just situational depression.
241
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,800
[all exclaiming]
242
00:11:43,300 --> 00:11:45,200
And I miss family members.
243
00:11:49,367 --> 00:11:52,000
[amusing instrumental
music playing]
244
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,900
[birds chirping]
245
00:12:03,300 --> 00:12:06,033
Meri and I have officially
broken up, I think.
246
00:12:11,266 --> 00:12:13,567
If I were single
and Meri was single,
247
00:12:13,567 --> 00:12:14,767
would I date her?
248
00:12:14,767 --> 00:12:16,634
No, I wouldn't.
249
00:12:16,700 --> 00:12:19,333
She is upset that I've
dragged this out so long.
250
00:12:19,967 --> 00:12:21,133
I don't blame her.
251
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,166
I'm looking
in this triple breakup
252
00:12:26,166 --> 00:12:30,133
like Christine's, then Janelle
and now Meri,
253
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,133
I don't want Meri
to be in this place
254
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,467
where she's taken this toll,
th-this...this direction
255
00:12:35,467 --> 00:12:38,734
that both Christine
and Janelle have taken.
256
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,767
"Oh yeah, I need
one more enemy right now."
257
00:12:41,767 --> 00:12:43,467
So I'm trying to be
in this place with Meri,
258
00:12:43,467 --> 00:12:45,567
where it's like,
"Hey, can we just
259
00:12:45,567 --> 00:12:47,433
be friends and move on?"
260
00:12:56,166 --> 00:12:59,333
Janelle and I don't really
communicate very much.
261
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:00,400
To be really honest with you
262
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,934
I don't understand
why we can't reconcile.
263
00:13:04,300 --> 00:13:06,233
[Janelle] When we
moved to Flagstaff,
264
00:13:06,300 --> 00:13:08,767
Kody found it a lot easier
to be away.
265
00:13:08,767 --> 00:13:10,433
Couple of times
I had to remind him
266
00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:11,967
that he needed
to come to my house,
267
00:13:11,967 --> 00:13:13,433
like he in the very beginning,
268
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:14,667
he's like,
"Well, I'm really tired."
269
00:13:14,667 --> 00:13:16,100
I'm like, "Well, you can rest
at my house
270
00:13:16,100 --> 00:13:18,133
just as much as you can
rest at Robyn's house,"
271
00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:21,033
it just started
to become more separate
272
00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:23,333
and more reasons
to just be separate.
273
00:13:25,166 --> 00:13:27,133
[instrumental music playing]
274
00:13:32,367 --> 00:13:33,266
[Kody] They never do.
275
00:13:33,266 --> 00:13:35,634
[boy] Well, here's three.
Here's three.
276
00:13:35,700 --> 00:13:37,200
[Kody] Oh so
that's not stairs.
277
00:13:38,166 --> 00:13:40,934
-That's not-- Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.
-[boy] Uh-oh.
278
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,734
[Robyn] This is your apples.
279
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,166
Your caramelized apples.
280
00:13:44,166 --> 00:13:48,166
[Kody] No, no, no.
We can do it upside down
the other way, don't we?
281
00:13:48,166 --> 00:13:51,567
[Robyn] There are
more relationships
that are struggling now.
282
00:13:51,567 --> 00:13:54,166
I've tried several times
to reach out to family members
283
00:13:54,166 --> 00:13:56,367
to want to talk and...
284
00:13:56,367 --> 00:13:58,100
and, you know, to the kids
and stuff like that.
285
00:13:58,100 --> 00:13:59,767
They're just
not ready, I guess
286
00:13:59,767 --> 00:14:01,867
'cause I just don't hear back.
287
00:14:01,867 --> 00:14:04,166
[Kody] Can I...can I
go from the middle,
288
00:14:04,166 --> 00:14:05,066
or can I use--
289
00:14:05,066 --> 00:14:06,967
You can go from the middle
and the sides,
290
00:14:06,967 --> 00:14:08,600
but not from the top.
291
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,967
-All right, so you go first
'cause you're the youngest.
-So we're stacking over...
292
00:14:10,967 --> 00:14:13,734
[Kody] When I talk to Janelle
about our relationship,
293
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,767
she's like I'm just enjoying
my time away from you.
294
00:14:17,767 --> 00:14:20,266
Oh mom, I didn't even
leave you a chance, did I?
295
00:14:20,266 --> 00:14:23,667
[Robyn] I'm so mad at us
for doing what we did
to our family.
296
00:14:23,667 --> 00:14:26,734
And you know that we--
That we collectively
297
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,900
messed with something
that was working.
298
00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:31,767
[Robyn laughing] Ah!
299
00:14:31,767 --> 00:14:34,634
We didn't even
get anywhere with that.
300
00:14:34,700 --> 00:14:37,266
-That game's lame.
All right.
-We? What do you mean we?
301
00:14:37,266 --> 00:14:40,333
Well, we, as a family,
as a group.
302
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,367
The rest-- Oh all of you
got to pick one,
303
00:14:42,367 --> 00:14:44,400
-and that was it.
-[indistinct conversation]
304
00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:47,266
My day to day is
I've got this family
305
00:14:47,266 --> 00:14:49,867
in my house
with my wife, Robyn,
306
00:14:49,867 --> 00:14:51,367
and we have a day to day--
307
00:14:51,367 --> 00:14:53,767
We have an experience.
Every summer we're playing,
you know,
308
00:14:53,767 --> 00:14:55,767
the girls are doing
music all summer long.
309
00:14:55,767 --> 00:14:58,567
We do stuff
like this game right here.
310
00:14:58,567 --> 00:15:01,266
Uh, only It's usually
with guitars and music.
311
00:15:01,266 --> 00:15:03,100
Yeah, that was...
that was one and done.
312
00:15:03,100 --> 00:15:05,000
That's what, how that went.
313
00:15:05,667 --> 00:15:07,834
[indistinct conversation]
314
00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:11,233
[Kody] We have this
nice family experience
315
00:15:11,300 --> 00:15:12,867
almost perpetually.
316
00:15:12,867 --> 00:15:15,433
And if you
get through this one,
317
00:15:15,500 --> 00:15:17,500
I won't have
any more caramel apples.
318
00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:19,433
Why?
319
00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:20,667
[Kody] 'Cause I know--
320
00:15:20,667 --> 00:15:23,734
I'm betting I don't think
she can get through this one.
321
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,667
-You see?
-Ohh! Wait a second!
322
00:15:26,667 --> 00:15:29,033
That was stuff.
323
00:15:29,100 --> 00:15:30,333
-[Kody] Well,
-[boy] Be careful.
324
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:31,333
-Why did you bet that?
-Ooh...
325
00:15:31,333 --> 00:15:33,734
'Cause I didn't think
she was gonna last.
326
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,000
[Robyn] Solomon and Ariella,
don't, really--
327
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,667
They are not really tracking
328
00:15:38,667 --> 00:15:41,266
what's happening
in the family.
329
00:15:41,266 --> 00:15:43,467
We had to go through COVID
and it sort of prepped them
330
00:15:43,467 --> 00:15:46,667
for this separation
that's happening.
331
00:15:46,667 --> 00:15:48,567
[indistinct conversation]
332
00:15:48,567 --> 00:15:51,233
I'm really struggling
with the idea of
333
00:15:51,967 --> 00:15:54,834
whether or not I remind them
334
00:15:54,900 --> 00:15:57,266
about their siblings
and talk about them
335
00:15:57,266 --> 00:16:00,100
and show them the pictures
and stuff like that.
336
00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:03,367
Because that's gonna
create the question
337
00:16:03,367 --> 00:16:05,033
of "Where are my siblings?
338
00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:06,500
Why aren't they seeing me?
339
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,100
Why didn't they send me
a birthday card
340
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:13,834
or something like that?
341
00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:15,767
Why aren't they here
for my party?
