[woman] Previously on Unexpected...
-[Lilly] I'm gonna miss you. -I know. You gotta go be a mama on your own.
Feel like I needed to move out to get a sense of what motherhood really is.
But it's weird not to have my mom around all the time.
I'd like to have a wedding. The ceremony and all of that.
Look at this. It's bougie as hell.
I'm worried that we're never, ever gonna be able to pay for a wedding.
-[Lawrence] We [bleep]. -Yup.
The only advice I could give to you guys is, being patient with each other.
Growing up with a single dad, I don't know how moms really work.
But I'm actually planning on moving into Taryn's after the baby's born.
I haven't talked to my dad about it yet
because I'm worried he's not gonna take it that well.
My name is Aniyah, I'm 17 and I'm pregnant.
I'm really excited for our baby shower. It's gonna be extravagant.
Mom, what else can we have? Let's get an elephant.
-[Ashley] You hear what she's saying? -Oh, my gosh.
You better get used to it
because I got, like, a whole bucket list of things
I wanna do before the baby gets here.
Oh, my God.
-[???] Yeah. -You are?
I'm excited to meet him.
[Jenna] JJ is my boyfriend.
JJ got me this ring.
-Well, he should have called and asked me... -No, he shouldn't.
What the [bleep] is going on right now?
[child] Uh-oh.
♪ Big, little, end of day ♪
♪ Rock the room Rock the show ♪
-You want waffles or cereal? -Waffles. Eggs.
Got a little microwave bacon.
I'm not cooking eggs right now.
-You see the time right now? -[Lawrence] What that mean?
-It's 7:20. -So?
She's gotta be to school.
I only cook breakfast like that on the weekends. You should know that by now.
I'm Lilly. I'm 22 years old and I'm mom to Aaliyah and LJ.
-I'm Lawrence. -[LJ babbling]
[LJ laughing]
[Lilly] Hey. Come to mommy, now.
-Go to your moms, man. -[LJ babbling]
You gotta be good boy for Mommy.
I do not have the patience for this [bleep]. I really don't.
Okay, give him the apple juice.
I'm Lawrence. I'm 21 years old and Lilly's fiance.
LJ's dad and I'm Aaliyah's step-dad.
[LJ laughing]
Aaliyah.
Use your listening ears and come put your clothes on.
-Mom, can you help me? -Yes, come on.
I'm trying to use the bath... I gotta...
[Lilly] Okay. I gotta get her dressed. Come on over.
I feel like all I've done since I was 16 is, you know, stay home and raise babies.
-[woman] Good job, Lil. -[babbling]
Like, they hand you this life and it's like, "Here you go. You're responsible for this."
Gonna have a baby soon.
This is baby LJ and I'm his big sister.
Pee in my pants.
-Did you pee your pants? -Uh-huh.
God.
♪ Happy birthday to you♪
I don't think I've had a moment to myself since
September 4th, 2017 at 3:41 a.m.
Yeah. [chuckles]
-[LJ whining] -No boobies.
LJ, that's really not nice to Mommy. You're gonna give Mommy boo-boos.
[LJ crying]
I'm just hoping that one day LJ will wake up and not wanna breastfeed anymore.
Because trying to ween him off or go cold turkey has just been torture.
You want milk in a cup?
No!
I've already done that. I've already been putting lemon on there.
Sour boobs.
So he thinks it's yucky and he just literally doesn't care.
-[LJ crying] -[Lawrence] I'm not too happy with it.
Every time I get to hugging on Lilly, touching on Lilly,
"Mom, boob!"
Like, you know, dude, like, suckin' on your moms boobs ain't cool no more.
LJ, not nice. Mommy put her away now.
-No, Mommy's putting it away now. -[LJ crying]
Did you hit your head?
Lawrence definitely has it very easy compared to me.
I'm not saying that leaving the house and going to work isn't tiring.
But, um, I end up getting the [bleep] end of the stick.
There's definitely certain days
if I'm, like, cleaning the house, and the kids are being bad,
and I'm stressed out, and everything's a mess and he's sitting there.
