[Jenna]Previously on Unexpected...
[Graham speaking]
How's Easton doing?
He's good.
With Graham living about 30 minutes away,
it's a lot harder for Graham and Kayleigh to be able to see each other.
So, after the baby's born,
she's got a lot that is just gonna be on her.
I'm Lilly. I'm 22 years old,
and this is my fiancé Lawrence.
We've been together for almost four years now,
and we've been engaged for two.
-Will you marry me? -Oh, my God, yes.
There's no one else I would want to be with.
And I think even though my mom isn't going to like the idea,
I'm ready to plan our wedding.
So, from here to here, it's gonna be snow.
I'm really excited for our baby shower.
It's gonna be fantastic, to say the least.
[siren blaring]
They said my blood pressure is high.
The doctor thinks that I have preeclampsia.
-Bye, girl. -Bye, Jen.
It's very hard to say goodbye to Dalanie.
Like, we're not lesbian or anything,
but we're, like, in a relationship.
I'm JJ, and I'm Jenna's boyfriend.
He got me this promise ring.
Well, what's he promising?
I'm hesitant about JJ.
I'm gonna grill him.
-No, you're not. -Yes, I am.
I'm worried about my dad grilling JJ on Thanksgiving.
But there's no stopping my dad when he gets like this.
So, good luck, JJ.
Okay.
I've been fully living in Myrtle Beach
without Dalanie for about two weeks now.
I have so much less anxiety being at Myrtle, and I feel so much happier.
And today, I'm hosting Thanksgiving.
My dad, Cathy, Andrea, JJ's mom and JJ, are all coming to dinner.
And I intend to to make the best Thanksgiving anybody has ever seen or had.
[grunts]
But I have never bought a turkey before in my life,
let alone cooked one. Besides deli.
But...
[chuckles] Ew.
[Jenna] Stuffing.
Why? Am I doing it wrong?
This is what Cathy told me to do.
Stuff it in the skin.
As much as you can.
So I'm not really sure.
I think you just add some butter.
All right, Jenny.
We're gonna put him in the oven.
Okay.
[grunts]
All done.
[applauding] Yay!
Okay. Ready? Let's FaceTime Dalanie.
[line ringing]
-[Dalanie] Hello? -[Jenna] Good morning.
[Dalanie] Hi!
[Jenna] What are you doing?
Um...
[Jenna] Wait, did you?
Honestly, I feel like... I mean, I have a baby,
and my life's a little more serious right now than Dalanie's.
Thank God, it's not me. I'm... God bless.
-[chuckles] -[Dalanie] I'm not ready for that.
You're just much better.
-I got it in the bag. -Yeah, for sure.
She is the best mom ever.
-Yeah. -[Jenna] Thank you.
But I do not want another baby right now.
I don't know.
And like, what would I do
if I had two baby daddies in two different states?
My God, it sounds like a damn mess.
Look. That's a frigging turkey.
[Dalanie speaking]
[Jenna] I think so.
[Dalanie speaking]
[chuckling] I did.
[Dalanie speaking]
Um, yeah, the penis looking thing?
-[Dalanie speaking] -[Jenna] Yeah, look.
[Dalanie speaking]
[laughing]
[chuckling] I know.
It may not actually be a penis.
I just hope I don't poison people today.
Andrea and JJ are coming today.
-[Dalanie speaking] -[Jenna] Yeah.
[Dalanie speaking]
-She's never met my dad or Cathy. -[Luca] No.
[Jenna] I'm just a little nervous. I don't know.
What are they gonna talk about?
[Jenna chuckles]
I'm sure, Dalanie.
[both laughing]
Andrea is very nice. She's such a good listener.
And I feel Andrea is just, like,
a good person.
She's there to support you, but not get into your business in an annoying way.
But my dad is just super awkward, and like...
I think the whole thing could really just blow up in my face.
[Mandy] It's like a slop in here.
[Kayleigh] Oh. Some went in the water, my bad.
They'll still eat it.
[Mandy] Have you heard from Graham's mom?
Is she gonna assist with the baby shower?
[Kayleigh] She might.