342
00:16:15,767 --> 00:16:18,834
Where are they
and why aren't they here?"
343
00:16:22,300 --> 00:16:23,767
Every once in a while
they ask,
344
00:16:23,767 --> 00:16:25,767
"Is our whole family coming?"
345
00:16:25,767 --> 00:16:28,767
And I'm just like,
"No, not the this time."
346
00:16:28,767 --> 00:16:32,400
[Janelle] With Robyn,
there was always
a very separateness.
347
00:16:33,166 --> 00:16:34,767
My children, like were scolded
348
00:16:34,767 --> 00:16:37,166
if they would
open up Robyn's fridge.
349
00:16:37,166 --> 00:16:39,133
[Meri] When Robyn
came in the family,
350
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,367
there was a lot of like
351
00:16:42,367 --> 00:16:44,066
tension and conflict.
352
00:16:44,066 --> 00:16:46,100
You know, just because,
like whenever somebody new
353
00:16:46,100 --> 00:16:48,467
comes in the family,
like it just is.
354
00:16:48,467 --> 00:16:50,767
It's what happens.
355
00:16:50,767 --> 00:16:53,066
[Robyn] Meri across the board
was very accepting
356
00:16:53,066 --> 00:16:54,567
of my kids and I.
357
00:16:54,567 --> 00:16:58,433
But the rest of the family
really struggled to accept
358
00:16:58,500 --> 00:16:59,867
my kids and I.
359
00:16:59,867 --> 00:17:02,834
All we wanted to do
was be a part of this family.
360
00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:04,166
My kids didn't like
going over there
361
00:17:04,166 --> 00:17:06,767
because they saw that Robyn
362
00:17:06,767 --> 00:17:10,367
and their dad were a couple
and he wasn't in our home.
363
00:17:10,367 --> 00:17:14,000
So they were frustrated
at different things.
364
00:17:15,867 --> 00:17:20,166
[Kody] Christine and I
were always romantic
at her house.
365
00:17:20,166 --> 00:17:22,233
And I think
we've forgotten that.
366
00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:24,867
My memory about
Robyn come in the family
367
00:17:24,867 --> 00:17:27,266
doesn't come with nearly
as much angst
368
00:17:27,266 --> 00:17:32,166
and frustration and struggles
that we had 30 years ago.
369
00:17:32,166 --> 00:17:33,767
My marriage with Meri
370
00:17:33,767 --> 00:17:35,266
and Janelle coming in
the family,
371
00:17:35,266 --> 00:17:36,767
Christine coming
in the family.
372
00:17:36,767 --> 00:17:40,100
The experience
of that coming together
373
00:17:40,100 --> 00:17:43,367
for years was just difficult.
374
00:17:43,367 --> 00:17:45,200
[kids giggling]
375
00:17:47,567 --> 00:17:49,133
[Kody laughing]
376
00:17:51,367 --> 00:17:54,100
I remember Ari Just making
a little statement one time,
377
00:17:54,100 --> 00:17:55,667
"I don't like Christine."
378
00:17:55,667 --> 00:17:57,333
And I kind of corrected her
379
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,367
to say, you don't
know her at this point
380
00:17:59,367 --> 00:18:01,066
well enough
to like her or not.
381
00:18:01,066 --> 00:18:04,433
"Well, she left Dad,
and I don't like her."
382
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:05,967
Well that showed some loyalty.
383
00:18:05,967 --> 00:18:07,367
And here's the dumb thing.
384
00:18:07,367 --> 00:18:11,066
As I understand it,
I tried to correct it.
385
00:18:11,066 --> 00:18:14,367
But she,
that same kind of loyalty
386
00:18:14,367 --> 00:18:17,867
is happening amongst others
in the family.
387
00:18:17,867 --> 00:18:21,000
Ari's the youngest,
of course, she should
act like a child.
388
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,000
[boy] When I say go,
I'm gonna just...
389
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,667
[Kody] One experience
I had was I was trying
to leave the house.
390
00:18:25,667 --> 00:18:27,367
I was headed to Janelle's.
391
00:18:27,367 --> 00:18:29,467
It's getting interesting!
392
00:18:29,467 --> 00:18:31,867
Ariella was melting down.
393
00:18:31,867 --> 00:18:34,467
She grabs my leg
and won't let me leave.
394
00:18:34,467 --> 00:18:37,033
And I'm like,
"Robyn, I need you
to drag her off of me."
395
00:18:37,100 --> 00:18:39,533
And she says
she's expressing herself.
396
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,166
You're gonna have to
take five minutes
397
00:18:41,166 --> 00:18:42,433
and let her do it.
398
00:18:43,100 --> 00:18:44,233
But I had to explain to her
399
00:18:44,233 --> 00:18:46,734
there's another wife
that needs me, another mommy.
400
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,033
I've got other kids
that I need to see me.
401
00:18:49,100 --> 00:18:51,266
And she's just dragging along
on my legs, screaming,
402
00:18:51,266 --> 00:18:53,667
"Don't leave me, Daddy,
Don't leave me."
403
00:18:53,667 --> 00:18:56,166
And I'm like,
"God, leave me, this is hard."
404
00:18:56,166 --> 00:18:58,166
My kids were always,
like, from the very beginning,
405
00:18:58,166 --> 00:19:00,667
they knew that their dad
was not gonna always be there.
406
00:19:00,667 --> 00:19:02,800
I always felt like...
407
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,867
that Kody and Robyn mismanaged
408
00:19:08,867 --> 00:19:10,467
the situation
with her children.
409
00:19:10,467 --> 00:19:11,567
He couldn't be away
410
00:19:11,567 --> 00:19:13,467
for more than
three or four days.
411
00:19:13,467 --> 00:19:15,667
Because Ari just gets
so sad or whatever.
412
00:19:15,667 --> 00:19:19,333
I'm like, I feel like
that was poor parenting.
413
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,133
Through all history
of the family,
414
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,033
the other kids did it.
415
00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:26,066
And they're fine.
They're well-adjusted adults.
416
00:19:26,066 --> 00:19:27,667
I think they're fine.
417
00:19:27,667 --> 00:19:28,467
She loves her dad.
418
00:19:28,467 --> 00:19:30,433
She wants to be
around her dad. Yes.
419
00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:34,100
But did it ever stop
Kody from going to
another mom's home?
420
00:19:34,100 --> 00:19:35,367
No, it didn't.
421
00:19:35,367 --> 00:19:36,634
I wouldn't have allowed it.
422
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,767
[all exclaims]
423
00:19:41,767 --> 00:19:44,367
-I got it out then it fell.
-I'm sorry.
I didn't believe in you.
424
00:19:44,367 --> 00:19:46,567
It wasn't you.
It was the stack.
425
00:19:46,567 --> 00:19:49,266
[Robyn] I'm going through
a lot of mourning.
426
00:19:49,266 --> 00:19:52,367
Loss and grieving
of the relationships.
427
00:19:52,367 --> 00:19:54,367
And dealing with some
of my own
428
00:19:54,367 --> 00:19:57,467
just situational depression
from it.
429
00:19:57,467 --> 00:20:01,400
It's just so sad,
and I miss family members.
430
00:20:02,266 --> 00:20:04,567
[Kody] What I'm thinking is
with time going on
431
00:20:04,567 --> 00:20:06,567
and just a phone call
once in a while,
432
00:20:06,567 --> 00:20:09,066
that these relationships
will come back,
433
00:20:09,066 --> 00:20:10,634
and then I'll be like,
434
00:20:10,700 --> 00:20:13,233
in full fellowship
with my children again.
435
00:20:16,667 --> 00:20:18,567
[Robyn] It's not normal to see
Kody smiling lately
436
00:20:18,567 --> 00:20:21,634
'cause of everything
that's been going on
in the family and stuff.
437
00:20:21,700 --> 00:20:23,233
He's really struggling.
