Young And Pregnant Protective Order: Will Kayla's Legal Move Force Stephan To Shape Up?

We thought Kayla and Stephan were on solid ground on Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant -- Stephan apologizing to her mom Jaime for their fight last season was a major first step. Yet unfortunately, the exes were back in a bad place immediately after an alleged altercation that instigated Kayla to file a short-term protective sort against her son's father.


On tonight’s episode, Kayla instructed her companions and her mom that the court wasn’t going to press bills against Stephan because there wasn’t enough evidence for them to win the case. Since there was no arrest, Kayla got the protective sort for herself and her son Izaiah and will ultimately have to create the call about whether or not to extend it for two more years -- although she was confident Stephan will get better and she won't have to create the sort more permanent.


“If he is ready to get help, then I'll want him around Izaiah,” she mentioned, adding that she didn’t aspire to be the one keeping him from his child.


But despite Stephan admitting in a separate Facetime convo with his mom that he felt guilty about what happened and wanted to do better, neither Kayla’s companions nor her mom was convinced.


“I’m just worried about your safety, and I’m worried about Izaiah’s safety,” Jaime instructed her daughter soon after learning that she could may not extend the sort. “I know this can end badly, and I’m scared to death.”


Will Stephan really get help this time and do better for Kayla and their baby? And should Kayla opt out of extending the group and give him a chance to improve, or should she heed her mom’s opinions? Tell us your thoughts, and keep watching Young and Pregnant Mondays at 10/9c.