Okay.
My baby shower is coming up next week, and I'm so excited.
And I want Graham to be there.
But Graham's mom, Bekki, has not asked anything about the baby shower.
She's only asked what day it was.
Honestly, I mean, in the first three years of them dating,
I never really talked to Bekki,
except for a couple of times on the phone.
Like, when I dropped them off, I was like,
"This is my phone number. If you need me, let me know."
And I know that sounds terrible,
because three years, I'm dropping my daughter off
at a house that I've never even stepped foot in.
And that was a mistake.
I don't really know.
So, where did you do it at? [grunts uncomfortably]
I mean, did you do it in our house?
-No. -Okay.
So, the only time you ever did it was at their house?
Okay.
Was it easier there or something?
-[laughs] Just stop. -[chuckles]
Just curious. I mean...
Was you left alone more?
-Girl. -Girl. Okay.

[music ends with crescendo]
Yeah?
Why do you not listen to me when I holler for you?
I had my headset in, so I didn't hear you. [chuckles]
When I call your name, that means come down.
My name is Bekki. I'm 42.
I'm Graham's mother and about to be a grandmother.
The day I found out that Kayleigh was pregnant
and Graham was gonna be a father...
I went to sleep.
When I woke up, I looked on my phone.
I had several text messages, several missed calls.
Um, and they were from Mandy.
So, I called her, and she's like...
"Kayleigh, uh, is," you know, "pregnant."
And I'm like, "Huh?"
I could not process it in my mind.
I didn't know what to do.
Um, Mandy was bawling and I remember I'm repeating myself,
saying, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
I just felt like
it was my fault that all this happened,
because I believe that they were having sex in my house.
I would be gone, and then I would come home and Kayleigh would be there.
So, they could have been alone for an hour.
They could've been alone for two hours.
And an hour or two hours, there's a lot of things you could do during that time.
The food is here. Are you hungry?
-[Graham] Yeah. -[Bekki] Good.
I know you haven't been eating a lot here lately.
How are you feeling today?
Feeling better than most days.
Just some days, I just get rocky a little bit.
After Graham figured out that he was gonna be a dad,
I could tell he was stressed out a lot,
but I didn't think it'd, like, impact,
like his weight and everything, and like his health.
[chuckles] Bro, what the crap?
I lost 15 pounds in, like, a month, almost.
And then, just been going down from there.
Teach me your diet. [chuckles] I'm joking. I'm joking.
I kind of miss the dad bod. [chuckles]
So, how's Graham been feeling lately?
[Kayleigh] Well, this morning, he was acting like
he was getting a tummyache again.
He was like, "I'll pull through.
I'll get it together before the baby shower."
I feel like Graham does use a lot of excuses to get out of stuff.
He's already missed setting up for my gender reveal.
He also didn't show up to, like, doctor's appointments,
or even celebrate my birthday with me.
Where are you? Are you coming?
[Graham] No, I'm sick.
I gotta go to the doctor.
I can't help it.
[Kayleigh] I just feel like no one's sick that much.
But he better not ruin this shower for Easton
like he ruined my birthday party.
[Bekki] So, like, what's coming up this week?
[Graham] I got school.
I got Kayleigh's baby shower this weekend,
and then today, I don't have to work.
[Bekki] Okay. Um, you know, I know you got
um, some more doctor's appointments coming up.
So, that's gonna be some time out of school.
And you've already got two unexcused absences.
How many absences do I get until I get,
like, in trouble with truancy and stuff like that?
[Bekki] Well, you've already got a truancy letter.
We got... I got it in the mail the other day.
I thought I was just a failure to everybody.
I thought I'd, like, let my family down,
'cause I was so young having a kid.
It's just stressful.
I worry about school and my grades.
Quit football, and I got a job to provide for my son.
And I've been playing football ever since I was eight.
I think Graham has made a lot of sacrifices, um, to be a dad.
I feel, you know, very proud of him.
But I don't know if Kayleigh always gives him
the credit for the sacrifices.
I don't think she really sees them like I do,
'cause they're not around each other, you know, as much.
