I'M SO EXCITED MY MAMA'S FINALLY DECIDED

TO COME AND LIVE WITH ME IN L.A.

SHE'S GONNA EVENTUALLY FIND HER OWN PLACE,

BUT I SECRETLY HOPES THAT SHE NEVER MOVES OUT.

OH, EVELYN, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE, HONEY.

EVELYN-- I TOLD YOU ABOUT THAT.

- EVELYN MAMA. - HEY, HOW YOU DOIN', BOO?

HAVE A SEAT.

A LOT OF THE DECISIONS THAT I'VE MADE,

IT IS BASED ON TAMAR HAVING THE BABY.

I WANNA BE THERE FOR HER.

I WAS THERE FOR THE OTHER GIRLS, AND MY SON.

SO, IT'S HER TIME, NOW.

- CHEERS. - CHEER-CHEERS.

HEAR-HEAR. - I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

THAT WAY, I CAN WATCH YOU,

AND SEE WHAT YOU'RE PUTTIN' DOWN THAT THROAT.

TAMAR, YOU DON'T NEED TO WATCH ME.

EVERYBODY NEED A GUARDIAN ANGEL.

I AM YOUR FOOD ANGEL.

OKAY, I'LL LET-I'LL LET YOU BE,

UNTIL I'M READY TO EAT SOMETHIN'.

UNTIL YOU'RE READY TO EAT WHAT, MOM?

YOU CAN'T EAT FRIED CHICKEN-- - SOME GOOD OL'--

HOG MAWS, CHITLINS, AND POTATO SALAD.

THAT'S HOW WE GOT INTO THE PREDICAMENT WE IN NOW.

- WHO'S IN A PREDICAMENT? - YOU-YOU-YOU'RE DIABETICAL.

OH, LORD.

TAMAR'S STILL GONNA TREAT ME LIKE A BABY.

LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOIN'.

LIKE SHE'S THE MOTHER AND I'M THE CHILD.

THAT WILL REALLY WORK ON MY NERVES.

I CAN TELL YA THAT.

I MIGHT JUST JUMP ON THE PLANE AND GO HOME.

BUT NOW THAT I GOT YOU HERE, PUT ON THAT APRON, BOO,

'CAUSE IT'S GOING. - I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT.

- IT'S DOWN. - YEAH, WE'RE GONNA DO--

I'M GONNA SHOW YOU-I'M GONNA SHOW YOU

JUST HOW TO COOK EVERYTHING,

AND WHEN YOUR HUSBAND COME HOME,

HE'LL LOVE YOU TO DEATH 'CAUSE OF THE FOOD.

HE GONNA LOVE ME TO DEATH,

BUT SHE AIN'T NO SUSIE HOMEMAKER.

SEE, LET ME TELL YA SOMETHIN'.

AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU.

SUSIE HOMEMAKER--CANNOTA

- 'CAUSE I DON'T - HAVE TIME FOR THAT.

YOU CAN BE A SUSIE HOMEMAKER NOW,

BUT NOT WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG AND FRESH, LIKE THIS.

- UH-UH. - YEAH, BABY.

MY MAMA'S LIVING HERE TO TAKE CARE OF ME

SINCE I'M PREGNANT,

AND THE WAY SHE NEED TO BE TAKING CARE OF ME

IS MAKING ME CHICKEN ON DECK,

AND MACARONI AND CHEESE ON DECK,

BECAUSE EVERYTHING SHE MAKES IS THE BOMB.

I DONE TOOK A PACK OF CHICKEN OUT.

I GOTTA GO TO A MEETIN'-- I CAN'T COOK IT.

SO, YOU SHOULD EITHER FRY IT, SMOTHER AND COVER IT,

AND HAVE IT READY FOR ME WHEN I GET HOME.

WELL, NOT TODAY.

NO, LET ME TELL YOU WHY TODAY.

'CAUSE I TOOK THAT CHICKEN OUT THIS MORNING--

- UH-HUH. - AND I CAN'T PUT HER BACK

IN THAT REFRIGERATOR NOW.

