- Hey, my name is Leah.
I'm 17 years old
and I live in the
mountains of West Virginia
in a small town called Elkview.
My house is pretty crowded.
There's my brother, sister and my mom.
My dad left when I was little,
so I really don't know him.
Me and my mom are really close.
She spoils me rotten
'cause I'm her first born.
This is Corey.
He drove me home from a party one night,
and one thing led to another.
Corey is two years older than me,
but I'm definitely more mature.
Why don't you listen to me?
We just started dating,
and we're still getting
to know each other.
I don't know if we're gonna make it,
but we're trying to stay
together and work it out because,
light it.
- I lit it, it's lighted.
- [Group] It's lighted?
- I'm pregnant with twins.
Me and Corey's relationship
got set on the fast track,
that's for sure.
Corey was just supposed
to be a rebound for me
'cause when we met,
I just got out of a three
year long relationship.
- Most of the time when you
think oh, if I get pregnant
I'll have a kid and that'll be all right.
You never think you'll have two kids.
- Yeah, I know.
- Two kids will be twice the expense,
so I flip out about that.
- [Leah] Twice the amount of diapers.
- Twice of everything.
- Everything.
Even though I'm not
due for six more weeks,
the doctor said it was normal
for twins to be born early.
Corey came out as soon as I called him.
Even though we've been fighting a lot,
I'm really glad to see him.
I have to have an emergency C-section
because the bottom baby is breeched.
- I love you, baby.
- I love you, too.
It'll be okay, promise, pinky promise.
- Promise me.
You'd better be.
- [Leah] They prepped me for
surgery and Corey put on scrubs
and stayed with me the whole time.
(soft music)
Aliannah was born first,
and one minute later, Aleeah arrived.
(upbeat music)
- There's Corey.
- Since the twins are six weeks early,
the doctors took them
straight to intensive care.
I was still in surgery and
wasn't even able to hold them.
They're perfectly healthy,
but they were so small,
they had to have tubes to
give them food and oxygen.
After I recovered from surgery,
I went to intensive care to visit them.
(baby crying)
You're doing fine, honey.
(crickets chirping)
I want to hold it.
- [Corey] Hold on, hold on.
- It's not ready to reel in.
- [Corey] Reel that in.
(both laughing)
- No (beep).
Are you serious?
- Yeah.
- Will you marry me?
- Yeah, you look so funny.
You look like a little kid.
- [Corey] You look like a little kid, too.
- No way.
- I, Leah.
- I, Leah.
- Take you Corey.
- Take you Corey.
- [Officiant] To be my wedded husband.
- To be my wedded husband.
- [Officiant] To have and to hold.
- To have and to hold.
- [Officiant] From this day forward.
- From this day forward.
- For better or for worse.
- For better or for worse.
- [Pastor] For richer or for poorer.
- For whicher (laughing)
for richer or for poorer.
- [Officiant] In sickness and in health.
- In sickness and in health.
- [Officiant] I will love.
- I will love.
- And cherish.
- And cherish.
- [Officiant] 'Til death do us part.
- 'Til death do us part.
- And now as Corey and Leah
have been joined together
eternally before God
and you, this company, I now
pronounce you husband and wife.
You may kiss your bride.
- So I heard a rumor the other day.
- What?
- That you had sex with Robbie
right before our wedding.
Is it true?
(Leah grunting)
What's that mean?
- Um, I cheated on you.
We were just fighting really bad
and you weren't being affectionate at all.
- A week before our wedding
we was fighting real bad?
That bad to screw somebody?
- No.
- I don't understand how you
could go through with that.
Was your ring on your finger?
Did you take it off for that?
- It was on there.
- Did you not look at
it, not think about it?
Think about me, hmm?
- Yeah, I did.
- Then why'd you do it?
- Because I was drunk and
I didn't think about it.
- I don't care how (beep) drunk you are.
There's something in your
head called common sense,
just knowing better.
- This is your petition for divorce.
Irreconcilable differences have arisen
between the two of you
which make the marriage unresolvable.
This is saying that you
be awarded a divorce,
and then it says here
that you'll have all the
time with the children,
except what's listed in his section.
You're sure this is what you want to do?
- I mean, I don't know what to do,
he doesn't want to be with me.
- So I think the key right
now is to go ahead and file.
You want to be the one
who's driving the bus.
Otherwise, you're the
passenger on the bus.
We have to protect you, and
that's what we're here to do.
- School starts next week
and I'm really excited.
I've also been talking to this new guy,
Jeremy, on Facebook a lot.
Oh my God.
Hey.
- You ready?
- Yeah.
Where are we going?
- Probably to Grand Prix,
ride some go-karts.
- Oh my God, okay.
(upbeat music)
Who was gonna win again?
Did you already know that I had twins?
- Yeah, I seen 'em on your Facebook.
- Really, they're cute, right?
- Yeah, they look a lot like their mama.
- Yes, and their dad's Corey.
How well do you know him?
- I met him after y'all got divorced.
We ate at Quaker Steak
one time, that's about it.
- Does me being divorced
or having kids bother you?
- No, not really at all.
If it was, I wouldn't have
asked you to come out.