Do you think they'll come decorate at least, or help be a part of it?
Well, I don't know.
We're gonna have to throw this together here pretty soon.
I mean, I'll ask, but we all know how that usually goes.
I do feel like, uh, Graham, needs to step up a little bit more
and, um,
kind of be there for his little family, now,
for Kayleigh and for Easton.
I also feel that,
as a parent of a young teenager,
Graham's mom should, you know, step up as well.
I just hope that Graham and his mom
are coming to help for the baby shower.
It's coming to support your kid and your grandson,
which I think you should pull together for.
[Lilly] 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.
[Ashley] Come on, come on, come on, let's go.
If I get to my baby shower
and everybody is gone,
I'm gonna be like, really mad.
♪ It's been a long ride But I'm up now ♪
♪ Can't miss, no I ain't giving up, no! ♪
-[LJ] Hurry up. -[Lilly] Hold on, buddy.
Mommy don't wanna burn you. Back up.
[LJ speaking]
-[Lawrence] Hey, my love. -Hey, babe.
-How you doing? -Good.
-How was your day? -All right. How was yours?
[Lawrence] Long day, you know.
[LJ crying, complaining indistinctly]
Okay, give her a minute, bud.
Daddy ain't been home for two minutes,
and y'all arguing already. Typical.
[Lilly] Dinnertime is like witching hour for my kids.
Once the clock hits 6:00 p.m., my kids are like,
"Let's burn this bitch to the ground.
Let's destroy everything,
and put Mommy in an early grave."
And Christmas is coming,
which makes everything worse.
Like, they just get overstimulated
with them being so excited for Santa.
[Lawrence] What's the vibes for Christmas, Lil?
[Lilly] Well, um, I bought stuff
to make a nice, big breakfast for all of us.
[LJ speaking]
[Lilly] Um...
[LJ speaking]
[Lilly] And then, you know...
-[LJ speaking] -[Lilly] I love you, too.
I love you, too.
And then, I figured we're gonna have Christmas lunch.
So, what do you think about Christmas Day,
we should tell everyone that we're, you know,
really actually moving ahead with wedding planning?
Mmm-hmm. That's a good idea.
Yeah, everybody will be here, and they get the info in person.
I can hear Sandy scream now.
[screams]
[mimicking] "My baby gettin' married."
What y'all want, boy?
[Lilly] And you know my mom. I don't think she's gonna be happy.
You know, she just hates marriage.
Our current relationship status is still engaged.
We've been holding off to save money
so we can have a kick ass wedding. We don't want no cheap...
[bleep]
But we're getting married in three months
because the wedding venue of our dreams had a sudden opening.
So, I'm gonna take it.
But I'm nervous to tell my mom,
because even when we were scouting the wedding venue,
she was still trying to talk me out of it.
All in all, you're looking at a budget of about $15,000.
-[Lawrence] $15,000? -[man] Mmm-hmm.
You're feeling like this is absolutely certain,
that Lawrence is...
-And you are going to work out forever. -[Lilly] Yeah!
[Kim] Marriage is a serious, serious thing.
They're already together,
-they're already living together. -Yeah.
[Sandy] So, what can anybody say?
My mom and Glenn have been engaged since, I think, 2009.
But my mom and my biological dad
have still been married all these years,
even though they've been separated for, like, 20 years.
It's just been too expensive for them to get divorced.
I think that's a big part
of why she's so against marriage in the first place.
But regardless of what she thinks,
I still wanna marry Lawrence.
So, the deposit's due and, um, we have to start planning.
But with the holidays, it is becoming a little stressful.
[Lawrence] A little stressful?
It's not that I don't wanna get married.
It's just, three months is a very short time
to come up with the money we need.
I believe we need to save at least, like, $20,000--
-Thirty. -Something like that.
-At least like 20. -Thirty.
-More so 20. -Thirty.
-Maybe 20. -Thirty-five.
How much did you spend on Christmas?
I didn't spend that much. I really didn't spend that much.
-What is "not that much"? -Just... Enough.
I spent enough, and we're good.
Christmas is gonna be nice.
