00:00:00To be free after 16 years, it feels great.
00:00:03Yeah! Life is good!
00:00:06This is gonna be life-changing.
00:00:08Oh, my God!
00:00:10I love you.
00:00:11Gets a lot harder living on the outside than it is in prison.
00:00:14Wee!
00:00:15Here we go.
00:00:16Oh, my God!
00:00:17That's what answer prayer looks like.
00:00:20I'm so excited.
00:00:21Can't stop, won't stop till we come for more.
00:00:24Bring it back, bring it back.
00:00:26What's up, son?
00:00:27I'm finna get a yogurt.
00:00:29I'm serving an 18-year sentence,
00:00:31but I really hang with my wife almost all day on the cameras.
00:00:36If he want us to be this happy, painted picture,
00:00:39we're not gonna get that.
00:00:41Rob's mom can be very manipulative.
00:00:43I will not let her draw a wedge between me and Rob.
00:00:46We can cuss.
00:00:48I love everything about Daniel,
00:00:50besides the fact that he's in prison.
00:00:52I don't think he knew you well enough to marry you.
00:00:55If you... drink every day,
00:00:57I don't know how I'm gonna handle that.
00:00:58If my man cannot leave that state,
00:01:01I'm moving to that state.
00:01:03I don't know if I'm making the right decision.
00:01:05I have a gift for you guys.
00:01:07Dining tickets.
00:01:08So you believe I cheated on my husband?
00:01:10Because of Justine's past C-sections,
00:01:13it can be catastrophic.
00:01:14I don't want any more children.
00:01:17Will you marry me?
00:01:18Yes!
00:01:19Yes!
00:01:20I do everything according to you.
00:01:22No, you don't do everything according to me.
00:01:23Yes, I do.
00:01:24Pull over right quick.
00:01:25If Keurig leaves you or decides he does not want to marry your ass,
00:01:28you don't have anybody.
00:01:30My problem is I've been doing opiates for two and a half decades.
00:01:34Did you like him when me and him dated?
00:01:36He cheated on you with me.
00:01:37He whistled at me outside.
00:01:39And I think he's gonna play you.
00:01:40I don't know what to believe right now.
00:01:42She's crazy.
00:01:45I'm the king and you my queen.
00:01:48I was raising in church.
00:01:50Troy was raising the streets.
00:01:53She cheated on him while he was in prison.
00:01:55I gave that relationship 60 days.
00:01:57Rhea, open the door.
00:01:58Stop playing with me.
00:01:59Here, get out my house.
00:02:00F*** my life.
00:02:02What the f*** did I sign up for?
00:02:09Oh my goodness.
00:02:11My divorce isn't final, but it should be any day.
00:02:13Wait, what?
00:02:14I'm still technically married.
00:02:1816 years and the same s*** still out there!
00:02:23Happy f***ing pizza.
00:02:26Why are you so triggered?
00:02:27Why do you gotta remind me that you did all these things?
00:02:29This is just too much.
00:02:30He's not being honest with me.
00:02:33I need to go, yo.
00:02:34Sometimes it feels like we're still in prison.
00:02:37Even though we're freaking free.
00:02:49Excited to get home?
00:02:50Yeah.
00:02:53What? Why are you looking at me like that?
00:02:55Just daydreaming over here.
00:03:02What a day, baby.
00:03:04Yeah.
00:03:06It's beautiful.
00:03:08What is?
00:03:09These houses, all these trees.
00:03:10Really?
00:03:11Yeah, it's beautiful.
00:03:12Like, this is amazing.
00:03:15Daniel was released from prison this morning.
00:03:17And it doesn't feel real.
00:03:19I love you.
00:03:20I love you, too.
00:03:22I'm so happy.
00:03:25It's just a crazy feeling knowing that I finally have my person that I've been waiting for for so long.
00:03:32Whoa, there's the cops.
00:03:35I went to prison for five years.
00:03:38And I met Bianca on a pen pal service while I was incarcerated.
00:03:43She was in an accident by somebody who was intoxicated behind the wheel.
00:03:49And that was what I was arrested for.
00:03:51So that's what drew her to talk to me.
00:03:54What are you thinking about?
00:03:55Taking a shower with you.
00:03:57Being here with Bianca, my heart's racing.
00:04:00I feel like we're on a cloud.
00:04:03No more glass.
00:04:04No more handcuffs.
00:04:05No more buzzed doors.
00:04:07No more family around us.
00:04:10This is what we've been waiting for.
00:04:14I'm literally so excited.
00:04:17The last time I had sex?
00:04:19Way over a year ago.
00:04:21We have phone sex all the time.
00:04:23And we're constantly, like, sending dirty text messages and talking about everything.
00:04:28I've actually sent him news before.
00:04:30So he knows what to expect.
00:04:33But the most that I've seen from Daniel is the penis cutout that he traced.
00:04:40He's freaking good at drawing.
00:04:42That he traced.
00:04:44He's freaking good at drawing.
00:04:45I can't draw this.
00:04:47Oh my god.
00:04:48Oh my god, that's his d***.
00:04:49What?
00:04:51I did not mean, I didn't know I had that there.
00:04:53You seriously have a picture of his d***?
00:04:55No, he drew it on a paper.
00:04:56Oh my god.
00:04:57I did not mean to have that there.
00:04:59He drew it on a piece of paper?
00:05:01Oh my god, that's so crazy.
00:05:03Wait, stop.
00:05:04I can't.
00:05:05I can't show that.
00:05:06It seems like he has a pretty big d***.
00:05:13Wow.
00:05:14This is the crib.
00:05:18What do you think?
00:05:19It's definitely an upgrade from the prison.
00:05:23Yeah.
00:05:25It's cute.
00:05:27Wow.
00:05:29Is this a bottle opener?
00:05:31What kind of bottle do you open it with?
00:05:35Oh my gosh.
00:05:36Croissants.
00:05:37Flowers.
00:05:38Oh my gosh.
00:05:39Croissants.
00:05:40Flowers.
00:05:42This is all...
00:05:44Do you like the kitchen?
00:05:45Yeah, I do.
00:05:46I just like this.
00:05:47This is amazing.
00:05:48You really?
00:05:49Yeah.
00:05:50I'm a little anxious.
00:05:51Why are you anxious?
00:05:52You know, I've been sleeping in a bunk bed for five years.
00:05:57Aww.
00:06:00I love you.
00:06:01I love you too.
00:06:09I love you.
00:06:10I love you too.
00:06:12Do you like it?
00:06:13You're happy?
00:06:14Yeah, I am.
00:06:16Well, then f*** it.
00:06:17Yeah, I do.
00:06:27I love you.
00:06:28I love you too.
00:06:30Do you like it?
00:06:31You're happy?
00:06:32Yeah, I am.
00:06:34Well, then f*** it.
00:06:35Yeah, I do.
00:06:38I'm trying to think of the last time I had sex before Bianca.
00:06:41Because before I was locked up, you know, I was struggling with my addiction for a while.
00:06:48Nobody wanted to be with me.
00:06:50It was a long time, actually.
00:07:00I hope he can last a little bit.
00:07:01You know, I want to feel good.
00:07:02I'm not even going to finish if it's two bumps.
00:07:08I guess we just have to see.
00:07:12Alright, we need privacy.
00:07:13Y'all gotta leave.
00:07:14Y'all gotta get out of here.
00:07:20Oh my God.
00:07:31Troy, you put my bras in the box?
00:07:34Seriously, I need to wear my bras every day.
00:07:36I'm just getting everything out the way so I can pull everything out.
00:07:38How am I supposed to get ready?
00:07:39I don't even have my bras.
00:07:42Could you relax?
00:07:48Like, this is what I tell you.
00:07:49I just need my own space.
00:07:50That's it.
00:07:51And we're going to be alright.
00:07:52I can't deal with this right now.
00:07:53Seriously.
00:07:54I'm not trying to argue.
00:07:56Since Troy's been released and came home over the last month, life has been, what would I say?
00:08:04Crazy as hell.
00:08:07Crazy as f***.
00:08:08Dad!
00:08:10What's up, little man?
00:08:12I remember letting go just so you know.
00:08:16Hi!
00:08:18You happy your dad home?
00:08:20Yeah.
00:08:22Took me two gummies.
00:08:23I'll be high as hell.
00:08:25Holy cow!
00:08:28Ever since you got out of jail, there's been f*** hopping up.
00:08:33I am tired!
00:08:36With this being the first time Troy and I are living together, it's just been a little chaotic.
00:08:43It's called reorganization.
00:08:44You don't let me finish things first before you just like, oh, where's this?
00:08:49Where's that?
00:08:50You take f***ing time in the bathroom.
00:08:52And you don't?