I'm, like, in my head, like, "I'm gonna, like, punch you in the face."
But then, other days I don't really care.
So even though he's not as helpful as he could be,
he still does a hell of a lot providing.
And there's no one else I would want to be with.
From the minute we started hanging out
I was just head over heels for him.
And that never went away.
And I think, even though my mom isn't going to like the idea,
I'm ready to plan our wedding.
[Lawrence] Have a good day.
-[bleep]. -October 10th, 2020.
We've been engaged for three years?
-That's [bleep] crazy. Two and a half. -Two.
-Will you marry me? -Oh, my God. Yes.
I love you.
Truth be told, I couldn't imagine planning a wedding.
When we first got engaged that would've been, uh, horrific, you know.
Even now, we need a good six months
before we're in a good place financially that we could save up to get married.
Which gives me enough time to build up the courage to tell my mom.
♪ Oh, way Nobody gonna stop me ♪
♪ Too hot, on fire Nobody can touch me ♪
♪ Just do what I wanna do ♪
♪ 'Cause I do What I wanna do ♪
-Going to see our baby. -Let's go see our baby.
We're headed to our 4D ultrasound
and we're meeting both of our families there.
I think we have about 20 people meeting us at this ultrasound.
-That's a lot of people. -[Aniyah chuckles]
[Dakwon] Yeah, they all right.
My family just wanna come see what the baby look like.
Just to see what features he got from us. For real, for real.
Um, I think both of our families are coming to see the baby.
But my family is all up in the business of everything.
I don't get no privacy from anything or from anybody.
-[Aniyah chuckles] -Yeah.
Like, when my mom went through my phone
and she saw that, you know, we were engaging in sexual activities...
-Wow. -...my whole family knew about it.
Because she told them.
It's like you walk in, "Oh, well, I heard..."
-[both chuckle] -Right. Like...
Wow.
-I've really gotta pee, like, so bad. -You gotta pee?
Yes, I have to pee.
-[mimicking water running] -Like, I feel like I gotta squeeze my toes.
Dae, for real, stop. So then if I pee in your car, you're gonna be very upset.
-[mimicking water running] -Drive a...
-Drive a little bit faster. -[Dakwon] I can't.
-[mimicking water running] -Stop!
I've been basically, like, sleepwalking to the bathroom
because they have me drinking so much water for this ultrasound.
So his picture and his face will be clear.
This is actually our second time getting a 3D, 4D ultrasound.
Our first time going was when we hit six months.
He's got his little hand up there.
-He was really, like... -Grumpy.
Like...
He was covering his face.
So I really hope, I really, really, really, really hope
that he shows us what he looks like because everybody came here to see him.
-[Dakwon] Oh, God. -Thank you.
-[Ashley] Hey, y'all. -I'm sorry, but I have to pee really badly.
So excuse me.
Hey, Mom. It's been a long time since I've seen you.
It seems just like eight o'clock this morning.
My name is Toya and I am Dakwon's mother.
We don't have any babies in our family. Lela is the youngest.
And she's nine.
So we're about to have a new, fresh baby.
-This is the first great-grandbaby. -You're not a baby no more.
-Dang! And I used to take you out spying. -[all exclaiming]
[Blake] No, me.
-Everybody. -[all laughing]
[sighs in relief] Okay. I'm back now.
-Thank you. -[Aniyah] You're welcome.
Here, drink this to get the baby up and moving.
-[can fizzing] -Ooh.
-Aniyah? -Mmm-hmm.
-Are y'all ready to go back? -Mmm-hmm.
-Is everybody coming with you. -[all] Yes!
[indistinct chatter]
-[Dakwon] I miss my... -[Aniyah laughing]
[Aniyah] No, we're trying to get him up.
Before we even get started I wanna make sure that Aniyis is awake.
Because he's really stubborn and I need him to show his face,
so we can show him off while we here.
[Robin] What's the baby mama dance?
[Ashley] You gotta do it, Aniyah.
You gotta do the baby mama dance.
He gone move after this.