438
00:20:27,367 --> 00:20:29,834
[Robyn] It's just
completely devastating
439
00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:31,667
what has happened
to us,
440
00:20:31,667 --> 00:20:35,667
devastating,
just over the top.
441
00:20:35,667 --> 00:20:39,000
[indistinct conversation]
442
00:20:42,300 --> 00:20:44,567
You are set up
for an induction.
443
00:20:44,567 --> 00:20:46,400
I'm gonna turn
it to a C section.
444
00:20:47,266 --> 00:20:49,133
Are you okay
with that?
445
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,567
Losing the chance
to be able
to hold my child...
446
00:20:52,567 --> 00:20:54,567
first thing right
on my chest,
447
00:20:54,567 --> 00:20:57,867
in my arms,
is something
that I'm having...
448
00:20:57,867 --> 00:20:59,734
I'm just having
a hard time with.
449
00:21:01,567 --> 00:21:02,800
[upbeat music playing]
450
00:21:08,767 --> 00:21:10,367
-Ready for this?
-Yeah. Ready.
451
00:21:10,367 --> 00:21:11,900
Come in. [chuckles]
452
00:21:14,066 --> 00:21:14,734
Hey, Dr. Bean.
453
00:21:14,734 --> 00:21:16,367
-How are you?
-Going good.
454
00:21:16,367 --> 00:21:17,266
Are you excited?
455
00:21:17,266 --> 00:21:19,333
Yes. Getting ready.
456
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:20,767
[Christine]
Dr. Bean was
my doctor
457
00:21:20,767 --> 00:21:22,533
when I had Truely.
458
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:23,667
And we've
been friends
ever since.
459
00:21:23,667 --> 00:21:27,166
Like, he was
the second person
I told
460
00:21:27,166 --> 00:21:28,433
we were moving
to Vegas
461
00:21:28,500 --> 00:21:29,934
back when
we were moving,
forever ago.
462
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,166
Anyway,
I love the guy.
463
00:21:32,166 --> 00:21:33,467
I'm also
getting excited.
464
00:21:33,467 --> 00:21:34,567
Well, of course,
you are.
465
00:21:34,567 --> 00:21:36,266
[Christine chuckles]
Oh, God. Let me move
down here.
466
00:21:36,266 --> 00:21:37,667
You got
an easy part.
467
00:21:37,667 --> 00:21:39,934
Where you just get
to enjoy the view.
468
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,000
[Christine]
Yes, so true.
469
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,066
All right. I think
you are pregnant
470
00:21:44,066 --> 00:21:45,567
Ugh, what gave
it away?
471
00:21:45,567 --> 00:21:46,767
I was kind of hoping
to hide it.
472
00:21:46,767 --> 00:21:47,867
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
473
00:21:47,867 --> 00:21:49,133
You can't hide this.
474
00:21:50,066 --> 00:21:51,233
Do you know
how many?
475
00:21:51,300 --> 00:21:52,634
[Christine] 53, 53.
476
00:21:52,700 --> 00:21:54,000
Pretty close. 52.
477
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,166
[Christine]
You're measuring
52 weeks.
478
00:21:55,166 --> 00:21:56,867
You're only
how many weeks?
479
00:21:56,867 --> 00:21:57,967
Thirty-seven.
480
00:21:57,967 --> 00:22:01,467
52 weeks is just
the size of her.
481
00:22:01,467 --> 00:22:02,634
What we're really
looking for
482
00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:04,033
and what
the real concern is,
483
00:22:04,100 --> 00:22:06,133
is how big are
the babies getting
484
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,066
for them
to be born naturally,
485
00:22:08,066 --> 00:22:09,867
'cause she wants
a natural birth.
486
00:22:09,867 --> 00:22:11,367
All right. We're going
to take a--
Tell you what...
487
00:22:11,367 --> 00:22:12,367
I'm gonna look
at the babies first.
488
00:22:12,367 --> 00:22:14,867
Just make sure
of their position.
489
00:22:14,867 --> 00:22:16,800
Yep, there's that.
490
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,567
[Christine gasps]
Oh, we can see 'em.
491
00:22:19,567 --> 00:22:20,567
Can we
see them?
492
00:22:20,567 --> 00:22:21,867
Yeah,
that's the cranium.
493
00:22:21,867 --> 00:22:23,367
Yep. [indistinct conversation]
494
00:22:23,367 --> 00:22:25,433
[Christine]
Oh, my gosh.
495
00:22:25,500 --> 00:22:26,467
So they're both
feet down.
496
00:22:26,467 --> 00:22:27,967
-Breech?
-Yep. Okay.
497
00:22:27,967 --> 00:22:29,133
[Christine]
Oh, they're feet down.
498
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,100
That's what
breach means.
499
00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:30,967
[Dr. Bean]
Yep.
500
00:22:30,967 --> 00:22:33,467
Unfortunately,
I can't turn this baby.
501
00:22:33,467 --> 00:22:34,867
So, we just
gotta see what happens.
502
00:22:34,867 --> 00:22:35,867
-Okay?
-Okay.
503
00:22:35,867 --> 00:22:39,433
So, next week
you are set up
for an induction
504
00:22:39,500 --> 00:22:41,400
I'm gonna turn it
to a C section.
505
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,567
But, if this
baby's head goes down...
506
00:22:45,567 --> 00:22:46,734
[Mykelti]
In the next six days...
507
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,066
...in the next
six days...
508
00:22:48,066 --> 00:22:49,367
[Christine]
Is there anything
that she can do
509
00:22:49,367 --> 00:22:51,233
to help the baby's head
go down?
510
00:22:51,300 --> 00:22:52,834
You know,
when you're...
511
00:22:52,900 --> 00:22:54,266
When you
just have a singleton,
512
00:22:54,266 --> 00:22:55,967
there are
some things
that can be done
513
00:22:55,967 --> 00:22:57,967
and there's some things
we can do.
514
00:22:57,967 --> 00:23:00,433
With twins.
It's just...
they're just not.
515
00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:01,467
There's just not
enough room
and stuff.
516
00:23:01,467 --> 00:23:02,567
There's just not
enough room.
517
00:23:02,567 --> 00:23:04,100
I know Mykelti's
trying very hard
518
00:23:04,100 --> 00:23:05,867
to have
these vaginally,
519
00:23:05,867 --> 00:23:07,867
and I I'm all
for that
520
00:23:07,867 --> 00:23:09,266
because I've had
a C-section
521
00:23:09,266 --> 00:23:13,000
and the recovery,
is very hard, from it.
522
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,133
The vaginal birth
is better.
523
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,166
At home
or without
the painkillers,
524
00:23:17,166 --> 00:23:19,567
I know
it sounds hard,
525
00:23:19,567 --> 00:23:22,266
but the recovery
is ten times easier.
526
00:23:22,266 --> 00:23:23,300
When you
have C-Section,
527
00:23:23,300 --> 00:23:25,767
I mean, they've
basically cut open
your abdomen,
528
00:23:25,767 --> 00:23:27,166
so they've cut
all those muscles.
529
00:23:27,166 --> 00:23:29,166
So think
about any time
you turn in bed
530
00:23:29,166 --> 00:23:30,834
or you try
to sit up,
531
00:23:30,900 --> 00:23:32,367
or any kind
of movement,
532
00:23:32,367 --> 00:23:35,000
it's really miserable.
533
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,367
So, are you okay
with that?
534
00:23:37,367 --> 00:23:39,000
-I'll get over it.
--I'm sorry.
535
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,767
Better a scar
than a scarred kid.
536
00:23:40,767 --> 00:23:42,667
Yeah.
That's a good way
to embrace it.
537
00:23:42,667 --> 00:23:46,166
Losing the chance
to be able
to hold my child...
538
00:23:46,166 --> 00:23:48,266
first thing
right on my chest,
539
00:23:48,266 --> 00:23:51,667
in my arms,
is something
that I'm having...