00:08:53As I should.
00:08:56I don't like the fact that you just think that I don't have a space for you.
00:09:00Like, I did all of this for you, Troy.
00:09:02It's not that I don't feel like you have a space.
00:09:04I was just a little tired last night.
00:09:05Overslept a little bit.
00:09:06I apologize.
00:09:07Let me just finish getting dressed so we can go.
00:09:09We have to hurry up, Troy.
00:09:10Yes, I know.
00:09:11We're about to be late.
00:09:12Zaria, she's the love of my life.
00:09:15She's my wife, my best friend.
00:09:18But living with her is a real vibe.
00:09:21I mean, it's enough space if it was just the three of us.
00:09:24But you add an extra person that takes away a room.
00:09:28Now we have a cluster.
00:09:30What's going on?
00:09:31I don't know.
00:09:32Things have just been kind of crazy.
00:09:34Yeah.
00:09:35When I hear you guys arguing, my heart drops a little bit.
00:09:38Because I don't want it to get, like, too heated.
00:09:42I don't want to make this an uncomfortable situation for you.
00:09:44Like, this is your home before Troy came here.
00:09:47You know, you were living here.
00:09:49You were here for me.
00:09:51I like Troy.
00:09:52I do feel bad for him sometimes.
00:09:55Because, like, Zaria will just, like, be in her ways.
00:09:59And, like, I don't think he's, like, used to it.
00:10:02The other day, like, Zaria was going off on him.
00:10:05And he was just, like, sitting at the dining room table.
00:10:08And he looked like a sad puppy.
00:10:10And I was like, you okay, bro?
00:10:12So, I don't know if my sister and Troy are going to stay together.
00:10:17But it's different.
00:10:18This is not no boyfriend-girlfriend.
00:10:20This is married.
00:10:21So, I don't know.
00:10:25Come in.
00:10:26Come in.
00:10:28Hey, baby.
00:10:29Zion's going to take you to school.
00:10:31So, listen to her.
00:10:33Do what you're supposed to do.
00:10:34You're almost ready.
00:10:35I'm about to roll this blunt so we can go.
00:10:38I don't want you to get too high, okay?
00:10:40I'm not going to get too high, man.
00:10:42I'm not even about to smoke.
00:10:43I'm just rolling it up so we can have it afterward.
00:10:46I am excited.
00:10:48I'm on my way to my first day at work.
00:10:50I finally get to meet my staff.
00:10:52All right, Zion, I'll see you later.
00:10:53Have a good day at school.
00:10:54Okay, bye.
00:10:56We are co-partners in Project Heal.
00:10:59Project Heal is a nonprofit organization that provides free mental health therapeutic support
00:11:06to at-risk youth and formerly incarcerated individuals.
00:11:10Prior to his release, he started telling me the things that he thinks that he would struggle with
00:11:16and the things that he needed and the support.
00:11:18I'm like, all right, I think that we should create our own organization.
00:11:24So, how are you feeling about your first day of work?
00:11:27Nervous and excited all at the same time.
00:11:30What are you nervous about? This is your company.
00:11:32Just catching up and just learning everything. That's all.
00:11:36I'm nervous to introduce Troy to our other employees
00:11:40because I know that Troy gets nervous in high-stress situations.
00:11:45And this is not only my business, but this is his business as well.
00:11:50Hey!
00:11:51Hey!
00:11:52Hey!
00:11:53Hello!
00:11:54How are you all?
00:11:55Really nice.
00:11:56I want to formally introduce Troy.
00:11:59Hey, how are you doing, Troy?
00:12:01This is Dr. Anita.
00:12:03Nice to meet you.
00:12:04And this is Ashley.
00:12:06Nice to meet you.
00:12:08Do you mind me asking, what were you in for?
00:12:10Criminal possession of a firearm in the second attempted robbery in the first.
00:12:15Okay.
00:12:17Yeah.
00:12:18I want to give him a tour real quick.
00:12:19So, you guys hang tight and we're going to have a meeting later.
00:12:21Great.
00:12:22Thanks a lot.
00:12:23It was great to meet you, Troy.
00:12:24Nice meeting you.
00:12:25Welcome, welcome.
00:12:27Appreciate the welcomes.
00:12:28I'm here now.
00:12:29All right.
00:12:31My main reservation with him is just not knowing.
00:12:35He's going to have to be really good at managing the stress of all of this.
00:12:41I don't know his work ethic.
00:12:44I don't know his vision.
00:12:46I don't know anything.
00:12:47So, come into your new office.
00:12:50It reminds me of when I was in prison.
00:12:52I had my own little corner cube.
00:12:54Those was always the best cubes.
00:12:55Well, this is not a cube, babe.
00:12:57This is your office.
00:12:58This is the best office, okay?
00:12:59Slap me some, girl.
00:13:00In my past, I worked at different factory jobs, so all of this is new to me.
00:13:08So, are you guys ready to meet?
00:13:10Yeah.
00:13:11Yes, we are.
00:13:12I love the office.
00:13:13I love the office.
00:13:14This is surreal.
00:13:15It's like, wow, she made it happen.
00:13:17That's definitely hard work.
00:13:18As far as your position goes, as Director of Community Engagement, your job is to engage the community.
00:13:26Trying to really build a good outreach team so that it can support our work and if the therapists need,
00:13:32like, hey, go check on such and such.
00:13:34We haven't heard from them in a while.
00:13:35We can do that, and we don't have to wait for another agency.
00:13:38It's something that I always wanted to do, so I'm overly ready.
00:13:41Mm-hmm.
00:13:42I know that I can run a business because running the streets and running an office is definitely similar.
00:13:50When you're running with a gang of folks, doing criminal activities, selling drugs, whatever it is that you're doing,
00:13:56you would need individuals to do paperwork, file paperwork.
00:14:01You need someone to answer the phones.
00:14:02I mean, I created a legal organization, but if you're looking at it from a street perspective, I just created my own gang.
00:14:10I definitely got a few ideas in mind that's going to make this s*** pop.
00:14:15I love that Troy is excited, but there's something I haven't told him about the business.
00:14:21I really need to tell him before it's too late.
00:14:30I don't want to put myself in a dangerous situation.
00:14:33Be a little bit realistic here, okay?
00:14:34There's definitely some serious risks.
00:14:37Do you think you look like me?
00:14:38You do, don't you?
00:14:40I could be Kacen's father.
00:14:42I deserve to know.
00:14:43Kacen, come here real quick.
00:14:46Oh, mama made it.
00:14:48Rob's mom can be very manipulative.
00:14:50When Jeannie ain't going to be there, I'm going to be there.
00:14:51What is your problem with me?
00:14:59Tonight, Tia Mori is coming to WE tv.
00:15:02Oh, my God. I'm sweating.
00:15:05Unfiltered.
00:15:06I'm divorced.
00:15:07Congratulations.
00:15:10You know I've never dated.
00:15:11You want me to kiss you?
00:15:14I am weird, and that is okay.
00:15:17My new reality starts now.
00:15:21Tia Mori, my next act, premieres tonight at 930 on WE tv.
00:15:31This is my first time, and we're ever moving, so I kind of packed it all.
00:15:35You can tell.
00:15:36Oh!
00:15:39Oh, my gosh.
00:15:45The next time, we should definitely hire her.
00:15:47Yeah, next time, we got to have money to hire movers.
00:15:50In the six weeks since Rob's release, life has been good.
00:15:54I mean, we're happy, right?
00:15:56For the most part, we're definitely happy.
00:15:58Yeah, we're happy.
00:16:03I'm not trying to carry anything.
00:16:05You're not carrying anything?
00:16:07You got it.
00:16:08We're almost to the finish line.
00:16:09Yeah, this is your first interview.
00:16:11First time moving, how do you feel?
00:16:13Are you excited?
00:16:14Yes, I feel like a human.
00:16:16Are you going to grab something?
00:16:18No, I'm filming.
00:16:19I'm the cameraman.
00:16:20I think our biggest highlight of the past six weeks
00:16:22would probably be our trip to Florida.
00:16:25It was his first time flying.
00:16:27It was my first time in the ocean,
00:16:29and my first time on a jet ski.
00:16:31First time being in Miami.
00:16:33He adjusted pretty well, to be honest.
00:16:35I mean, I don't know how you're supposed to come out of prison
00:16:38after 16, 17 years, but I feel like he did pretty good.
00:16:42I can't wait to make myself at home.
00:16:44It's not what I expected, but it is what I expected,
00:16:47so I expect the unexpected.
00:16:53Okay.
00:16:55How do you feel about the new house?
00:16:57You excited?
00:16:58How do you feel?
00:17:00Answer me.
00:17:01All right, you're lame.