♪ Baby mamas This is your song♪
♪ Been pregnant For way too long ♪
♪If she your baby mama ♪
-♪ Go ahead♪ -♪ She gonna do That baby mama ♪
I'm literally doing everything that I can to wake him up
because I'm gonna get a good picture.
[Ashley] Aniyah, do jumping jacks.
One, two, three, four.
Doing jumping jacks. I'm doing toe to toes.
[all laughing]
[woman] I know you got to show.
Like, this boy has me running outside.
[Amayra] Aniyah, I ain't about to play with you.
Now, hold on, let me give him a one-on-one talk real quick.
Aniyis, one thing we not gonna do is waste money, okay?
-So you need to get up. -We're trying to see you. Come on.
-Yeah. -Come on.
DaeDae thinks I'm being dramatic
because I really wanna see his face,
but it's just that I don't like surprises.
It's a spoiler. Why you wanna see his face so early? Like...
-Because I don't... -You're about see him in, like, six weeks.
-Max. -No, like four.
-Thirty-six weeks. -It's the same thing.
-Six weeks. [chuckles] -It's not the same thing.
But, no, I need to see his face
because I just need to know what he's looking like.
Uh, please move.
-[Latoya speaking] -[all laughing]
I just felt like she was gonna put herself into pre-labor.
So later on tonight, she may have contractions
because she was doing a little bit too much.
[Robin speaking]
Okay. I drank so much water.
[Robin speaking]
Come on.
[woman] Let's see.
[Robin speaking]
[Aniyah] I just wish he'd move.
Jesus Christ. Like, beep-beep, come on.
[Robin] Come on.
Can you stop with doing that?
This is not the time to sleep.
Every time I turn around DaeDae is asleep.
Like, he was... Even at the first ultrasound he fell asleep.
Second ultrasound, I look back, he asleep.
When I'm bored I just go to sleep.
So when you have Aniyis and you just get bored out of nowhere, what,
you gonna go to sleep?
I mean, if he not crying I might.
No.
-I might. I just might. -That's not what you do.
[Latoya] DaeDae, talk to her.
-Do that. -Yo.
[all laughing]
-He didn't like that. -What?
-Sing his name. -[Dakwon] Aniyis.
Dakwon, he's in for a shock.
Um, he's in for a rude awakening.
Everything is about the baby now.
You're absolutely... I mean, you're still important, but...
I'm just letting you know, like, you have to put the baby's needs
before your own needs now, so that's the way it works.
-Wake up. Is that good enough? -[Latoya] No.
[Aniyah] Quit being all sweet. Tell him to get up.
[child] You are the father.
-Hello? -[Aniyah laughing]
I hope that DaeDae's gonna step up and be the best father he can be.
But, um, from what I'm seeing, there's plenty of room for growth.
-That would exactly be the advice, like. -[laughing]
Leave him alone.
She don't like none of our dads.
She didn't want nothing to do with 'em.
That's men. Just in general. Majority rules.
Most of these guys don't take care of their children.
He's not waking up. I'm sorry. I tried my best.
So I'm gonna be very involved
in raising Aniyis.
I already knew that. 'Cause you mama number two.
You don't really have a choice.
[chuckling] Girl, you can go to hell.
I mean, you don't have a choice 'cause I live with you.
What you gonna do?
[sighs]
-[Casey] Hey, everybody. -Hey, Dad.
I kind of been putting off telling my dad that I wanna move in with Nate.
I kinda have to pull up my big girl panties and talk to him about it.
But I'm scared.
Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
-[machines beeping] -Ow!
If Aniyah's blood pressure continues to rise, it could put the baby in distress,
and cause early labor, and even a, um, caesarean.
Oh, Moses.
So I'm very concerned.
[vocalizing]
-[Jenna] Tootie, are you excited? -[child] Yeah.
[Jenna] Are you excited?
Thank God that that drive is done.
After sitting in the truck with my dad for, like, 10 plus hours,
I am so happy to be in Myrtle Beach.
-When's JJ gonna get in? -He's already there.