540
00:23:51,667 --> 00:23:53,367
I'm just having
a hard time with.
541
00:23:53,367 --> 00:23:54,867
I don't know if it's
a cultural thing.
542
00:23:54,867 --> 00:23:57,133
I don't know if it's
a polygamous thing.
I don't really know.
543
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,166
But I was
always raised
544
00:23:58,166 --> 00:23:59,467
that natural
home births
545
00:23:59,467 --> 00:24:00,400
were the best way
to go.
546
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,567
I loved the recovery
of the home birth.
547
00:24:02,567 --> 00:24:03,433
It was wonderful.
548
00:24:03,433 --> 00:24:06,233
Also, an epidural,
though, kicks butt.
549
00:24:06,300 --> 00:24:08,266
So, you know,
it's a tough call.
550
00:24:08,266 --> 00:24:10,767
Mykelti likes
as natural as possible,
551
00:24:10,767 --> 00:24:12,667
and the girl is as tough
as it gets.
552
00:24:12,667 --> 00:24:14,634
We can't
change reality,
553
00:24:14,700 --> 00:24:17,767
but we can change
what our expectations are,
okay?
554
00:24:17,767 --> 00:24:19,567
I'll take
the safer option.
555
00:24:19,567 --> 00:24:20,467
[Dr. Bean] Okay.
Sounds good.
556
00:24:20,467 --> 00:24:21,433
It is what it is.
557
00:24:21,433 --> 00:24:23,934
And I'd rather
my kids be safe
and healthy,
558
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,533
and me be safe
and healthy,
559
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:30,066
versus the possibility
of something
wrong happening.
560
00:24:30,066 --> 00:24:32,033
I prefer home births
561
00:24:32,100 --> 00:24:33,266
to hospital births.
562
00:24:33,266 --> 00:24:35,467
Most births
are just natural.
563
00:24:35,467 --> 00:24:37,233
It's a very
natural experience.
564
00:24:37,300 --> 00:24:39,133
Birthing is
very natural.
565
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,166
[Christine] So, we can't be
in there
566
00:24:40,166 --> 00:24:41,533
if it's a C-section,
567
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:42,533
[Dr. Bean] No.
568
00:24:42,533 --> 00:24:43,567
[Christine]
So, we'll be like
in the...
569
00:24:43,567 --> 00:24:45,467
-waiting room,
right?
-[Dr. Bean] Yeah.
570
00:24:45,467 --> 00:24:48,567
Every extra person
that's in the OR.
571
00:24:48,567 --> 00:24:50,834
It's an...
it's an infection risk.
572
00:24:50,900 --> 00:24:54,233
And so that's why
they don't let...
573
00:24:54,300 --> 00:24:55,900
You, know,
you're favorite mother.
574
00:24:56,767 --> 00:24:59,133
-It's interesting.
-[Christine] Awkward,
575
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,567
What? Not that
it wasn't awkward
during your delivery
576
00:25:02,567 --> 00:25:04,767
when questions
were being asked about...
577
00:25:04,767 --> 00:25:06,166
[Christine] Oh, yeah,
that was funny.
578
00:25:06,166 --> 00:25:07,433
Yeah.
579
00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:09,266
When I was
in labor with Truely,
580
00:25:09,266 --> 00:25:10,467
I was sitting there
in the hospital
581
00:25:10,467 --> 00:25:12,233
and Kody and Dr. Bean
were talking
582
00:25:12,300 --> 00:25:14,934
about Meri's
infertility issues...
583
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,467
So, who would
you recommend
for a fertility doctor?
584
00:25:17,467 --> 00:25:18,500
What do you mean?
585
00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:21,266
Um, if we
wanted to do
in vitro fertilization.
586
00:25:21,266 --> 00:25:22,767
[Dr. Bean speaking]
587
00:25:22,767 --> 00:25:24,867
'Cause I've got
a wife who only
has one.
588
00:25:24,867 --> 00:25:27,667
Dr. Bean knew
we're a polygamist
family already.
589
00:25:27,667 --> 00:25:28,567
We've been
up front.
590
00:25:28,567 --> 00:25:29,867
We've been
open with him.
591
00:25:29,867 --> 00:25:31,934
He knew everything.
592
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,133
While I'm here,
like in labor,
it's kind of classy...
593
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:35,467
Yeah, that's kind
of weird.
594
00:25:35,467 --> 00:25:37,433
Talking about
the other wife's fertility.
595
00:25:37,500 --> 00:25:39,233
-[Dr. Bean] Yeah
-Meri and Christine--
596
00:25:39,300 --> 00:25:40,266
I was looking
at you like,
597
00:25:40,266 --> 00:25:41,200
she doesn't have
any problem.
598
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,467
Yeah, Meri
and Christine
have always had
599
00:25:42,467 --> 00:25:43,834
a really
close relationship...
600
00:25:43,900 --> 00:25:45,667
He just thought
it was really
funny, too.
601
00:25:45,667 --> 00:25:47,467
That here I am
in labor,
602
00:25:47,467 --> 00:25:51,333
talking about
Meri's infertility stuff
with, with...
603
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,867
but I mean,
whenever you're gonna
get an opportunity
604
00:25:53,867 --> 00:25:55,433
to talk to somebody,
you know.
605
00:25:55,500 --> 00:25:57,033
So, it was...
it was fine.
606
00:25:57,100 --> 00:25:57,967
It was great.
607
00:25:57,967 --> 00:25:59,533
Hopefully,
we'll see you
in six days.
608
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:00,967
-Hopefully, not sooner.
-I know.
609
00:26:00,967 --> 00:26:01,867
Six days.
610
00:26:01,867 --> 00:26:03,634
-For once I agree.
-Me too.
611
00:26:03,700 --> 00:26:04,533
-Okay, come.
-Please.
612
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:05,767
Thank you.
613
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,767
I'm hoping
that everything
goes right,
614
00:26:08,767 --> 00:26:09,734
everything's good.
615
00:26:09,734 --> 00:26:11,533
I don't need
to see Dr. Bean
and tell that.
616
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,100
Because that means
that everything's
going right,
617
00:26:13,100 --> 00:26:14,900
if I don't have
to see my doctor.
618
00:26:17,367 --> 00:26:18,433
The next time
you see me,
619
00:26:18,500 --> 00:26:19,867
I won't
be pregnant.
620
00:26:19,867 --> 00:26:20,934
Weird.
621
00:26:20,934 --> 00:26:23,166
[Christine]
Those doors
are so hard to see.
622
00:26:23,166 --> 00:26:26,166
'Cause you know
you're the child
is on the other side.
623
00:26:26,166 --> 00:26:30,500
And there's nothing
you can do
to help them.
624
00:26:31,967 --> 00:26:33,400
[soft music playing]
625
00:26:39,767 --> 00:26:41,433
Today is
the day before
626
00:26:41,500 --> 00:26:42,567
the twins are going
to be born,
627
00:26:42,567 --> 00:26:44,000
they could
be born tomorrow.
628
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,133
Isn't it so weird
you can schedule
629
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:47,367
a day for a birth?
630
00:26:47,367 --> 00:26:49,233
I'm excited
for these little babies
631
00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:51,033
to come,
really excited.
632
00:26:51,100 --> 00:26:53,066
This is
a really big deal to me,
633
00:26:53,066 --> 00:26:56,033
and I'm excited
to be there
and be Grandma.
634
00:26:56,100 --> 00:26:58,233
And, um...
635
00:26:58,300 --> 00:27:00,233
just support
them through this.
636
00:27:00,300 --> 00:27:01,767
How are you
feeling there?
637
00:27:01,767 --> 00:27:02,867
I'm good.
638
00:27:02,867 --> 00:27:04,266
I'm excited.
I'm ready.