00:17:04Baby, I'm putting these cameras up.
00:17:06Of course you are.
00:17:08I'm really realizing for the first time
00:17:10I don't have to just get on the phone
00:17:12and talk on them no more.
00:17:14The cameras are very much still effective.
00:17:17Now the cameras serve more as just a security purpose,
00:17:21whereas when Rob was incarcerated,
00:17:23it was for security and then also a line of communication.
00:17:28Rochelle!
00:17:30Hey.
00:17:31Like if there was ever an instance
00:17:33where I wasn't answering the phone,
00:17:35he could just jump on the cameras,
00:17:37or he would activate the alarm,
00:17:39so I would think something was wrong.
00:17:41Make sure she is what she says she is.
00:17:43To catch my attention.
00:17:46You about ready, baby?
00:17:48Absolutely.
00:17:49I'm liking my hair today for some reason.
00:17:51It decided to stick up.
00:17:53Your hair?
00:17:54You look handsome.
00:17:55The day Rob was released,
00:17:57Rob and I definitely consummated our marriage.
00:18:00We enjoyed ourselves that night,
00:18:02but we're taking a shower together
00:18:04and we're washing each other's body,
00:18:06and so I go to clean his arm.
00:18:08I'm like, is that your ex on your arm?
00:18:10And he said, yeah.
00:18:11Teeny knows nothing about a tattoo of
00:18:15a portrait on my arm.
00:18:17I'm petty.
00:18:18I bring it up in arguments just to be petty,
00:18:20but in real life, like, he loved that girl.
00:18:23Rob and I have been married for going on five years now,
00:18:25but I can't just sit here and be like,
00:18:27I've never been in love before.
00:18:28You're my first love.
00:18:29That's not true, you know?
00:18:30I love you.
00:18:31I love you, too.
00:18:32I'll unplug this arm and get this ready to go.
00:18:33Okay.
00:18:34But it still just irks me.
00:18:35I don't know.
00:18:37Well, we're going to be late for your party.
00:18:39Shyamaya?
00:18:40Coming?
00:18:41You look beautiful, baby.
00:18:42Let's go.
00:18:43Thank you, Daddy.
00:18:44Mm-hmm.
00:18:45Teeny has did a lot of planning into my welcome home party.
00:18:48You excited?
00:18:50I don't know.
00:18:51I'm excited, but...
00:18:52Nervous?
00:18:53Nervous a little bit, yeah.
00:18:55Being in prison and then getting out,
00:18:57it has caused me to have a little, like,
00:18:59social anxiety for sure.
00:19:01Usually in prison, you're locked up,
00:19:03but your door is open so you can come out.
00:19:06When pandemic hit,
00:19:07now you're locked up and the door is locked,
00:19:09so it's like locked up on top of being locked up.
00:19:12They didn't even allow visits for a while,
00:19:15but when they finally did, we couldn't even touch, so...
00:19:18Yeah.
00:19:19Yeah.
00:19:21Oh, thank you.
00:19:23Cute.
00:19:25Definitely.
00:19:26Look at the view.
00:19:28Yeah, right?
00:19:29It's nice.
00:19:30It is nice.
00:19:31I feel like when he came, he fit right in,
00:19:34so, I mean, there was really nothing weirded out
00:19:36about him being there.
00:19:38He was like that one missing piece of the puzzle
00:19:41that fit right in, you know, at the right time.
00:19:45King of the world.
00:19:48King of the world!
00:19:49My point exactly. Thank you.
00:19:52I'm just thinking, like, I'm free.
00:19:55I can do what I want to do.
00:19:56I could fly right now if I had wings.
00:19:58You don't get that much in prison.
00:20:00You don't ever get that, though.
00:20:02And I take all those moments in.
00:20:09Well, Denny and them should be here, right?
00:20:11They're supposed to come.
00:20:13They confirmed, so yes.
00:20:15What time did you tell them to be here?
00:20:16About, what, 1.30?
00:20:18Yeah, so...
00:20:20It's definitely hot, so they didn't start showing up.
00:20:23Denny kind of created the guest list
00:20:25based on those who've been there through my incarceration,
00:20:30but being down so long,
00:20:32I didn't get much visits from other family
00:20:35besides Tenney and the kids.
00:20:37Hey, Anas, what are you doing?
00:20:40Oh, okay.
00:20:41All right, so were you guys not coming
00:20:43to the little welcome home party for Rob today?
00:20:51Oh.
00:20:54What's going on, brother?
00:21:00Yeah, I thought you were maybe feeling better.
00:21:02I'll call you when I get time.
00:21:04All right, bro.
00:21:06This is like visitation.
00:21:08Every weekend, it was nobody but you guys,
00:21:11and so I'm used to it.
00:21:13What about my mom?
00:21:15She got the invitation.
00:21:19I have a good relationship with most of Rob's family,
00:21:22in all honesty.
00:21:23Everyone but his mom.
00:21:25Did you not get the Mother's Day gifts I sent?
00:21:27That ain't good enough for me.
00:21:28Y'all just living good.
00:21:29Look what you riding in.
00:21:31I barely made it up here.
00:21:32With the money situation,
00:21:33when s*** was in the picture,
00:21:35s*** looked out for me,
00:21:36s*** made sure I was okay.
00:21:37S*** is Rob's ex.
00:21:39We can cut it.
00:21:41Right now, we're good,
00:21:43but that is subject to change at any given moment.
00:21:45I don't know.
00:21:49My mama made it.
00:21:52If anything goes wrong in that room,
00:21:54don't stand around for me.
00:21:56I just don't want to lose you.
00:22:05Kudos to getting here on time.
00:22:07Oh, God bless you.
00:22:09Bless you.
00:22:10Do you have another one?
00:22:12Bless you.
00:22:14Oh, my girl.
00:22:22I'm glad I'm here with you.
00:22:24Well, thank you. I appreciate you coming.
00:22:28Justine.
00:22:29Okay.
00:22:31Hi.
00:22:32How are you?
00:22:33I'm good. How's it going?
00:22:35It's been six months since moving from Pennsylvania to Las Vegas.
00:22:38The fact that we're finally here,
00:22:40and we're having his children blended with my children,
00:22:42all underneath one roof,
00:22:43it's a beautiful thing.
00:22:46The queen is back.
00:22:50We bought a house in Vegas.
00:22:52The house is beautiful.
00:22:53The kids have their own space.
00:22:55But we spend too much.
00:22:57So, financially, things are tighter than an ant's butthole.
00:23:00And I have a day job at a moving company.
00:23:04Having all of us together,
00:23:06it's a lot of fun.
00:23:08It's a lot of fun.
00:23:09It's a lot of fun.
00:23:10It's a lot of fun.
00:23:11It's a lot of fun.
00:23:12It's a lot of fun.
00:23:13Having all of us together,
00:23:15it just feels perfect.
00:23:17Hello.
00:23:18Hi, how's it going?
00:23:19How are you?
00:23:20Nice to see you.
00:23:21How are you feeling?
00:23:22I'm feeling good.
00:23:23Yeah? How's the baby doing?
00:23:24Amazing.
00:23:25Crawling?
00:23:26She's trying to walk already.
00:23:27She's in baby gymnastics.
00:23:29Okay.
00:23:30We're gonna...
00:23:31Oh, my word.
00:23:33Here we go again.
00:23:35Was this planned?
00:23:37Because I just never know.
00:23:38Justine, stop it.
00:23:39I mean, was it?
00:23:40You know exactly what you were doing, yes.
00:23:42You had the ovulating ab.
00:23:43You knew exactly what you were doing.
00:23:45Stop it.
00:23:46I didn't have an ovulating ab.
00:23:50This is number nine.
00:23:52Like we say,
00:23:53eight was great, but nine is fine.
00:23:55Yeah, nine's fine.
00:23:58See what's going on.
00:24:01Definitely a baby in there.
00:24:05When it comes down to this new pregnancy,
00:24:07the only people that really know what's going on
00:24:10are us and the children.
00:24:12We decided not to tell anybody
00:24:14just to keep the drama
00:24:16and the opinions and the swabs
00:24:19away from our situation,
00:24:22which is a very happy and excited situation.
00:24:25And my mother's not one, as you know,
00:24:27to just go with the flow.
00:24:29You're right.
00:24:30She's a peach.
00:24:31Oh, yeah, okay.
00:24:34I mean, how in the...
00:24:35You're around like 16, 17 weeks, yeah.
00:24:38Congratulations.
00:24:40Yeah.
00:24:41You're a big sissy.
00:24:44Is that what you think about that?
00:24:47Baby looks beautiful.
00:24:48Yeah.
00:24:49It's perfect.
00:24:50The next question is,
00:24:52do you want to know the gender?