I'm worried that my dad's gonna make my boyfriend, JJ, uncomfortable.
Just because he had one of his hissy fits
when I told him about the promise ring,
so I have no idea what's about to happen.
Come on, Luca.
Come on. Look.
I'm JJ. I'm 19 years old and I'm Jenna's boyfriend.
♪ I'm not gonna let you go♪
JJ was, like, my boyfriend all throughout elementary school
and in junior high.
Um, JJ was my first kiss.
[JJ] I think I was 10 and you were 11.
We dated for about two years before I moved here.
And I'm sure that if JJ never moved
I would have lost my virginity to JJ, but he moved.
So it was just like...
It was a long time coming.
[JJ chuckles]
To have sex with JJ?
Well, yeah, I was nervous to have sex with JJ. I told that.
Well, JJ was the first person beside Aden
that I had sex with after having a baby.
So it was like, um, I didn't know...
if my vagina was the same.
Don't worry, it is. And all was well.
Very nice.
Oh, my God, no. [bleep]. I didn't move here for [bleep].
[chuckles]
Jenna is worried about the questions that her dad is gonna ask me.
I am definitely anxious to meet Matt.
Jenna, where are you gonna want this stuff?
[Jenna] Just set it against the wall.
My dad's being so awkward and I wish that he would just be normal and talk.
Maybe introduce himself and be nice to JJ because at the end of the day,
he's probably a little uncomfortable in this situation right now.
-Where's this go? The porch? -Yeah.
-Why isn't it locked? -It was.
-Oh. -It was.
Just keep it locked.
My concerns with Jenna and this whole move
are just typical concerns any father would have.
-Is that a door? -[Jenna] Yeah, a sliding glass door.
Is she gonna be safe? Is she in a safe neighborhood?
And of course, I'm worried about who this guy is
who she's moving down here for.
-Should we sit down? -[Jenna] Okay.
JJ, come here.
This is JJ.
-How long are you planning on staying for? -[Matt chuckles]
I'm leaving tomorrow morning. But we're coming back down for Thanksgiving.
I don't believe that I'm a very trusting person,
so I'm hesitant about JJ.
Especially after her previous relationship.
I don't wanna see her hurt again.
Mama.
[crying]
[Jenna] I think Luca's tired.
You ready?
All right. Good night.
-[Matt] I love you. Let me give him a kiss. -[Jenna] Love you.
[Matt] Love you, buddy.
Good night. Wanna say night-night?
[Matt] Good night, buddy.
Go to sleep.
I feel bad, but I have to tend to my son.
So I kind of just have to leave JJ out there
to fend for himself with my dad.
This could get a little rough.
[Matt] How do you like being around a two-year-old?
It has its ups and downs.
Like this part right here?
Probably the least favorite part.
Yeah, well, maybe you should go help her deal with it.
-Oh, I definitely should. -[Matt] Yeah. [chuckles] All right.
JJ has to be acceptant of Luca.
And, I mean, at 19 years old, I was in the Marine Corps at the time,
but I wasn't ready to be a father.
That wasn't...
where I was.
You know what I mean? That's why it's hard for me to understand.
But I'm spent because I just did a 10-hour ride with Jenna and a two-year-old.
And I do want to reserve judgment until I can get to know him a little bit better.
So, I'm not done talking to him yet.
We're coming back down for Thanksgiving,
so I'll talk to him then about the promise ring,
and his intentions when I can think a little more clearly.
Do you want Parmesan cheese or peppers?
Parmesan? Okay.
-Hey, Willie. -Hi, Dad.
-[Casey] How's it going? -[Emalee] Good.
Me, my dad and my little brother live at my house right now.
And my dad's gone a lot of the time. He works pretty far.
So it's like I only see him in the evenings at dinner time.
So when Nate and I hang out, it's usually at my dad's house.
-No, so... -[laughs] I don't know where...
The day that we, like, he was conceived. Her dad was home.
'Cause it was, like...
-My dad was home when we conceived my baby. -Uh-huh.
[laughs] That's disgusting.
