Doubling Down
with the Derricos.

00:00:03,700 --> 00:00:05,533
-Excuse me.
-[Deon] Oh, you so good.
4
00:00:05,533 --> 00:00:07,700
Mommy's gonna love this.
You're doing good.
5
00:00:07,700 --> 00:00:09,867
I'm trying to teach Dawsyn
how to ride this bike.
6
00:00:09,867 --> 00:00:12,333
She's like,"I'm calling the shots."
7
00:00:15,533 --> 00:00:16,700
[man] Dawsyn,
where are you going?
8
00:00:16,700 --> 00:00:18,700
[Dawsyn speaking]
9
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:21,367
The probability of relatedness
10
00:00:21,367 --> 00:00:23,734
is 76.3%,
11
00:00:23,734 --> 00:00:25,100
so that means you are
12
00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:26,500
-my brother's child.
-Yeah.
13
00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:28,500
That means the world to me,
I swear.
14
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:30,000
I hope that my love
will fill his heart.
15
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,066
I hope that my love
will fill his heart.
16
00:00:31,066 --> 00:00:32,467
You're gonna need
a pair of pliers
17
00:00:32,467 --> 00:00:33,533
to get us off hugging you.
18
00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:35,467
You're gonna need
the jaws of life.
19
00:00:35,467 --> 00:00:37,000
[Deon] Y'all puttin'
a whoopin' on Poppy.
20
00:00:38,867 --> 00:00:41,467
...because he was skinnier,
a lot skinnier.
21
00:00:41,467 --> 00:00:42,900
[Deon gasping]
22
00:00:47,734 --> 00:00:49,266
[Deon] Woo, Jesus.
23
00:00:49,266 --> 00:00:52,867
I came over to start
my dating profile.
24
00:00:52,867 --> 00:00:54,266
[kids] What?
25
00:00:54,266 --> 00:00:56,500
[GG] Over all,I am feeling optimistic.
26
00:00:56,500 --> 00:00:58,100
[Darian] Show a littlewhat you're working with.
27
00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:00,000
[GG] Because the tumoris starting to shrink.
28
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,066
[GG] Because the tumoris starting to shrink.
29
00:01:01,066 --> 00:01:04,166
And I'm determined
to live my best life.
30
00:01:04,166 --> 00:01:05,867
If he only calls
late at night,
31
00:01:05,867 --> 00:01:08,100
he's only looking
for one thing.
32
00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:10,367
Maybe GG looking
for the same thing.
33
00:01:10,367 --> 00:01:11,533
[laughing]
34
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,634
[upbeat music playing]
35
00:01:20,734 --> 00:01:23,100
Where is Deonee?
36
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:26,367
-Deonee's right there!
-[Karen] That is Deonee.
37
00:01:26,367 --> 00:01:28,367
-Where's Der-der?
-Right here! Right there!
38
00:01:28,367 --> 00:01:29,600
[GG] Right here!
39
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:30,000
-[kid] Der-der's!
-[Dyver] Dawsyn.
40
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,166
-[kid] Der-der's!
-[Dyver] Dawsyn.
41
00:01:32,166 --> 00:01:33,734
Dawsyn?
42
00:01:33,734 --> 00:01:36,166
Dawsyn's over there
with somebody phone.
43
00:01:36,166 --> 00:01:39,233
Hey, babies,
y'all need to come down.
44
00:01:39,734 --> 00:01:40,900
[kid] Den-den.
45
00:01:41,734 --> 00:01:43,266
-I am so excited...
-Mmm-hmm.
46
00:01:43,266 --> 00:01:45,166
to finally sit down
and break the news
47
00:01:45,166 --> 00:01:47,967
with the rest of the family
about Amani.
48
00:01:47,967 --> 00:01:50,900
Oh, my gosh. Dyver.
49
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,000
[Deon] All righty.
50
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,266
GG and I
have a huge announcement.
51
00:01:56,266 --> 00:01:58,266
Uh, we have
52
00:01:58,266 --> 00:02:00,000
a added family member.
53
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:00,867
a added family member.
54
00:02:00,867 --> 00:02:03,000
[Derrick] [gasps]
Are you pregnant again?
55
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,500
[Deon] No, she's not though.
Mom's not pregnant again.
56
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:08,467
I was contacted by a young man
that told me
57
00:02:08,467 --> 00:02:11,367
that he was my...
58
00:02:11,367 --> 00:02:12,700
nephew.
59
00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:15,166
So her grandson?
60
00:02:15,166 --> 00:02:16,500
-[Deon] Her grandson.
-Yeah.
61
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:18,367
I'm confused.
62
00:02:18,367 --> 00:02:20,266
I don't know how did he know
63
00:02:20,266 --> 00:02:22,467
that GG
64
00:02:22,467 --> 00:02:25,867
was his grandma.
65
00:02:25,867 --> 00:02:29,000
And that confuses me a lot.
66
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000
How could he be my nephew?
67
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,500
How could he be my nephew?
68
00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:35,266
I do not know
what a nephew is.
69
00:02:35,266 --> 00:02:36,700
I know I heard of it.
70
00:02:36,700 --> 00:02:39,500
-[Deon] Der? My brother Chris.
-Oh, Uncle Chris?
71
00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:41,867
So Uncle Chris had
children as well.
72
00:02:41,867 --> 00:02:43,367
-I don't know.
-Nephew and cousin are,
73
00:02:43,367 --> 00:02:45,700
kind of, like the same thing
74
00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:48,867
as a cousin and nephew.
75
00:02:48,867 --> 00:02:52,166
His name is Amani, who's 24.
76
00:02:52,166 --> 00:02:53,734
And my brother died never
77
00:02:53,734 --> 00:02:55,734
-knowing he existed.
-Not knowing.
78
00:02:55,734 --> 00:02:58,734
I remember Uncle Chris
holding Dawsyn
79
00:02:58,734 --> 00:03:00,000
when they were babies,
and Derrick.
80
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,367
when they were babies,
and Derrick.
81
00:03:00,367 --> 00:03:02,500
I remember him
playing Frisbee with us.
82
00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:04,166
I actually remember
having a lot of fun with him.
83
00:03:04,166 --> 00:03:06,266
That kinda makes me sad
because I used to play
84
00:03:06,266 --> 00:03:07,867
-with Uncle Chris.
-[Deon] Yeah.
85
00:03:07,867 --> 00:03:09,734
It's a little sad because
I'm younger
than Amani
86
00:03:09,734 --> 00:03:11,533
and I met his father.
87
00:03:11,533 --> 00:03:13,467
But for him not to meet him,
I know that hurts him
88
00:03:13,467 --> 00:03:15,266
because knowing that,
89
00:03:15,266 --> 00:03:17,700
"Oh, these are my littlecousins and they met him."
90
00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:18,967
So it's definitely
gonna be emotional
91
00:03:18,967 --> 00:03:20,367
for me just knowing that.
92
00:03:20,367 --> 00:03:22,266
Hey, Poppy,
are we gonna meet him?
93
00:03:22,266 --> 00:03:24,166
Yes, you're gonna meet him.
You're gonna meet him
94
00:03:24,166 --> 00:03:26,700
when we go to Detroit
for GG's birthday.
95
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:27,867
-So we will all meet him...
-What?
96
00:03:27,867 --> 00:03:29,600
-[kid] Wazzup, wazzup?
-because he lives in Detroit.
97
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:30,000
I am so pumped.
98
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,100
I am so pumped.
99
00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:32,467
GG's 73rd birthday
100
00:03:32,467 --> 00:03:33,867
is coming up next week
101
00:03:33,867 --> 00:03:35,700
and we get a chance
to celebrate it
102
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:37,467
in our hometown of Detroit.
103
00:03:37,467 --> 00:03:38,867
So, meeting Amani,
104
00:03:38,867 --> 00:03:40,600
that just puts the icing
on the cake.
105
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,266
So how are y'all feeling?
Are y'all excited
106
00:03:42,266 --> 00:03:43,867
-to meet him?
-[all] Yes.
107
00:03:43,867 --> 00:03:45,900
[Daician speaking]
108
00:03:52,367 --> 00:03:54,700
-I'm excited.
-There's always room
109
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:57,367
-in the Derrico household.
-Yeah.
110
00:03:57,367 --> 00:03:59,900
[upbeat music playing]
111
00:04:02,367 --> 00:04:04,533
[Eric] We gotta go find Poppysome clothes, y'all.
112
00:04:06,867 --> 00:04:09,000
[Eric] But no, y'all are gonnaget y'all's another day.
113
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,367
With this is for Poppy.
114
00:04:10,367 --> 00:04:13,100
Detroit is a swagged out city.
115
00:04:13,100 --> 00:04:16,100
It is the meccaof a lot of things that we,
116
00:04:16,100 --> 00:04:18,700
within the African-American
community, hold dear.
117
00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:21,634
So going back to Detroit,
I gotta be swagged out.
118
00:04:28,467 --> 00:04:30,000
[Dior speaking]
119
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,333
[Dior speaking]
120
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:36,467
-Ooh, De'aren.
-[Darian] Come, let me
take a picture of you.
121
00:04:36,467 --> 00:04:39,467
-Oh, yeah. Oh!
-[kid] Oh, yeah!
122
00:04:39,467 --> 00:04:41,467
Hey, Deniko, I know
you gonna wear this,
123
00:04:41,467 --> 00:04:42,967
like, all the time.
Everywhere you go,
124
00:04:42,967 --> 00:04:44,066
you're gonna wear that.
125
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,467
Babies, no!
126
00:04:47,467 --> 00:04:49,100
No, no, no, no, no!
127
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:52,100
This is definitely a handful,
128
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:55,533
having all 14 children of ours
shopping together like this.
129
00:04:55,533 --> 00:04:57,000
As far as they're concerned,
this is
130
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,867
like a hide-and-go-seek store.
131
00:04:58,867 --> 00:05:00,000
[Karen] Don't touch nothingin the store.
132
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:00,600
[Karen] Don't touch nothingin the store.
133
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,266
The things are nicely
displayed for a reason.
134
00:05:03,266 --> 00:05:05,367
You just gotta focus on themthe whole time.
135
00:05:05,367 --> 00:05:07,266
You gotta make sure
they don't pick nothin' up.
136
00:05:07,266 --> 00:05:09,634
Oh, my gosh. It's a job.
137
00:05:10,467 --> 00:05:12,000
I like that.
138
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,367
-I really like that.
-I do too,
but it's an extra-large.
139
00:05:13,367 --> 00:05:15,100
Now to you,
this thing is tough.
140
00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:16,166
But you gotta remember,
141
00:05:16,166 --> 00:05:17,600
I haven't always been
this size.
142
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,867
The Deon of yesteryear
143
00:05:19,867 --> 00:05:21,500
roller-skated three timesa week,
144
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:24,467
danced two to three times
a week,
145
00:05:24,467 --> 00:05:26,367
was very, very active,
146
00:05:26,367 --> 00:05:27,700
and I had no children.
147
00:05:27,700 --> 00:05:29,600
The Deon of right now
148
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:30,000
never roller-skate,
never dance,
149
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,266
never roller-skate,
never dance,
150
00:05:32,266 --> 00:05:33,500
and I have 14 children.
151
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:35,367
Listen, I forgot to tell you,
152
00:05:35,367 --> 00:05:39,166
I got the new 411 on GG.
153
00:05:39,166 --> 00:05:42,100
-She met somebody online.
-What?
154
00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:43,367
So they're supposed
to go on a date.
155
00:05:43,367 --> 00:05:46,100
-How old is he?
-I think 62.
156
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:49,266
Hmm, she a little cougar
now...
157
00:05:49,266 --> 00:05:50,734
[imitates growling cougar]
158
00:05:50,734 --> 00:05:52,166
[Darian] That's not
too young for GG?
159
00:05:52,166 --> 00:05:53,867
-No. You see how GG is.
-[Darian] Okay.
160
00:05:53,867 --> 00:05:55,734
[Deon] She needs a man
that's gonna keep up with her.
161
00:05:55,734 --> 00:05:57,100
[Darian] Now that's the truth.
162
00:05:57,100 --> 00:05:58,867
I mean, I don't know
what it's like
to have a grandfather,
163
00:05:58,867 --> 00:06:00,000
-not that I wanna have--
-And he gonna be
164
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:00,266
-not that I wanna have--
-And he gonna be
165
00:06:00,266 --> 00:06:01,967
no grandfather.
Slow your roll.
166
00:06:01,967 --> 00:06:04,166
He ain't gonna be
your grandfather.
167
00:06:04,166 --> 00:06:06,000
I feel like, you know,GG going on a date
168
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,166
is exciting.
169
00:06:07,166 --> 00:06:08,634
As long as she has fun.
170
00:06:08,634 --> 00:06:10,000
Yeah, have fun.
171
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,467
But not too much fun.
172
00:06:11,467 --> 00:06:13,266
Something about the whole fact
of dating
173
00:06:13,266 --> 00:06:15,967
helps to keep you young.
174
00:06:15,967 --> 00:06:17,600
Hey, baby,
so how do I look in this?
175
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,500
Oh, you want me
to tell you the truth?
176
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:21,266
-Yes.
-Those lines
177
00:06:21,266 --> 00:06:23,467
look very stretched.
178
00:06:23,467 --> 00:06:24,967
-So what you think?
-I think
179