00:24:54I want to know the gender.
00:24:56Do you want to know the gender?
00:24:57We should wait.
00:24:58No, we should not wait.
00:24:59I don't want to wait.
00:25:00I want to be able to start buying things.
00:25:03You ready?
00:25:05Hold on.
00:25:06Hold on.
00:25:08There you go.
00:25:09Mike.
00:25:10Mike, look it.
00:25:11Between the legs.
00:25:12Oh, my God.
00:25:14Is that what I'm looking at?
00:25:15So, I see a penis.
00:25:20Yay.
00:25:22Another boy.
00:25:23Maddie, you don't know what's going on.
00:25:25You don't know what's going on right now.
00:25:28So, congratulations.
00:25:30We're excited.
00:25:31But...
00:25:32Excited for what?
00:25:33I know, unfortunately, after the last baby,
00:25:34you know, they really recommended no more deliveries.
00:25:37With C-sections, it gets a little bit risky,
00:25:39especially this being number five.
00:25:41Usually, I recommend, you know,
00:25:42doing some kind of permanent birth control,
00:25:44like, after the third and definitely after the fourth.
00:25:46So, to have another one so soon is not that common.
00:25:49So, we just never know how things are going to go.
00:25:52So, there's a few things that we need to talk about.
00:25:54Have you thought about at all getting your tubes tied?
00:25:57No, it's definitely something I'm considering for sure.
00:26:00You know, I don't want to put myself in a dangerous situation.
00:26:03You know what I mean?
00:26:04Definitely some permanent sterilization,
00:26:05whether it's taking out your tubes,
00:26:07vasectomy for you.
00:26:08I mean, either option's a good option.
00:26:10We just want to make sure that, you know,
00:26:11this is your last pregnancy.
00:26:12Right.
00:26:13We don't need any more kids, man.
00:26:14We got the whole baseball team.
00:26:15Right, and so then the vasectomy shouldn't be too hard either.
00:26:18Yeah, but I just don't want my situation not working the right way.
00:26:23Yours is going to be fine.
00:26:24The tunnel's still there.
00:26:26We also have to be a little bit realistic here, okay?
00:26:28There's definitely some serious risks
00:26:29that are going to come with this pregnancy.
00:26:31Sometimes there can be life-threatening bleeding.
00:26:33We might have to transfuse you with blood.
00:26:35Sometimes we have to do an emergency hysterectomy
00:26:37where you could lose your uterus.
00:26:39One of the bigger risks, too, is how the placenta can grow.
00:26:41As that placenta gets bigger,
00:26:42it can invade into the walls of the uterus.
00:26:44It can go into the bladder,
00:26:45and that can be life-threatening as well.
00:26:48Like I said, this is a risky, brisky pregnancy.
00:26:50I'm very scared.
00:26:51Like, I'm not going to lie.
00:26:52I'm scared.
00:26:53And if something, hopefully not, were to happen to you,
00:26:56like, do you have a will and do you have things in order?
00:26:59I don't have a will.
00:27:01So usually you'll do work, like, paper with a lawyer.
00:27:04What would you want medically done?
00:27:06So would I want to be, you know, placed in a coma?
00:27:08Would I want to be intubated?
00:27:10Would I want to have a feeding tube?
00:27:11Like, when would I want them to withdraw life support
00:27:13if I wasn't surviving?
00:27:15Listen, if Justine died,
00:27:18I don't know what I would do.
00:27:20I don't think I'm strong enough
00:27:22to navigate this world without Justine.
00:27:29So this box can go.
00:27:31All right.
00:27:32Box number 75.
00:27:37Oops.
00:27:39Hopefully they have nothing breakable in there.
00:27:46I'm excited, Daddy-Ann.
00:27:49Oh.
00:27:52Do not sit on the box.
00:27:54I'm excited, baby.
00:27:55Do not sit on the box.
00:27:57I'm excited, baby.
00:27:58I'm excited, too.
00:27:59Relieved to learn.
00:28:00This is a big move, babe.
00:28:02I'm really happy that we're leaving,
00:28:05you know what I'm saying,
00:28:06and finally kind of, like, getting everything together.
00:28:09Me and Bre met in prison,
00:28:11and right now we are at a good point in our relationship,
00:28:16still engaged, engaged to be married.
00:28:19I love you.
00:28:21I love you more.
00:28:23Brittany, will you marry me?
00:28:28Okay, baby, you fell on me.
00:28:30Houston is probably going to be a really good move for us.
00:28:32The HVAC jobs out there are good.
00:28:35Beauty industry is good.
00:28:37I found this really dope nail school that I want to go to.
00:28:40We're on the move to Houston, Texas.
00:28:43I am so freaking excited.
00:28:45I'm just hoping that when we get there,
00:28:47we can really step up to do the things that we want in life.
00:28:51I already see him like my husband,
00:28:53but I think we deserve a big wedding.
00:28:56I love you more.
00:28:57Give me another kiss.
00:28:59Three. One for good luck.
00:29:01What I'm going to do is,
00:29:03I'm going to go get the car checked out.
00:29:05I just want to, you know,
00:29:06probably get a little oil change before we hit the road.
00:29:09It's finally happening.
00:29:10I've been out seven months.
00:29:12Me and Bre were about to make this huge, humongous move,
00:29:16and not only am I going and Bre,
00:29:19but I got my mama, I got my brother.
00:29:21We all going to Houston, so, like,
00:29:23it's definitely a big move for the family.
00:29:25I think it's going to be a fresh start for everything.
00:29:28I'm in a good spot right now.
00:29:30Yo, we ready to be out of here.
00:29:33Are you ready?
00:29:35Yes.
00:29:36Yeah, you are.
00:29:38Yeah.
00:29:40Yo, I'm telling you, yo, we here.
00:29:44I love you.
00:29:45Yo, we here.
00:29:47Just seven months ago, I was in a cell.
00:29:49Yeah.
00:29:50Now look, look how good God is, man.
00:29:52I know.
00:29:53I've been out of prison a little over a year.
00:29:56When I came home, I thought it was going to be easy peasy,
00:29:59but it is really freaking hard out here, yo,
00:30:02trying to start your life from nothing,
00:30:04especially as a felon.
00:30:06You ready for me to text?
00:30:07We on our way to Texas tomorrow, man,
00:30:09so definitely a little oil change,
00:30:11then we good to go.
00:30:12Okay.
00:30:13Hello?
00:30:14May I speak with DRock, please?
00:30:16Yes, this is me.
00:30:17I'm calling on behalf of Officer ******,
00:30:20who I know you've been working with on your parole.
00:30:23Yeah, yeah.
00:30:25Unfortunately, today I'm not calling with very good news.
00:30:29It is up to the state of Texas to approve or deny,
00:30:33and as of the current moment,
00:30:35they have not granted approval for our request for reporting
00:30:39to the state of Texas.
00:30:41They have not granted approval for our request
00:30:43for reporting instructions,
00:30:45which means you do not have approval by the state of Texas
00:30:49to travel or relocate there.
00:30:52Damn it, man.
00:30:58Yo, baby.
00:30:59How did I do?
00:31:00The sex was everything that I hoped it would be.
00:31:04He kind of just wanted to stick it in.
00:31:08Some of this stuff is new, but the kids are not going to use it
00:31:11because they got the ones for Christmas.
00:31:13What do you think I can sell that for?
00:31:15I would definitely put $3 or $4.
00:31:23Let's see what else we got.
00:31:24Make a pile for the boys' clothes.
00:31:26Yeah.
00:31:27So how's Joey doing?
00:31:29Good.
00:31:30No?
00:31:31Like, he's really stepped into the daddy role.
00:31:33That's awesome.
00:31:34Joey has been home from prison for about two months now,
00:31:38and for the first month, every turn,
00:31:41there was something that we have going on.
00:31:43I have told you a hundred times, like,
00:31:45you have got to stop spending money.
00:31:46I want to do something for myself.
00:31:47You did enough for yourself.
00:31:48That's how you ended up where you were.
00:31:50You know, he whistled at me outside.
00:31:53And I think he's going to play.
00:31:56Once a cheater, always a cheater.
00:31:58I know that he loves me, but your girl's got to be happy.
00:32:01I know that he loves me, but your girl's got trust issues.
00:32:05I've married liars in the past.
00:32:07I don't want to make that mistake again.
00:32:10I mean, there's just toys and clothes and stuff everywhere.
00:32:13And this is not even half of it, because, I mean,
00:32:16I have the stuff at home, too.
00:32:17Right, right.
00:32:18But it's a lot.
00:32:20Daddy's getting tired of storing my stuff.
00:32:22You've got good stuff, though.