[Lawrence] Christmas is gonna be nice or expensive?
Christmas is my favorite holiday
and my favorite time of the year,
and I like to celebrate it.
And, you know, I like to go all out for my kids
if I'm able to do it.
And while I'm still on God's green Earth, able to spoil my kids.
I'm gonna spoil my kids 'cause that's what I like to do.
I'm worried about Lilly's overspending on Christmas.
Money really doesn't matter when it comes to Christmas.
Christmas is a magical time.
Money matters.
It's either money is gonna grow on trees
or you gotta pull the money out your ass or something, I don't know.
I don't know where all this money coming from.
I'll pull it out my ass.

[line ringing]
[boy] Ma.
[Ashley] What is it?
[boy speaking]
[Ashley speaking]
-Don't forget the, um, computer on-- -[Ashley] Huh?
Don't forget the computer on the bed.
[Ashley speaking]
Okay.
So, today is the day of my baby shower,
and Aniyis is still in my belly
healthy, fighting, kicking.
After I went to the doctor a couple of days ago because I wasn't feeling good,
I was a little worried that they were gonna keep me and induce me,
because of how high my blood pressure was.
Dak, are you sleeping?
You're always sleeping.
The doctors told me that they're not going to keep me
and induce me right now.
But if my blood pressure goes up again, then they will.
And I went home.
So, all of that is great,
but what's not great is that my mom is supposed to be
picking me up from my grandma's house,
so we can go to the baby shower.
But she still isn't here, which isn't really surprising.
But it's not helping, like, my stress level or my blood pressure,
because we were supposed to be at my baby shower, like, an hour ago.
At what time y'all supposed to start?
[Aniyah] It was supposed to start at 3:00.
[Trey] Is everybody already there?
My mama not there.
[Jade speaking]
[Aniyah] She's at home, getting dressed.
-Yeah. -[Jade speaking]
Y'all weren't on time anyway.
[Jade] Well, I was waiting for y'all, but...
[Trey] I wasn't planning on being on time,
nor was I planning to stay the whole time.
-[Aniyah chuckles] -So...
-[Aniyah] Oh, my God. -I'm going according as planned.
[Aniyah] I wanted to be on time, I planned to be on time.
But, in my family, big things like this never go as planned.
There's always something.
[Ashley speaking]
Come on, come on, come on. Let's go. Y'all gotta get upstairs. Come on.
Come on, come on.
My mom finally gets here and she was all over the place.
This is probably gonna be a whole other hour
for her to get herself ready, and my brothers ready.
It's typical. That's what we go through every day.
Anytime we're going somewhere
it's always everybody running like a chicken with their head cut off.
I'm just really trying to breathe and just stay calm.
[Latoya speaking]
There's forks and plates over there to the left.
[Wanda speaking]
...we don't play this.
Yeah, we're normally punctual. We're normally...
If we are late, it's gonna be maybe 30 minutes.
It's not gonna be hours and hours and hours.
[phone ringing]
Everyone's calling me. Like, okay.
Hi.
[Latoya over phone]
-Um, we're trying to figure that out now. -[Latoya] Okay.
Um, I guess my mom. I don't know.
-[Latoya] Oh. -I don't know. I don't know. [laughs]
[Latoya speaking]
-Okay. -I'll see you when I get there.
-[Latoya speaking] -Bye.
It seemed like DaeDae's mom was, like, a little annoyed.
But, like, I thought my mom would have communicated with DaeDae's mom.
I don't feel like anyone should be asking me anything
about the baby shower, because I don't know.
Like, I'm just showing up. Like, everyone else should know everything.
They shouldn't ask me.
DaeDae's mom said, "Are you doing games?"
She said she... [chuckles]
She said she don't know.
Let me tell you something. Come here.
-Can you stop? I'm not-- -I gotta finish getting dressed.
Come here.
Can you stop?
I put my time, money and energy
into this baby shower, so nobody's gonna be telling me anything
that needs to be done
outside of what I want done.
[Aniyah] If I get to my baby shower
and everybody is gone,
it's gonna be a very big problem.