00:06:24,967 --> 00:06:26,433
you look like a churro.
180
00:06:27,967 --> 00:06:30,000
Poppy loves chips
181
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:30,100
Poppy loves chips
182
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:31,734
and there's a lot of chips
in there.
183
00:06:31,734 --> 00:06:34,100
[Eric]
A churro with cream filling.
184
00:06:34,100 --> 00:06:35,600
[Deon] You know what?
Everybody,
185
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,266
-just get all your fun out.
-Poppy,
186
00:06:37,266 --> 00:06:40,100
your stomach looks like
mommy's pregnancy.
187
00:06:40,100 --> 00:06:41,867
Ooh.
188
00:06:41,867 --> 00:06:43,867
If you're serious,
we can lose some weight
189
00:06:43,867 --> 00:06:45,700
-this week, you know?
-I'm serious.
190
00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:48,000
You look so shape-yand overweight with belly,
191
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,600
so I imagine that he hate it,
192
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:51,967
and I hate it for him.
193
00:06:51,967 --> 00:06:54,700
Maybe five pounds
before the trip?
194
00:06:54,700 --> 00:06:56,900
Enough to fit better
in that shirt.
195
00:06:58,467 --> 00:07:00,000
Seeing myself
in this buttoned-up shirt
196
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:00,367
Seeing myself
in this buttoned-up shirt
197
00:07:00,367 --> 00:07:02,266
and how tight it is
around my stomach,
198
00:07:02,266 --> 00:07:03,867
that's a wake-up call.
199
00:07:03,867 --> 00:07:06,166
I would likefor my new nephew
200
00:07:06,166 --> 00:07:08,734
to meet his,
you know, swagged out uncle.
201
00:07:08,734 --> 00:07:10,433
I'll take you up on that.
202
00:07:11,367 --> 00:07:13,000
So y'all ain't gonna pick
on him all week,
203
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,533
y'all gotta motivate him.
204
00:07:18,467 --> 00:07:21,066
[upbeat music playing]
205
00:07:21,066 --> 00:07:23,533
[Karen] Let's get in here,
babies.
206
00:07:23,867 --> 00:07:26,100
-Hello.
-Hello.
207
00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:30,000
This is Dawsyn, De'aren,
and Dyver.
208
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,100
[Nicole] Hi! You guys
are so cute.
209
00:07:32,100 --> 00:07:33,166
-[Deon] Thank you.
-[Karen] Thank you.
210
00:07:33,166 --> 00:07:35,367
The triplets are pre-school
of age now.
211
00:07:35,367 --> 00:07:37,867
And with Awesome Dawsyn
bein' born
212
00:07:37,867 --> 00:07:40,266
with significantmedical issues,
213
00:07:40,266 --> 00:07:43,066
it delayed her development,
mentally and physically.
214
00:07:43,066 --> 00:07:45,867
Okay, Dawsyn.
We're here for you today.
215
00:07:45,867 --> 00:07:47,266
We already had her evaluated
216
00:07:47,266 --> 00:07:49,500
with the school districthere in our county,
217
00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:51,000
so we're now meeting
218
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,634
with an educational
specialist,
219
00:07:52,634 --> 00:07:54,867
to, kind of, map out
what Dawsyn's journey
220
00:07:54,867 --> 00:07:56,734
will look like
when she starts Pre-K.
221
00:07:56,734 --> 00:07:59,467
De'aren and Dyver actually,
although they were preemie,
222
00:07:59,467 --> 00:08:00,000
they just stayed
in the hospital
223
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:00,967
they just stayed
in the hospital
224
00:08:00,967 --> 00:08:02,367
for the first,
like, two months
225
00:08:02,367 --> 00:08:03,533
-and then they came home.
-Okay.
226
00:08:03,533 --> 00:08:05,867
But our little Awesome Dawsyn
over here,
227
00:08:05,867 --> 00:08:08,166
she was born
with a heart defect,
228
00:08:08,166 --> 00:08:11,700
so she had to have
two open-heart surgeries.
229
00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:13,367
-Oh, wow.
-And our baby
230
00:08:13,367 --> 00:08:16,467
definitely has been
through a lot.
231
00:08:16,467 --> 00:08:19,533
I remember when she code blue
in the hospital.
232
00:08:21,867 --> 00:08:25,100
So to see her over here
playing with them and...
233
00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:28,000
We're just blessed
to have her still
here with us,
234
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,233
it's special.
235
00:08:30,066 --> 00:08:32,000
My little Awesome Dawsyn,
236
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,734
she and I have this reallygreat special connection.
237
00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:37,066
It's kinda unbelievable.
238
00:08:37,066 --> 00:08:39,467
Because I remember the baby
239
00:08:39,467 --> 00:08:41,066
that was in the incubator
240
00:08:41,066 --> 00:08:42,367
and I wasn't sure
241
00:08:42,367 --> 00:08:44,066
if we made it to...
242
00:08:44,967 --> 00:08:47,100
second birthday,
what that was gonna look like.
243
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:49,066
So to see where she is now,
244
00:08:49,066 --> 00:08:50,266
I'm grateful for that.
245
00:08:50,266 --> 00:08:53,100
Yeah. She's been
through a lot.
246
00:08:55,266 --> 00:08:57,700
So today
I'm gonna assess Dawsyn
247
00:08:57,700 --> 00:08:59,867
on cognitive
and social skills,
248
00:08:59,867 --> 00:09:00,000
-as well as some
academic skills.
-[Karen] Okay.
249
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,500
-as well as some
academic skills.
-[Karen] Okay.
250
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:04,367
Early intervention is great
251
00:09:04,367 --> 00:09:06,266
because it could
really hone in
252
00:09:06,266 --> 00:09:08,166
on the skillsthat she needs to develop
253
00:09:08,166 --> 00:09:09,500
for her to excel.
254
00:09:09,500 --> 00:09:11,634
Can you put the block on top?
255
00:09:13,367 --> 00:09:15,166
-Yay!
-[cheering]
256
00:09:15,166 --> 00:09:17,100
[Nicole] Good job!
257
00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:19,166
We're sitting in here,
we're excited
258
00:09:19,166 --> 00:09:23,000
to see Dawsyn do her thing
with the specialist.
259
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,233
[Nicole] Touch your nose
then touch your mouth.
260
00:09:26,867 --> 00:09:28,700
Good job!
261
00:09:28,700 --> 00:09:30,000
-What is it?
-Doggie.
262
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:30,734
-What is it?
-Doggie.
263
00:09:30,734 --> 00:09:33,166
[Nicole] Good job, Dawsyn!
264
00:09:33,166 --> 00:09:34,734
[Karen] However,I don't know what
265
00:09:34,734 --> 00:09:36,367
the specialistis about to tell me.
266
00:09:36,367 --> 00:09:38,000
You know,we'd never had a baby
267
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000
that at the beginning
was so far behind.
268
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,734
Seven,
269
00:09:42,734 --> 00:09:44,100
eight,
270
00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:45,734
nine,
271
00:09:45,734 --> 00:09:47,066
ten.
272
00:09:47,066 --> 00:09:49,734
Yay!
273
00:09:49,734 --> 00:09:51,533
I'm smart.
274
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,634
[Nicole] Guess what?
We're all finished.
275
00:09:54,634 --> 00:09:56,467
[Karen applauding]
276
00:09:56,467 --> 00:09:59,000
-[Deon] Very good!
-[Nicole] She did great.
277
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,000
It was a lot of fun
working with her.
278
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:00,734
It was a lot of fun
working with her.
279
00:10:00,734 --> 00:10:02,533
Although she clearly wants
to be over there.
280
00:10:02,533 --> 00:10:03,967
-[Deon and Karen] Yes.
-You can tell
281
00:10:03,967 --> 00:10:05,734
they're not apart that much.
282
00:10:05,734 --> 00:10:08,166
-They never are. Yeah.
-[Karen] No. They've never
been separated.
283
00:10:08,166 --> 00:10:10,266
This isn't that far apart.
And she was like,
284
00:10:10,266 --> 00:10:12,367
-"I'm supposed
to be over there."
-[Deon] Yeah.
285
00:10:12,367 --> 00:10:15,100
-Yup.
-So based on my assessment
286
00:10:15,100 --> 00:10:18,100
and the assessments
that you got from the county,
287
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:21,467
she would qualify for
an early intervention program.
288
00:10:21,467 --> 00:10:23,000
And it looks, like,
289
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,734
she'll probably excel
pretty quickly...
290
00:10:24,734 --> 00:10:26,967
-Oh, good.
-to the point
where she may be able
291
00:10:26,967 --> 00:10:29,266
-to skip a grade.
-Wow.
292
00:10:29,266 --> 00:10:30,000
To go from the strugglesthat she had,
293
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,600
To go from the strugglesthat she had,
294
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,967
to having someone saying
she may need to be promoted,
295
00:10:35,967 --> 00:10:37,467
that's how well she's doing.
296
00:10:37,467 --> 00:10:39,467
-That's music to my ears
as a parent.
-[Karen] Mmm-hmm.
297
00:10:39,467 --> 00:10:40,867
Of course, I know.
298
00:10:40,867 --> 00:10:42,500
That's why we nicknamed her
299
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:44,166
Awesome Dawsyn.
300
00:10:44,166 --> 00:10:47,734
But it's like,
"Baby really is awesome."
301
00:10:47,734 --> 00:10:49,600
Just so you know,
she gets the smarts
302
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,734
from my side of the family.
303
00:10:51,734 --> 00:10:53,467
-[laughing]
-[Karen] Yeah.
304
00:10:53,467 --> 00:10:55,867
There is an early
intervention program
305
00:10:55,867 --> 00:10:58,367
that has 12 students
in a class.
306
00:10:58,367 --> 00:11:00,000
-Mmm-hmm.
-And there are some
slots available,
307
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:00,166
-Mmm-hmm.
-And there are some
slots available,
308
00:11:00,166 --> 00:11:02,100
but you would have
to jump on it right away
309
00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:04,867
-for this school year.
-What about De'aren and Dyver?
310
00:11:04,867 --> 00:11:07,266
Well, they would have
to be assessed from the county
311
00:11:07,266 --> 00:11:09,467
to see if they even qualify
for the program.
312
00:11:09,467 --> 00:11:11,100
So for this school year,
313
00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:13,000
the other two probably
wouldn't be able
314
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,367
to get into the program.
315
00:11:14,367 --> 00:11:16,533
Oh, wow.
316
00:11:16,533 --> 00:11:18,367
But we have our
317
00:11:18,367 --> 00:11:20,867
-Awesome Dawsyn a spot.
-[Deon] I get that.
318
00:11:20,867 --> 00:11:23,700
But Awesome Dawsyn
is connected with two other...
319
00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:26,467
Multiple siblings.
320
00:11:26,467 --> 00:11:29,266
I really want her
to attend the program.
321
00:11:29,266 --> 00:11:30,000
I know it means splitting up
our babies
322
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,700
I know it means splitting up
our babies
323
00:11:31,700 --> 00:11:34,867
but, you know,the parent in me
324
00:11:34,867 --> 00:11:38,500
is like,
"I want my baby to thrive."
325
00:11:38,500 --> 00:11:40,533
But when I found outthat she'll be going
326
00:11:40,533 --> 00:11:42,066
into the program alone,
327
00:11:42,066 --> 00:11:44,533
that is where
I'm putting on brakes.
328
00:11:44,533 --> 00:11:47,467
Because they're a package.
329
00:11:47,467 --> 00:11:50,700
[Nicole] I know that
separating multiples is hard,
330
00:11:50,700 --> 00:11:52,100
so I understand that.
331
00:11:52,100 --> 00:11:54,066
-There's a lot
of pros and cons...
-[Deon] Mmm-hmm.
332
00:11:54,066 --> 00:11:55,166
-Yeah.
-in this situation.
333
00:11:55,166 --> 00:11:56,867
Big cakes.
334
00:11:56,867 --> 00:11:58,533
They're easy.
335
00:11:58,533 --> 00:12:00,000
The spots are filling up fast,
so I would suggest
336
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,367
The spots are filling up fast,
so I would suggest
337
00:12:01,367 --> 00:12:03,367
making a decision
as soon as possible
338
00:12:03,367 --> 00:12:05,600
because they're not
gonna be there long.
339
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,734
Hmm.
340
00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:11,066
We've never divided
any of our multiples,
341
00:12:11,066 --> 00:12:13,266
so nowI'm just very apprehensive
342
00:12:13,266 --> 00:12:15,900
because that doesn't feel good
to me at all.
343
00:12:16,867 --> 00:12:19,533
This is just a lot
to really think about.
344
00:12:21,467 --> 00:12:22,867
If we stay dedicated,
345
00:12:22,867 --> 00:12:24,967
I guarantee you we lose
five pounds.
346
00:12:24,967 --> 00:12:27,734
-I don't think you can do it.
-Oh, jeez...
347
00:12:27,734 --> 00:12:30,000
At this rate, I'm gonna have
to lose weight for him.
348
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:30,734
At this rate, I'm gonna have
to lose weight for him.
349
00:12:30,734 --> 00:12:32,734
Oh, my God. I'm tired.
350
00:12:32,734 --> 00:12:34,367
-Pleased to meet to you.
-How you doin'?
351
00:12:34,367 --> 00:12:35,634
Pleased to meet you.
352
00:12:35,634 --> 00:12:37,266
I'm very excited for her
353
00:12:37,266 --> 00:12:38,266
to be going on this date,
354
00:12:38,266 --> 00:12:40,166
but I'm also protective.
355
00:12:40,166 --> 00:12:42,600
-What are your intentions?
-This is a little bit
356
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,467