00:32:24You should be able to have a really good yard sale.
00:32:26I'm hoping so, because we have got to get some money together
00:32:30so we can make, like, a down payment on this house.
00:32:32Right, right.
00:32:33Whichever one we figure out.
00:32:34OK.
00:32:35Joey and I are buying a house for my babies.
00:32:38I mean, our lease is up.
00:32:40But a house payment is going to be about $1,500 a month.
00:32:44And, like, you have to put down 3.5%.
00:32:46I'm hoping my fiancé will start helping me soon.
00:32:49I hope your fiancé starts helping, too.
00:32:52My game plan to afford a house is work like hell,
00:32:56selling baby clothes, selling toys,
00:32:58and make Joey get a job.
00:33:01Good job, girl.
00:33:02You stay on it.
00:33:04Make sure he's on the right track.
00:33:06Yeah.
00:33:07Speaking of track.
00:33:10You tracking him?
00:33:11All the time.
00:33:13OK.
00:33:14Is he where he's supposed to be?
00:33:16He sure is.
00:33:17Well, good.
00:33:18I need to get to a point where I do trust him,
00:33:20but I don't know how long this will take.
00:33:22That's right.
00:33:23He's got to be consistent.
00:33:25I track Joey all the time because Joey's an addict.
00:33:28I need to know that he's doing the right thing.
00:33:32We got to drop Kyler off first, OK?
00:33:35Kaycen, you going to get a smiley face today?
00:33:38Yeah.
00:33:39What are you going to learn today?
00:33:43Letters?
00:33:44Do you think you could write my name?
00:33:48You're smart, aren't you?
00:33:50I'm in fool daddy mode.
00:33:52Like, I get them up in the morning, get them ready,
00:33:55take them to school, pick them up from school,
00:33:58usually go get something to eat after school.
00:34:00Kimberly, she's done so much by herself.
00:34:03Like, she deserves somebody to help her, you know?
00:34:06Be good boy for Miss Haley.
00:34:09See you later.
00:34:11What makes mine and Kimberly's relationship unique
00:34:14is that we've known each other for pretty much all our life.
00:34:19You think your hair looks like mine?
00:34:22Look, when mine's grown out just a little bit longer,
00:34:24does mine look like yours?
00:34:26It does, don't it?
00:34:28Kimberly and I were having sex in 2018.
00:34:33At that time, she got pregnant.
00:34:36And then I went to prison.
00:34:39Do you think you look like me?
00:34:41You do, don't you?
00:34:45But she also had sex with her ex,
00:34:48but they weren't married or anything.
00:34:50So, I mean, I could be Kaysen's father.
00:34:56I want Kaysen to be mine,
00:34:58so I actually bought a paternity test,
00:35:00so I'll know for sure.
00:35:02When I drop Kaysen off at school,
00:35:04sometimes I look back in the mirror,
00:35:07and I look at him, and he'll look at me,
00:35:09and, like, I see something in his eyes sometimes almost.
00:35:12I mean, we have been getting a DNA test in the past.
00:35:15Like, we might as well go ahead and do it, you know?
00:35:17I just think it's a good possibility he's my son.
00:35:20We've already been hit with so many obstacles.
00:35:23I'm hoping everything just goes smooth.
00:35:25It's all gonna come together.
00:35:28It'll be okay.
00:35:33Where are you going?
00:35:34I don't know.
00:35:35People say they want you to be honest.
00:35:37Stop!
00:35:38Go in the house.
00:35:39When you tell them the truth, they get triggered.
00:35:41Try!
00:35:42I don't know.
00:35:44Even if this was your second C-section,
00:35:46we would have liked you to wait two years between babies.
00:35:48We need to be a little bit realistic here, okay?
00:35:50There's definitely some serious risks
00:35:51that are gonna come with this pregnancy.
00:35:53If something hopefully not were to happen to you,
00:35:55like, do you have a will and do you have things in order?
00:35:58What would you want medically done?
00:36:00Would I want to have a feeding tube?
00:36:01Like, when would I want them to withdraw life support
00:36:03if I wasn't surviving?
00:36:09If you agree on them,
00:36:10then he can make those decisions for you,
00:36:11but if you feel like he won't make the same decisions as you,
00:36:13then you need to put it in writing.
00:36:14Okay.
00:36:15Yeah.
00:36:16I don't feel like...
00:36:17I don't feel like you would make the same decisions as me.
00:36:19I think that you would think, like,
00:36:21that's my wife and I want to keep her around,
00:36:23whereas I don't want a feeding tube.
00:36:24I don't want to do any of those things.
00:36:25Yeah.
00:36:26I'm sorry.
00:36:27If you feel that way.
00:36:28I don't like that.
00:36:29It's one of those things we don't want to think about,
00:36:31but it's important that you do with a risky pregnancy like this.
00:36:34Right, right.
00:36:36Like, how does my daily life play into any of that, or does it?
00:36:39Like, as far as, like, how much rest should I be getting?
00:36:42Because I'm constantly feeling, like, out of breath.
00:36:46Yeah.
00:36:47And I'm constantly, I'm tired, really tired.
00:36:49You're short of breath, you're tired, your back hurts,
00:36:51and you're making a baby, and this is high risk.
00:36:53So you just need to, like, tell yourself and tell the kiddos,
00:36:55like, I have to have boundaries, I need to take a break,
00:36:58I need you to help me with this.
00:36:59And it's okay if the house is messy,
00:37:01it's okay if you eat off paper plates.
00:37:02Just listen to your body.
00:37:03You know, if you have any bleeding, you're in severe pain,
00:37:05you can't breathe, I want you to go to the emergency room right away, okay?
00:37:08Okay, thank you.
00:37:09Congratulations.
00:37:10We'll see you in a few weeks, okay?
00:37:11Thank you so much.
00:37:12Congratulations.
00:37:13Bye.
00:37:20I never took the time to think about my health.
00:37:23So all of the complications that she says that I'm now facing
00:37:27are really catching me off guard.
00:37:29I'm only 36 years old.
00:37:31Like, I'm genuinely scared.
00:37:33I wasn't expecting them to say all those things.
00:37:36This is my woman.
00:37:37This is the woman I love.
00:37:38This is the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with.
00:37:40I didn't know that in a couple months,
00:37:42it could be the last time that I see her.
00:37:44It's devastating.
00:37:46It's not a good feeling.
00:37:49I know that this is a lot to take in.
00:37:53But if anything goes wrong in that room, don't be stupid.
00:37:57Don't stand around for me.
00:37:59Leave.
00:38:01You follow the baby, you go with the baby.
00:38:03I don't even want to hear that.
00:38:05Well, you know what?
00:38:06It doesn't matter if you want to hear it or not.
00:38:08It needs to be discussed because it's what's really going on.
00:38:11Go finish the rest of the job.
00:38:16To even hear you say that is just crazy.
00:38:19Why is that crazy?
00:38:23I just don't want to lose you.
00:38:25I know you don't want to lose me.
00:38:27I don't want to lose you either.
00:38:29But I don't want to live and know that he's not going to be here.
00:38:34You wouldn't want that version of me.
00:38:36I'm a mom.
00:38:42I know you feel different, man. I'm sorry.
00:38:46A long, long, long time ago,
00:38:48I chose that when I had kids that they were going to be coming first.
00:38:52And that started with Kylie and it's going to end with him.
00:38:58Yeah.
00:39:01I want Mike to go with the baby.
00:39:03I do not want him sitting there choosing me.
00:39:14Isn't that the point of being a parent in the first place?
00:39:25They're my choice and they're always going to be my choice.
00:39:30Yeah.
00:39:34Yeah.
00:39:40You're going to f***ing piss me off.
00:39:42Do you know how much I've done for you?
00:39:44I spent like eight grand to move out here.
00:39:48It is up to the state of Texas to approve or deny.
00:39:53And as of the current moment,
00:39:55you do not have approval by the state of Texas to travel or relocate there.
00:40:01Damn it, man.
00:40:07Dude, I done packed my whole family up.
00:40:09I packed my whole life up.
00:40:11I quit my job.
00:40:16Why wouldn't I?
00:40:17Why wouldn't I? Because there would be no reason for us to get denied.
00:40:20Listen, all right?
00:40:22Me and my fiancé have done everything right in probation.
00:40:25Babe.
00:40:26Anytime we've ever had a yawn screen, anything,
00:40:29I've always passed with flying colors.
00:40:31So did she, so I'm trying to understand why did it get denied?
00:40:35Kirok.
00:40:36There's nothing that we've done wrong.
00:40:38We have done everything right.
00:40:39Kirok, what's going on?
00:40:42We got denied.
00:40:44Denied for the move?
00:40:45Yeah.