SO, YOU SHOULD GO AHEAD ON AND COOK THAT THING.

YOU TOOK OUT THIS MORNING?

THEN, IT'LL BE OKAY FOR TOMORROW.

NO, UH-UH-- I TOOK IT OUT OF THE FREEZER LAST NIGHT,

PUT IT IN THE-PUT IN THE REFRIGERATOR,

THEN PUT IT IN THE SINK.

YOU GOT TO COOK IT-- SEE WHAT I'M SAYIN'?

OH, WELL, YOU KNOW, I'M A LITTLE TIRED.

WELL, GO ON AND PUT THAT THING IN THE OVEN, THEN.

♪ I'M SUCH A LADY ♪

♪ BUT WHEN I HEAR THE WHISTLE BLOW ♪

TODAY, I'M MEETING WITH MY DANCER, JONATHAN,

AND TOWANDA, TO GO OVER OUR DANCE MOVES

FOR MY NEW SINGLE, "GAME TIME."

I KNOW THE ROUTINE IS A LITTLE BIT ROUGH,

BUT I'VE BEEN SO BUSY WORRYING ABOUT THE BOYS

AND TRYING TO CONVINCE GABE TO MOVE TO L.A.

THAT I HAVEN'T HAD A LOT OF TIME TO PRACTICE.

BUT, I KNOW IT'LL BE FINE.

I JUST NEED A LITTLE WORKERIZATION.

- WHERE THE OTHER GUY AT? - HE'S NOT HERE.

- WHERE IS HE? - HE HAD TO GO TO CHINA.

- CHINA! - YES, HE'S WITH ANOTHER ARTIST,

AND THAT'S A PROBLEM THAT I'M HAVING.

I'M NOT SURE HE'S GONNA BE BACK IN TIME.

WAIT A MINUTE.

HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT YOU WANNA DO

WITH-WITH THE PERFORMANCE, TRINA?

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

TONI WANTS ME TO PERFORM AT HER UP AND COMING SHOW,

AND THIS WILL BE "GAME TIME'S" BIG, HUGE DEBUT.

THE SONG DEFINITELY SOUNDS HOT,

BUT NOW THE ROUTINE NEEDS TO LOOK JUST AS GOOD.

I'M HOPING THAT MAYBE, LAST MINUTE, HE CAN, LIKE,

BE THERE. - SO, WHEN'S THE SHOW?

IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.

- LIKE, TWO DAYS FROM TODAY. - LIKE, TWO DAYS.

IS HE LEAVING CHINA TODAY?

NO. BE ABLE TO MAKE IT.N HE A

AND I DON'T THINK I'M GONNA BE ABLE TO MAKE IT EITHER,

'CAUSE I THINK I HAVE A-- - WHAT-WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I KINDA HAVE A COMMITMENT ALREADY.

YOU DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THIS CLOSE?

I DIDN'T.

I THINK I GOT MY DATES CONFUSED.

- SORRY. - WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

I GUESS I HAVE TO, LIKE, NOT HAVE DANCERS.

YOU CANNOT PERFORM THIS SONG BY YOURSELF.

NO, NOT BY YOURSELF.

AND I WANTED TO HAVE THE POM-POMS.

LIKE CHEERLEADING POM-POMS?

YOU WANNA SEE THEM?

THEY'RE SO CUTE.

THIS SONG IS ALL ABOUT SPORTS.

SO, POM-POMS ARE THE PERFECT, ADORABLE ACCESSORY.

PLUS, THEY'RE KINDA SEXY.

I LOVE THIS IDEA.

SO, WHO ARE YOU GONNA HAVE DANCING BEHIND YOU?

WANT ME AND TRACI TO DO IT?

WE CAN LEARN IT IN A DAY AND A HALF.

WE'RE PROFESSIONALS.

I THINK WE CAN DO IT.

YOU THINK YOU AND TRACI WILL BE ABLE TO PULL THIS OFF?

YES!

DO YOU THINK WE'LL BE READY FOR IT

IN JUST ONLY TWO DAYS OF REHEARSAL?