-embarrassing for me.
-[Karen] Probably.
357
00:12:44,467 --> 00:12:45,900
[laughing]
358
00:12:49,166 --> 00:12:50,333
[upbeat music playing]
359
00:12:54,100 --> 00:12:56,000
-[Deon] So this is it?
-[Eric] Yeah, this is it.
360
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,734
You ready for this?
You ready to get it in?
361
00:12:57,734 --> 00:13:00,066
[Deon] Oh, no,
I ain't ready for this.
362
00:13:00,066 --> 00:13:02,533
That's gonna be a minute
before Poppy turn into that.
363
00:13:02,533 --> 00:13:04,800
If I'm gonna lose wait
before we go to Detroit,
364
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,266
I have got to get
my butt to the gym.
365
00:13:07,266 --> 00:13:09,634
But it's going to be hard
366
00:13:09,634 --> 00:13:11,266
and I am not looking forward
367
00:13:11,266 --> 00:13:13,600
to trying to lose
these five pounds either.
368
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,100
First line of business,
369
00:13:15,100 --> 00:13:17,100
-we gotta get our weights.
-Our weight?
370
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:18,684
Yeah, we gotta get
on the scale.
371
00:13:18,684 --> 00:13:18,734
Yeah, we gotta get
on the scale.
372
00:13:18,734 --> 00:13:20,266
You think
y'all gonna see my weight?
373
00:13:20,266 --> 00:13:22,467
Eric is a professional boxer,
374
00:13:22,467 --> 00:13:25,000
so he's used to
a certain level of hard work
375
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,467
when it comes downto working out.
376
00:13:26,467 --> 00:13:28,634
I'm used to a certain level
of hard work also,
377
00:13:28,634 --> 00:13:30,367
and that's feeding my face.
378
00:13:30,367 --> 00:13:32,467
All right. Here we go.
379
00:13:32,467 --> 00:13:34,467
-[Eric] 208.
-[Deon] What?
380
00:13:34,467 --> 00:13:37,867
This lyin'-ass scale.
I can't stand lyin' scales.
381
00:13:37,867 --> 00:13:39,433
But the truth is in the scale.
382
00:13:47,166 --> 00:13:48,684
If we stay dedicated
for one week,
383
00:13:48,684 --> 00:13:49,634
If we stay dedicated
for one week,
384
00:13:49,634 --> 00:13:51,734
I guarantee you
we lose five pounds.
385
00:13:51,734 --> 00:13:53,734
-I don't think you can do it.
-You don't think I can do it?
386
00:13:53,734 --> 00:13:56,166
[Derrick] Let's make a bet.
You lose five pounds,
387
00:13:56,166 --> 00:13:57,900
I do all my chores
388
00:13:57,900 --> 00:13:59,533
and I don't get
no allowance, okay?
389
00:13:59,533 --> 00:14:01,900
But if I win,
you need to do all my chores
390
00:14:01,900 --> 00:14:04,166
-and I still get allowance.
-So, you want me to work
391
00:14:04,166 --> 00:14:05,634
-and you still get paid?
-That's a bet.
392
00:14:05,634 --> 00:14:07,100
All right. Better shake on it.
393
00:14:07,100 --> 00:14:08,734
Well, Poppy's gonna have
a very hard time
394
00:14:08,734 --> 00:14:10,467
losing five pounds in one week
395
00:14:10,467 --> 00:14:12,166
because he's not active
like that.
396
00:14:12,166 --> 00:14:13,900
This bet is easy money.
397
00:14:13,900 --> 00:14:17,333
We're gonna do incline walk.
Just five minutes.
398
00:14:19,166 --> 00:14:20,700
This ain't the soul train.
399
00:14:20,700 --> 00:14:22,367
I'm committed to trying
to lose this weight this week.
400
00:14:22,367 --> 00:14:23,634
We're going to Detroit,
401
00:14:23,634 --> 00:14:25,900
I've gotta be swagged out
in a smaller body.
402
00:14:25,900 --> 00:14:28,000
I don't know why you trying
to do his chores
403
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,333
-and pay him.
-Sweat that thing up.
404
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,367
They're gonna be out here.
405
00:14:33,367 --> 00:14:35,367
[Deon] I need to pace myself.
406
00:14:35,367 --> 00:14:37,533
I know this workout
is only gonna get harder.
407
00:14:37,533 --> 00:14:40,900
With that 14 children,I'm tired.
408
00:14:40,900 --> 00:14:42,734
I'm not tired, I'm tired.
409
00:14:42,734 --> 00:14:45,367
I know I have really got
to do something
410
00:14:45,367 --> 00:14:47,166
because I've let myself go.
411
00:14:47,166 --> 00:14:48,684
All right, y'all.
So the next workout
we're gonna do
412
00:14:48,684 --> 00:14:49,367
All right, y'all.
So the next workout
we're gonna do
413
00:14:49,367 --> 00:14:50,800
is the pull-up bar.
414
00:14:51,367 --> 00:14:53,166
So we got this
415
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,634
or if you're advance,
416
00:14:55,634 --> 00:14:57,166
you have your legs out.
417
00:14:58,100 --> 00:15:00,166
You showing off now, Eric.
418
00:15:00,166 --> 00:15:01,900
[Eric] All right. Let's see
what you got, Derrick.
419
00:15:01,900 --> 00:15:04,800
-[Derrick grunting]
-[Eric] Breathe.
420
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,000
Inhale, exhale.
421
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,433
-Let me try. Let me try.
-I can assist you too.
422
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:12,266
Oh, jeez...
423
00:15:12,266 --> 00:15:13,634
-[Eric] Okay.
-Oh, my God.
424
00:15:13,634 --> 00:15:15,367
Oh! Wait a minute.
425
00:15:15,367 --> 00:15:17,533
Oh, my God. I'm tired.
426
00:15:17,533 --> 00:15:18,684
[Eric] He's slacking.
At this rate,
427
00:15:18,684 --> 00:15:19,734
[Eric] He's slacking.
At this rate,
428
00:15:19,734 --> 00:15:21,800
I'm gonna have
to lose weight for him.
429
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,533
Poppy, I did that
and you couldn't do that.
430
00:15:23,533 --> 00:15:25,634
You talk so much trash.
431
00:15:31,367 --> 00:15:33,367
Okay, y'all,
I'm getting tired.
432
00:15:33,367 --> 00:15:35,734
It's gonna be a great work out
when you're lifting the dishes
433
00:15:35,734 --> 00:15:37,867
from the dishwasher
up to the cabinet.
434
00:15:37,867 --> 00:15:40,467
You need to work
on your trash-talking skills.
435
00:15:40,467 --> 00:15:42,634
-They whack.
-[laughing]
436
00:15:43,734 --> 00:15:46,166
[upbeat music playing]
437
00:15:49,367 --> 00:15:51,467
[GG]
I'm at Dr. Parikh's office
438
00:15:51,467 --> 00:15:52,900
to get the scan.
439
00:15:52,900 --> 00:15:55,367
On my last scan,
440
00:15:55,367 --> 00:15:57,467
the tumor had shrunk some, so.
441
00:15:57,467 --> 00:15:59,166
I'm looking forward
to be gone.
442
00:15:59,166 --> 00:16:01,166
I wanna really have good news
443
00:16:01,166 --> 00:16:03,867
to share with my family,
444
00:16:03,867 --> 00:16:06,867
share with Amani
when I meet him,
445
00:16:06,867 --> 00:16:09,367
let him know
that he's gonna have me
446
00:16:09,367 --> 00:16:11,100
for a lot more years.
447
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:12,900
I'm a little anxious.
448
00:16:13,467 --> 00:16:15,266
Tad bit nervous,
449
00:16:15,266 --> 00:16:18,166
but I'm very optimistic, so.
450
00:16:18,166 --> 00:16:18,684
Here it goes.
451
00:16:18,684 --> 00:16:19,900
Here it goes.
452
00:16:21,533 --> 00:16:23,533
[upbeat music playing]
453
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,900
[Karen] Let's figure outwhat food we wanna eat.
454
00:16:28,900 --> 00:16:30,066
What do you want?
455
00:16:32,467 --> 00:16:33,734
Fries? What do you want?
456
00:16:34,367 --> 00:16:35,900
Oh, she want pizza.
457
00:16:35,900 --> 00:16:37,533
-Pizza it is.
-[Dawsyn] I want a pizza.
458
00:16:39,533 --> 00:16:41,000
Why do you... When I come in,
459
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,467
why do you all talking
about food?
460
00:16:42,467 --> 00:16:44,000
You think Poppy needs
to lose weight?
461
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,900
-No.
-Oh, baby.
462
00:16:45,900 --> 00:16:47,367
Thank you.
463
00:16:47,367 --> 00:16:48,684
My body's sore.
464
00:16:48,684 --> 00:16:49,000
My body's sore.
465
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,634
I've got parts on my body
I forgot was even there.
466
00:16:52,166 --> 00:16:54,266
Derrico is still attractive.
467
00:16:54,266 --> 00:16:58,166
He'll just be the more
attractive without the belly.
468
00:16:58,166 --> 00:17:00,066
-Y'all ready for nap?
-Yes, Sherlock.
469
00:17:00,066 --> 00:17:02,367
You can go sleep on mommy,
like this.
470
00:17:02,367 --> 00:17:04,100
I mean, Mommy don't have
no belly like this.
471
00:17:04,100 --> 00:17:05,533
Poppy coming on through.
472
00:17:05,533 --> 00:17:07,166
[Karen] Listen.I'm all for Derrico
473
00:17:07,166 --> 00:17:10,367
to get his pre-dad body back.
474
00:17:10,367 --> 00:17:12,166
But I don't need himoverworking in the gym.
475
00:17:12,166 --> 00:17:14,166
I don't need him
throwing his back out
476
00:17:14,166 --> 00:17:16,367
and then now I'm around herehaving to take care of him
477
00:17:16,367 --> 00:17:18,684
as well...
[chuckles] with 14 children.
478
00:17:18,684 --> 00:17:19,367
as well...
[chuckles] with 14 children.
479
00:17:19,367 --> 00:17:22,634
I was gonna talk you about
our little Awesome Dawsyn,
480
00:17:22,634 --> 00:17:24,533
trying to make a decision
of her,
481
00:17:24,533 --> 00:17:27,266
-you know, to school.
-Okay.
482
00:17:27,266 --> 00:17:30,367
She has the opportunity
to go to a school
483
00:17:30,367 --> 00:17:34,100
and potentially
skipping a grade.
484
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:35,700
-Yeah.
-I just wanna make sure
485
00:17:35,700 --> 00:17:37,467
that we are both
nurturing that
486
00:17:37,467 --> 00:17:39,467
in giving it to her,
giving her the opportunity.
487
00:17:39,467 --> 00:17:42,266
Yeah. However, as much as
I like hearing
488
00:17:42,266 --> 00:17:44,166
that Dawsyn is doing so good,
489
00:17:44,166 --> 00:17:46,367
I just have a issue
490
00:17:46,367 --> 00:17:48,684
with separating them
at this point
491
00:17:48,684 --> 00:17:49,367
with separating them
at this point
492
00:17:49,367 --> 00:17:51,800
and they've only known
the world
493
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,533
to be with each other.
494
00:17:53,533 --> 00:17:56,367
Out of all of our multiples,
we've never separated
495
00:17:56,367 --> 00:17:59,000
any of them from each other,
going to school.
496
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,166
Even the quintuplets,
when they was
in traditional school,
497
00:18:01,166 --> 00:18:03,634
they were all together
in that classroom.
498
00:18:03,634 --> 00:18:06,900
I am torn because I understand
both sides of it.
499
00:18:06,900 --> 00:18:09,000
I want Dawsyn
to have this benefit
500
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,100
of attending this school.
501
00:18:11,100 --> 00:18:13,367
However, emotionally,
502
00:18:13,367 --> 00:18:16,634
I know that that could bevery challenging for her
503
00:18:16,634 --> 00:18:18,684
and that's a lot to...
504
00:18:18,684 --> 00:18:19,800
and that's a lot to...
505
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,600
think about with this.
506
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,166
So can we do
a little small experiment?
507
00:18:25,166 --> 00:18:27,734
So why don't I take Dawsyn
one day
508
00:18:27,734 --> 00:18:30,100
and you stay back
with the other two
509
00:18:30,100 --> 00:18:33,266
and kinda see
how they do apart?
510
00:18:33,266 --> 00:18:35,367
Just a little
small experiment.
511
00:18:35,367 --> 00:18:37,367
So I'mma keep the other two
while you take Dawsyn...
512
00:18:37,367 --> 00:18:39,000
-Mmm-hmm.
-for a couple of hours or so?
513
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,900
-Mmm-hmm.
-[Deon] Okay.
514
00:18:40,900 --> 00:18:44,734
I've never split upany other of my multiples so,
515
00:18:44,734 --> 00:18:48,166
you know, that's not a task
taken lightly.
516
00:18:48,166 --> 00:18:48,684
[sobbing]
I don't wanna go through
517
00:18:48,684 --> 00:18:50,100
[sobbing]
I don't wanna go through
518
00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:52,634
an emotional separationwith them.
519
00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:55,166
It's so hard.
520
00:18:55,166 --> 00:18:57,100
So let me get my errands
in check
521
00:18:57,100 --> 00:19:00,066
so I can, you know, organize
when she's gonna go with me.
522
00:19:00,066 --> 00:19:03,000
And one of those errands
is picking up the grocery.
523
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,467
Is there anything
that you want.
524
00:19:05,467 --> 00:19:07,100
-And whole grain--
-Let's have some donuts,
525
00:19:07,100 --> 00:19:09,367
and chips, some ice cream.
526
00:19:09,367 --> 00:19:11,367
-Wow. You don't even try.
-[Deon] That's what I want.
527
00:19:11,367 --> 00:19:14,000
We'll I'm trying. I didn't say
we'll eat it right now.
528
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,900
I gotta lose five pounds, Ma.
529
00:19:15,900 --> 00:19:18,000
-Yeah.
-I mean, my sexy just gone.
530
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:18,684
Yes!
531
00:19:18,684 --> 00:19:20,000
Yes!
532
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,266
Will you please stop it?
Will you please stop it?
533
00:19:23,266 --> 00:19:24,867
[Karen] Oh.
534
00:19:24,867 --> 00:19:26,166
All right. Come on, Mama.
535
00:19:26,166 --> 00:19:28,367
-Bye.
-All right. Bye. Mwah.
536
00:19:28,367 --> 00:19:30,867
We've never done
a child separation.
537
00:19:30,867 --> 00:19:33,734
I'm definitely nervous about
to see how it's gonna go.
538
00:19:34,634 --> 00:19:36,066
All right, baby.
539
00:19:41,266 --> 00:19:42,734
[upbeat music playing]
540