So, what do you think about us so far?
- I think it's going really well.
What do you think?
- I think it's time to make it official.
Will you just go out with me?
- Of course I will go out with you.
- All right, good.
- Ahh, I can't believe I have a boyfriend.
- Really?
- It's weird.
I went from being married
to having a boyfriend.
- Wake up.
- Did you make me breakfast?
How long have you been up?
Look at the flowers.
Am I supposed to read this?
(upbeat music)
- Will you marry me?
- Yes, I will.
- [Officiant] I, Leah.
- I, Leah.
- Take thee, Jeremy.
- Take thee, Jeremy.
- [Officiant] To be my wedded husband.
- To be my wedded husband.
- [Officiant] 'Til death do us part.
- 'Til death do us part.
- [Officiant] By the power vested in me,
I now pronounce you, Jeremy
and you, Leah husband and wife.
You may kiss your bride.
- [Leah] Today is Ali's muscle biopsy
and she has to be sedated.
I'm glad this is her last test,
'cause I don't know how much
more Corey and I can take.
- Are you ready?
(soft music)
- I have her Versed,
that medicine that's gonna help her relax
and decrease the anxiety of separating.
We're gonna take this really quick,
and then I have some water for you, okay?
- Hurry up, or we're gonna
have to hold you down.
- I'll hold her.
(Ali crying)
- It's okay, look, look.
- No (crying).
- [Leah] Swallow it, that's all of it.
- They're looking at the chart outside,
go ahead and put your bunny suit on.
- Look at her and we'll laugh at her.
- Don't you laugh at mommy.
- What's she doing?
- She's putting funny shoes on.
- Do I look funny?
Hi, Ali.
- Hello, you can follow us.
I'm gonna have you put on a mask.
- [Nurse] This is the mask,
we'll put our smelling good stuff
and a little bit of giggly gas, okay?
Want to give her a kiss on the cheek?
- [Leah] Yeah.
I love you.
- [Nurse] I'll just walk you
back to the waiting room, okay?
- I said I love you and she looked and me
and she smiled real big.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- So, we're all done.
- Did it seem like there was
a good bit of muscle there?
- There was.
Normally it looks kind of red and beefy,
I guess for lack of better terms.
It was a little bit more pale.
Hard to know exactly what that means.
- But we'll find out.
- Exactly.
Technically, everything went.
- With the surgery went well.
- [Doctor] Technically it went well,
it closed up well, all right?
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- What are you doing?
- Ali.
It's okay.
- You want your mommy?
It's okay, it's okay.
- You're okay.
It's okay.
Come here, come here.
Mommy's right here.
- Hi, guys.
My name's Amanda, I'm one of
the discharge nurses today.
How you feeling, sweetie?
It's looking good.
They were able to numb this area too,
so she's probably not gonna be
able to feel this whole area
for a little while.
- Is it okay if her
grandparents come back here?
- Absolutely, we'll let them know.
- [Leah] She's conked out asleep.
- I love you.
- I love you.
- Huh?
- I love you.
- [Leah] It's never been easy
for me to raise twin girls.
(Ali screaming)
- Stop!
But after Jeremy and I got married,
we wanted to have a child together,
and we had a girl named Adalynn Faith.
It hasn't been easy having three kids,
but we're trying to make it work.
Corey has moved on, too.
He met a girl named Miranda
and they're getting married this weekend.
- God job, Aleeah.
- We finally went to a specialist
for Ali's medical issues,
and after a lot of painful tests,
the doctors think she has a
rare form of muscular dystrophy,
and even though she's walking now,
they expect her condition to get worse.
We had to go back to Columbus
for them to tell us
what her diagnosis was.
They explained to me that
it was muscular dystrophy.
It deteriorates the muscles.
I felt like someone kicked me
right in the freakin' throat.
The disorder affects
her respiratory system.
It progresses the older she gets.
- What do they say about her doing things?
- They said the bigger she
gets, the more weight she gains,
it's gonna be harder for her
muscles to carry the weight.
No matter what, she'll be
smart, I'll take care of her,
and I will make her as
independent as I can
so that way she can be
happy with her life.
- She's perfect.
- Exactly.
I wanted to go to counseling
to help with the struggle
when you're out of town,
and them giving us advice.
- You really think it's that
bad when I'm out of town?
- It's hard, it's hard.
- You make it sound like
our marriage is just (beep).
- How do I make it sound like that?
- I don't like other people
telling me what I need to do
in my marriage or my life.
- I'm taking Ali to
physical therapy today.
She's been practicing with a wheelchair,
but this is the first
time I'll see her use it,
and I haven't really talked to Jeremy
since he left for his job in New Mexico.
It's been really stressful,
especially since I've been taking care
of three kids on my own.
- Look at that, though.
- Why are you not buckled up?
You know better than that, Aleeah Grace.
You know better.
- Okay, Ali, you ready to
show mommy how to climb up,
how you've been climbing up in the chair?
Go for it.
We've been working on
climbing in, turning around,
sitting down.
- Is it easier to go faster in your chair?
It is?
- What do we need?
Seatbelt, can you fasten it?
We're gonna practice inside for a minute,
and then we're gonna go
back out in the parking lot.