A very big problem.
What time are JJ and Andrea coming over?
Um, I think a little bit later.
Is she excited to meet us?
I don't want to make them cry
'cause it's scary.
[laughs] You don't have no idea what I'm talking about.
Every day. Every day I am talking to him about something that's upsetting me
and all he does is...
It irritates me so much!

-[Nate] Hello. -[girl] Hi!
-How are you? -[Nate] Good.
All right, for sure.
Today is Emalee's 39-week appointment
and she decided there wasn't really a reason for me to go
just because it was a little check-up.
But since Westley can be born any day now,
and, um, this could be our last chance to go do something on our own,
we decided that we would go get ice cream after her appointment.
-Hey. -[Emalee] It's so cold.
[Nate chuckling] How was it?
You're bad.
Most of the time, I'm fine with Nate not being at my appointments.
But I still wish he was there today because I did get pretty upset.
Today, they told me I have no progress being made as far as having the baby.
I'm hoping that the ice cream will help me not think about
the giant metal clamp that was shoved up my cooter-cat.
[Nate] Oh, man.
[Emalee speaking]
Mmm-hmm.
-Guess what she told me. -Hmm?
When Emalee told me that having sex can induce labor, I got all happy and excited,
and I thought it was like the best day ever.
They'll put their wieners in holes any time of the day.
[both laughing]
And I was like, "Why would I ever want to do that?
Because that's why I'm here in the first place."
Yeah.
And then she felt for his head and his head is down where it's supposed to be.
And then she checked to see if I dilated any more, but I didn't.
Well, your cervix is just supposed to dilate when you get this far.
Mmm-hmm.
You start off at a one, which is the size of, like, a Cheerio.
Mmm-hmm.
And then a ten is, like, the opening of a Clorox wipe bottle.
That's a ten.
You don't have no idea what I'm talking about.
It's fine.
-No, it's not. -Why not?
Because you need to be educated.
In moments like these,
that's when I remind myself, like, he really is a 16-year-old boy.
Unfortunately... [chuckles]
a lot of the time, it feels like I have to take on
the role of mothering him, I guess.
Well, because it's, like, hard to breathe.
[Emalee laughing]
My point proven.
Shh. Stop talking.
...I don't like when they check my cervix 'cause it's scary.
Mmm-hmm.
Your nose ring is like...
-Then fix it. -No, it's not, like...
-Stop! -It's just like, there's like...
Use your big boy words, Nate.
I'm trying. So you know where, like, you can open it...
It connects. It's not connected, right?
-Yeah. -Oh.
It's really making me mad.
That's what you're focused about,
when I'm telling you about my panic attacks?
It was after your panic attack.
Every day. Every day I'm talking to him about something
that's upsetting me, and all he does is...
Like...
Why are you doing that?
Because it irritates me so much.
Well, I don't like being yelled at all the time.
-You're not being yelled at all the time. -Yeah, I am.
You sound like a poor little...
[Emalee laughing]
Oh, my goodness.
What?
Because, it's... You're the one that's making fun of me.
I'm not even making fun of you.
You're literally just laughing at me. Were you not?
I'm laughing with you.
I wasn't laughing.
I was laughing for you.
Cool.
Are you ready?
I'm tired of her calling me immature, when I've stepped up the best I can.
Okay, do you want this or not?
No?
I do think it's kind of unfair because I love her.
But I feel like the work that I do for Emalee just gets overlooked
and I'm worried that when the baby comes, things will get harder and worse for us.
And we might not make it.

-Hello? -Hi.

Happy Thanksgiving.
[Jenna] I'm just peeling some potatoes.
Happy Thanksgiving.
[Jenna] Hello. Happy Thanksgiving.
Where's Luca?
-He's playing. -Oh, okay.
It's only been a couple weeks
since I helped move Jenna to Myrtle,
but when she invited us to come back for the holiday, we jumped at the chance.
Right.
And hopefully we can make it through without annoying each other.
[Cathy chuckles]
-Have a hug? -Yes.
-I love you. -I love you, too.
I got you a thermometer.