[children chattering]
541
00:19:48,634 --> 00:19:50,100
Yeah, you look like GG.
542
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:52,266
Awesome Dawsyn.
543
00:19:52,266 --> 00:19:53,900
[Deon] Oh, here's mommy.
Come on, we gotta go.
544
00:19:53,900 --> 00:19:55,266
Come on. Let's go. Let's go.
545
00:19:55,266 --> 00:19:57,266
And my De'aren.
546
00:19:57,266 --> 00:19:59,533
-Oh, my God.
-[Deon] [indistinct]
547
00:19:59,533 --> 00:20:02,100
-[Dawsyn] Mommy.
-[Karen] Yes, baby?
548
00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:03,800
-Do I get your shoes?
-[Deon] Because
there's a sock.
549
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,166
You know you have
to go somewhere.
550
00:20:05,166 --> 00:20:07,066
Yeah, yeah!
551
00:20:07,066 --> 00:20:10,367
We've never done,like, a child separation
552
00:20:10,367 --> 00:20:10,679
like we're doing today.
553
00:20:10,679 --> 00:20:12,467
like we're doing today.
554
00:20:12,467 --> 00:20:14,266
I'm definitely
a little nervous about it
555
00:20:14,266 --> 00:20:15,467
to see how it's gonna go.
556
00:20:15,467 --> 00:20:17,266
You have some fun things
planned for the two of them
557
00:20:17,266 --> 00:20:19,266
to keep their minds occupied?
558
00:20:19,266 --> 00:20:22,000
It consists of how long we can
keep your eyelids closed.
559
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,900
It's gonna be
Poppy's nap time, right?
560
00:20:23,900 --> 00:20:27,266
Our triplets are not usedto being separated.
561
00:20:27,266 --> 00:20:29,166
They wake up together.
They eat lunch together.
562
00:20:29,166 --> 00:20:30,867
They go to bed together.
And that's how we've done
563
00:20:30,867 --> 00:20:32,266
with all of our multiples.
564
00:20:32,266 --> 00:20:34,700
So to have them separated
for, like,
565
00:20:34,700 --> 00:20:36,266
-two or three hours like this?
-Mmm-hmm.
566
00:20:36,266 --> 00:20:38,367
I think they're going
to experience
567
00:20:38,367 --> 00:20:40,679
some sense
of separation anxiety.
568
00:20:40,679 --> 00:20:41,000
some sense
of separation anxiety.
569
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,734
[Karen] Oh.
570
00:20:42,734 --> 00:20:44,166
All right. Come on, Mama.
571
00:20:44,166 --> 00:20:46,000
-Bye.
-[Karen] Bye.
572
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,500
Mwah. I'll see you later.
573
00:20:47,500 --> 00:20:49,734
My job is easierwith these two
574
00:20:49,734 --> 00:20:52,000
than Karen's job
is gonna be with Dawsyn.
575
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,266
Because De'aren and Dyver,
still have each other.
576
00:20:55,266 --> 00:20:57,166
Let's go have
some Poppy time, okay?
577
00:20:57,166 --> 00:20:58,367
[De'aren] Okay.
578
00:20:58,367 --> 00:20:59,634
Come on.