Okay, now everybody has
to watch their own toes.
All right, we're going down the hallway.
No running into doorways,
no running into people,
no running into sisters.
Wait a minute, you're not
going the right direction.
This is what happens when
you put three year olds
in mobility devices, they play.
Straight ahead, come on.
Ready, set, go.
Are you chasing Grace?
- Yeah!
- Go get her, go after her.
Go get her.
Oh no, now Ali's ahead.
Who's winning?
- Me.
- [Kim] Don't get your toes run over.
You've gotta keep your
toes out of the way, Grace.
- I'm winning.
- [Kim] You're winning?
- No, I am!
- This is one thing that the
chair will be an advantage for,
because she can't keep up with Grace.
- And she's happier,
I see it.
- From an energy level.
She's still gonna walk inside.
- And I think she'll want to.
- She'll still want to, but
this is just a better way
to conserve her energy
for the things that are really important.
- This is what I want, though.
I want her to feel free, and
I feel like she feels free.
You can't go too fast.
You can't go too fast.
(soft music)
(child crying)
I feel stupid.
- You just seem sad.
- Just because I want to be
loved by the person I love.
But I can't ever get down
because I have three kids that need me.
I can't get him to come home
and help me when he can.
- So you guys still see each other a lot?
- We see each other, I feel
like 12 hours every week,
have sex, go to sleep, then he leaves.
I don't want to give up on him.
I don't want to stop
believing in him or us.
I kind of hope it can be.
- You think it's just
gonna go on like this?
- I don't know, I don't
want to talk about it.
♪ I'll be your someone ♪
- It's so confusing.
It's my life.
He'll realize how much me and
Addie mean to him eventually.
I don't know what to do.
It's confusing and I just feel like
I'm in the middle of the ocean
and getting hit with
every current possible
and it's never gonna stop.
He hasn't really even said I love you
in two weeks, three weeks.
Jeremy's been threatening
to leave for a while,
but this morning he officially
served me with divorce papers.
I'm so upset, but I'm
trying to hold it together
for the girls.
- No, no, no.
- Kiss me.
- Gracie, stop please.
I'm gonna walk outside.
(Leah sobbing)
- [Leslie] What happened today?
- Mommy.
(cell phone ringing)
- Hold on a second.
Sorry, just give me a second.
I got the papers.
- [Amber] Oh my God, are you serious?
- Yeah.
- [Amber] You'd never
think in a million years
he'd do anyone like this,
especially.
- Someone he loves.
- [Amber] Did he have the
sheriff's office serve you,
or was it just in the mail?
- It was at a grocery store.
- [Amber] Oh my God, that
makes it even more awkward.
- I'm so, it's like when
is enough gonna be enough?
I get it.
- [Amber] That's horrible, I'm so sorry.
- I don't know.
- [Amber] You're taking it
a lot better than I would,
I'll tell you that.
I literally don't know how you do this.
- I am to my wit's end.
I don't even know what to do.
That's why I feel like I'm so,
I mean, for God's sakes,
I just went through one
crazy court hearing.
I can't do it.
I feel like it's gonna
push me over the edge.
(phone dialing)
- [Jeremy] Hello?
- Hey.
I just wanted to call you.
I know things have been,
we've had a lot of ups and downs recently
and I've just been
thinking about something
for a little while, and
I think I'm gonna go away
to a therapeutic treatment place,
kind of like a reset button for my life.
- [Jeremy] What's your
plan as far as Addie?
- I know you'll be working,
so I'm just gonna let Addie
stay with mom, if that's okay.
- [Jeremy] All right, that's fine.
You just gotta focus on you.
The kids, we'll take care of.
- Right, I know.
- [Jeremy] I'm proud of
you for taking that step.
I just want you healthy.
No matter where we're at as
far as marriage, this and that.
I just want you healthy.
- I may come back a
completely different person.
My mindset may be completely different.
- [Jeremy] Even if you get help, Leah,
I'm not changing my
mind about the divorce.
- Oh my God, why do you get like this?
I do not understand.
Jesus.
- Do you think that after
you go to this rehab
that you're going to be better,
you're gonna be able to deal with things?
- Oh, yeah.
I feel like me going there,
I'm gonna be able to be a better mom
and be the best mom that I can be.
- So, you are owning up to that
you haven't been able to be
the best person for your kids?
Are you owning up to that?
- I'm not gonna say I was a bad mom.
I deal with more than what you guys,
more than what you guys
think I do at home.
- We understand what you deal with.
We're saying is there
something that you take
to deal with that problem?
- No, where the drugs.
- Listen.
Can you look me and Miranda in the eyes
and tell us there is no drug problem?
- There isn't a drug problem.
- [Corey] There's no drug problem?
- There isn't a drug problem.
- I think I know that
there is a drug problem,
and I think that you're afraid to tell me.
- No, I swear to God there's not.
- The first step is admitting
that you have a problem,
other than beating around the bush
about a problem that you're making up
so that you can avoid your real problems.
- Shame on you.
- Shame on me, (beep).
- [Leah] No, shame on you.
- Shame on me, shame on you
for doing the (beep) you've done.