-Oh, okay. -I don't know if you have one for the turkey or not.
Um, you wanna look at this turkey real quick?
-[Cathy] Sure. -I think I did it.
-[Jenna] That's... -[Cathy] No, that's good.
-[Jenna] Is it? -[Cathy] Yeah.
Seriously, it took me...
I didn't do my first turkey until, like, a couple of years ago.
And I had your mom come and help me because I had no clue.
What time are JJ and Andrea coming over?
[Jenna] Um, I think a little bit later.
A couple hours.
[Matt] I'm excited to see JJ again.
We really didn't get a lot of opportunities to talk very much.
I noticed everything that Jenna had told me did seem to check out.
He's a very respectful kid.
But we barely talked about anything during my last visit.
Particularly about JJ's intentions with Jenna, but also Luca.
It'll be nice to finally get to meet his mom.
Yeah.
She got Luca a bunch of toys and stuff for her house.
-[Matt] Really? -[Cathy] Well, that's nice.
Yeah.
Is she excited to meet us?
[Jenna] I think so.
-[Matt] So, did you-- -Look, you're bothering me.
-I'm sorry. -You made me drop it.
-You want me to shut up? -[Jenna] Yeah.
I really want my dad to make a good first impression with Andrea,
but he can really be an A-hole.
So I hope that he doesn't act that way in front of Andrea and JJ.
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.

[woman] You already ate?
No, my food is cold, sitting there, you know?
[Latoya speaking]
[Dakwon] Got things to do.
Aniyah was a couple hours late to our baby shower.
So me and my mom had to play host.
Hi, hello, guys.
Nice to meet y'all.
Aniyah takes a long time to get ready, and she knows it.
So I know there's gonna be a big entrance
'cause she likes to be the center of attention.

Ooh.
I'm finally at my baby shower.
I'm just hoping it looks good,
and I would just hate for people to have already left.
Hey.
Hey, guys! Oh, my gosh, everyone.
[woman] Hey.
I wasn't supposed to be this late.
Thank you.
[woman 1] You look cute.
-[woman 2 speaking] -Thank you, girl.
[woman 2 speaking]
Don't, don't do all of that.
Don't do all of that.
Hey, y'all! I gotta go say hey to my other friends.
People was giving me, like, attitude, kind of, because I was late.
But I was just like, "That wasn't my fault."
Oh, it's cute in here!
But I don't even care.
I appreciate for DaeDae staying and helping out
and holding it down until my mom came and got me.
And when I got there, it just looked amazing.
Like, there's snow all over the stage.
There's a big old picture of me and DaeDae on the floor.
Our Christmas tree just looks... [kisses]
chef's kiss, like,
everything was just amazing.
[Ashley speaking]
Go ahead.
All right. Come on, sit down.
When it comes to my mom, it's really like her way or no way.
And I'm not about to argue with her
when she put the whole baby shower together.
Okay, she got the whole set going on.
[Ashley] There's too more stuff to open.
We need to start trying to figure out whose car all this stuff is going in.
It's a blessing to have received everything
that she received at the baby shower.
So now my concern is where is she going to put all this stuff?
Thank you.
She got me a neck rest for my baby.
I don't got nothing to do with none of that,
as long as it's in her room, so she can put it on the wall, in the corner,
in the closet, under the bed, on top of the bed, in the drawer.
I don't... Long as it's in her room.
DaeDae, he'll help, too.
He's probably gonna want to help
'cause he want to take some of the stuff with him.
[shrieks]
[Ashley] Yeah, my car full of people.
And I got Christmas gifts in the trunk.
Ain't nothing going in my car.
I was expecting to play some games, and a little bit more interaction.
I don't think that there was communication.
So, um, we found out today that there were no festivities.
Aw, thank you.
[Latoya] We're still getting to know each other.
Of course, they were girlfriend and boyfriend,
but we thought that was it.
-Obviously, it wasn't. -[Wanda chuckles]
Um, so it was a shock for me because, like, I put a lot of time,
a lot of my time, a lot of my money into him playing basketball.
But he just kind of went cold turkey with it.
