00:00 90 Day Fiancee, The Other Way's Brandon and Mary, now a family of three, sharing with
00:08 ET this exclusive first look at their newborn daughter named Midnight.
00:13 "This is a fresh start for us."
00:16 "Yes it is.
00:17 I like that."
00:19 Check out the little cutie, all swaddled in pink and white blankets.
00:23 "Even though we were trying to make a baby, I still have anxiety like, 'How am I going
00:29 to take care of this kid?
00:31 What kind of father do I want to be?'"
00:34 Midnight was born on August 15th via C-section.
00:37 And Mary tells ET, "When I heard our baby crying for the first time, I got teary-eyed
00:43 and I was so happy to realize I have a baby," adding, "I've never been this happy in
00:49 my whole life."
00:50 Mary and Brandon's journey to parenthood and marriage hasn't been easy, and it's
00:55 all played out on TLC.
00:56 "He's still playing his game so much and not focusing on the real life."
01:02 The two met after more than two years of obsessively video chatting with one another.
01:06 "Oh my God."
01:08 "I love you no matter what, no matter what."
01:17 But once they were together in Mary's native Philippines, her grandparents put their foot
01:22 down on any intimacy between the two, including kissing.
01:25 "I always respect my grandparents, but I don't want to tell Brandon we can't do
01:31 anything without their permission."
01:33 "I had no idea this was a rule.
01:37 It's just really absurd to me.
01:39 I think that I deserve to be able to kiss her without asking for permission.
01:44 But I guess their culture is a lot different than I was expecting."
01:47 Which made things difficult when they announced Mary's pregnancy to her family.
01:51 "I was fully on board, and then she's like, you know, I just really, really want
01:56 a baby.
01:57 And I thought trying to make a baby will help us become a better couple.
02:05 Now that she's pregnant, I'm like, holy s***, this is really happening.
02:09 Like what?
02:10 Things just got a lot more complicated."
02:13 Fast forward to their wedding day, Mary had second thoughts about going through with things.
02:18 "Even though Brandon's mom really helps me to understand how much I love him, I feel
02:24 like I'm not ready to marry him because he still didn't reassure me that I can trust
02:31 him to be man enough to be a father and my future husband."
02:40 In the end, Mary and Brandon tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony.
02:43 "I promise you that you will never have to worry about me abandoning you."
02:49 "I want to spend my life, my whole life with you forever."
02:52 "Mary, do you take Brandon to be your lawful wedded husband?"
02:56 "I do."
02:57 "Brandon, do you take Mary to be your lawful wedding wife?"
03:03 "I do."
03:05 But things took a turn when it started raining beetles.
03:08 "I'm looking over and there's like this fog rolling in."
03:14 "Oh my gosh."
03:16 "And I realized that's not a fog, that's a lot of bugs.
03:22 There's hundreds of bugs everywhere."
03:24 From bugs to baby, it's been a whirlwind for this couple who's now a family of three.
03:29 "I think the future will be positive for me and Brandon."
03:32 "I think the future will be positive for me and Brandon."
03:33 "I think the future will be positive for me and Brandon."
03:34 "I think the future will be positive for me and Brandon."
03:35 "I think the future will be positive for me and Brandon."
03:36 "I think the future will be positive for me and Brandon."
03:37 "I think the future will be positive for me and Brandon."