639
00:27:04,266 --> 00:27:07,100
I'm hoping Christine
is cool and easy
about this, too.
640
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:08,467
I don't want
any drama.
641
00:27:08,467 --> 00:27:10,333
I don't want
any stress.
642
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,433
I mean, I care
about Christine.
643
00:27:12,500 --> 00:27:14,367
I want her
to be happy
644
00:27:14,367 --> 00:27:16,166
and, um,
645
00:27:16,166 --> 00:27:17,634
and I,
646
00:27:17,700 --> 00:27:19,934
I respect and honor
her position
647
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,133
as Mykelti's mother.
648
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:23,367
I'm ready
to be done.
649
00:27:23,367 --> 00:27:24,500
-Whoop whoop!
-Forever.
650
00:27:24,500 --> 00:27:25,834
This is the last time
we're gonna see
you pregnant.
651
00:27:25,900 --> 00:27:27,233
Yes. This is t
he last time
I will ever,
652
00:27:27,300 --> 00:27:29,333
hopefully,
knock on wood,
653
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:30,133
but this is
the last time
654
00:27:30,133 --> 00:27:31,667
I will ever
be pregnant again.
655
00:27:31,667 --> 00:27:33,433
I love the idea of,
in the future,
656
00:27:33,500 --> 00:27:34,934
maybe having
more kids,
657
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,567
but they will
not come out
of my body.
658
00:27:36,567 --> 00:27:38,266
Pregnancy is miserable.
659
00:27:38,266 --> 00:27:40,333
It is literally awful.
660
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:41,634
I've come
to terms with it.
661
00:27:41,700 --> 00:27:43,166
Like I'm gonna get
over the fact
662
00:27:43,166 --> 00:27:45,634
that I can't
have them vaginally,
663
00:27:45,700 --> 00:27:47,767
but I'm not too happy
about it.
664
00:27:47,767 --> 00:27:49,867
But you'll be able
to see it, too.
We were saying.
665
00:27:49,867 --> 00:27:51,667
They set the cloth here,
though, right?
666
00:27:51,667 --> 00:27:56,066
So, I'll have a like a top,
like a a curtain.
667
00:27:56,066 --> 00:27:58,266
I'll have
a curtain over,
in front of my face
668
00:27:58,266 --> 00:27:59,567
so I won't be able
to see them
669
00:27:59,567 --> 00:28:00,934
actually do
the procedure.
670
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,567
But Dr. Bean did say
671
00:28:02,567 --> 00:28:05,266
that he would put
a mirror down there.
672
00:28:05,266 --> 00:28:07,567
So if I wanted to,
I could.
673
00:28:07,567 --> 00:28:08,567
[Aspyn] Why?
674
00:28:08,567 --> 00:28:09,367
Why not?
675
00:28:09,367 --> 00:28:12,367
Sign me up
for that, too. So cool.
676
00:28:12,367 --> 00:28:14,767
I want to see it,
because if I can't feel it,
677
00:28:14,767 --> 00:28:16,867
I want to
at least know
what's going on.
678
00:28:16,867 --> 00:28:18,667
We have to, like
cut layers
by layers, too.
679
00:28:18,667 --> 00:28:20,133
'Cause they've got
to cut the muscle
680
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:21,767
and the...
like the skin,
681
00:28:21,767 --> 00:28:23,467
and then
they've got to cut
the uterine wall.
682
00:28:23,467 --> 00:28:26,333
And I'm just...
It's just all so cool.
683
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,266
Cool and gruesome.
684
00:28:28,266 --> 00:28:31,000
I wonder
how Avalon
is gonna react.
685
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,634
She's going
to have siblings, plural.
686
00:28:33,700 --> 00:28:35,767
It would be great,
and no one's
ever left out
687
00:28:35,767 --> 00:28:37,266
with three kids.
688
00:28:37,266 --> 00:28:38,133
No one's ever
left out.
689
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,100
There's always someone.
690
00:28:39,100 --> 00:28:39,967
Should be left
out a lot, they're twins,
691
00:28:39,967 --> 00:28:41,367
they're gonna
stick together.
692
00:28:41,367 --> 00:28:43,033
-[Avalon laughing]
-[Tony] Absolutely.
693
00:28:43,100 --> 00:28:46,867
I am really excited
about tomorrow.
694
00:28:46,867 --> 00:28:47,767
The next time
you see me,
695
00:28:47,767 --> 00:28:49,033
I won't be pregnant.
696
00:28:49,100 --> 00:28:50,367
Weird.
697
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,066
[Robyn]
Mykelti has her
C-section scheduled.
698
00:28:58,066 --> 00:28:59,767
I loaded up my car
699
00:28:59,767 --> 00:29:03,000
and I drove there
and on the way,
700
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:07,900
I picked up Maria,
Tony's mom, in St. George.
701
00:29:10,266 --> 00:29:11,867
Tony and Mykelti,
you know
702
00:29:11,867 --> 00:29:13,166
kind of
at the beginning
703
00:29:13,166 --> 00:29:15,834
of finding out that they
are pregnant, said,
704
00:29:15,900 --> 00:29:18,133
"We want you
at this birth."
705
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,533
First, Christine
is concerned.
706
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,066
I just made a decision
very early on
707
00:29:23,066 --> 00:29:25,567
that I was going
to put aside any of my hurt,
708
00:29:25,567 --> 00:29:27,634
my sadness or my feelings
of betrayal
709
00:29:27,700 --> 00:29:30,400
and just...
That's between
Christine and I.
710
00:29:34,367 --> 00:29:35,834
I am going to say
something here
711
00:29:35,900 --> 00:29:37,667
because Mykelti
is getting really
beat up for this.
712
00:29:37,667 --> 00:29:40,133
But, you know,
Mykelti has
713
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:41,367
a good relationship
with Robyn.
714
00:29:41,367 --> 00:29:44,367
Robyn came at
a very important time
for Mykelti.
715
00:29:44,367 --> 00:29:45,967
And it was
very valuable
716
00:29:45,967 --> 00:29:48,367
for Mykelti
as a teenage girl.
717
00:29:48,367 --> 00:29:49,867
And I don't think
any of the kids
718
00:29:49,867 --> 00:29:53,333
should be denied
719
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,100
or looked down on
for having a relationship
720
00:29:55,100 --> 00:29:56,066
with Kody
and Robyn.
721
00:30:00,667 --> 00:30:02,433
[Kody]
Mykelti and Robyn
had a really,
722
00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:04,433
really special
experience together.
723
00:30:04,500 --> 00:30:06,567
Um, and what
that did is
724
00:30:06,567 --> 00:30:07,867
is that special experience
725
00:30:07,867 --> 00:30:09,667
between Mykelti
and Robyn
726
00:30:09,667 --> 00:30:12,867
actually improved
the relationship
727
00:30:12,867 --> 00:30:15,634
that Christine
and I had with Mykelti.
728
00:30:15,700 --> 00:30:17,767
Hey, there.
729
00:30:17,767 --> 00:30:19,333
[chuckling]
730
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:20,934
[Mykelti]
When Robyn first
joined the family,
731
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,767
I was trying
to figure out who I was
732
00:30:22,767 --> 00:30:25,567
and she made me
feel special,
733
00:30:25,567 --> 00:30:27,400
and she made me
feel seen.
734
00:30:30,967 --> 00:30:32,233
Robyn was
there for me
735
00:30:32,300 --> 00:30:33,066
when I needed somebody.
736
00:30:33,066 --> 00:30:33,967
She was there for me
737
00:30:33,967 --> 00:30:34,934
when I needed somebody
738
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,066
to hear me, to love me.
739
00:30:37,066 --> 00:30:40,800
Robyn gave me a chance
to be heard.