NO!

I'M JOKING.

YEAH, WE CAN DO IT. - THAT DOESN'T HELP ME.

WAY TO MAKE ME FEEL WARM AND FUZZY INSIDE.

TRINA, I'M JUST JOKING-- WE CAN DO IT.

IF MY DANCERS CANNOT COME TO THE SHOW WITH ME,

I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO CALL TRACI AND ASK HER

IF SHE'D BE WILLING TO DO MY BACKGROUND FOR ME.

IT'S GONNA BE QUICK-- WE CAN DO IT.

- IT MAKES ME NERVOUS. - WHY?

- IT MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS. - IT'S GONNA BE FUN.

'CAUSE THE THING IS, WE ALL KNOW TONI.

TONI'S VERY PICKY.

EVEN THOUGH IT'S QUOTE-UNQUOTE, MY SECTION,

IT'S STILL TONI BRAXTON'S SHOW.

I CAN LEARN IT IN A DAY.

ALL RIGHT.

- LOOK AT THAT-- THAT PURSE. - GO AHEAD.

OH, THANK YOU, BABY.

I JUST ARRIVED IN L.A.

I'M HERE TO DO BACK-UP FOR TRINA,

AT THE LAST MINUTE.

AS SOON AS I LANDED,

TAMAR WANTED ME TO GO SHOPPING.

ALL SHE DOES, IS SHOP AND EAT.

SO, TONIGHT, I'M GONNA GO SHOPPIN'.

HOW YOU BEEN FEELING?

- FAT, MAMA. - WHY YOU FEELING FAT?

- 'CAUSE I'M FAT. - NO, YOU'RE NOT.

YES, I AM.

YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL.

SO, ANYTHING YOU NEED TO ASK, OR--

THAT SMELL LIKE BOOTY CRACK.

ANYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

HMM? - NO, I DON'T NEED TO KNOW--

I GOT 13 NIECES AND NEPHEWS.

WHAT ABOUT, UM, GOING TO A PARENTING CLASS,

SO YOU CAN JUST HEAR FROM ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW?

I WATCHED AND RAISED ALL MY SISTERS' AND THEM KIDS.

IT AIN'T REALLY THAT HARD.

YOU JUST GOTTA DO IT ALL THE TIME.

OOH.

MTO A PARENTING CLASS FOR,

IF MY MAMA GOT 13,000 KIDS?

YOU KNOW WHAT?

NOW, TAMAR KNOWS SHE NEEDS SOME PARENTING CLASS.

ONCE THAT BABY COME OUT OF YOUR COO-DA-POO-POO,

HONEY CHILD, YOU IN A DIFFERENT MODE.

SOMETIMES, YOU CAN PICK UP LITTLE HINTS,

YOU KNOW, FROM SOMEONE ELSE-- THAT'S ALL I'M SAYIN'.

YES, 'CAUSE YOU GONNA GO TO BIRTH THREE TIMES.

HUH?

SHE'S GONNA GO TO BIRTH THREE TIMES.

- GO TO BIRTH? - YOU A PSYCHIC?

NO, 'CAUSE YOU GONNA CRAP ALL OVER THE PLACE.

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN? - WHEN YOU GOTTA PUSH,

THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF CRAP.

YOU GOTTA KEEP DIFFERENT NOW, TRACI.- NOE

AND THEN, HERE COME THE BABY.

AND THEN, THE AFTERBIRTH.

YEAH.

- THE WHO? - THE AFTERBIRTH.

AFTER-B-I-R-T-H.

OH, LORD-- OH, LORD, TRACI!

AFTERBIRTH, FROM THE PLACENTA AND EVERYTHING.

DON'T IT JUST SLIDE OUT BY ITSELF AFTER ALL THAT?

WELL, YOU GOTTA KINDA PUSH IT A LITTLE BIT.

I THINK THAT'S ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING

THAT I HAVE TO GIVE BIRTH TO A SACK,

AFTER I GIVE BIRTH TO MY BABY.