[laughing]
Conceived is when he was made.
Yeah. Your dad was home.
That's disgusting. [laughs]
-Wh... Wh... Why? -[laughs] I need a second.
-[Casey] Are y'all done? -[Jackson] No, no, no, no.
[Casey] You... You don't like pepper?
-There's some over there. -Oh.
My name is Casey. I'm 40 years old and I'm Emalee's dad.
After I got pregnant, it took me 14 weeks to just tell my dad.
I originally was terrified to tell him.
Not because I thought
he would disown me,
but kind of because I thought he would disown me. [chuckles nervously]
Uh, but that clearly was not the case.
I think she's needed
solid, rock steady figure in her life, now more than ever.
Emalee was 10 months old when her mother and I separated.
She would disappear and not talk to us for months at a time.
And then she moved to Alaska and didn't tell me or my brother.
Once I was old enough to really comprehend all of the things
that she had put all of us through,
I basically was like, "She's not trying to make an effort
"to be a part of my life."
And as her child, I don't think it's my responsibility to be
the bigger person in this situation.
And I don't owe her anything.
Which led to us not ever talking at all.
It's probably the main thing in my life that has caused me the most pain and trauma.
But at the same time, it's also made me almost
want to be a mother more.
So I can give my kid everything that I never got emotionally from my own mom.
-[Casey] How was your day? -[Emalee] Good.
Um, the principal came up to me.
She basically said she's gonna do what she can
to make sure that I graduate.
But I told her that I have plans
to take time off when the baby's first born
because it'll be easier for breastfeeding.
Sure.
Oh, he just kicked me really hard. Um...
[Emalee] Yeah. Way to make it about yourself.
Feel right here.
That's someone's body part.
-It's a human being inside of another human being. -You can literally see
the lump of it.
The thought that there's an actual human growing inside of you, it's just off.
Like there's a penis inside of me.
Like, that I grew myself.
Isn't that weird?
Yeah, and...
But, like, how cool is that? I've grown a penis and you've never.
You just got the penis.
-Well, it... -I grew it.
That's gross.
I kind of been putting of telling my dad that I want to move in with Nate.
Just because...
I don't want to hurt his feelings, I guess you could say.
But now that Westley will be coming soon,
I kind of have to pull up my big girl panties and tell him.
Um, so... [clears throat]
Um, my plan as of now...
Um, immediately after Westley's born,
I think I'm gonna stay at Nate's house.
That way I have Nate there 24/7 for his help.
And so I have his mom, Taryn, there.
Um, so she can kind of give me that motherly help.
-And I've talked to Taryn about it too. -Well, I'd hope so.
Right, it's her house.
But...
I am 18, so I never really asked your, like, permission.
But I would still like to know how you feel about it.
Well, any father that has a daughter would agree that age doesn't matter.
-That you're 18 or not. Um... -Mm-hmm.
[Casey] But there's concern there, that plan.
[Emalee] Yeah.
[Casey] Finding out about Emalee's plans, it's saddening.
Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you come to me?
It's not personal, I promise.
I just think Taryn could
give a little bit more advice and help with me and the baby
rather than my dad because Taryn's breast-fed.
-My dad's obviously not. -Didn't work out.
Yeah. [chuckles]
-I think you should talk to Taryn a little bit. -[Casey] All right.
[Emalee] Plan a lunch or something. I'm sure she'd be okay with it.
She's single, you know.
Yeah, I mean, I'm all for making it more awkward.
-So... -No, that was a joke.
"How do you guys know each other?" Well...
-[chuckles] -Do I find his mother attractive? Yes.
Does it make him uncomfortable and my daughter uncomfortable?
Probably.
Um, I'm used to it.
So you don't think it's weird?
No, I definitely think it would be weird
if my mom and your dad were dating, but...
If they were doing the dirty?
-Yeah, that would be weird. No. -[Emalee] In the same house.
It's just gross.
[Casey] But I'm trying to not let that distract me.
I want to see if I can try to get everything out there,
so Taryn and I can work on the same page
as far as the baby 'cause it's coming up quick.
