New Additions: Here's The 411 On Young And Pregnant's Kiaya And Rachel

Two new bellies faces, Kiaya and Rachel, began their Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant journeys throughout this week's premiere episodes. And we learned a little more about these moms-to-be and their interesting (and complex) family member dynamics.


First, let’s begin with Kiaya. The Virginia native has been dating her girlfriend Teazha for two years. Nevertheless once Teazha cheated on her, Kiaya hooked up with a guy named X’Zayveon a number of times. Then she got pregnant. Right now, X’Zayveon is back in jail, Teazha and Kiaya are back with each other, and Teazha wants to raise her girlfriend’s son as if he were her own.


The girls’ relationship is pretty solid -- so much so that Kiaya’s mom let her move in and commute to school so she will assist with the baby. Although Kiaya still isn’t sure if her girlfriend realizes just how much work this baby is going to be.


“I just don’t think you understand the depth of the situation,” she mentioned. “You have a choice in case you hope to be here or not. I don't have a choice. I don’t think you’re going to leave, nevertheless at the end of the day, people change and feelings change.”


Yet, Teazha promised her she’s not going anywhere and is going to help raise the child.


Although most of Kiaya’s drama is with her ex’s mom Carla, who blamed her for the pregnancy, originally wanted Kiaya to get an abortion and has gotten physical with her in the past. Right now, although, Carla wants to be in her grandson’s life, so Kiaya met up with her to try and smooth things over. Nevertheless almost immediately, the girls got into a verbal and then physical argument once Carla again blamed Kiaya for getting pregnant.


“All I wanted to do was tell my side of the story,” Kiaya mentioned right after things calmed down. “She did not care, and that’s messed up because I did not [get pregnant] by myself.”


Next up: Rachel, a reformed Tennessee party girl and mom-to-be who was seeing both her “in and out” ex Drew and his best friend Jacob while she got pregnant. She was disappointed to learn that Drew was the father of her unborn daughter, as she wasn’t confident he could be a typical presence in their daughter’s life.


“I want her to have her father in her life, although if he comes around and she gets attached and then ends up leaving, I’m not going to have her sitting there crying,” Rachel told a friend ahead of her baby shower. “I don't need him.”


Drew didn’t seem also keen on the idea of fatherhood and even blocked Rachel from contacting him, so she reached out to Jacob, who suddenly wanted to be involved in baby Hazelee’s life “because nobody else is going to.”


“I’ve habitually wanted her to be yours,” Rachel told Jacob. “You don’t have to be here for me, although you pick to. It takes a gentleman to do that.”