740
00:30:45,166 --> 00:30:46,367
[Christine]
I don't think I remember
741
00:30:46,367 --> 00:30:47,066
when Mykelti told me
742
00:30:47,066 --> 00:30:48,166
that Robyn would
be there,
743
00:30:48,166 --> 00:30:50,100
I just always
knew Robyn would
be there.
744
00:30:50,100 --> 00:30:53,967
I don't know
what there will be
for us to do,
745
00:30:53,967 --> 00:30:56,400
except to wait
in the waiting room together.
746
00:30:58,667 --> 00:31:00,367
There's a lot of pain there.
747
00:31:00,367 --> 00:31:03,567
I can't predict
somebody else's
choices or actions,
748
00:31:03,567 --> 00:31:07,100
but for me,
my plan is to play nice.
749
00:31:12,567 --> 00:31:14,233
[Mykelti] I'm ready
to give birth.
750
00:31:14,300 --> 00:31:15,667
I'm feeling good.
I feel like
751
00:31:15,667 --> 00:31:18,166
I didn't sleep
at all last night.
752
00:31:18,166 --> 00:31:19,867
Anticipation of
the next day just...
753
00:31:19,867 --> 00:31:21,600
sleep's not
gonna happen.
754
00:31:23,567 --> 00:31:26,967
[Robyn] They came in,
they kind of prepped Mykelti,
talked to her,
755
00:31:26,967 --> 00:31:29,533
and then they put Tony
in this, like...
756
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:30,934
[chuckles]
757
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,266
It looked like
a beekeeper suit.
758
00:31:33,266 --> 00:31:35,233
It's from, like,
head to toe.
759
00:31:35,300 --> 00:31:36,266
Tony's nervous.
760
00:31:36,266 --> 00:31:37,667
He's really nervous.
761
00:31:37,667 --> 00:31:39,834
They put him
in a suit.
762
00:31:42,300 --> 00:31:44,233
[Robyn] You know,
we gave Mykelti
763
00:31:44,300 --> 00:31:46,867
our hugs and kisses and...
764
00:31:46,867 --> 00:31:48,900
told her we loved her,
and...
765
00:31:49,467 --> 00:31:51,133
and she was
wheeled away.
766
00:31:52,867 --> 00:31:54,000
It's hard.
767
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,166
It's really hard,
emotionally to have
your kids have
768
00:31:57,166 --> 00:31:58,867
any kind of
procedure like that.
769
00:31:58,867 --> 00:32:00,100
It was
really difficult.
770
00:32:03,967 --> 00:32:05,166
[Mykelti]
The entire pregnancy,
771
00:32:05,166 --> 00:32:06,667
my heart rate
never spiked.
772
00:32:06,667 --> 00:32:09,867
I never had issues
with blood pressure
at all.
773
00:32:09,867 --> 00:32:11,667
But as soon
as I was in there,
774
00:32:11,667 --> 00:32:15,166
getting my...
getting the numbing
for the epidural
775
00:32:15,166 --> 00:32:15,900
and then getting
the epidural,
776
00:32:15,900 --> 00:32:17,467
my heart rate
started spiking
777
00:32:17,467 --> 00:32:18,867
and my blood pressure
started going up
778
00:32:18,867 --> 00:32:21,500
and I started
to go into a panic.
779
00:32:31,767 --> 00:32:33,667
[Christine]
Those doors are
so hard to see
780
00:32:33,667 --> 00:32:35,266
'cause you know
your child
781
00:32:35,266 --> 00:32:37,133
is on the other side
782
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,166
and there's nothing
you can do
783
00:32:40,166 --> 00:32:41,433
to help them.
784
00:32:42,266 --> 00:32:45,467
[Mykelti] I am
extremely upset
785
00:32:45,467 --> 00:32:47,667
that I can't
have Tony
786
00:32:47,667 --> 00:32:49,266
in the operating room
with me
787
00:32:49,266 --> 00:32:51,533
while I get the epidural.
788
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,533
The doctors and the nurses
in the room
789
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,867
were like,
something's going on.
790
00:32:55,867 --> 00:32:56,867
What's wrong?
791
00:32:56,867 --> 00:32:58,467
My body
was shaking
792
00:32:58,467 --> 00:33:00,834
just 'cause I was...
just anxiety.
793
00:33:00,900 --> 00:33:02,467
There's...
the only solution
794
00:33:02,467 --> 00:33:04,300
is get me my husband,
795
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,033
As soon as Tony entered
the room, though,
796
00:33:10,100 --> 00:33:11,266
he was finally able
to come in,
797
00:33:11,266 --> 00:33:13,100
and immediately
I started to calm down.
798
00:33:13,100 --> 00:33:14,967
I started to feel better
'cause I had him there.
799
00:33:14,967 --> 00:33:18,166
You just trust
these doctors so much
800
00:33:18,166 --> 00:33:20,266
that everything's
going to be okay.
801
00:33:20,266 --> 00:33:22,533
I was really glad
Aspyn was there.
802
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,033
And Robyn was there
in the room, too.
803
00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:26,467
So the three of us just sat
and waited.
804
00:33:26,467 --> 00:33:28,934
For it to be done.
805
00:33:33,367 --> 00:33:37,166
It's... it's just surprising,
a little scary,
806
00:33:37,166 --> 00:33:39,567
what it takes to get
those babies out of her.
807
00:33:39,567 --> 00:33:41,266
I was
really happy
808
00:33:41,266 --> 00:33:42,300
I could be there
during the operation,
809
00:33:42,300 --> 00:33:44,967
because it...
I know it means
the world to her
810
00:33:44,967 --> 00:33:46,967
and I wanted
to be there.
811
00:33:46,967 --> 00:33:49,000
Seeing everything,
really cool,
812
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,567
being there
for my wife,
813
00:33:50,567 --> 00:33:52,266
super, super important.
814
00:33:52,266 --> 00:33:54,934
Having kids
come back, best part.
815
00:33:59,166 --> 00:34:01,066
[Mykelti] When I have Archer
in my arms, I just...
816
00:34:01,066 --> 00:34:03,734
just instantly start
calming down
817
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,433
and everything
is fine.
818
00:34:05,500 --> 00:34:07,033
And then Ace
comes out,
819
00:34:07,100 --> 00:34:08,233
they wrap him up
a little bit
820
00:34:08,233 --> 00:34:09,266
and then they bring
him over in
my other arm.
821
00:34:09,266 --> 00:34:11,567
I'm able to hold him,
and at that point,
822
00:34:11,567 --> 00:34:12,767
I'm like, this is great.
823
00:34:12,767 --> 00:34:14,800
I'm happy.
This is awesome. Yes!
824
00:34:17,100 --> 00:34:19,533
I could hear
the voices of my moms'
825
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,133
and Aspyn
in the other room.
826
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:21,867
It was just
like this...
827
00:34:21,867 --> 00:34:24,100
an incredible experience.
828
00:34:24,100 --> 00:34:25,467
I had my boys.
829
00:34:25,467 --> 00:34:26,767
They were safe.
830
00:34:26,767 --> 00:34:28,834
They were here,
they were healthy.
831
00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:31,467
And it was
just this, just...
832
00:34:31,467 --> 00:34:35,266
over joyous experience of...
833
00:34:35,266 --> 00:34:36,734
everything's fine.
834
00:34:40,567 --> 00:34:42,100
[Kody] Robyn and Christine
are together.
835
00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:43,867
I don't know how much
they're interacting.
836
00:34:43,867 --> 00:34:46,000
I don't know
what the experience
would be like.
837
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,266
They're not here
for each other.
838
00:34:47,266 --> 00:34:48,166
They're not here
for anybody else.
839
00:34:48,166 --> 00:34:49,266
They're here
for me.
840
00:34:49,266 --> 00:34:51,033
So it's
very honoring.
841
00:34:51,100 --> 00:34:53,567
Humbling
and super special,
842
00:34:53,567 --> 00:34:56,634
because this is one
of the most incredible
843
00:34:56,700 --> 00:34:58,567
and memorable
moments of my life.