But I'm still...
human and his mom, she is a cougar.
-I won't deny that. -It's gross.
[Lilly] My nerves are shot.
LJ, don't spit apple juice in Gram's car.
-[Lilly] It's okay. -Mm-mm.
My mom, I think sometimes she definitely doesn't trust my, like, parenting decisions.
You're son took a bath at apple juice.
-[Lilly] It's fine. -[Kim] No.
I do respect her input, but it's also my life
and I'm going to do things the way I want.
♪ This is my house This is my crib ♪
♪ This is where we kick it This is where we do What we do ♪
-Hello. -[Lilly] Grandma!
How's my baby?
-Hi, Grandma. -[Kim] Hi, baby.
-Gonna go get Mouse? -[Lilly] Yeah.
Do you feel up to driving?
-[Lilly] Sure. -It's raining.
-I think I can do it. -[Kim] Okay.
I am here to drive with Lilly to pick Aaliyah up from school
because Lilly only has her driving permit.
She is so focused on her kids
that she hasn't focused on growing up herself.
Not having a license is one example.
She's still a kid in a lot of ways.
Yep, fix your mirrors.
Right, we can't do that.
Hang on, buddy. Grandma's just lowering it. Wait a minute.
Okay.
Can you see with all this here?
You wanna wipe it off then. You never wanna drive unless it's good.
We can't have that. You'll crash. Can I have this, bud?
LJ, Grandma's just gonna take this for a minute. You keep turning it up.
-Is he doing it or does it go on automatic? -Yeah, he's doing it.
Don't turn it up, LJ, okay? Mommy's gotta drive and we wanna be safe.
My mom is just a very, like, overly cautious person.
And I'm not saying it's bad. I'm cautious too,
but I feel like kids need to experience things.
Everyone should experience things that my mom,
like, would completely rule out if it was up to her.
Especially when it comes to my engagement.
-Oh, my god! -[Kim] Wow!
You're just starting your life together.
Not that I'm saying anything's wrong with your relationship or anything like that,
but it's just when you get to know somebody, it takes time.
And you guys keep doing all these things on warped speed.
You can see it from here.
-It's blinding me. -Yeah, gotta get my sunglasses on.
[Lilly] And even though we've been together for almost four years now,
she's just still not on board with me getting married.
[car horn honks]
Whoa. [chuckles]
We made it.
We're gonna get Mouse.
Our little Mousie's coming out.
-[woman] All right. -[Lilly and Kim] Hi!
-[woman] Have a happy holiday. -You too.
-Same to you. -[woman] See you in the new year.
-Yes, thank you. -[Kim] Merry Christmas.
All right, now Mommy's driving,
so we gotta remember to be a little quiet. Okay?
Me and my mom, we have very different parenting styles.
[whispering] Yes.
[chuckles lightly]
I just, like... I always remember my mom being,
like, the most patient person in the world.
Like, she would never lose her cool with me.
But... not that she loses her cool with my kids,
but you can just tell as she got older,
-her patience has very much decreased. -Yeah, it's true.
Like, she cannot take the bull [bleep].
Your kids are like... I love them but, they're like wild animals.
And... And you don't seem to tell them.
Like, "No, don't do this,"
"Don't do that." Like, "Don't climb on the table. Don't."
[Lilly] It's hard because I really try to do the gentle parenting.
Like, "Hey, please, don't do that."
But you do that for so long that everything's destroyed.
-[LJ babbling] -Whoo! God.
Everything. The whole house.
You've got the whole house is destroyed.
Destroyed.
So it's... it's pretty bad.
Mom, LJ's spitting.
[Kim] LJ, don't spit apple juice in Gram's car.
Mm-mm.
It's caca. You're gonna get my car all caca'd right up.
-[Lilly] It's fine. -[Kim] No.
Your son took a bath at apple juice.
[Lilly] My mom is my best friend,
but she definitely still views me as, like, her teenaged daughter.
Like, I think sometimes she definitely doesn't trust my parenting decisions.
[Kim] Give this to Gram. This is caca.