00:40:47Why did they deny us?
00:40:48I don't know.
00:40:50Let me speak to them.
00:40:52Let me speak to them.
00:40:53I'm going to let you know our next steps.
00:40:55So your parole officer is going to send a request to the state of Texas
00:41:01to expedite the transfer.
00:41:04But as of right now, it could take up to 30 days for that appeal.
00:41:09I don't have 30 days, sir.
00:41:11I don't have 30 days.
00:41:13Give me the phone.
00:41:14Excuse me.
00:41:15Please.
00:41:16I don't have 30 days.
00:41:17You have two people.
00:41:18You need to know how to talk.
00:41:19Here.
00:41:20Hello.
00:41:21This is Brittany.
00:41:22This is Brittany.
00:41:23Kirok's a little frustrated right now.
00:41:25We have to be out of our house.
00:41:27There's nowhere else for us to live.
00:41:30Like, we're going to be homeless.
00:41:32It's crazy because Virginia's okay with us moving.
00:41:36But the state of Texas denied us.
00:41:39This is more money.
00:41:40More money and more money.
00:41:41More money, more problems.
00:41:43I put the first month deposit down.
00:41:45The U-Haul, the furniture.
00:41:47I got all my ducks in a row.
00:41:49All my family is packing up to go.
00:41:53This is a nightmare.
00:41:56What I can do is offer to place you in a government-provided motel room.
00:42:02Okay.
00:42:04You said we have 30 days to know, so it's not a complete no, right?
00:42:10It is up to the state of Texas to review.
00:42:13In the meantime, I'll send you the information for a space.
00:42:19Okay, thank you.
00:42:22We are on probation for a while.
00:42:24With us putting the transferring together,
00:42:26I think they see us as two felons.
00:42:29And what are they going to come and do over here
00:42:31instead of, okay, what a nice couple trying to come and start their life.
00:42:36So what are we going to do?
00:42:38I'm from here.
00:42:39I know what government-provided stuff look like.
00:42:41But if it's livable for us, we need to save our money.
00:42:45We're going to get through it. It's okay.
00:42:47I know.
00:42:48I feel like I failed.
00:42:49I know. You didn't fail. It's not your fault.
00:42:51It's okay. It's going to be okay.
00:42:54Just me being the man, the provider, the protector right now,
00:42:57I got to make sure we get there.
00:43:00I got to figure out what I got to do.
00:43:02Calm down.
00:43:12I love you.
00:43:15I love you too.
00:43:16That was my morning breath.
00:43:19You hungry?
00:43:20Yeah.
00:43:21Yeah?
00:43:27I haven't cooked in a long time.
00:43:29That's why I'm excited.
00:43:32We line this with oil?
00:43:33You can, yeah.
00:43:36Seeing Daniel in person, he's kind of skinnier than I had imagined.
00:43:42He has muscles.
00:43:44He's hot, but he looks skinnier.
00:43:48I slept good. I haven't slept that good in a while, honestly.
00:43:51He catfished me.
00:43:54Just a little bit.
00:43:57After five years, I haven't had sex.
00:44:00Okay.
00:44:01How did I do?
00:44:04Be honest.
00:44:05You were good.
00:44:06The sex was everything that I hoped it would be.
00:44:10The sex wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't the best.
00:44:16I melted into her.
00:44:18He kind of just wanted to stick it in.
00:44:20We were finally able to just stare into each other's eyes and hold each other.
00:44:25He just got out of prison.
00:44:26Like, I have to cut him some slack, honestly.
00:44:30How are you anticipating our day, baby?
00:44:32We have to go to the parole.
00:44:34Yeah.
00:44:35Figure out what's going on and see if he can even stay here.
00:44:38He holds all the cards.
00:44:40Sorry, this address isn't going to work.
00:44:42I guess I'm going halfway, huh?
00:44:44It's not fair.
00:44:45Why not?
00:44:46Because I moved all the way out here, and if you can't even live with me, it's going to piss me off.
00:44:52I spent 12 grand just to talk to you, and then I spent eight grand to move out here.
00:44:57You must be something special.
00:44:59I mean, you are special, yeah, but that's what we have to do to have a relationship.
00:45:04The amount of money that Bianca spent just to stay communicated with me
00:45:09shows me how much level of commitment she had.
00:45:12Hopefully, I'm going to get a job.
00:45:14I'm going to be working.
00:45:15You know, that does mean I'm going to contribute, too.
00:45:19You better contribute.
00:45:21Well, yeah.
00:45:23What did I say right now?
00:45:25Yeah, I know.
00:45:27I was just saying, like, you better contribute, yeah.
00:45:29I agree, totally.
00:45:31A little sass.
00:45:33This better be every morning.
00:45:35What?
00:45:36Cooking for me.
00:45:37Is it good? Do you like it that much?
00:45:40I mean, it's breakfast, and you made me, you know?
00:45:44Yeah.
00:45:45Is the coffee done?
00:45:46Yeah.
00:45:48Go ahead.
00:45:49It's over there.
00:45:50No, you get it.
00:45:51I'm not thirsty.
00:45:53Please?
00:45:54I'm not thirsty.
00:45:55Please!
00:45:56Baby, go get your coffee.
00:45:57You're making me breakfast.
00:45:58You literally cannot even, like, pour the coffee for me and put milk in it?
00:46:01That's it.
00:46:02Please?
00:46:03I'm sitting here.
00:46:08No, that pisses me off.
00:46:12Do you know, like, how much I've done for you?
00:46:14You can't even make me a cup of coffee.
00:46:16Don't throw that in my face, ever.
00:46:18That ain't right.
00:46:20How's that not right?
00:46:22Why did you do those things?
00:46:24Because I love you.
00:46:26So why would you use that to make me feel bad?
00:46:29To do something for you as a manipulation?
00:46:31That's not right.
00:46:32I think you're being dramatic.
00:46:34No, that's real.
00:46:36Look at me.
00:46:37I don't think so.
00:46:38I don't need to.
00:46:39Look at me.
00:46:42That wasn't right.
00:46:45Why are you so triggered?
00:46:48I owe you, baby.
00:46:49I owe you my life.
00:46:50I love you.
00:46:52But don't try to manipulate me like that.
00:46:54I'm not hungry.
00:46:58Daniel's being really selfish and extremely rude.
00:47:01If something so small like getting me a cup of coffee
00:47:04is gonna cause such a big argument between us,
00:47:08I wonder what else is gonna piss him off.
00:47:11We're learning each other, so it's fine.
00:47:14Give me a kiss.
00:47:15Come here.
00:47:18Love you.
00:47:19Love you, too.
00:47:25I have to tell you something.
00:47:27You playing a f***ing joke on me right now?
00:47:29You playing a f***ing joke on me right now?
00:47:32At the end of the day, when Teenie ain't gonna be there,
00:47:34I'm gonna be there.
00:47:35What makes you think that I wouldn't be?
00:47:36Can I finish with my son?
00:47:37What is your problem with me?
00:47:39I don't give a f***!
00:47:41This is like a mood board.
00:47:43So I'm thinking, like, garden, enchanted, forest-y.
00:47:48Babe, this is beautiful.
00:47:49I just get so excited.
00:47:55I'm thinking we gotta get started, babe.
00:47:57I want my time.
00:47:58I wanna put on a wedding dress.
00:48:00I never even tried on a wedding dress,
00:48:02and I've been married three years.
00:48:04Troy and I got married during the pandemic.
00:48:07We had to stay six feet apart.
00:48:10We couldn't kiss.
00:48:12It just feels as though I've been robbed
00:48:15of having that dream wedding day.
00:48:18But first, there's something that I need to tell Troy.
00:48:24I have to tell you something.
00:48:26Okay.
00:48:27What is it, Zaria?
00:48:29I got a text message.
00:48:34And, I mean, I'll just let you read it.
00:48:36A text message from who?
00:48:41Hi, we have not received rent for May or June at Syracuse.
00:48:47Please make payment ASAP before we need to add late fees.
00:48:53So...
00:48:54Hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:48:59Rent for May and June.
00:49:01We ain't pay rent for May and June for what?
00:49:04This is for Project Q.
00:49:09There was a problem with a contract and the invoicing,
00:49:14and our invoice got delayed.
00:49:17I had just enough to pay the therapist, but that was it.
00:49:21And there's some other bills that I wasn't able to pay.
00:49:23I wasn't able to pay the office rent.
00:49:25So, you know, we won't be able to be at the office
00:49:29until I get that straightened out.
00:49:32You playing **** on me right now?
00:49:34Troy, I'm not.
00:49:35I'm, no, I'm so serious.
00:49:38I've kept our financial dealings a little under wraps.