LIKE, EW!

SO, WHAT HAPPENS AT PARENTING CLASSES?

THIS LITTLE GIRL RIGHT HERE.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE, LIKE,

NEVER BEEN AROUND LITTLE BABIES BEFORE.

THEY TELL YOU HOW TO BE AWARE OF YOUR BODY AND STUFF, TOO.

'CAUSE, SOMETIMES, YOU CAN GO THROUGH POSTPARTUM

AND NOT KNOW IT.

I THINK I WOULD KNOW THAT, THOUGH.

- UH-UH-- NOT ALL THE TIME. - NO, YOU DON'T.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU'RE GOING THROUGH THAT.

BUT, TAMAR, I THINK YOU NEED TO GO.

WELL, JUST SEE WHAT THE LADY HAVE TO SAY, OR THE MAN.

SEE WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY.

I HOPE IT'S NOT A MALE, 'CAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

THEY'RE JUST GOING BY WHAT THEY READ.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO HAVE A BABY,

SO I CAN SMELL IT.

I LOVE NEW BABY SCENT.

DON'T THEY HAVE THE NICEST SMELL?

YES, THEY DO.

EXCEPT FOR WHEN THEY SMELL LIKE THROW UP, THOUGH.

NO, WHAT?

THAT DON'T SMELL GOOD.

THAT THING SMELL LIKE OLD DISHRAG.

SO, TRINA'S GONNA DO A SONG IN THE SHOW, GUYS.

YOU GUYS KINDA KNOW IT A LITTLE BIT?

YEAH.

AS USUAL, TOWANDA AND I ARE DOING BACKGROUND FOR TONI,

FOR ONE OF HER CONCERTS.

BUT, THIS TIME, SHE ASKED ME TO SING IN THE MIDDLE OF IT,

AND I'M SUPER ELATED.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

A TONI BRAXTON CROWD,

AND TRINA BRAXTON SINGING AT IT?

YES.

THE TWO SONGS THAT I'M PLANNING TO SING ARE "GAME TIME,"

WHICH IS GONNA BE MY NEW SINGLE,

AND "PARTY OR GO HOME."

TRINA, ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR PART, TRINA,

TO DO IN THE SHOW? - YOU GONNA SING WITH HER?

NO, I'M NOT GONNA SING WIT' YOU.

I'M GONNA TAKE A PEE BREAK-- I'M GONNA TAKE A TINKLE.

I THOUGHT TRINA SINGING HER SINGLES IN MY SHOW

WAS A GREAT IDEA.

I THINK SHE'S GONNA NAIL IT-- I THINK SHE'S GONNA BE GREAT.

I THARE AWARE OF THE SONG,

BUT THEY'VE NEVER SEEN HER PERFORM IT, LIVE.

SO, THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO GET A LITTLE BREAK,

BUT, MORE SO, FOR HER TO SHINE.

- THERE'S TRACI. - HEY, TRACI.

- HEY. - HEY.

HEY, WHAT YOU DOING-- YOU READY?

OKAY, DID YOU TEACH THEM THE PARTS?

THEY KNOW IT?

YEAH, THEY'RE-THEY'RE STILL LEARNING.

THEY'RE STILL LEARNING. - THE SHOW IS MANANA.

I KNOW-- MY OTHER DANCERS COULDN'T COME IN.

WE KINDA JUST KINDA FOUND OUT.

NOBODY KNOWS THE CHOREOGRAPHY?

I DO A LITTLE BIT, JUST A LITTLE BIT.

HOW TRINA GONNA ASK ME,

"TRACI, CAN YOU DO BACK-UP FOR ME,

"'CAUSE THE DANCERS AIN'T GONNA BE HERE AND EVERYTHING?"

I'M LIKE, "WELL, OKAY."

I'M THINKIN' THIS IS GONNA BE A WEEK OR SOMETHIN'.

THIS PERFORMANCE IS TOMORROW!

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

GUYS, IF YOU'RE NOT RIGHT, KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GONNA SAY?