[LJ shrieks]
I've never told my mom to back off or, like, leave me alone
'cause I just... You know, I do respect her input,
but it's also my life and I'm going to do things the way I want.
And that includes marrying the man that I love.
[Casey] Is this vodka?
[Taryn chuckles]
Casey called me to invite me to go and have lunch with him.
So how do you feel about her wanting to come stay with us after the baby's born?
I think it's a horrible idea.
Yeah, that's my honest opinion.

-Okay, I'll get you over here. -[Taryn] Thank you.
When Casey called me to invite me to go and have lunch with him,
it was kind of shocking because, uh, he has not reached out prior to this.
I am feeling a little anxious.
Um, having not had a real conversation with him
about Emalee, Nate having a baby,
I don't know the direction it's gonna go,
I don't know how he feels towards Emalee wanting to move in with us.
So I hope we're on the same page with everything together.
[Casey] How's it going?
-Good. How are you? -[Casey] Good.
My relationship with Taryn is very minimal to this point.
Greetings and salutations type stuff.
My thoughts on Taryn are that she's hot.
Blonde hair, big booty.
Shh.
That's my baby's grandma.
Show some respect.
[chuckles]
-How are you doing? -[Casey] Good. How are you?
-I'm good. -[Casey] Yeah?
Yeah.
The laws of attraction are not there for your convenience.
But I'm trying to not let that distract me
when we need to talk about what's important and relevant.
Which is I need some reassurance that she can provide a safe space
for the baby and Emalee.
-[both] Thank you. -[server] You're welcome.
[Casey] Is this vodka?
[Taryn chuckles] I wish.
-We are grandparents now. So cheers to that. -[Casey] Yeah.
-[glasses clink] -[Taryn] Whoo.
-[Casey] And here we are. -Yeah.
-[Casey] I mean... -Two weeks out.
Or any second. You never know.
So how do you feel about her wanting to come stay with us after the baby's born?
Um, I mean, I think it's a horrible idea.
-She's my only daughter, you know, it's like... -Yeah.
...uncharted territory.
Yeah, that's my honest opinion.
I think it'll be beneficial to have Taryn's support.
But I can also see it being... a lot at once
because I've only ever lived with my dad.
So not only am I having a baby,
but I'm moving in with my boyfriend full time,
dealing with his mom, who I love but it's, like, what do I do with her?
Because I'm not used to a mom figure around.
So, it's just a lot all at once.
[Taryn] When they brought it up to me about wanting to stay with me,
I went back and forth. Well, he is only 16 years old,
but I also don't want him to miss out on all the newborn stages.
And that first year of life goes so quick.
-And they change... -A lot of teen parents don't get to be a part of that.
Yeah.
Of course I have reservations with letting my son's girlfriend move in.
But at the same time, I want Nate to be involved.
And I want them to be able to raise their baby together.
So if that means that they move in with me,
then that means they move in with me.
At least, this way I can keep an eye on him.
And Emalee too for that matter.
The only thing really that her and I have had any, like, headbutting about
is she wants to take time off from school
and I don't like it.
Why create that path for yourself when you have the support,
you have the household to provide for your kid right now.
Continue doing something that's for you to support that child.
Yeah.
So at lunch with Taryn,
she expressed concern that you would like to take some time off from high school
after the baby is born.
Yeah. I mean, Taryn, um, she has the right to her own opinions.
But at the end of the day, she has to realize
that it's mine and Nate's life and our baby,
and that we will do whatever we want.
For Emalee, I think moving in with Taryn is, ultimately...
It's a trial by fire type of experience.
Until you're knee deep in it, you don't know how you're gonna react.
I'm gonna go ahead and pay for the meal.
I'm sure we'll have more conversations in the future and...
Some good, some bad, I'm sure.
[Taryn] Yeah.
The doctor said that they may have to induce her tonight,
but I know that's not what she wants.
Ow.
I'm very worried.
Oh, God.
I'm at the hospital because
my stomach's being really tight all day.
And it hurts really badly.