00:49:43Prior to him coming home, there was so much going on
00:49:46with his emotions being high.
00:49:48And I just felt as though I could figure it out myself.
00:49:52But we have about $7,000 in debt.
00:49:57Now that we have a problem, what is our solution?
00:50:01What are you...
00:50:02I have no idea. I've never gone through this before.
00:50:05And this is not only just your payment,
00:50:07but it's my payment too.
00:50:08So we have no checks coming in.
00:50:10So the rent that's due in a couple weeks
00:50:12for our own personal rent,
00:50:14I only paid up, up until this month.
00:50:17So we don't have no money.
00:50:20Grant funding is much different
00:50:23than the basic paycheck to paycheck.
00:50:26We have to create a budget.
00:50:28In that budget, we have different expenses.
00:50:31We then have to create an invoice,
00:50:33submit the invoice, wait 30 days,
00:50:36and then there's a payment.
00:50:38So it's a learning process,
00:50:40not only for you, but for me as well.
00:50:42You know, we're not being able to get our paychecks as well.
00:50:46What the **** are we supposed to do?
00:50:48We still got to eat, we still got to clothe,
00:50:50we still got to drive.
00:50:51Like, what the **** are we going to do?
00:50:53I did everything I could, Troy, to avoid this.
00:50:58I might as well just jump right back
00:51:00into the **** trees at this point.
00:51:02Troy, come on now.
00:51:03Epidetically speaking right now,
00:51:05how are we supposed to...
00:51:07What, we just going to sit here?
00:51:08All right, well, let's twiddle our thumbs
00:51:09and let's play in the bed
00:51:11and let's just not do **** about it.
00:51:12How about that?
00:51:13I'm not saying that.
00:51:14I'm bringing it to your attention
00:51:16because we've gotten to the point
00:51:17where I have to let you know now.
00:51:19Attention?
00:51:20You should have been showing me that message.
00:51:23I just feel, like, very, very disrespected.
00:51:26About a year ago,
00:51:28there was infidelity in our marriage
00:51:30on Zaria's behalf.
00:51:32So coming from that,
00:51:33and now my wife's not telling me about the rent.
00:51:37What else are you not telling me?
00:51:39Don't keep **** from me, don't hide **** from me
00:51:41because if I find out about it now,
00:51:43we're going to have an issue.
00:51:45Why didn't we get all the funding
00:51:46that we were supposed to get?
00:51:47We did what we were supposed to do.
00:51:48You submitted everything that we were supposed to get.
00:51:50That's what happens with grants.
00:51:51All right, so I make you not want to do this ****?
00:51:53If it's not guaranteed,
00:51:54why I want to keep doing this thing?
00:51:55Troy, do you think that having a non-profit
00:51:57is going to be easy?
00:51:58It's a non-profit.
00:51:59It's not a business.
00:52:00All right, so let me tell you this.
00:52:01You don't get anything from it.
00:52:02Let me tell you this.
00:52:03Tell your doctors and tell your therapists that
00:52:05and see if they're going to work for **** free
00:52:07and see if they don't try to go
00:52:08and figure something out, too.
00:52:09What are you talking about?
00:52:10Troy, where are you going?
00:52:11I don't know, but sitting here talking to you
00:52:13as I'm getting more and more aggravated,
00:52:15it's just like, damn.
00:52:16I didn't expect all this to be going on.
00:52:19I just want to have a conversation.
00:52:21I want him to hear me out.
00:52:22People say they want you to be honest.
00:52:24They don't want you to be honest
00:52:25because when you tell them the truth,
00:52:27they get triggered.
00:52:28You think somebody's just going to give you
00:52:29money off the streets?
00:52:30How are you going to get the money?
00:52:31I'm not going to ask nobody to give me anything.
00:52:33I'm going to go and figure it out.
00:52:34It look like you're about to go and do something else.
00:52:36Who gives a **** to Troy, though?
00:52:38Where are you going?
00:52:39Zaria.
00:52:40Zaria.
00:52:41Whatever it is that you need to do for the day,
00:52:43you take care of that,
00:52:44and let me take care of my business.
00:52:46Troy, where are you going?
00:52:48I got a pen for us,
00:52:49so let me do the **** I need to do.
00:52:51Bye.
00:52:52Troy!
00:52:53Listen, yo, listen.
00:52:54Stop!
00:52:55Go in the house.
00:53:01Troy!
00:53:02Going to the streets in all black and a pink durag
00:53:05is not the answer.
00:53:07That's not going to get you anywhere,
00:53:09because you know why?
00:53:10If I'm on the street, I'm going to be like,
00:53:11who's this guy?
00:53:12He looks like he's going to rob somebody.
00:53:14You got an ankle monitor.
00:53:15You're telling everybody that you're basically a felon,
00:53:19and you think that you're going to go get some money?
00:53:21Be smart.
00:53:24I just left the house.
00:53:25I need you to come and pick me up.
00:53:28I got to holler at you.
00:53:29We got to figure something out.
00:53:31I'm striving and fighting in my mind to stay positive,
00:53:35but you got that other side of me that is saying,
00:53:38you know, you can get this money real quick,
00:53:40get it out the way, pay your bills,
00:53:42make sure you get caught up.
00:53:45Sometimes you got to do wrong things for right reasons.
00:53:52I love you.
00:53:53But how do I explain to him
00:53:54the dad that he had is just a flop,
00:53:56and he's not really your daddy anymore?
00:54:04I don't know.
00:54:08I got to get up.
00:54:09We got kids.
00:54:10I'm going back to sleep.
00:54:12I love you.
00:54:13I love you, too.
00:54:21You got so much stuff to do.
00:54:23I got a lot going on right now.
00:54:25It feels really good to be able to lay down in the bed
00:54:27with Kimberly.
00:54:28I love her more than anything in this world.
00:54:31Kayson deserves to know if I'm his daddy,
00:54:34and I want to know if he's mine or not, you know?
00:54:39What about the DNA test, though?
00:54:43I mean, I know that you want to know,
00:54:45but, like, do we have to know right now?
00:54:47We just have so much going on.
00:54:48Yeah, we need to do it now.
00:54:50We had sex several times around that time that you can see,
00:54:53so what are the chances, you know?
00:54:55Like, I would think it's more a chance of mine than his.
00:54:58You sound like you're pretty sure.
00:55:00I mean, I'm not sure at all, but I just want to know.
00:55:05Like, what if it does come back and he's yours?
00:55:07Then the Kayson's mine.
00:55:09That's not, it's not that simple.
00:55:11Yeah, it is.
00:55:12It's not, though.
00:55:13All you have to do is swab Kayson's and send it off.
00:55:17So you're really ready to do this?
00:55:19Yeah, I've been ready to do this.
00:55:21In 2018, Joey had just gotten out of prison.
00:55:24I had just found out that my ex-husband had an affair,
00:55:27and I was pissed.
00:55:28So Joey and I got together for a month or two.
00:55:30Then I found out I was pregnant,
00:55:32and Joey went straight back to prison.
00:55:34So I stayed with my ex.
00:55:35Kayson has no idea.
00:55:37My ex-husband has no idea.
00:55:39We've made it five and a half years without knowing the truth.
00:55:42Ignorance is bliss.
00:55:44So when do you want to do a test?
00:55:46Do we have to go get one?
00:55:48I've got a test for you.
00:55:49Seriously?
00:55:51It seems like she just keeps putting it off,
00:55:53like, just do it now, get it over with,
00:55:55so we can start making plans for it in the future.
00:55:57I love the boys more than anything in this world.
00:55:59I would never do anything to hurt them.
00:56:03Kayson's in the other room.
00:56:05I'm right here.
00:56:06And there's your DNA test.
00:56:10Are you okay?
00:56:12I got to take it.
00:56:13He's got to take it.
00:56:14You don't have to do anything.
00:56:15You just sit back and enjoy the show.
00:56:17That's what you do, okay?
00:56:19What are you going to tell him you're doing?
00:56:21I'm going to tell him we're making sure he don't have COVID.
00:56:24Kayson, come here real quick.
00:56:26Look, we're all checking for COVID, okay?
00:56:29I got to check you next.
00:56:30Don't do it on me, okay?
00:56:33For Kayson, I don't know what the best answer for him is.
00:56:36Like, how do I explain to him?
00:56:38The dad that he had is just a flop,
00:56:40and he's not really your daddy anyway.
00:56:41Like, he's five.
00:56:43Seven, eight, nine, ten.
00:56:46See how easy that was?
00:56:48I'm so sorry.
00:56:49Okay, Mommy, big hugs.
00:56:50Here we go.
00:56:51We got it.
00:56:53All we needed.
00:56:54I love you.
00:56:56Thank you for being a big boy.