"TONI BRAXTON'S SISTERS WEREN'T RIGHT."

THEY'RE NOT GONNA SAY, "TRINA WASN'T RIGHT,

"TOWANDA WASN'T RIGHT, TRACI WEREN'T RIGHT."

THEY'RE GONNA SAY I WASN'T RIGHT.

NO PRESSURE.

I'M GONNA HAVE A GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE,

AND THE BABY GONNA BE HANGING OFF MY NIPPLE.

THAT IS SO HOOD RAT!

DID

DID YOU

DID YOU TEACH

DID YOU TEACH THEM

DID YOU TEACH THEM THE

DID YOU TEACH THEM THE PARTS--

YEAH, THEY-THEY'REM THE STILL LEARNING.OW IT?

I KNOW-- MY OTHER DANCERS COULDN'T COME IN.

WE KINDA JUST KINDA FOUND OUT.

NOBODY KNOWS THE CHOREOGRAPHY?

- I DO A LITTLE BIT. - JUST A LITTLE BIT.

WHY DO YOU HAVE THOSE THINGS?

BECAUSE THIS IS FOR HER SONG, "GAME TIME."

THAT'S SO NOISY.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE POM-POMS.

THEY'RE CUTE-- TONI, THEY'RE VERY CUTE.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS-- I'M READY TO SEE IT.

-- .

I'M SORRY.

LIKE THIS, RIGHT THERE

STOP-STOP-STOP-- STOP, STOP.

GUYS, IF YOU'RE NOT RIGHT, KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GONNA SAY?

"TONI BRAXTON'S SISTERS WEREN'T RIGHT."

THEY'RE NOT GONNA SAY, "TRINA WASN'T RIGHT,

"TOWANDA WASN'T RIGHT, TRACI WEREN'T RIGHT."

THEY'RE GONNA SAY I WASN'T RIGHT.

I MEAN, THERE IS A RULE WITH USING POM-POMS.

IF YOU'RE IN YOUR 30's,

YOU SHOULD NOT BE USING POM-POMS

UNLESS YOU ARE WITH YOUR GUY, PRIVATE.

WHAT IS SHE THINKING WITH THE POM-POMS?

AND THEN, THEY'RE LITTLE, TEENY, MINI POM-POMS

THAT YOU GET FROM THE DOLLAR STORE.

NO.

OH, THOSE POM-POMS!

THIS IS WHAT I WANNA DO TO POM-POMS.

I WANNA KICK 'EM!

I HATE THEM POM-POMS, TRINA-- THAT AIN'T HOT.

IT AIN'T SUPER BOWL.

WHILE MY SISTERS ARE STILL IN TOWN,

THEY DECIDE TO TAKE ME TO MY FIRST PARENTING CLASS.

I REALLY DON'T THINK I NEED IT THAT MUCH,

BUT MY MOM THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA FOR ME TO GO.

YOU KNOW, IT'S ONLY RIGHT FOR ME TO LISTEN,

'CAUSE SHE KNOW WHAT SHE DOIN'.

- CONGRATULATIONS. - OH, THANKS.

- ARE YOU TIRED? - I'M VERY TIRED,

AND I CAN'T TIE MY OWN SHOES, AND HUNGRY ALL THE TIME.

ALL THE TIME-- SHE'S CARRYING A HERBERT.

AND I CAN'T HAVE A COCKTAIL, SO THAT'S MY DAY.

I KNOW.

AND I HAVEN'T SEEN MY PURSE IN A FEW MONTHS!

LIKE, I CAN'T LOOK DOWN AND SEE MY PURSE.

YOU KNOW, THAT THING UNDERNEATH YOUR STOMACH.

THAT-THAT'S YOUR PURSE-- THAT'S THE REAL PURSE.

YOU KNOW?

- THAT'LL KEEP YOU COMFORTABLE. - THAT-- I LIKE THAT.

LOOK AT-- GOD.

OKAY, YOU WANNA HOLD THIS BABY?

- MMM-MMM. - NO?

COME ON, HOLD THE BABY.