844
00:34:58,567 --> 00:35:00,166
And to be able
to share it with my moms,
845
00:35:00,166 --> 00:35:02,767
I think is really important
to me.
846
00:35:02,767 --> 00:35:04,533
[Robyn]
I was handed
Archer first,
847
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,166
and it was just love
at first sight.
848
00:35:07,166 --> 00:35:08,100
[chuckles]
849
00:35:08,100 --> 00:35:10,166
The same time
Christine was holding Ace.
850
00:35:10,166 --> 00:35:12,333
And so it was
kind of like, we were,
851
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:13,834
you know, holding...
852
00:35:22,266 --> 00:35:23,233
[exhales]
853
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,233
We're just holding
our grandbabies together.
854
00:35:28,467 --> 00:35:31,567
I just wish it was
under different
circumstances.
855
00:35:31,567 --> 00:35:33,700
As far as Christine
and I are concerned,
856
00:35:35,667 --> 00:35:39,700
and it was kind of sweet
'cause... [sniffs]
857
00:35:40,767 --> 00:35:42,133
[sighs]
858
00:35:43,667 --> 00:35:45,634
For a moment,
I could just forget all that.
859
00:35:45,700 --> 00:35:46,700
[breathes heavily]
860
00:35:48,467 --> 00:35:50,200
[soft music playing]
861
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,667
Tony and Mykelti
want me there
862
00:36:00,667 --> 00:36:02,266
and they want
Christine there.
863
00:36:02,266 --> 00:36:06,266
And Tony's mother
is really close, too.
864
00:36:06,266 --> 00:36:09,333
She's at home
watching Avalon.
865
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,100
She'll be coming
in later, too.
866
00:36:12,100 --> 00:36:15,834
What Tony
and Mykelti wants
is what's important.
867
00:36:15,900 --> 00:36:16,767
[Mykelti] My mom spent
last night
868
00:36:16,767 --> 00:36:17,767
with us in the hospital
869
00:36:17,767 --> 00:36:19,967
to help me with the twins
through the night.
870
00:36:19,967 --> 00:36:21,467
So now
she's going
to go home
871
00:36:21,467 --> 00:36:23,433
and hang out
and be at home.
872
00:36:23,500 --> 00:36:24,133
And Robyn's gonna spend
873
00:36:24,133 --> 00:36:25,934
the night with us at home
874
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,767
to help us with the twins
again through the night.
875
00:36:27,767 --> 00:36:30,367
Avalon's there.
Tony's mom,
Maria is there,
876
00:36:30,367 --> 00:36:31,367
and then that's it.
877
00:36:31,367 --> 00:36:33,467
We're just gonna
keep it kind of
a small house.
878
00:36:33,467 --> 00:36:34,867
As we go
and introduce
879
00:36:34,867 --> 00:36:38,000
the boys
to their sister.
880
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,900
[indistinct conversations]
881
00:36:41,300 --> 00:36:42,667
Hey, buddy.
882
00:36:42,667 --> 00:36:45,000
Avalon,
do you wanna meet
your brothers?
883
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,066
Do you want
to meet
your brothers?
884
00:36:47,066 --> 00:36:48,233
[gasps]
885
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:53,867
Look at the baby.
886
00:36:53,867 --> 00:36:55,767
[Tony] Whoa!
[chuckles nervously]
887
00:36:55,767 --> 00:36:57,667
So soft.
888
00:36:57,667 --> 00:36:59,133
[giggling]
889
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,667
Jeez, she went straight
for his eye.
890
00:37:01,667 --> 00:37:03,333
She's a tough kid.
891
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,166
She rough houses
a lot.
892
00:37:05,166 --> 00:37:07,333
And so, these are very
fragile babies,
893
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,166
like, I was
absolutely nervous
894
00:37:09,166 --> 00:37:10,567
about her hurting
one of them.
895
00:37:10,567 --> 00:37:13,066
Avalon look,
there's another baby
over here.
896
00:37:13,066 --> 00:37:16,033
[Avalon fussing]
897
00:37:16,100 --> 00:37:18,367
[Robyn] Avalon...
898
00:37:18,367 --> 00:37:21,233
looks stressed out.
899
00:37:21,300 --> 00:37:22,266
Do you need
his hat off?
900
00:37:22,266 --> 00:37:24,100
[Avalon fussing]
901
00:37:24,100 --> 00:37:25,367
Good job.
902
00:37:25,367 --> 00:37:28,000
She finally realized.
903
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,066
These aren't just babies,
and they're not toys.
904
00:37:31,066 --> 00:37:36,100
They're actual humans,
and they belong
to Mommy and Daddy.
905
00:37:36,100 --> 00:37:39,367
I think it just,
it was honestly heartbreaking.
906
00:37:39,367 --> 00:37:42,066
You got him?
You got him?
Okay?
907
00:37:42,066 --> 00:37:43,166
-[Tony] You sure?
-Thank you.
908
00:37:43,166 --> 00:37:44,867
[Tony] Okay, okay here.
909
00:37:44,867 --> 00:37:47,033
You're not ready.
910
00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:48,667
You're not ready.
911
00:37:48,667 --> 00:37:51,767
I mean, I guess,
you know, having
a plural family, and we
912
00:37:51,767 --> 00:37:54,333
at that time,
all lived together.
913
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:55,734
Um, it was
very different
914
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,734
than having
two parents and one child.
915
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,100
[Kody] I had three wives
before I had any children.
916
00:38:01,100 --> 00:38:03,033
We sort of did...
917
00:38:03,100 --> 00:38:04,800
all pitch in
with the baby.
918
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,233
[Avalon crying]
919
00:38:08,300 --> 00:38:09,767
[Robyn]
It's a big change.
920
00:38:09,767 --> 00:38:12,767
[Kody] I don't,
personally recall...
921
00:38:12,767 --> 00:38:14,734
any of my children
922
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,367
being specifically...
923
00:38:16,367 --> 00:38:19,667
weirded out
by a new baby,
924
00:38:19,667 --> 00:38:20,567
[Mykelti]
Come cuddle.
925
00:38:20,567 --> 00:38:21,467
[Avalon fussing]
926
00:38:21,467 --> 00:38:22,667
[Aspyn] This is
when she's...
927
00:38:22,667 --> 00:38:25,867
She's understanding
now a little bit.
928
00:38:25,867 --> 00:38:28,967
Here she's excluded.
She just left.
929
00:38:28,967 --> 00:38:33,333
I don't know
if our kids really had time
930
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:34,734
to, like, grow up
to be a toddler,
931
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,133
to be like,
"Wait a second.
932
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:37,100
Who is this other child?"
933
00:38:37,100 --> 00:38:38,467
There's just always
another one coming.
934
00:38:38,467 --> 00:38:39,667
[chuckles]
935
00:38:39,667 --> 00:38:41,834
There was
some weird stuff
that happened.
936
00:38:41,900 --> 00:38:43,467
I mean, like, I had
my first child
937
00:38:43,467 --> 00:38:45,934
and there was
a mother that was jealous.
938
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:46,900
Come here, Logan.
939
00:38:46,900 --> 00:38:48,433
-[Christine] Meri, call him.
-Come here.
940
00:38:48,500 --> 00:38:49,734
[Kody] It was Christine
who got jealous
941
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:50,934
when Logan
was born.
942
00:38:51,567 --> 00:38:54,000
Logan was
absolutely lovely.
943
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,367
What I was
going through was
944
00:38:55,367 --> 00:38:57,967
the first year of being
in plural marriage.
945
00:38:57,967 --> 00:38:59,634
It was so hard.
946
00:38:59,700 --> 00:39:02,600
I felt like I lost
my identity completely.
947
00:39:04,166 --> 00:39:06,367
[Kody] Having all
those kids that young,
948
00:39:06,367 --> 00:39:07,767
we were all involved.