00:56:59Like, this is hard.
00:57:01Put this stuff in the mailbox.
00:57:04But at the same time, like, it's really not fair
00:57:06for me to continue to do this to Joey.
00:57:08So I guess now's as good as never.
00:57:17Everybody deserves to know the truth.
00:57:20I mean, everybody.
00:57:22I think.
00:57:23This is honestly one of my life's biggest secrets.
00:57:27Are you okay?
00:57:29I love you.
00:57:45It's gone.
00:57:48Joey doesn't deal well with disappointment.
00:57:50Depending on the answer to this,
00:57:51it's gonna change our whole life.
00:57:53I mean, everything's on the line right now.
00:57:56We're gonna find out in a couple weeks
00:57:58if I'm the D-A-D-D-Y.
00:58:08What time did you tell him to be here?
00:58:09About, what, 1.30?
00:58:11Uh, yeah.
00:58:14Mama made it.
00:58:21She made it.
00:58:23Hi, yes.
00:58:25Nice to see you.
00:58:27What is this?
00:58:28Where's everybody at?
00:58:29Uh, everyone's, uh.
00:58:31Everyone's doing other things.
00:58:32A lot of people couldn't make it.
00:58:33Yeah.
00:58:34Your mom and everybody here?
00:58:36No.
00:58:37Just to see a body actually walk through that door was nice.
00:58:40I'm just happy it's my mom and not Rob's mom.
00:58:44We knew Mama was coming for sure.
00:58:45Out of everyone that was invited,
00:58:46I see you the most.
00:58:47Well, I wouldn't have missed it.
00:58:48And then my friend Rochelle walks in.
00:58:50Hi!
00:58:51Look!
00:58:53So, at least a few friendly, familiar faces are here.
00:58:56I'm gonna go ahead and get me a drink real quick.
00:58:58I will join you.
00:58:59Do you want something, baby?
00:59:00I don't need my purse.
00:59:01Uh, yeah.
00:59:02Whatever I need.
00:59:03Okay, gotcha.
00:59:04Thank y'all for coming so much.
00:59:06How you been doing?
00:59:07I'm good.
00:59:08I'm out.
00:59:10I don't know.
00:59:11I know for Rob, it's probably a little disappointing.
00:59:15But that was good.
00:59:16Like, that was part of why I showed up.
00:59:18I was thinking I'd get changed, so.
00:59:20Yeah.
00:59:24Rob has seen his mom a few times since he's been released.
00:59:28It went good at first, and then she got mad at Rob, per usual.
00:59:32Just a little bite.
00:59:33I think it's just hard for him.
00:59:35In the six years that I went to go visit Rob every weekend,
00:59:39his family came with me to visit him once.
00:59:42He'll be good.
00:59:43He's on the right track.
00:59:44I never really doubted it, though.
00:59:45That's why his mom and him should be really proud of him.
00:59:47And he needs that extra support.
00:59:50Welcome home.
00:59:51Welcome home.
00:59:52Woo-hoo!
00:59:53He might seem like he's fine,
00:59:55but in all reality, he's longing for his mama's support.
00:59:59I see it.
01:00:01Everyone has a life to live.
01:00:02I get it.
01:00:03You know, but then it just kind of...
01:00:05Like, I've seen...
01:00:06Sometimes I've seen the disappointment in Rob's eyes.
01:00:10Okay, we got you a cake.
01:00:12Whoa!
01:00:13I didn't know I had a cake.
01:00:14And we decorated it ourselves.
01:00:15It says, welcome home.
01:00:18And then it has his number.
01:00:20What is it?
01:00:21Your DLC number.
01:00:22My DLC number?
01:00:23Yes!
01:00:24I really appreciate y'all.
01:00:25This is like...
01:00:26Y'all put it in his mouth.
01:00:30Y'all think you want some more?
01:00:31No.
01:00:32You want some?
01:00:33No!
01:00:35My grandma, she kept telling me to smash it in his face.
01:00:39Baby, you have to have a bite.
01:00:40Yeah, okay.
01:00:41It was real funny.
01:00:42But I'm mad because we took a lot of heart, sweat, and tears to make that cake.
01:00:49That cake was good.
01:00:50Hello!
01:00:54Hey, Michael.
01:00:55Hey!
01:00:57You didn't think I was gonna show up, bitch?
01:00:59We really didn't, to be honest.
01:01:00We didn't know.
01:01:05Whoa, I didn't expect my mom to come.
01:01:07I was just thinking she was just like everyone else.
01:01:10She couldn't make it.
01:01:14I did not expect Rob's mom to show up.
01:01:17But, you know, she's here, so that's fine.
01:01:24Well, I'm gonna get a drink and let the mamas meet.
01:01:27Come on, kids.
01:01:28Mama, this is my mama.
01:01:30Charlaine.
01:01:31It's a pleasure to meet you.
01:01:32Your hair is beautiful.
01:01:34Love it.
01:01:35So, how's the food?
01:01:36Um, good.
01:01:37Mama, give me a hug.
01:01:38I love you.
01:01:39We've been good.
01:01:40Just enjoying the welcome home party.
01:01:43A lot of people didn't show up, so...
01:01:46I'm glad you showed up.
01:01:47Right, I'm glad I showed up.
01:01:48I'm here for you, but, man, you need to talk.
01:01:52I don't like the way you've been treating me.
01:01:54You know what I mean?
01:01:55Like, I feel so distant.
01:01:57Like, you don't spend time with me.
01:01:58You don't do nothing.
01:01:59Like, what did I do?
01:02:00I just think don't nobody know what I'm going through mentally, Mama.
01:02:03This is something new to me.
01:02:04I was locked up almost 17 years.
01:02:07So, you're my mother, and I thank you for everything you've ever done for me.
01:02:10I always loved you.
01:02:11But I'm older now, and I have, like, I have this down here.
01:02:16I get it.
01:02:17I get it.
01:02:18But at the end of the day, when Tini ain't going to be there, I'm going to be there.
01:02:23Why do you think I wouldn't be there?
01:02:24No, I'm saying if you wouldn't.
01:02:25I mean, at the end of the day, when Tini ain't going to be there, I'm going to be there.
01:02:31Why do you think I wouldn't be there?
01:02:32No, I'm saying if you wouldn't.
01:02:33I mean, I don't know.
01:02:35I'm just hypothetically speaking.
01:02:37Well, per se, even when Tini's not there, what makes you think that I wouldn't be?
01:02:40I just made a comment.
01:02:42I can't make no comment.
01:02:43It ain't nothing to do with me.
01:02:44Well, then it's to say a matter of time.
01:02:45If me, possibly.
01:02:46Wait, wait, wait.
01:02:47Can I finish?
01:02:48You are my son.
01:02:49LaRocque, what I'm trying to say is you just basically left us to take care of a whole
01:02:53other family and just.
01:02:54I'm going to go over here and get a drink real quick.
01:02:56So, why would you do that?
01:02:57Bye.
01:02:58Have a good day.
01:02:59Why would you do that?
01:03:00Hey, what is your problem with me, man?
01:03:01No, no, no.
01:03:02No, no, no.
01:03:03No, no, no.
01:03:05Stop!
01:03:06Stop!
01:03:07Stop!
01:03:08Stop!
01:03:09Stop!
01:03:10Stop!
01:03:11Oh, no.
01:03:12I love you.
01:03:13Oh, bitch.
01:03:14Oh.
01:03:16This season on Life After Lockup.
01:03:19I'm so excited.
01:03:21I love you.
01:03:23I love you so much.
01:03:25Say hi to your sister.
01:03:26I always wanted a big brother.
01:03:28I have baby fever, really bad.
01:03:31I don't believe her anymore.
01:03:33There's something that I haven't told you.
01:03:36She acts like she's so smart.
01:03:38Let's go, man. I need to go, yo.
01:03:40I'm tired of this.
01:03:41We can't even talk.
01:03:42All right, bye.
01:03:43The disrespect, that scares me.
01:03:44We got a problem.
01:03:45Oh, my God.
01:03:46Babe, I have to tell you something.
01:03:48I didn't even think it was in her character.
01:03:50You talk to the lawyer.
01:03:52I don't like him.
01:03:53Why did you ask me to marry you?
01:03:55I was being an idiot.
01:03:56Okay, then we don't have to be together.
01:03:57That's insane.
01:03:58Why the f*** are they doing this s*** to us?
01:04:00I just need a f***ing minute.
01:04:01Stop f***ing playing with me.
01:04:02I don't want to do anything with you.
01:04:03You know the s*** I'm talking about.
01:04:05F*** you, Taney.
01:04:07I can't breathe.
01:04:08I'm questioning everything.
01:04:10He ain't thinking anymore.