MAMA, WHY YOU LAUGHIN' AT ME?

- HOLD THE BABY. - GIVE HIM A CUDDLE.

HE'LL SLEEP WELL. - I LOOK OUT OF PLACE, DON'T I?

- NO, YOU DON'T. - OH-OH!

YOU CAN'T TAKE THE BABY DOWN TO GET THE PURSE.

THAT'S MY BABY, TOO.

WE GOTTA TREAT ALL KIDS AROUND HERE EQUALLY, OKAY?

OKAY.

SO, DID YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING

OF WHAT TO EXPECT WITH LABOR?

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE GIVING BIRTH?

WHAT-- DO YOU KNOW MUCH ABOUT THAT?

WELL, YOU KNOW, I SAID TO MYSELF

I WASN'T GONNA ASK TOO MANY QUESTIONS,

BECAUSE I DON'T WANNA BE MORTIFIED.

I THINK, ON THE SCALE FROM ONE TO TEN,

TAMAR BEING AFRAID TO GIVE BIRTH, IS A TEN.

SO, YOU'RE SCARED OF THE PAIN,

OR YOU JUST DON'T WANNA DEAL WITH THE PAIN?

I AM PETRIFIED-- I HATE PAIN.

WE COULD DO A LITTLE PAIN EXERCISE

TO SEE HOW YOU HANDLE PAIN.

TAKE A WASHCLOTH.

AND THEN, YOU'RE GONNA TAKE AN ICE CUBE

AND JUST PUT THE ICE CUBE IN THE WASHCLOTH.

HOLD THE ICE CUBE IN YOUR BARE HAND.

HAVING A BABY COME OUT MY FAVORITE PURSE

IS NOT THE SAME THING AS PUTTIN' AN ICE CUBE

ON MY SKIN, OKAY?

I'M GONNA NEED TO GET THAT MED

AS SOON AS I WALK THROUGH THAT DOOR.

YOU'LL HYPERVENTILATE, IF YOU BREATHE LIKE THAT.

THAT'S OLD SCHOOL. - WELL, I SEEN THAT ON TV.

I KNOW, IT'S OLD SCHOOL-- IT'S NOT REAL.

IS MY COOCH GONNA FEEL LIKE MY HAND?

'CAUSE IT HURTS.

TAMAR COULDN'T EVEN HANDLE AN ICE CUBE.

SHE WAS SQUIRMING SO BAD.

MY BEST ADVICE FOR TAMAR IS JUST GET A LOT OF MEDS,

'CAUSE YOU'RE GONNA NEED IT.

THIS IS THE UTERUS.

OKAY, YOURS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT STRIPED,

BUT THIS IS KIND OF WHAT IT IS.

THERE'S A BABY INSIDE HERE.

THIS, RIGHT HERE, IS THE CERVIX...

AND IT'S GONNA OPEN, LITTLE BY LITTLE,

AND IT'S GONNA GET TO TEN CENTIMETERS.

IT'S DISGUSTING-- TEN CENTIMETERS IS HUGE.

ALL RIGHT?

MAMA, I CHANGED MY MIND.

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

- WHY YOU BEING SO B-BLAH? - I'M NOT, BECAUSE I CAN'T--

YOU'RE BEING SO STUCK-UP.

YOU'RE SUCH A STICK IN THE MUD TODAY.

WELL, TRINA, AND TRINA, HOW DO YOU WANT ME TO REACT?

YOU'RE BEING VERY UN-FUN.

I REALLY NEED FOR TRINA TO NAIL HER PERFORMANCE.

SHE'S NOT ONLY REPRESENTING HERSELF AS A NEW ARTIST,

BUT SHE'S REPRESENTING ME.

I'M GONNA NEED YOU NOT TO DO THE ROBOT.

THIS,

THIS, RIGHT

THIS, RIGHT HERE,

THIS, RIGHT HERE, IS

THIS, RIGHT HERE, IS THE

THIS, RIGHT HERE, IS THE CERVIX,

AND IT'S GONNA OPEN,, LITTLE BY LITTLE,

AND IT'S GONNA GET TO TEN CENTIMETERS.