I think if he wasn't having a baby right now,
that's what he would be doing.
And he would just be living his life as a 17-year-old.
So after the baby come, are you gonna still be
doing everything for Aniyah, or are you gonna let her like,
grow up and take on full responsibility of the baby,
or are you gonna do it every step of the way?
That's her baby.
[Latoya] That's her baby.
That ain't got nothing to do with me.
When I see my mom talking to DaeDae's mom,
I'm thinking, "This can't be good."
[Ashley] She's absolutely correct.
For the most part, I don't like people.
My relationship with Dakwon's mom,
is a relationship of her son and my daughter.
You know, we've had a couple conversations,
regarding our kids, regarding our grandson, and that's the end of that.
We in agreeance that's their kid--
No, but, I mean, if she is doing anything
that she don't need to be doing,
then I guess it'll become my baby because it's gonna be what I say
and it's no option because it's wrong,
whatever it is that she might be doing that I don't agree with.
So they're going to need a little bit of guidance, but...
Once we feel comfortable as grandparents to letting them be a parent--
I don't know about that too much.
[Latoya] Okay, Auntie.
My mom doesn't like people in our business,
so she's not gonna, like, justify the way that Aniyis is raised.
[Ashley] I can be a people person what I want to be.
But DaeDae's mom is being really irritating.
[Aniyah chuckles]
-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 have ever pictured him at 19
being with someone that already had a child.
[Andrea] JJ, what does a promise ring mean?
[JJ] I mean, hold on.
♪ I'm the kinda chick That does it On her own, yeah ♪
♪ Oh, I'm that girl ♪
-♪ I'm that girl, yeah ♪ -[knocking at door]
-♪ Oh, I'm that girl ♪ - [Luca] Uh-oh!
[Jenna gasps] What, Tootie, who is it?
[Jenna gasps]
-[Jenna] Who is it? -Hi, buddy!
How are you?
-[Jenna] Hello, Happy Thanksgiving. -[Andrea] You too.
[whispering] Chocolate. Two bars.
This is my dad and Cathy.
-Hi. -Hi. Nice to meet you.
-I'm Andrea.
-Matt. Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
We've just heard so many good things about Andrea.
I understand that Jenna and Andrea have a very good relationship.
Right.
And it's nice that she has, like, that motherly figure
so close that she can talk to, so we're just really excited to get to know her.
And I'm planning to talk to her and JJ both about the promise ring.
-[Jenna] Hi. -Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving.
-[Luca speaking] -Hey, bro.
How are you?
[Luca speaking]
[Jenna chuckles]
[Luca exclaims]
Happy Thanksgiving.
So how was your trip down?
[Cathy] Good.
I'm Andrea and I'm JJ's mom.
Jenna invited me to come along with JJ
to her place for Thanksgiving because she wants me to meet her dad and Cathy.
I am excited.
Wait. I got to start over because I don't want to say I'm excited
because I'm not, like, I didn't really care either way.
I'm not being mean, but I wasn't, like, I could've took it or leave it.
-No, they're not. -Yes, they are.
[Luca crying]
This is gonna be a mess.
Come on. Hey, Let me see.
I like Jenna, but she has a two-year-old, and he has sticky fingers,
and he loves to eat and run around and touch everything.
And I don't want to sound like I'm mean.
I have raised my kids.
I pretty much do what I want when I want.
I don't want grandkids.
It doesn't interest me.
Grandkids would mess up my house too much.
Are you coming over here?
Yeah.
[Jenna speaking]
-No! -Okay.
[Andrea] What's wrong with him?
He wants me to sit.
[Matt laughing] He probably wants you to sit down.
Here's the other thing. I like good kids.
I don't like being around bad kids that are screaming and throwing tantrums
and acting crazy the way Luca does sometimes.
That gets on my nerves.
It's just nice knowing that Jenna has such a good support system down here,
like, knowing that she can come talk to you
because she obviously feels very comfortable with you.
And it's just really important because it makes me feel comfortable
when she's 500 miles away.
[Cathy and Andrea] Right.
It's nice to finally put a face with all the stories that Jenna tells me.
