This week's mom-to-be is Markai from Florida. She is 16 and is a senior (home schooled I think). Her whole story came about because she and her lover James didn't have protected sex even though they were educated. They have a good support system from their friends but not from her mom. But, it's totally understandable because she was a teen mom as well.
She has a weird craving for soap and for some reason she makes a lot of excess saliva. James is out on the job hunt but so far has been unsuccessful. They tried to secretly move James into Markai's house but her mom was against it.
After a while, James quit looking for a job and his ex-girlfriend has been trying to hook up with him on Myspace. (Really...who uses Myspace anymore?!) After a painful labor, Za'karia is born.
Markai has been talking with her dad, trying to find them a place to live but in the meantime, her mom had a change of heart and James is living with them. But once she finds out that he cheated on her in the beginning of their relationship, the mega fight ensues. And not just a verbal fight. After this, they declared that they were through. But it didn't last long because they reconciled realizing that they do love each other and have to work on their relationship for Za'karia. The main issue was a lack of trust and a lot of fear.
I am hoping that they can work this out because there is nothing I dislike more than the guys on this show that don't care about their child. You will be a part of that kids life whether you like it or not so you might as well have a good relationship. I'd say that we are now 2/4 on supportive baby daddies because I really feel like Daniel from last week was just a pain and not any help to her at all.
Wish you well,
St. Ann
Soap and saliva? Weird.