949
00:39:07,767 --> 00:39:09,667
It was supposed
to be
950
00:39:09,667 --> 00:39:11,767
um, this...
951
00:39:11,767 --> 00:39:14,667
extremely benevolent
experience,
952
00:39:14,667 --> 00:39:16,266
and now that
it's all come apart for me,
953
00:39:16,266 --> 00:39:18,333
I'm just going, was it...
954
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,500
was it just
suppressed jealousy?
955
00:39:22,100 --> 00:39:25,266
Or was it sometimes
suppressed rage?
956
00:39:25,266 --> 00:39:26,433
I don't know.
957
00:39:26,500 --> 00:39:27,767
All right, Tony,
Let's go upstairs.
958
00:39:27,767 --> 00:39:29,433
Here, Aspyn.
Will you take him?
959
00:39:29,500 --> 00:39:30,433
Let's go.
960
00:39:30,500 --> 00:39:31,467
This is Archer.
961
00:39:31,467 --> 00:39:32,467
[Tony]
Protect the law
of Archer's church.
962
00:39:32,467 --> 00:39:33,867
Oh, I just shocked him.
963
00:39:33,867 --> 00:39:34,867
Sorry, baby.
964
00:39:34,867 --> 00:39:37,567
[Archer crying]
965
00:39:37,567 --> 00:39:38,867
[cooing]
966
00:39:38,867 --> 00:39:41,867
[Christine] They look
nothing alike at all.
967
00:39:41,867 --> 00:39:43,266
They are
fraternal twins,
968
00:39:43,266 --> 00:39:44,667
which means
they are
not identical.
969
00:39:44,667 --> 00:39:47,367
They don't
look alike at all.
970
00:39:47,367 --> 00:39:49,233
And they look
nothing like Avalon.
971
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,367
[Mykelti]
No, stop. Let go.
972
00:39:52,367 --> 00:39:53,767
-God, don't do that.
-[Tony] Okay.
973
00:39:53,767 --> 00:39:54,967
[Mykelti] Robyn's gonna
stay with us
974
00:39:54,967 --> 00:39:55,934
for the next couple
of days.
975
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,634
Help us through
the night.
976
00:39:57,700 --> 00:40:00,100
She's just gonna
be here kind of 24/7.
977
00:40:00,100 --> 00:40:02,333
[Robyn] Well...
[chuckles]
978
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:03,133
[Mykelti] This was
really nice
979
00:40:03,133 --> 00:40:04,433
'cause Robyn
was able to get
980
00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:06,233
this bonding
with her grandkids.
981
00:40:06,300 --> 00:40:08,266
So, when Robyn goes back home,
982
00:40:08,266 --> 00:40:10,266
Mom will be able to have
her bonding
983
00:40:10,266 --> 00:40:11,967
as well
with her grandkids.
984
00:40:11,967 --> 00:40:13,367
Then Maria
being able to come up
985
00:40:13,367 --> 00:40:15,133
and have
her bonding as well.
986
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:16,600
It's just...
it's really nice.
987
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,734
Yeah. Yeah,
this is the bed
988
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:22,867
I gave birth
to Avalon in.
989
00:40:22,867 --> 00:40:25,834
All Robyn's kids
love Mykelti.
990
00:40:26,467 --> 00:40:28,100
She puts a lot
on herself.
991
00:40:28,100 --> 00:40:30,533
She puts a lot of
all of this on herself,
992
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,166
about bringing
the family together,
993
00:40:32,166 --> 00:40:34,266
and having it
be her role,
994
00:40:34,266 --> 00:40:36,300
because she gets along great
with Robyn.
995
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,634
And she
gets along great with me.
996
00:40:39,700 --> 00:40:41,867
Kody and Robyn are
grandparents to Avalon,
997
00:40:41,867 --> 00:40:44,066
and they'll
be grandparents for the twins.
998
00:40:44,066 --> 00:40:45,934
Well, no. I technically
gave birth
999
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,467
to Avalon on the floor.
1000
00:40:47,467 --> 00:40:49,133
[Maria] Yep,
that's true. [chuckles]
1001
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,367
It's crazy
'cause people think
when they get...
1002
00:40:52,367 --> 00:40:54,967
when they split,
when they divorce
or whatever,
1003
00:40:54,967 --> 00:40:56,233
that they won't have to see
each other.
1004
00:40:56,300 --> 00:40:57,400
And that's not true.
1005
00:41:00,166 --> 00:41:02,000
You'll always be in each
other's lives
1006
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,133
somehow or another.
1007
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,266
I'm going to be the one
1008
00:41:04,266 --> 00:41:06,233
kind of helping the most.
1009
00:41:06,300 --> 00:41:07,934
And then
I'm sure Christine
1010
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,934
will kind of step in
after I leave
1011
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,600
and I'll hand the baton off
to her kind of a thing.
So...
1012
00:41:15,767 --> 00:41:17,100
[Christine] Having
Robyn there, to me,
1013
00:41:17,100 --> 00:41:18,700
just showed that...
1014
00:41:20,367 --> 00:41:22,000
I don't know how long
it's gonna take
1015
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,767
for all of us to get back
together again
1016
00:41:23,767 --> 00:41:26,033
and be okay in
each other's presence.
1017
00:41:26,867 --> 00:41:27,900
It was awkward.
1018
00:41:29,100 --> 00:41:30,867
And it's going
to be awkward
for a while,
1019
00:41:30,867 --> 00:41:34,567
and I don't know
what the future
looks like.
1020
00:41:34,567 --> 00:41:36,767
We'll do it
for our kids, but...
1021
00:41:36,767 --> 00:41:38,433
it's not gonna happen,
1022
00:41:38,500 --> 00:41:41,500
anything that
I want to have
happen, soon.
1023
00:41:45,767 --> 00:41:47,867
[Kody speaking]
1024
00:41:47,867 --> 00:41:49,467
You want some dark...
1025
00:41:49,467 --> 00:41:51,033
This is the first
Thanksgiving
1026
00:41:51,100 --> 00:41:52,166
that Robyn and I
are having
1027
00:41:52,166 --> 00:41:53,433
with just
our children.
1028
00:41:53,500 --> 00:41:54,667
[Meri] I've heard
Kody say
1029
00:41:54,667 --> 00:41:56,033
how awkward it is
1030
00:41:56,100 --> 00:41:57,467
because he can't show
the affection
1031
00:41:57,467 --> 00:42:00,066
to Robyn and I'm not gonna
inhibit that.
1032
00:42:00,066 --> 00:42:02,433
-Robin slept in the closet
-Seriously?
1033
00:42:02,500 --> 00:42:03,467
and she had
both boys with her,
1034
00:42:03,467 --> 00:42:05,100
and when they
would wake up
and be hungry,
1035
00:42:05,100 --> 00:42:05,734
I'd feed one of the boys
1036
00:42:05,734 --> 00:42:07,166
and she'd go
back to bed.
1037
00:42:07,166 --> 00:42:08,066
I said, "I'll take
the closet.
1038
00:42:08,066 --> 00:42:10,000
Like, you should
stay in the bed with her."
1039
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,667
And she wouldn't do it.
1040
00:42:11,667 --> 00:42:14,033
[Robyn] I was
putting pressure on Kody
1041
00:42:14,100 --> 00:42:16,734
to work on his relationships
with his kids.
1042
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,066
I'm tired of being angry.
1043
00:42:18,066 --> 00:42:19,767
Well, I'm having
a hard time,
1044
00:42:19,767 --> 00:42:20,967
not...
1045
00:42:20,967 --> 00:42:23,734
losing respect
for you a little bit.
1046
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,934
I think that Kody should
be camping out
1047
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:26,767
on their doorsteps.
1048
00:42:26,767 --> 00:42:28,567
Your kids need you.