MAMA, I CHANGED MY MIND.

GIRL, PLEASE-- GO AHEAD, CONTINUE.

I'M GONNA TAKE THE BABY OUTTA HERE.

THIS IS A LITTLE BABY.

YOUR BABY'S GONNA BE BIGGER THAN THIS, FOR SURE.

UM, SO, THIS BABY LOOKS REALLY BIG.

THAT'S HOW-PROBABLY HOW BIG HER BABY'S GONNA BE.

- BUT, THIS IS ABOUT-- - YOU TRIED IT.

WOULD BE A SEVEN-AND-A-HALF POUND BABY.

I WAS EIGHT POUNDS WHEN I WAS BORN.

- OH, WERE YOU? - YES.

I WAS SEVEN-ELEVEN.

I GOT A BIG HUSBAND, TOO. - YEAH.

I CAN'T IMAGINE STRETCHING MY FAVORITE BAG.

YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE PYTHON AND STUFF.

I DON'T-I DON'T WANT IT TO STRETCH OUT OF WHACK,

AND THEN, IT'S RUINED.

YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE IT'S NOT LIKE I CAN GO TO BUY

A NEW PYTHON BAG, YOU KNOW?

IT'S MY PURSE FOR LIFE.

ARE YOU PLANNING ON BREAST-FEEDING?

SHE HAS TO FOR A FEW DAYS, AT LEAST.

SHE HAS TO.

'CAUSE YOU CAN HAVE INVERTED NIPPLES.

SO, YOU'LL HAVE TO HAVE THIS THING,

AND IT HELP YOUR NIPPLES TO PROTRUDE.

IT'S GONNA HELP THE BABY TO HAVE BETTER WEIGHT GAIN.

IT'S GONNA HELP THE BABY TO BE CALMER AND HAPPIER,

BECAUSE HE'LL BE CLOSE WITH YOU.

I CANNOT IMAGINE NO BABY SUCKIN' ON MY ,

THREE, FOUR TIMES A DAY.

LIKE, THEY'RE GONNA HANG LIKE SOMEBODY'S BALLS,

AND I DON'T WANT MY LOOKING LIKE BALLS.

THEY ACTUALLY LOOK GREAT.

CHILD! - YOU'RE GONNA-- I KNOW.

IT'S A LOT-- YOU'RE GONNA FEEL SO MUCH BETTER.

BUT BREASTFEEDING IS GONNA HELP ALL THAT BABY WEIGHT COME OFF.

IT'S GONNA HELP-- - LIKE, HOW LONG?

ALL RIGHT, IN REALI--

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO BREAST-FEED FOR A YEAR.

AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT.

YOU THINK YOU COULD DO IT FOR THREE MONTHS?

CAN I DRINK?

AS YOU'RE BREASTFEEDING, YOU COULD HAVE A DRINK,

BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE TIME TO GO THROUGH YOUR SYSTEM.

- THAT'S FABULOUS. - OKAY?

- THAT'S SO HOOD RAT, THOUGH. - I KNOW.

CHILD!

I'M GONNA HAVE A GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE,

AND THE BABY GONNA BE HANGING OFF MY NIPPLE.

THAT IS SO HOOD RAT!

I CANNOT IMAGINE THAT.

LIKE, I'M SITTING HERE, LIKE, HAVING A CONVERSATION,

AND SOMEBODY IS REALLY-- LIKE, I DON'T KNOW.

LIKE, FOR ME, JUST ME, YOU KNOW, DON'T JUDGE ME.

I-I CAN'T WRAP THAT AROUND MY HEAD.

I FEEL LIGHTHEADED-- LIKE, THIS IS WAY TOO MUCH.

I FEEL LIKE I'M ABOUT TO GET A PANIC ATTACK, THOUGH.

YOUR PANTS LOOK LIKE "I DREAM OF JEANNIE."

YOU'RE JUST MAD BECAUSE MY PANTS ARE CUTER THAN YOURS.

