Tonight's 16 and Pregnant was a long episode. It was advertised as a "super-sized" episode, and it was 90 minutes long, as opposed to the normal 60 minutes.
Tonight's episode featured Leah, a cheerleader and incoming high school senior from Elkview, West Virginia, who learns she's having twins. She had only been with her boyfriend, Corey, for a month before she got pregnant.
She learns she is having fraternal twin girls. After her baby shower with her close-knit group of friends, she gets very sick and has some contractions. She goes to the hospital and stays for a few days. After her contractions die down, she is discharged, but ordered to bed rest until after the girls are born. She and Corey move in together.
6 weeks before her due date, Leah goes into labor. She had been staying with her mom for a few days to avoid arguing with Corey, but he comes to support her. She gives birth to twin girls that she names Aliannah and Aleeah. Three days after their birth, Leah is discharged, but the girls have to stay at the hospital for 3 weeks. When they can finally come home, Corey gets two jobs and Leah returns to school. She spends some time with her ex-boyfriend, Robbie, which doesn't sit well with Corey. They argue frequently over her spending time with him. Leah even pointed out that "jealousy will tear them apart".
She spends some time away from Corey, but asks for his continued help as she doesn't have a job. They finally break up after a heated argument over money. After that argument, Corey moves out of their apartment, leaving Leah to take care of the girls by herself. Her ex seemed to act weird around her after having the girls, so she decides not to get back together with him. While out with a friend one Valentine's Day, she learns Corey has started seeing another girl, and it really hurts her. By the end of the episode, Leah reveals that she and Corey still are not on the best of terms.
This was a very good episode. A lot of drama and tensions. Leah cared about her girls, but knew it was harder since there were two of them. Maybe she didn't have to argue with Corey as much, but it was still fun to watch.
Next week's episode features Lizzie, whose boyfriend proposes to her, but at some point they appear to break off the engagement. That should be a very interesting episode.
I might write another post later tonight. We'll see.
Love y'all,