Matt, he seems like a dad that's more involved
in his daughter's life than most dads are.
I really can't say anything about Cathy because I barely know her.
[Luca whining]
[Jenna] I'm gonna take him into the room.
Come on, babe. You coming?
One of the biggest things that give us comfort is how close her and JJ are,
and the way JJ is with them.
[Andrea] And, of course, you know, JJ has told me
he's not trying to take the place of anyone.
You know, he knows Luca has a dad.
-[Cathy] Right, yeah. -[Andrea] You know?
He's just in his life a little bit.
-You know, be an added bonus. -[Cathy] Exactly. Right.
[Cathy] Exactly.
I think JJ is doing a great job helping Jenna.
I don't know that I would have ever pictured him at 19
being with someone that already had a child.
You gonna lay down?
[Jenna] Don't give him the option.
I definitely didn't see myself in a father figure role at 19,
but it makes me feel really good
that I have that type of impact on this little boy's life.
Come on, Tootie.
Come on, I'm laying down with you.
There definitely is times where I'm with Luca and I feel like he's my son.
But then again, I can't really consistently think like that,
because then it's upsetting whenever it's brought up
that that's not how it actually is.
[Matt] What do you know about that promise ring
that JJ, like, what does that even mean?
-I have no idea. -I had never heard of a promise ring before.
I asked Jenna, "What's he promising you?"
They wouldn't, she's like, "It's just a promise ring."
I don't know anything about it.
[Matt chuckles] Oh.
-I don't. -[Cathy chuckles]
I'm really caught off guard by Matt's question,
because this was the first time I ever heard of a promise ring.
I know he's purchased another girlfriend
jewelry and rings and items like that.
I don't know that, in private,
it was said to her, "This is a promise ring."
I don't know that answer.
But I don't think that a promise ring
was really anything, like, crazy significant.
It was just a nice gesture that say that they were boyfriend and girlfriend.
He doesn't want to take a nap.
JJ, what does a promise ring mean?
[Matt stammering] Like, what is it a promise for?
Like, a promise to what?
I mean, hold on. I guess...
Kind of how I looked at it is that every single time
that me and Jenna have tried to make things work,
something's gotten in our way, like me moving.
So I looked at it this time as like, "She's here. We're both adults.
The only thing that's stopping us now is each other."
[Matt] Who is this kid?
I'm almost wondering myself, like, "Wait a minute."
I asked JJ what the promise ring meant, and I'm glad that it's not an engagement ring.
From my understanding, it's just him saying...
[Cathy] He's gonna make an effort.
He's gonna make one heck of an effort to make it work and Jenna's important to him.
He seems like a great guy, and Andrea was nice.
-[Matt] Andrea seems amazing. - [Cathy] Yeah.
You can see where JJ gets his personality from.
They're very nice people.
-[JJ speaking] -[Andrea] You are?
[knife whirring]
What do you mean? I talk from the heart.
How come I never know about that?
I definitely see Jenna as my wife someday.
I have no timeframe.
But if things keep going the way that they are, I definitely see very soon.
And then I think Luca needs a brother or sister.
[Andrea grunts]
Maybe when he's, like, ten.
When he's, like, ten.
Me and Jenna are not using protection.
We've never... Since the first time she came down here,
we haven't.
Don't say that.
It's 100% true.
Oh, my God, JJ. That's terrible.
[Kayleigh] Next time on Unexpected...
I really wish that Graham's mom could have came and been part of this.
My baby shower is tomorrow.
I think Graham is just trying to make an excuse
because his mom didn't want to come.
What kind of [bleep] is that?
I don't think Bekki's showing that she's wanting to be a part of,
not only just Easton's life, but your life as well.
-[Lilly] Merry Christmas. -[Kim] Merry Christmas.
My name is Brett. I'm Lilly's dad.
I've missed out on a lot and I can't ever go backwards and get that back.
It's tough. I'm having a little bit of a tough time.
My stomach hurts, and my head hurts.
[woman speaking]
[Aniyah] I'm nervous because I don't feel good.
So it's really worrying me about my baby.