And I can't breathe and my butt hurts.
It was my grandma's idea for us to go to the hospital.
My mom didn't think it was that serious
because she said I'm pregnant so, like, obviously I'm gonna hurt sometimes.
But I was hurting all day.
To the point where I was crying.
In my opinion, when you're pregnant,
your body doesn't function like it does on a regular basis.
So it was just uncomfortableness.
It wasn't nothing to be scared of.
[video chat ringing]
[video chat chimes]
Hey.
Dang.
The doctor thinks that I have preeclampsia.
Preeclampsia's not something that I've researched,
so I don't know too much about it.
I don't know either, but from the looks of the doctors' faces
and what they're seeing, I know that it's not good.
Just not a good thing to have.
They said my blood pressure is high.
And my feet are really swollen.
The nurse, she, um...
she took my blood and she said
the results are gonna determine if they induce me or not.
Hm.
Worst case scenario is that I would have to have my baby right now.
But I don't want to be induced at all, whatsoever.
I really just wanna let him come on his own.
And that's not tonight. So [chuckles] he doesn't need to come.
We don't even have a car seat. [laughing]
How are we taking him home? Taking him home in?
My baby shower is two days away and I'm nervous
because, like, as of right now, pre-baby shower,
we're not ready.
But we're going to be ready, come the baby shower
because we'll basically have most things.
At least we'll have a car seat. That's a start.
Somebody gonna buy it. [chuckles]
I just know somebody's gonna buy it.
I'm hoping somebody's gonna buy it.
Aniyis, stop moving 'cause we mad at you.
Got me going through all this stuff.
I really look a mess. Like, I'm not prepared. Like...
[Aniyah laughs]
I wanna be fully pampered before I go into labor.
I gotta make sure my hair is done, eyebrows done, nails done, armpits waxed.
[whispering] Coochie waxed.
That's a little extra.
It's not being extra. Everything has to be in tip-top condition
because the doctors and the nurses,
they just all up in your business.
And, like, you don't have no privacy. Like...
And then they try to make you feel like it's okay, but you know it's not okay.
But they gonna make you feel like it's okay, so you feel even worse. Like...
I don't need that going on.
[Aniyah] But I'm just saying.
I just gotta look good.
[Dakwon groans]
[Aniyah speaking]
You gotta stay up.
I feel like I gotta throw up so bad.
And my butt hurts.
[machine beeping]
DaeDae, are you sleeping? You always sleeping!
This is not the time to sleep.
'Cause then if something happens, you asleep.
Ow.
He's gonna get about three pillows to the face
if he think he's about to go to sleep and I'm in pain.
Uh-uh.
Oh, God.
And then, when it comes to my mom,
she's not gonna let anything, like, bad happen to me.
Like, she's gonna make sure that I'm okay.
But I don't know if she would, like, be holding my hand and, like, talking to me
and, you know, doing all of that.
Oh, my Jesus Christ.
-[Ashley] Stop. -Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
Ow.
[Ashley speaking]
If Aniyah's blood pressure continues to rise,
it is possible that it could put the baby in distress
and cause early labor and even a cesarean.
So that's just something to be concerned about.
[woman] Next time on Unexpected...
So how's Graham been feeling lately?
Well, this morning he was acting like he is getting a tummy ache again.
Being a 15-year-old and having a girl pregnant, it's just stressful.
I didn't think it'd, like, impact his health.
[Lilly] What do you think about Christmas day,
we should tell everyone that we're moving ahead with wedding planning?
We're getting married in three months
because the wedding venue of our dreams had a sudden opening.
Three months is crazy.
Are you gonna still be doing everything for Aniyah
or are you gonna let her, like, grow up?
DaeDae's mom is being really irritating.
I don't like to be asked a lot of questions.
-I'm Matt. Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
I'm Andrea and I'm JJ's mom.
What do you know about that promise ring that JJ... Like, what is that?
I don't know anything about it.
I don't know that I would've ever pictured him at 19
being with someone that already had a child.
I definitely see Jenna as my wife someday.
[whispering] Don't say that.