- Shame on you for doing
the (beep) you've done.
- As their father, I will
do what I have to do.
- And as their mother, I will
do what I have to do as well.
- That's fine, then start
being a mom, how about that?
- I'm not gonna lie to anybody,
I have no reason to lie.
I took the medication.
When I had the spinal tap with Addie,
they had me on morphine in
the hospital, did they not?
They had me on morphine.
I got out of the hospital,
I was prescribed hydrocodone
and Percocet and Tylenol 3,
and when I was hurting so
bad, I'd take the medication
because I could get up and go.
I could take care of my
kids, my back wasn't hurting.
I came to you guys and told you guys
I've got this medication.
I feel like I'm becoming dependent.
I can't take this medication.
- Right.
- Stopped taking the medication.
- But I told you that if I thought
you was some major addict
on drugs or something
I would call Corey myself.
- Exactly.
Some people, they don't
know how much crap I've hid
in the past four years,
and it's just drained the life out of me.
There was times I didn't
even, I just knew I was here,
but didn't know I was really here.
That's how I felt as a person inside.
The person I know I could
be and I will be again
is just crying for help inside me.
Sign these divorce papers
and be on my merry way.
Okay.
- Do you get all three of
'em, even the financial part?
- Love you, you gonna miss me?
I'm gonna miss you so much.
- I'm tired.
- Me, too.
Give me kisses.
- I'm going with you.
- Give me kisses.
I love you, you have fun at daddy's, okay?
Mommy's gonna be strong, I
need you to be strong, okay?
I'm gonna teach you
how to be strong, okay?
I'm going to, too.
(Ali crying)
Yeah, yeah, I love you.
You're okay, you're okay.
All right, I gotta go.
- Kiss me.
Love you.
- Bye, I love you.
I told you I'm coming back, okay?
- Come on.
♪ The truest love comes with patience ♪
♪ And waiting on the
one to hold them close ♪
♪ And hold them tight ♪
- I'm on my way home
from the treatment center
after 30 days of intensive therapy.
I feel a lot stronger,
and I can't wait to see the girls again.
- Look who that is.
- Mommy's baby.
Mama's home.
You're gonna go with mommy, come on.
- Want to go with mommy.
- You are going with mommy.
Give daddy lovings.
Thank you so much.
Really, thank you.
I was so excited to see her.
Say love you.
- Love you, daddy.
- [Leah] Love you, daddy.
I was feeling better after
I got back from treatment
for anxiety and depression,
but a few months ago,
Corey filed for full custody
of Ali and Aleeah again.
We went to court, but we're
still waiting on the verdict.
Since our divorce, Jeremy and
I have been getting along,
and he sees our daughter
Addie whenever he's in town,
which is usually on the weekends.
- I'll just pick up Addie Sunday night.
- That's fine.
- I just feel like you and me
are co-parenting pretty well.
- That's what matters most to me.
I got the girls back yesterday,
and today I'm having their party.
I asked Jeremy if he wanted to come,
but he has to go out of town for work.
I can't believe I'm seeing a six.
I feel like it was just yesterday
they had three on their balloon.
- Where do you want to go?
This one?
- Don't run off.
♪ Happy Birthday dear
Ali, Aleeah and Bailey ♪
♪ Happy Birthday to you ♪
Look at mommy.
- Did you miss me?
- I did.
Everything is chilling out.
Court's been crazy.
- You're going to court still?
- I wasn't just okay with him
having them Monday through Friday.
- I figured not, but golly.
- I did file a motion to reconsider.
- Good.
- People don't realize how
much treatment has helped me.
Last year, can you remember how late I was
for that birthday party?
- Yes, compared to this year, yeah.
You got your stuff together.
I think you're in a good spot,
and I think your girls could
be in a good spot if people
let their best interests win.
- Be at heart, yeah.
- I have a question,
do you ever wish you would
listen to me one time?
- Well, I have a question for you.
Do you ever think you would
have listened to me one time?
You were the one person I thought,
I couldn't imagine myself
being with anyone else.
I'm telling you.
- You buzzed?
- A little bit, 'cause I don't ever drink.
- No (beep), I can see it.
- You can't see (beep).
- [Jeremy] Yeah I can.
- Shut up.
- You'll be blacked out after
the bottom of that glass.
- Shut up.
I'm sorry I don't drink as much as you.
- [Jeremy] I drink a lot, I drink a lot.
- There's no excuse for
the mistakes I've made,
but I wonder where we would be
had we been together through my treatment.
- I'm not gonna lie to you.
There was nights I was
scared for the girls.
There were nights.
- When I wasn't doing good.
- I was scared.
- I'm not gonna say I
wasn't in a bad place,
because I know, I know, I know I was.
I was looking for a
hand, some kind of help.
- You was in a big, black, dark hole.
I tried, I gave up.
No, I did.
- [Leah] You did give up.
- I did give up, I gave up.
- I feel like you regret not waiting.
- It's kind of (beep)
for my daughter, yeah.
- So we shouldn't have just gave up.
- I was damned if I do, damned if I don't.
(soft music)
- [Jeremy] Hello?
- Hey.
- [Jeremy] Hey, what's up.