Ready to have some fun,
Awesome Dawsyn?
584
00:21:11,634 --> 00:21:13,533
She's, like, running up to me.
585
00:21:13,533 --> 00:21:16,634
Yeah, so I'm just gonna
let her play for a little bit.
586
00:21:16,634 --> 00:21:19,800
Let's try the market.
You wanna go there?
587
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,000
You don't wanna go
to the market?
588
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Come on. Let's try the market.
589
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,500
I was gonna take my little
Awesome Dawsyn with me
590
00:21:26,500 --> 00:21:28,266
to run some errands.
591
00:21:28,266 --> 00:21:30,066
But then I thought,"Why don't I take her
592
00:21:30,066 --> 00:21:33,533
to a place that will resemble
a preschool?"
593
00:21:33,533 --> 00:21:36,266
Oh, Dawsyn.
594
00:21:36,266 --> 00:21:38,367
Look at the market!
595
00:21:38,367 --> 00:21:39,867
Hopefully, Dawsynwill be able
596
00:21:39,867 --> 00:21:40,679
to let her imagination
run wild.
597
00:21:40,679 --> 00:21:42,000
to let her imagination
run wild.
598
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,700
She'll let loose
a little bit in here.
599
00:21:43,700 --> 00:21:45,700
Let's put your milk in there.
600
00:21:45,700 --> 00:21:48,100
Oh, Dawsyn is shopping.
601
00:21:48,100 --> 00:21:49,867
What else do you want?
602
00:21:49,867 --> 00:21:51,800
[Karen]
Huh? You want the cookies.
603
00:21:54,900 --> 00:21:56,066
[Karen] Yeah.
604
00:21:59,266 --> 00:22:00,533
[Karen gasps]
605
00:22:03,700 --> 00:22:05,166
Who is it for?
606
00:22:06,266 --> 00:22:08,233
That's Dyver's banana?
607
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,367
Oh.
608
00:22:13,367 --> 00:22:16,100
Oh, baby, he's at home.
609

[De'aren speaking]
611
00:22:31,367 --> 00:22:34,066
You've missed
De'aren and Dyver?
612
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,900
Aw, Mama.
613
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:40,066
I'm sure they miss you too.
614
00:22:40,066 --> 00:22:40,679
I thought that things
is gonna be,
615
00:22:40,679 --> 00:22:42,000
I thought that things
is gonna be,
616
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,066
like, smooth sailing, right?
617

It's gonna be good.
618
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,266
But Dawsyn became fixated
619
00:22:50,266 --> 00:22:52,734
on trying to find
De'aren and Dyver.
620
00:22:55,533 --> 00:22:58,600
I really want herto be comfortable here

it's happening.

-Not here.
-No. She's not.

-Dawsyn is crying?
-[Dyver] Uh-huh.

It's all right, baby.
629
00:23:20,634 --> 00:23:24,100
So I can only imagine
the level of confusion

00:23:24,100 --> 00:23:27,000
that's going on
in all of their heads
631
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,100
and how do we convey to them
632
00:23:30,100 --> 00:23:32,166
that we know
this doesn't feel normal.

for your big sister.

this thing through."

692
00:25:48,266 --> 00:25:49,533
These are my babies.
This my wife.
693
00:25:49,533 --> 00:25:51,266
-This is William.
-[Karen] Hi.
694
00:25:51,266 --> 00:25:52,533
Oh, my Gosh.
695
00:25:52,533 --> 00:25:54,367
This is... This is Eric.
696
00:25:54,367 --> 00:25:56,800
-I don't trust boys or girls.
-Yeah.
697
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,367
I don't want GG to date
because he's just too much.
698
00:25:59,367 --> 00:26:01,634
And even though he lookslike he's a nice man,
699
00:26:01,634 --> 00:26:02,800
looks can be deceiving.
700
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,266
He's gonna come over at times
701
00:26:04,266 --> 00:26:05,634
that we don't want him
to come over.
702
00:26:05,634 --> 00:26:07,000
No, no, no, no.
703
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,867
No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no.
704
00:26:08,867 --> 00:26:10,679
I don't wanna call him
grandpa.
705
00:26:10,679 --> 00:26:11,533
I don't wanna call him
grandpa.
706
00:26:11,533 --> 00:26:12,700
No.
707
00:26:12,700 --> 00:26:15,266
Oh, how you doing, young lady.
708
00:26:15,266 --> 00:26:17,166
-Nice to meet you.
-How you doing.
Pleased to meet you.
709
00:26:17,166 --> 00:26:18,800
-How you doing.
-[Deon] All right. All right.
710
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,867
-These are for you.
-[Eric] [indistinct]
711
00:26:20,867 --> 00:26:23,900
Oh, these are nice. Thank you.
712
00:26:23,900 --> 00:26:27,000
[GG] William is likehis profile picture.
713
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,166
He's a nice dresser.
714
00:26:29,166 --> 00:26:31,000
Handsome guy.
715
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,900
But that just don't
always move me.
716
00:26:33,900 --> 00:26:37,100
I wanna, kinda geta feel of what's up
717
00:26:37,100 --> 00:26:38,700
under that nice look.
718
00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:40,166
[Deon] I have one
little question.
719
00:26:40,166 --> 00:26:40,679
What are your intentions?
720
00:26:40,679 --> 00:26:41,634
What are your intentions?
721
00:26:41,634 --> 00:26:43,734
-Oh, my God.
-My intentions is...
722
00:26:43,734 --> 00:26:45,867
This is a little bit
embarrassing.
723
00:26:45,867 --> 00:26:48,000
-[Karen] Probably.
-[laughing]
724
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,900
I thought
I've become the parent
725
00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:51,367
and my mother's my child.
726
00:26:51,367 --> 00:26:54,367
I'm very excited for herto be going on this date.
727
00:26:54,367 --> 00:26:57,100
But I'm also very protective
728
00:26:57,100 --> 00:26:59,100
to make sure that I don't have
to get down and dirty
729
00:26:59,100 --> 00:27:01,367
and let these Detroit streets
come out of me.
730
00:27:01,367 --> 00:27:05,100
Well, we're gonna go out,
talk, I'm old-fashioned.
731
00:27:05,100 --> 00:27:07,367
-Okay. I appreciate that.
-All the way old-fashioned.
732
00:27:07,367 --> 00:27:09,533
Because GG's a little fast,
so you gotta... You gotta be--
733
00:27:09,533 --> 00:27:10,679
-[overlapping chatter]
-So that means
734
00:27:10,679 --> 00:27:11,734
-[overlapping chatter]
-So that means
735
00:27:11,734 --> 00:27:13,900
I gotta slow her down
a little bit.
736
00:27:13,900 --> 00:27:15,900
-Pump the brakes.
-[laughing]
737
00:27:17,100 --> 00:27:20,900
Yeah, my family is taking him
through all this crap.
738
00:27:20,900 --> 00:27:24,900
What happens if this happens
to be a guy that I might like?
739
00:27:27,900 --> 00:27:30,800
Now that...
They made me sweat.
740
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,533
-Can we leave now?
-So we did our job then?
741
00:27:32,533 --> 00:27:34,333
Yeah, we're making sure
you're good, William.
742
00:27:41,867 --> 00:27:43,367
-[Deon] All right. I gotta...
-Nice meeting you, my brother.
743
00:27:43,367 --> 00:27:45,000
And what
is your license plate?
744
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,467
-Huh?
-What's your license plate?
745
00:27:46,467 --> 00:27:48,533
In case I gotta pull
out an APB.
746
00:27:51,367 --> 00:27:52,867
[upbeat music playing]
747
00:27:58,166 --> 00:27:59,467
I do this all the time,
748
00:27:59,467 --> 00:28:01,100
-so it's natural.
-Oh, do you?
749
00:28:01,100 --> 00:28:03,367
You do it all the time?
750
00:28:03,367 --> 00:28:05,634
For a long time,
I've not had a guy
751
00:28:05,634 --> 00:28:07,533
make me feel twitchy
in the shoulders.
752
00:28:07,533 --> 00:28:09,166
Thank you, sir.
753
00:28:09,166 --> 00:28:11,367
Yeah, absolutely.
754
00:28:11,367 --> 00:28:14,100
The last time, I was 12,
755
00:28:14,100 --> 00:28:16,700
and I got my first kiss
756
00:28:16,700 --> 00:28:18,900
from Skippy.
757
00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:20,867
You look fabulous today, yeah.
Well, thank you.
758
00:28:20,867 --> 00:28:20,960
-So do you.
-[William] Thank you.
759
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,266
-So do you.
-[William] Thank you.
760
00:28:23,266 --> 00:28:26,533
Skippy held my face
761
00:28:26,533 --> 00:28:28,734
and he kissed my mouth.
762
00:28:28,734 --> 00:28:31,266
Everything about mefelt good,
763
00:28:31,266 --> 00:28:32,900
and he moved away.
764
00:28:32,900 --> 00:28:35,600
I never even knew
his real name.
765
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,266
And I know I was young
766
00:28:37,266 --> 00:28:39,266
but I've neverhad that again.
767
00:28:39,266 --> 00:28:42,734
So yeah, my greatest love
was Skippy.
768
00:28:42,734 --> 00:28:45,066
William,
what is your backstory?
769
00:28:45,867 --> 00:28:48,166
From New York.
I have two kids.
770
00:28:48,166 --> 00:28:50,960
My son's 41. My daughter's 40.
771
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:51,266
My son's 41. My daughter's 40.
772
00:28:51,266 --> 00:28:53,700
I moved down here in 2009.
773
00:28:53,700 --> 00:28:55,000
Why? Why did you move here?
774
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,100
Because I started
vacationing here
775
00:28:57,100 --> 00:28:59,600
-and I just love it out here.
-Yeah, I like it too.
776
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,367
I just like to have fun.
777
00:29:01,367 --> 00:29:03,100
-[GG] I do too.
-I love the laugh, gotta
laugh.
778
00:29:03,100 --> 00:29:05,100
[GG] That is definitely
one thing I look for.
779
00:29:05,100 --> 00:29:07,100
Oh, okay.
If you don't make me laugh...
780
00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:09,467
-[William] Oh, okay.
-that is a deal breaker.
781
00:29:09,467 --> 00:29:12,467
GG, she's a very
beautiful lady.
782
00:29:12,467 --> 00:29:15,734
She's just so pleasant
and it is going pretty good.
783
00:29:15,734 --> 00:29:17,700
I think everything
is clicking,
784
00:29:17,700 --> 00:29:19,533
both just feelingeach other out.
785
00:29:19,533 --> 00:29:20,960
So what's your backstory?
786
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:21,000
So what's your backstory?
787
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,600
Tell me a little bit
about yourself.
788
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,000
Well, I had two children,
789
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,333
lost one in, um...
790
00:29:27,900 --> 00:29:30,266
January of 2020, yeah.
791
00:29:30,266 --> 00:29:31,900
My condolences.
792
00:29:31,900 --> 00:29:33,900
[GG] Thank you.
That was a lot for me.
793
00:29:33,900 --> 00:29:36,166
-So it's two of us now.
-[William] Yeah.
794
00:29:36,166 --> 00:29:39,734
Life is so hard.
I just lost my dad in '96.
795
00:29:39,734 --> 00:29:41,266
Oh, sorry to hear that.
796
00:29:41,266 --> 00:29:43,467
He developed
bladder cancer, so.
797
00:29:43,467 --> 00:29:45,166
-Took a lot out of me. So...
-Of course it did.
798
00:29:45,166 --> 00:29:46,900
-I know how you feel.
-[GG] Yeah.
799
00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:50,960
Recently, I, tackled some
health challenges as well.
800
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,800
Recently, I, tackled some
health challenges as well.
801
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,266
-Lung cancer.
-Oh, okay. Wow.
802
00:29:56,266 --> 00:29:59,000
Yeah, but the Lord
is not gonna let me
803
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,634
-get too weak with it.
-Yeah.
804
00:30:00,634 --> 00:30:02,367
-You know what I mean?
-Yes, yes,
805
00:30:02,367 --> 00:30:03,900
I know what you mean.
806
00:30:03,900 --> 00:30:06,266
What made me open up
to William
807
00:30:06,266 --> 00:30:09,000
about my lung cancer,
808
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,266
he had lost his dad,he had taken care of his dad.
809
00:30:12,266 --> 00:30:16,100
So it did gave me a certain
sense of relief
810
00:30:16,100 --> 00:30:19,800
because now I'm here
speaking to somebody
811
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:20,960
that truly understands.
812
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,166
that truly understands.
813
00:30:23,166 --> 00:30:26,266
It's good to have
somebody to share
814
00:30:26,266 --> 00:30:28,467
certain feelings
like that with.
815
00:30:28,467 --> 00:30:31,100
So when you hear God
816
00:30:31,100 --> 00:30:33,900
performing miracles,
you're looking at one.
817
00:30:33,900 --> 00:30:36,867
-Oh, okay. God is amazing.
-Yes, he is.
818
00:30:36,867 --> 00:30:38,634
-Amazing, you know.
I'm glad to hear that.
-Yes, he is.
819
00:30:38,634 --> 00:30:39,800
I feel the same way
820
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,266
and I don't walk the straight
821
00:30:41,266 --> 00:30:42,900
and narrow all the time.
822
00:30:42,900 --> 00:30:45,166
I don't walk the straight
and narrow
823
00:30:45,166 --> 00:30:47,533
most of the time.
824
00:30:47,533 --> 00:30:50,166
Even though I haven't gotten
825
00:30:50,166 --> 00:30:50,960
the results of thislast scan,
826
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,367
the results of thislast scan,
827
00:30:52,367 --> 00:30:56,266
I am so sure
that it would be a change,
828
00:30:56,266 --> 00:30:58,533
a change for the better.
829
00:30:58,533 --> 00:31:01,166
So the family rallies
around you, right?
830
00:31:01,166 --> 00:31:05,166
Yeah. That's one thing about
having a close-knit family.
831
00:31:05,166 --> 00:31:07,533
-Yeah all linked to
each one of 'em...
-Yeah. Yeah.
832
00:31:07,533 --> 00:31:09,367
brings something totally
different...
833
00:31:09,367 --> 00:31:11,900
-Different.
-to family.
834
00:31:11,900 --> 00:31:13,634
Let's have a toast.
835
00:31:15,266 --> 00:31:16,500
New beginnings.
836
00:31:16,500 --> 00:31:18,533
New beginnings.
837
00:31:18,533 --> 00:31:20,734
I had a good time.
838
00:31:20,734 --> 00:31:20,960
And if William asks me
on another date,
839
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,800
And if William asks me
on another date,
840
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,900
I might would go on
another date with him
841
00:31:24,900 --> 00:31:27,734
but it would justsimply be as friends.
842
00:31:27,734 --> 00:31:30,533
He have some very goodqualities about him
843
00:31:30,533 --> 00:31:33,000
but I'm still looking
for that person
844
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,900
who's gonna make
my shoulders twitch.
845
00:31:35,900 --> 00:31:38,166
What does GG stands for?
846
00:31:38,166 --> 00:31:39,367
Glamorous Grandma.
847
00:31:39,367 --> 00:31:41,100
GG. Okay.
848
00:31:41,100 --> 00:31:42,533
Grandma got it going on.
849
00:31:42,533 --> 00:31:45,634
Well, thank you.