- Nothing, did you want me to call you?
- Yeah, I don't know.
I've had (beep) on my mind,
and I just, I don't know.
You know I don't really open
up with feelings and (beep)
and all that stuff, very seldom.
But I don't know, it's
just driving me nuts
that it aired on TV.
The scene that I filmed
with Cam a long time ago.
I do not regret my daughter, by no means,
but I damn sure regret
who I had a child with.
I really, truthfully
want to deeply apologize
for saying that about you.
- That's really nice.
- [Jeremy] That has really bothered me.
- I definitely accept your apology.
It bothered me, too.
- [Jeremy] Just sat down
and think about (beep).
I don't know, me and dad
were talking, and mom.
They can see a world of difference
from when we split up to who you are now.
I do really want to thank you
for being a good mom for my kid.
You're doing great for yourself,
but you're doing great for
my daughter, Corey's kids.
You're just doing good,
you truly are doing good.
I'm really proud of you for doing that.
- Thank you.
What are we gonna do about your birthday?
- Can I have my birthday now?
- It's coming up.
- Are we gonna have a
party together, or what?
- Yeah, we can, actually, that's fine.
I was just gonna do it at Sky Zone.
You just want to do one birthday party.
- I wanna do it here.
- You don't want to go to the jumpy place
where you jump on a bunch of trampolines?
What do you think about that?
Instead of having two,
like last year you had two
separate birthday parties.
Daddy had a birthday party,
then mommy had a birthday party.
You want us to do it together?
- Y'all was together,
and then you broke up.
(both laughing)
- So, are you for sure done
with the Jeremy situation?
- I mean, he has tried to get me
to have sex with him a couple times.
- Oh my gosh.
- And it happened once.
It happened a few months ago.
We went to his house and I had to hide
walking out to the car the next morning
so his mother didn't see me,
and our kid was over
at his mother's house.
It's a road I don't want to go back down.
I know I don't feel anything there.
- I wonder if he does.
Do you think he does?
- I mean, I think he probably would, yeah,
but I'm not the same person I was.
I'm not the same person you
proposed to and I said yes.
I'm not the same person you met.
- You're definitely not.
- I'm not.
The girls and I are having a great summer.
- Look up, Grace.
- Everybody look.
One, two, three, cheese.
They start school in a few weeks,
and Ali's gonna have an aide,
but not the same one she had last year.
She's been using a breathing
machine every few days
because her lungs are getting weaker.
Are you breathing in?
A few months ago, I
started dating someone new,
and so far it's going really well.
- Just getting to know the girls,
it's kind of like we're buddies, you know?
- Well, the girls like you, too.
They all like you.
- How can they not?
- Oh, jeez.
I'll never forget the
first time I kissed you.
I was like, what did she say?
I forget.
- Don't take my mommy's kisses.
- You take my mommy's kisses.
- Which made me just do it again.
- I actually have been talking
to someone for a few months.
- What's his name?
- His name is Jason.
- How'd you meet him?
- We met through a mutual friend.
He has a steady job, he works in sales.
He's 39, so there's a
little over 10 years apart.
- That's not bad.
- No, not when you're in my situation.
If I date someone my age, it's
like they don't get my life.
They don't understand three kids.
They don't want any
part of that, actually.
- Does he have a kid?
- He does, he does.
He has a little boy.
He's been married twice.
It's so crazy how similar we are.
- They're acting up extra
because you're here.
- They're extra awesome.
What do you want to drink?
Can I stick my finger in it?
- No!
- They've been on camera
their entire life.
- Yeah, since I was born.
I've been on camera longer than Addie.
- He didn't meet you
guys for a while, though.
It was three months.
I was scared.
I was so scared, I think you were, too.
We had two failed marriages we
felt like we gave our all in.
- Personally, I don't want to fail again,
so that's why I was
hesitant in the beginning.
Was that good, did I express myself well?
- Yeah.
- What did you guys think
whenever you met Jason?
- I forgot.
- You guys told me you were excited.
You were like, I really like him.
I was like, oh, don't
like him too much yet.
- She said that?
- No, she didn't.
She's making that up, she's lying.
- Are you excited for
your showcase tomorrow?
- No.
- I know Jason will be
coming with mommy tomorrow.
- Huh?
- Jason will be coming with me tomorrow.
- No, no!
- He's super excited.
- He's going to tear my whole life up.
- He's gonna tear your whole life up?
Why, is he gonna embarrass you?
Is he gonna be the
embarrassing stepdad someday?
- Mom.
Addie said that you have to talk to us.
- She said that I said that
I wanted to poison him.
- She told me that you guys
said you wanted to poison Jason
and Ali wanted to pinch Jason.
- I never said that, ever.
- That's why I don't like her.
- If she's lying like that,
then she's gonna get in trouble,
because Jason's never been
mean to you guys, not once.
- We never said he was.
- If you guys are feeling some way,
then you need to talk to us.
- I said Addie, we never said that.
She went yeah you did,
you just don't remember.
I went girl, I have a mind.
How do you think I get
A pluses on my test?
I remember.
- Jason's not mean, he's
never been mean to you guys.
- It's true.