851
00:31:48,634 --> 00:31:50,433
Triplins.
852
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,333
[upbeat music playing]
853
00:32:10,900 --> 00:32:12,800
You take that frosting off,
854
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,100
you are following on
to Mommy's footsteps.
855
00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:15,467
I eat frosting.
856
00:32:15,467 --> 00:32:16,734
That's just too thick for me.
857
00:32:16,734 --> 00:32:17,800
Oh, my God,
858
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,166
all these snacks...
859
00:32:19,166 --> 00:32:20,960
Here, here. You can help us.
860
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:21,266
Here, here. You can help us.
861
00:32:21,266 --> 00:32:23,367
-You're gonna sabotage
my diet?
-Yes.
862
00:32:23,367 --> 00:32:24,734
-[Derrick] Yes.
-I don't want none of that.
863
00:32:24,734 --> 00:32:26,166
I don't want no cupcakes.
864
00:32:26,166 --> 00:32:28,266
I'm trying not eat no chips.
865
00:32:28,266 --> 00:32:30,000
I don't even like
the smell on chips.
866
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,166
I made a bet with Derrick
867
00:32:31,166 --> 00:32:33,000
that if I don't losefive pounds this week,
868
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,734
I will do his chores.
869
00:32:34,734 --> 00:32:36,467
So I started 208,
870
00:32:36,467 --> 00:32:37,900
the number I wanna see
on that scale
871
00:32:37,900 --> 00:32:39,634
is 203 pounds.
872
00:32:39,634 --> 00:32:41,367
I wanna see that.
873
00:32:41,367 --> 00:32:43,533
All right. This is the moment
we've been waiting for.
874
00:32:43,533 --> 00:32:46,367
-[Deon] Yo, we got...
-We got a whole week.
875
00:32:46,367 --> 00:32:47,634
[Karen]
Oh, oh, drumroll please.
876
00:32:47,634 --> 00:32:48,967
[Deon] I hear...
You're gonna hear it, yo.
877
00:32:51,266 --> 00:32:52,700
Oh, why am I scared?
878
00:32:52,700 --> 00:32:54,266
I saw Poppy taking snacks
879
00:32:54,266 --> 00:32:56,266
the whole week.
880
00:32:56,266 --> 00:32:59,467
Cakes, donuts, cookies.
881
00:32:59,467 --> 00:33:00,800
Everything you can imagine.
882
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,734
[Eric] Are you still 208?
883
00:33:03,734 --> 00:33:06,266
Come on, 203.
884
00:33:06,266 --> 00:33:08,166
I say Poppy's gonnalose the bet
885
00:33:08,166 --> 00:33:11,000
because, you know,
like he was eating cupcake,
886
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,000
he was eating cinnamon rolls,
he was eating some donuts.
887
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,967
Let me get a peep
on this right here.
888
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,467
[Derrick] Ooh.
889
00:33:24,467 --> 00:33:26,367
I'm down two pounds.
890
00:33:26,367 --> 00:33:27,800
[Karen laughing]
891
00:33:29,533 --> 00:33:31,100
That's for two pounds.
892
00:33:31,100 --> 00:33:33,000
If it was 20 pounds,
it would have been,
893
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,166
"Oh, my God!"
894
00:33:35,166 --> 00:33:37,333
I'm down two pounds.
895
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,800
I cheatedand I didn't exercise
896
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,000
like I was supposed to.
897
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,900
So no, I didn't do at all
898
00:33:43,900 --> 00:33:46,467
what I should have been doing
in order to lose five pounds.
899
00:33:46,467 --> 00:33:48,367
But with all going on,
900
00:33:48,367 --> 00:33:50,734
I mean, when and how can I?
901
00:33:50,734 --> 00:33:50,960
So here's your allowance
Derrick.
902
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,700
So here's your allowance
Derrick.
903
00:33:52,700 --> 00:33:54,634
Ain't even the allowance
for me,
904
00:33:54,634 --> 00:33:57,634
it's the fact that me
having to do his chores.
905
00:33:58,166 --> 00:33:59,233
[Derrick speaking]
906
00:34:04,166 --> 00:34:06,000
Good times. Good times.
907
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,266
All right. So it's done.
908
00:34:07,266 --> 00:34:08,734
Get outta here.
909
00:34:08,734 --> 00:34:10,533
[overlapping chatter]
910
00:34:10,533 --> 00:34:11,734
-Hmm.
-I'm amazing.
911
00:34:11,734 --> 00:34:13,266
-[Karen] Oh, my gosh.
-Oh, my God.
912
00:34:13,266 --> 00:34:15,166
Karen, will you be
able to honestly
913
00:34:15,166 --> 00:34:16,800
-help me out these chores?
-No,
914
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:17,900
I ain't doing that.
915
00:34:17,900 --> 00:34:20,000
You made your own bed,
you lie in it.
916
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:20,960
I didn't make up
the bed either.
917
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:21,634
I didn't make up
the bed either.
918
00:34:21,634 --> 00:34:22,734
I'm glad I lost
two pounds, babe.
919
00:34:22,734 --> 00:34:24,700
I honestly didn't think
I lost any.
920
00:34:24,700 --> 00:34:26,600
I think a lost a little
weight too at that...
921
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,600
-No, please stop.
-No, I didn't, baby.
922
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:29,734
Stop it.
923
00:34:29,734 --> 00:34:31,000
I think I did too though
924
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,367
because of the stress.
925
00:34:33,367 --> 00:34:35,900
I was trying to figure out
Dawsyn in school.
926
00:34:35,900 --> 00:34:37,800
Well, I've been thinking
about it
927
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,700
and I want all three
of them to succeed.
928
00:34:41,700 --> 00:34:43,367
I don't really want
this for Dawsyn
929
00:34:43,367 --> 00:34:44,734
that I'm excluding
the other two.
930
00:34:44,734 --> 00:34:47,600
-Mmm-hmm.
-They're way too young
931
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,960
to even think about
being separated.
932
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:51,900
to even think about
being separated.
933
00:34:51,900 --> 00:34:56,100
Seeing Dawsyn, you know,
not be okay
934
00:34:56,100 --> 00:34:58,333
without De'Aren and Dyver.
935
00:35:00,066 --> 00:35:02,367
[Deon] Who is that?
936
00:35:02,367 --> 00:35:03,700
[Karen] Hi, baby.
937
00:35:03,700 --> 00:35:05,100
Dawsyn.
938
00:35:05,100 --> 00:35:08,166
Oh, you're giving love.
939
00:35:08,166 --> 00:35:11,100
It makes me question
a little bit more like,
940
00:35:11,100 --> 00:35:13,600
"Hmm, maybe Derrico is right,
941
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,166
that separating the triplets
this soon
942
00:35:17,166 --> 00:35:19,467
is not the best for them."
943
00:35:19,467 --> 00:35:20,960
What I think I'll do
is have them evaluated
944
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:21,600
What I think I'll do
is have them evaluated
945
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,533
for the same program next year
946
00:35:24,533 --> 00:35:27,266
and see if maybe all
three of them get in.
947
00:35:27,266 --> 00:35:29,800
And in the meantime,
just bring in a teacher,
948
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,266
you know,
to just work with them
949
00:35:31,266 --> 00:35:33,266
and keep them up
to the right standards
950
00:35:33,266 --> 00:35:35,100
-they need to be in.
-Yeah, I like that.
951
00:35:35,100 --> 00:35:37,533
All three babies
will thrive together.
952
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,000
Thank you, baby.
953
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,500
I feel like everyone wins.
954
00:35:42,500 --> 00:35:44,367
We bring a specialist in
955
00:35:44,367 --> 00:35:46,600
who could help hone inon Dawsyn's abilities
956
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,734
and also maybe bring the other
two up to Dawsyn's speed.
957
00:35:49,734 --> 00:35:50,960
That way, their bond
isn't compromised at all.
958
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,100
That way, their bond
isn't compromised at all.
959
00:35:54,100 --> 00:35:56,100
So me bringing in a teacher,
960
00:35:56,100 --> 00:35:58,166
there's a small room
961
00:35:58,166 --> 00:36:00,467
that we're gonna have
all 14 children
962
00:36:00,467 --> 00:36:01,900
being educated under.
963
00:36:01,900 --> 00:36:03,367
But it is what it is.
964
00:36:03,367 --> 00:36:05,467
It's our life right now.
965
00:36:05,467 --> 00:36:07,700
So, Ma, you know,
I've been on pins and needles,
966
00:36:07,700 --> 00:36:10,266
what's going on
with your CAT scan?
967
00:36:10,266 --> 00:36:12,367
You know what?
968
00:36:12,367 --> 00:36:14,600
It's larger than it was
in July.
969
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,000
Oh, wow.
970
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,600
Yup.
971
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,100
[sobbing]
972
00:36:20,100 --> 00:36:20,634
[theme music playing]
973
00:36:23,166 --> 00:36:25,867
[upbeat music playing]
974
00:36:25,867 --> 00:36:29,000
[kids chanting]
975
00:36:30,734 --> 00:36:34,634
[all cheering]
976
00:36:34,634 --> 00:36:37,367
He won.
Look at his little arm.
977
00:36:37,367 --> 00:36:40,967
-Ma, look at Dior's arm.
-[laughter]
978
00:36:40,967 --> 00:36:43,900
So Mother,
what happened with your date?
979
00:36:43,900 --> 00:36:45,634
Oh, the date was nice.
980
00:36:45,634 --> 00:36:48,634
He's a nice guy
and we had good conversation
981
00:36:48,634 --> 00:36:51,634
and, you know,
with no love connection
982
00:36:51,634 --> 00:36:52,930
but it was a nice date.
983
00:36:52,930 --> 00:36:53,066
but it was a nice date.
984
00:36:53,066 --> 00:36:54,266
Yeah, so it wasn't bad?
985
00:36:54,266 --> 00:36:55,367
-No. It wasn't.
-Yeah.
986
00:36:55,367 --> 00:36:56,500
And overall you liked him
as a person?
987
00:36:56,500 --> 00:36:57,634
-That's it, yeah.
-Yeah.
988
00:36:57,634 --> 00:36:59,166
I still feel good
989
00:36:59,166 --> 00:37:01,734
just going on a date,
just getting out.
990
00:37:01,734 --> 00:37:03,734
-Ready for your nap?
-You ready for your nap?
991
00:37:03,734 --> 00:37:04,734
-No.
-All right. Go ahead.
992
00:37:04,734 --> 00:37:05,900
Go on over there.
993
00:37:05,900 --> 00:37:07,100
But now that I'm older,
994
00:37:07,100 --> 00:37:09,367
I know when something
it's not working,
995
00:37:09,367 --> 00:37:10,734
I'm cutting it off
996
00:37:10,734 --> 00:37:13,734
'cause with thingsthat's going on now,
997
00:37:13,734 --> 00:37:16,367
I don't have the time
to invest in it.
998
00:37:16,367 --> 00:37:18,467
If it ain't gonna work
from the beginning,
999
00:37:18,467 --> 00:37:20,367
let's go on with our life.
1000
00:37:20,367 --> 00:37:22,367
So, Ma, you know,
I've been on pins and needles,
1001
00:37:22,367 --> 00:37:22,930
what's going on
with your CAT scan?
1002
00:37:22,930 --> 00:37:24,967
what's going on
with your CAT scan?
1003
00:37:24,967 --> 00:37:27,166
You know what?
1004
00:37:27,166 --> 00:37:29,166
My recent scan
1005
00:37:29,166 --> 00:37:31,867
-is smaller than April...
-Uh-hmm.
1006
00:37:31,867 --> 00:37:34,367
but it's larger
than it was in July.
1007
00:37:34,367 --> 00:37:35,900
It grew a little bit
from where it shrunk to?
1008
00:37:35,900 --> 00:37:37,266
Yes. Yes.
1009
00:37:37,266 --> 00:37:40,367
But, he think that
I'll get better results
1010
00:37:40,367 --> 00:37:42,634
with the traditional chemo.
1011
00:37:42,634 --> 00:37:44,867
Oh, wow.
1012
00:37:44,867 --> 00:37:48,634
Traditional chemo
was just so rough on me.
1013
00:37:48,634 --> 00:37:51,634
When I took itthe first time in 2014,
1014
00:37:51,634 --> 00:37:52,930
that was so, so scary for me.
1015
00:37:52,930 --> 00:37:55,900
that was so, so scary for me.
1016
00:37:55,900 --> 00:37:57,734
I remember him mentioning
that at some point,
1017
00:37:57,734 --> 00:38:00,166
no, we will consider
doing this option.
1018
00:38:00,166 --> 00:38:01,367
How many treatments
do you have to do?
1019
00:38:01,367 --> 00:38:02,734
I think he said
1020
00:38:02,734 --> 00:38:05,100
three treatments
to four treatments.
1021
00:38:05,100 --> 00:38:06,166
What is it?
How many weeks apart?
1022
00:38:06,166 --> 00:38:07,367
Every three weeks.
1023
00:38:07,367 --> 00:38:08,967
He wanted to get me started
1024
00:38:08,967 --> 00:38:10,967
right away but I said no.
1025
00:38:10,967 --> 00:38:14,166
I didn't wanna do traditional
chemo anymore
1026
00:38:14,166 --> 00:38:17,533
because the first time
just had me so wiped out,
1027
00:38:17,533 --> 00:38:20,467
just so tired.
1028
00:38:20,467 --> 00:38:22,930
It was a struggle
to make myself breathe.
1029
00:38:22,930 --> 00:38:25,967
It was a struggle
to make myself breathe.
1030
00:38:25,967 --> 00:38:29,634
I just never want that again.
1031
00:38:29,634 --> 00:38:32,166
The last time GGhad to do traditional chemo,
1032
00:38:32,166 --> 00:38:34,533
I wondered like, "How is she
gonna make out of this?"
1033
00:38:34,533 --> 00:38:38,266
So just now hearing this,I'm just already envisioning
1034
00:38:38,266 --> 00:38:41,533
all that I know we went
through nine years ago
1035
00:38:41,533 --> 00:38:43,500
where the only silver lining
1036
00:38:43,500 --> 00:38:46,467
is, hopefully thiswill really be
1037
00:38:46,467 --> 00:38:49,533
in very aggressive on killing
what it needs to kill
1038
00:38:49,533 --> 00:38:51,166
and saving what
it needs to save
1039
00:38:51,166 --> 00:38:52,930
which is my mother.
1040
00:38:52,930 --> 00:38:53,500
which is my mother.
1041
00:38:53,500 --> 00:38:55,367
It's overall still promising.
1042
00:38:55,367 --> 00:38:57,500
We're still going in the right
direction moving forward.
1043
00:38:57,500 --> 00:38:59,367
-That's how I feel.
-Well, I don't know.
1044
00:38:59,367 --> 00:39:01,367
I'm just... I'm not...
1045
00:39:01,367 --> 00:39:03,166
I'm not...I'm not there.
1046
00:39:03,166 --> 00:39:05,266
For me, I just feel like
if that didn't shrunk
1047
00:39:05,266 --> 00:39:08,166
with the amino therapy and
he suggesting this new one,
1048
00:39:08,166 --> 00:39:10,100
I feel like
that's a good sign.
1049
00:39:11,900 --> 00:39:14,367
I don't really wanna do it.
1050
00:39:14,367 --> 00:39:16,166
Oh, wow.
1051
00:39:16,166 --> 00:39:18,734
But maybe now that
I don't got started
1052
00:39:18,734 --> 00:39:22,930
trying to get this thing
under some kind of control,
1053
00:39:22,930 --> 00:39:23,166
trying to get this thing
under some kind of control,
1054
00:39:23,166 --> 00:39:26,634
I should probably
just follow through.
1055
00:39:28,266 --> 00:39:32,266
This is gonna really,
really make me fatigued.
1056
00:39:32,266 --> 00:39:34,500
Well, I am honestly very glad.
1057
00:39:34,500 --> 00:39:36,367
I mean,
that it was your decision.
1058
00:39:36,367 --> 00:39:38,166
-Uh-hmm.
-Hopefully, he'll see
major shrinkage.
1059
00:39:38,166 --> 00:39:40,734
-Yes. Yes.
-He'll see major shrinkage
or gone.
1060
00:39:40,734 --> 00:39:42,166
-Which would mean hopefully...
-Yes, gone.
1061
00:39:42,166 --> 00:39:43,266
you won't have to do it again.
1062
00:39:43,266 --> 00:39:44,900
The last few years,
1063
00:39:44,900 --> 00:39:47,266
I've had so many thingsthat happened.
1064
00:39:47,266 --> 00:39:50,266
You know, getting a diagnosis
1065
00:39:50,266 --> 00:39:52,930
and then losing Chris just...
1066
00:39:52,930 --> 00:39:53,166
and then losing Chris just...
1067
00:39:53,166 --> 00:39:54,867
It's like each thing
1068
00:39:54,867 --> 00:39:57,734
brought about a different
type of trauma.
1069
00:39:57,734 --> 00:39:59,533
I don't want my energy level
1070
00:39:59,533 --> 00:40:02,367
challenged like that
when I go to Detroit.
1071
00:40:02,367 --> 00:40:06,867
So I'mma have something
started when I get back.
1072
00:40:06,867 --> 00:40:10,266
I swore I'd never do
traditional chemo again
1073
00:40:10,266 --> 00:40:14,367
but I felt like meetingAmani is God's way
1074
00:40:14,367 --> 00:40:16,967
of giving me a new purpose
1075
00:40:16,967 --> 00:40:19,066
to my life, if you will.
1076
00:40:19,066 --> 00:40:20,166
And I...
1077
00:40:22,967 --> 00:40:26,000
think about it
and get very emotional.
1078
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,533
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
1079
00:40:28,533 --> 00:40:30,500
Yup.
1080
00:40:30,500 --> 00:40:33,734
You have to havegood mental health
1081
00:40:33,734 --> 00:40:35,634
while dealing with the
challenges of anything
1082
00:40:35,634 --> 00:40:37,500
with the "C" word.
1083
00:40:37,500 --> 00:40:41,500
So it's important thatI give that strength
1084
00:40:41,500 --> 00:40:43,867
to keep her remindedof the importance
1085
00:40:43,867 --> 00:40:45,967
of staying mentally strong
1086
00:40:45,967 --> 00:40:48,900
so that she can continue
to fight this.
1087
00:40:50,266 --> 00:40:52,266
Oh.
1088
00:40:54,166 --> 00:40:58,233
Yeah, so...
1089
00:41:02,634 --> 00:41:05,367
-[both sobbing]
-Yeah.