- It's a little adjustment.
Instead of it just being mommy,
eventually it will be all of us together,
and it's different.
- I think she's lying about this, too.
She said that Mommy said that
Jason's gonna live with us.
- [Leah] Some day, yes.
We will probably all live together.
- Huh?
- Hey, what's up?
- What's up?
- How's it going?
- It's going.
I have something to tell you, actually.
- What's up?
- Can we sit right here?
- Yeah, sure.
- Jason and I broke up.
- You guys just broke up?
- Yeah, it just wasn't
right, just wasn't right,
and my kids weren't
feeling it anymore, either.
Not that they can determine
who I'm gonna be with,
but they were picking up on
the energy and I wasn't okay.
- Every time we saw you guys
together when we were filming,
everything seemed to be going great.
What happened?
- We don't see behind the scenes.
- So he's always on his best
behavior when we're around,
is that the deal?
- Yeah, we've had a lot
of disagreements lately.
Parenting, and he gets openly angry.
He doesn't hit or anything like that.
He just gets upset and
takes it out on everyone,
you know what I mean?
But I feel like there
was always an expectation
that I could never meet.
What I did wasn't ever enough.
It didn't matter.
I could get up, cook
breakfast, do this, do that,
have all the kids ready, go
watch his kid and keep doing,
and I felt like it wasn't enough.
He felt the same way, but no
one wanted to make the move
to say this isn't working
out, you know what I mean?
I had to eventually
say this is exhausting,
this is not working out.
What are you guys doing?
- Playing.
- Talking about you
breaking up with Jason.
- Who told?
- Addie.
- Addie, did you tell?
- No.
(girls shouting)
- She said mom and Jason broke up
and then he tried to kiss you
but you pushed him away.
That's pretty funny.
- Addie's right, we did break up.
- Finally, I told you I don't like him.
- I don't like him either,
he wasn't cute to me.
- Why did you think that
daddy gave mommy a love note?
- I didn't think that.
- Then who did?
- Sissys.
- Sissys did?
- When I got there, you were like, mommy,
daddy wrote you a love note really loud,
and then your sisters were like, yeah,
Jeremy gave you a love note.
- I don't like it on the lake.
- You told me daddy said
that I broke his heart.
Do you not remember?
And daddy told you why something?
Daddy told me that you talked
to him about something.
Did you ask him why
mommy and daddy broke up?
- Yeah.
- You did?
What made you think about it?
- It's just that daddy didn't
have a girlfriend at the time
and I thought about
you and daddy together.
- When I was with Jason,
did it make you think of it?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Look at me.
You know mommy and daddy
will always love you.
- I know.
- Even if mommy and daddy's not together,
we still love you.
(phone dialing)
- [Jeremy] Hello?
- Hey.
- [Jeremy] Hi.
- A boy 'roposed to me.
- Addie got a 'roposal today.
- [Jeremy] A what?
- She got 'roposed to today.
- [Jeremy] She got proposed
to today at school, huh?
- 'Roposed.
- [Jeremy] Who is this little boy?
- No one.
- [Jeremy] No one?
- No one, she ain't gonna tell you.
- I already have the ring, I said yes.
- [Jeremy] He already has a ring, huh?
- Yeah, I said yes.
- [Jeremy] You can take
it back to the store.
- [Leah] The twins are doing
well and they're with Corey,
'cause I just got to New York
for the Teen Mom 2 Reunion.
We're shooting it differently this year,
so all the girls are in
New York on different days.
I'm gonna miss seeing everyone,
but I'm glad the producers
split us up this year.
Jeremy's coming too,
and we haven't hung out
without Addie in a long time.
What do you think?
- I'm in love with New York City already.
- It's nice to get out
of West Virginia, huh?
- Yeah, it is.
Are you excited?
- I'm excited to just get it over with.
I'm ready for a drink.
- I'm excited, I know.
Where is Jeremy staying,
'cause there's only one bed in here,
that's me and you, right?
- I never said he was
staying in my room, anyway,
but I bet he requested
to stay in this hotel,
probably because we are cool.
- Yeah, but how cool?
There's different levels of cool.
- We're both single, we
can hang out if we want.
- Okay, so what's he
coming to your hotel for?
- Probably so he's
around someone he knows.
- Where does this put me?
- It's you hanging out with us, I guess.
You're thinking of
everything the wrong way.
- I don't think so.
- [Leah] Jeremy got to New York
late last night and we went out.
I've posted some pictures,
and now everyone's commenting,
asking if we're back together.
(upbeat music)
We're not filming our segment until later,
so we have some time to kill.
- I just was really thinking about it,
when have the three of us
been not middle of a kid,
dropping a kid off situation.
- Five years.
- Five years later,
walking in the middle of New York.
It's already starting on my Instagram,
people saying why don't y'all
just get back together already?
- I've got an inbox with 99 plus messages
that say the exact same (beep) thing.
Have you heard from your ex?
- No, not in a month.
I don't plan on hearing from him, either.
Single again.
- Yeah, but when you two are
together, you're not single.
- I'm gonna throat punch your sister.
- Leah, what time did
you get back last night?
You went to dinner, what
time did you get back?
- What was it, like midnight?
- Oh no, I'm pretty sure
she came sneaking in
at seven o'clock this morning.
- We went and done cardio at the gym.
- Yeah, okay.
- I'm gonna elbow her.
- She said, mommy, do
you like-like my daddy?
And then she would go
to Jeremy and be like,
daddy, do you like-like my mom?
- She's so confused about
(beep) like that, so confused.
- Yeah, but what did you guys say?
- She just questioned.
We told her we always loved
each other, liked each other,
because we have her.
- [Host] Are you single?
- Yeah, I'm single.
- No he's not, he's involved with Leah.
(audience applauding)
- I was waiting for it.
- This weekend, we've had fun.
(audience cheering)
- A good choice of words,
real good choice of words.
- For the audience,
do we want to see them together, or what?
(audience cheering)
I like this.
- [Leah] I think I talk to
Jeremy every single day.
- Yeah, but have you talked
to the girls about this?
- Addie's super smart, and
then the twins are like,
oh my gosh mommy, get back with Jeremy.
- They're like, Jeremy
came up to our house.
I was like, oh, he did?
I was like, so how do you feel
about your mom and Jeremy?
And Gracie's like oh, I'm cool with it.
Addie's like yeah, me too.
Gracie's like yeah, because
it's your mom and dad,
and then they all started laughing.
- All my kids want me to be with Jeremy,
but I don't want to rush on anything.
Addie's six, she's not a baby.
I don't want to confuse her.
- Is the official statement
that you guys are both single
right now?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, we're both single.
- Co-parenting 100%.
- That's what we say, anyway (laughing).
- Let's see her texts to Jeremy.
- [Woman] Yeah, read those, Gracie.
- Mommy likes Jeremy.
(girls laughing)
- All right Gracie, that's enough.
Give me my phone.
- You like Jeremy.
- She has heart, heart, kissy face,
and he said cry, cry, kissy face.
- Jeremy sent kissy faces,
and I sent, y'all goofy.
Get on about your bad self, go on.
- Addie, tell mommy what
you told me and Ali.
- Mommy was in bed with my dad.
- [Leah] I was showing him a video.
- Who's house?
- My dad's.
- Oh, so they were at your dad's house.
- All right, that's enough.
- I still love you.
- Give me a kiss.
(upbeat music)
We've in Maui for a few days,
and if Jeremy could come out,
it would be this weekend.
- [Jeremy] What's up?
- Aloha.
- [Jeremy] What are you drinking?
- A drink.
- How's Hawaii?
- It's great.
Do you want to see my view?
- No.
You suck.
I've got some bad news.
- What?
- I can't make it to Hawaii.
- Why?
- Work.
- You suck.
You would have had so much fun.
- I can't help that.
- It's so nice, too,
so you're missing out.
We could have took off and did something,
we could have had one on one time.
You're only thinking of
one thing, and I hate you.
You're being so gross.
What the hell are we doing?
- What the hell?
- I mean, we can't be confusing forever,
but at the same time, it's like,
you want to be careful
and you want to make the
right moves, you know?
- Yeah, I ain't rushing (beep).
Well, when you get home,
we'll go to dinner.
- Yeah, so if we go to dinner,
it's just gonna be me and you, no kids.
- No kids.
- All right, go on.
I'll talk to you later.
- Tell my kid I love her.
- Okay, bye.
So annoying.
While we were in Hawaii, Jeremy
was gonna come out there.
He didn't end up coming, but I get it.
It's work, that's his life.
I was disappointed that
he didn't come out there
because I am over being confused,
and when I got home he wanted to take me
to a dinner or something,
take me on a date.
- So, how do you feel about that?
- I'm like, okay, but it was his idea,
so I'm letting him plan it.
Yeah.
- How did Ali like Hawaii?
- She loved it.
- She's cute.
- She's so cute.
She didn't go on the shark dive with us,
and I feel bad, but as sad
as it is, it's her life.
It's her normal.
I think she needs to be
in some kind of activity,
and I actually this year
put in the application
and submitted it for her
to go to MDA summer camp.
Muscular Dystrophy
Association organizes camps,
and I'm really hoping that
her going to the MDA camp
will give her an experience of a lifetime.
- And that she's not the only
one that goes through this
so she doesn't feel alone.
- Exactly.
She never gets to interact with other kids
that's dealing with the same
(beep) that she's dealing with.
She doesn't.
Sometimes I hate it.
She's so smart
and it's like she's trapped.
- In this body.
- And she can't do anything.
- I know.
- Why someone that's nine
years old has to really think
why am I so different, why
can't I see out of my eye,
why can't I run and play
with the kids at the school,
and then not being able to make friends.
- It'll be good.
It'll be good for you, be good for her.
- I don't know if it'll be good for me.
- Yes, it will.
- I'm excited for her, but I'm
anxious, so anxious about it,
because someone else is
taking care of our baby
for an entire week, and
we're nowhere around.
We're not even a fly on the wall.
We can't even see it.
I'll be missing her so much.
It makes me want to cry.
- All right Ali, ready to go to camp?
Ready?
Here we are, let's go.
- Give me both of them.
Hey mom, I see a butterfly.