1093
00:41:17,634 --> 00:41:19,734
Doubling Down
with the Derricos.
1094
00:41:19,734 --> 00:41:21,000
Okay, well, now hey, yo,
1095
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,930
that's where Poppy and Mommy
met, right there.
1096
00:41:22,930 --> 00:41:22,967
that's where Poppy and Mommy
met, right there.
1097
00:41:22,967 --> 00:41:25,500
I'm finally taking
all of my family to Detroit.
1098
00:41:25,500 --> 00:41:26,900
It brings back
1099
00:41:26,900 --> 00:41:28,367
-so many memories.
-Awesome around here.
1100
00:41:28,367 --> 00:41:29,867
And so I'm excited to be able
1101
00:41:29,867 --> 00:41:31,266
to introduce this
to my children.
1102
00:41:31,266 --> 00:41:33,734
Welcome to
the smack talking era.
1103
00:41:33,734 --> 00:41:34,967
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
1104
00:41:34,967 --> 00:41:37,000
You know, your dad
just moonwalk
1105
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,867
from to class to class.
1106
00:41:38,867 --> 00:41:41,100
Have you ever told your kids
about some party
1107
00:41:41,100 --> 00:41:43,367
-you used to have?
-No. Oh, no.
1108
00:41:43,367 --> 00:41:45,533
[laughter]
1109
00:41:45,533 --> 00:41:47,734
When I come to town,it's important for me
1110
00:41:47,734 --> 00:41:48,967
to see my girls.
1111
00:41:48,967 --> 00:41:50,734
So how is everything going?
1112
00:41:50,734 --> 00:41:52,930
The doctor wants me
to start on chemo
1113
00:41:52,930 --> 00:41:54,100
The doctor wants me
to start on chemo
1114
00:41:54,100 --> 00:41:56,166
when I get back home.
The thought of it,
1115
00:41:56,166 --> 00:41:57,867
it's just something that
I just don't even
1116
00:41:57,867 --> 00:41:59,500
wanna think about.
1117
00:41:59,500 --> 00:42:02,967
-Hey. Hey.
-Hey, Grandma.
1118
00:42:02,967 --> 00:42:06,266
We're finally meeting
my nephew, Amani.
1119
00:42:06,266 --> 00:42:08,533
Okay. Let's go down here
and check out Chris.
1120
00:42:08,533 --> 00:42:13,066
I'm still haunted
by the past of Chris
1121
00:42:13,066 --> 00:42:15,500
and the thing that
he should have and didn't.
1122
00:42:15,500 --> 00:42:18,467
I'm gonna take the chemo to,heal my body.
1123
00:42:18,467 --> 00:42:21,266
But can't take nothing,to heal the past.
1124
00:42:21,266 --> 00:42:22,500
Yeah.
1125
00:42:22,500 --> 00:42:22,930