I'm gonna go barefoot.
- [Leah] Watch your feet.
- Pillow is in there with the letter,
the helmet's there, that.
- You ready?
Cameras weren't allowed in the camp,
but we helped Ali settle in.
♪ And the pain will be just
a memory that we made ♪
♪ 'Cause life is bittersweet ♪
- [Leah] And even though I'm
happy she has this opportunity,
it was really hard to leave.
(phone dialing)
- [Victoria] Hello?
- Hey.
- [Leah] I just dropped Ali off to camp.
- [Victoria] And you don't
sound too happy about it.
- No, I mean, I'm a
little nervous for her.
She was a little nervous, too.
- [Victoria] It just got real.
- We dropped her off.
Gracie helped her make her
bed, and Gracie's like,
it looks like you're
gonna have a lot of fun.
And I'm like, I can't hold back the tears
'cause I'm like, what if she gets scared?
What if she feels uncomfortable?
Man, my baby's gone for
a week an hour away,
and I'm freaking out.
- [Victoria] First time, real time.
- [Leah] Ali's been away
at Muscular Dystrophy camp
for a week, and it looks
like she had a lot of fun
from all the pictures she sent us.
I'm picking her up today,
and I hope she made lots of new friends.
- [Counselor] Ali, I'm glad
that you had a good time.
Hopefully we'll see you next year.
- Nice meeting you.
Thank you, bye.
Ready, baby?
Did you have fun?
- Uh huh.
- So much fun?
So much fun that you want to go back?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
- I didn't want to leave.
- Go watch TV.
The nice man paid for a movie.
- You don't want to miss the
sunset with you two kissing.
- What?
We're having a talk.
I brought you over to your dad's house.
- [Addie] I said when the sun sets.
(both laughing)
- Oh my gosh, Hawaii was so much fun.
You really missed out when you didn't go.
- I had to work.
You know in Hawaii how I said
I'd take you out to dinner?
- Yeah.
- You just want to go
out to dinner tomorrow?
I'm home.
- Sure.
Since you didn't come to Hawaii.
- I'll just have mom watch her, I guess.
- I'm down with that, we can go to dinner.
- All right Leah, let's
plan on that tomorrow.
- There's a lot of stuff we
need to talk about, anyway.
How are you feeling after the divorce?
- I mean, I feel good.
- It's so crazy, because
you going through this,
I know the emotions.
I seem to sometimes
forget about the emotions
because it's been so long.
- It's like Royer, the baby's dad,
we get along really well so far.
- [Leah] What would
you do if you came here
and it didn't work out?
- Then it didn't.
I'm not gonna let it define my life.
- Right, you got this.
Your divorce is definitely
making me think about
where I'm at with Jeremy,
and I just do not want
to go through that again.
Jeremy's the same person he was.
He asked me to go on this dinner
and he keeps pushing that back.
I know he's super busy.
Trust me, I get it, but
Jeremy wasn't really
putting much effort into it.
I'm not saying that I am.
I'm saying neither one of us are
and I feel like that's a sign.
I just don't want to confuse Addie.
She's so happy with
just the way things are,
I don't want to change it.
- At this point, what do you want to do?
- At this point,
I think we need to cut
(beep) completely off.
I'm gonna have to tell him.
I really think that the
hookup makes it worse.
- It's not about the sex anymore,
because you could totally
get that elsewhere.
You already know that.
- I'm worried that Jeremy's
gonna be like, oh my God,
I think we should give this another shot
and I'm gonna be like (beep).
- Or he could just be
in agreeance with you.
- That would be ideal if he
was in agreeance with me,
but when is Jeremy ever
in agreeance with me?
- Yeah.
- Hello?
- [Jeremy] What are you doing?
- Filling out this form for Addie
to be able to get her flu shot.
- [Jeremy] All right, good.
- I want to talk to you about me and you.
- [Jeremy] Oh yeah?
- I mean, I definitely wanted
to talk to you in person.
It's been fun when we get to hang out,
but maybe we didn't work out for a reason.
I think we really need to
end things romantically.
Anything more than just
being co-parents for Addie,
I think we need to leave behind us.
- [Jeremy] Yeah, I get it.
- My whole thing is,
I really don't want to
do it all over again
and then next thing we
know the kids are confused,
Addie's confused, she's upset.
I really do fight with that.
- [Jeremy] No matter what,
we're still in a great place,
together, not together,
hooking up, not hooking up.
- But it's also, even hooking up,
for me it creates feelings and confusion
when we, quote, hook up.
- [Jeremy] I agree with you.
- Do you really, or are
you just saying that?
How do you really feel, Jeremy?
Tell me how you really feel.
- [Jeremy] What do you
mean, how do I feel?
I said I agree with you.
- Agreeing with me is
agreeing to how I feel,
not how you feel.
- [Jeremy] It's the same way I feel.
I don't want Addie all screwed up
and then (beep) goes sour in the end,
and now we're in court.
I think I'm getting pulled over.
- Since you're getting pulled over,
I'm gonna let you off here.
Sounds like a total Jeremy thing of you,
getting pulled over.
- [Jeremy] All right, later.
(soft music)