- TRINA, NO-- NO, MA'AM. - YES.

IT SHOWS LEG AND EVERYTHING. - NO, MA'AM.

THEY'RE VERY FASHION FORWARD.

THEY'RE VERY CARRIE BRADSHAW. - THEY'RE-- NO!

THEY'RE NOT CARRIE BRADSHAW. - YES, THEY ARE!

YES, THEY ARE!

THEY'RE VERY "I DREAM OF JEANNIE-ISH."

I DREAM OF TRINI-ISH.

WHAT WAS-WHAT WAS JEANNIE'S, UH, TWIN SISTER'S NAME?

- TRINI-- BOOM. - EXACTLY.

TRINA, TRINA, TRINA. - YES.

DON'T YOU JUST LOVE L.A. IN THE SPRING?

IT'S NICE TO VISIT.

BUT ME AND GABE HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN OUT HOUSE HUNTING,

IN L.A. - WHY?

AFTER MOMMY'S BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

THAT SHE'S MOVING,

I KNOW TOWANDA'S FEELING A LITTLE BIT ABANDONED.

BUT, IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME THAT SHE UNDERSTANDS

WHY I'M CONSIDERING MOVING TO L.A.

THERE ARE DEFINITELY MORE OPPORTUNITIES IN L.A.

YOU CAN'T NEGATE THAT.

YOU CAN'T-- YOU CANNOT.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE STORE, IN ATLANTA?

WE CAN STILL DO THE STORE IN ATLANTA.

BUT, WHAT ABOUT CALEB AND HIS NEW SCHOOL, AND--

CALEB-- ACTUALLY, CALEB'S OKAY WITH IT.

YOU KNOW, CALEB'S BEEN GOING THROUGH SO MUCH CRAP

AT THIS SCHOOL-- IT'S JUST A MESS.

OKAY, WHAT IF ERIC DOESN'T--

WELL, ACTUALLY DECIDES NOT TO GO TO A SCHOOL IN CALIFORNIA.

THEN WHAT?

WHAT IF HE GOES TO A SCHOOL IN CA-IN-IN ATLANTA?

THEN WHAT?

AH! - BU-

- WA-OH-- - THAT HASN'T--

BE-DE-DE.

YOU CAN'T USE MY OWN SELF AGAINST ME.

YOU KNOW WHAT, TRINA?

I REALLY FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE

THAT CALEB WANTS TO LEAVE HIS LIFE

AND HIS FRIENDS IN ATLANTA,

AND I DEFINITELY DON'T BELIEVE

ERIC WANTS HIS MOTHER TO FOLLOW HIM TO L.A.

WHO WANTS TO DO THAT?

WHY YOU BEING SO B-BLAH?

- NOBODY'S BEING B-BLAH. - YES, YOU ARE.

- NO, I'M NOT, BECAUSE I-- - YOU'RE BEING SO STUCK-UP.

YOU'RE SUCH A STICK IN THE MUD TODAY.

WELL, TRINA, AND TRINA, HOW DO YOU WANT ME TO REACT?

YOU'RE BEING VERY UN-FUN.

WELL, TRINA, YOU MOVING TO L.A. IS VERY UN-FUN.

I'M-I'M LETTING YOU KNOW THAT THE POSSIBILITY IS THERE.

WHOSE IDEA WAS THIS-- GABE'S?

HUH?

- WHOSE IDEA WAS THIS? - TAMAR.

TONI.

- OKAY. - TONI SENT ME LINKS TO HOUSES.

ALL RIGHT, TRINA.

IT DOESN'T MAKE ME HAPPY TO SEE TOWANDA SAD,

BUT IT MAKES ME HAPPY TO SEE TOWANDA SAD!

BECAUSE IT'S LIKE SHE'S GONNA MISS ME,

AND IT JUST REALLY MAKES ME KNOW

HOW CLOSE OUR BOND IS AS SISTERS,

AND JUST HOW MUCH WE MEAN TO EACH OTHER,

BEING THERE TO LEAN ON EACH OTHER.

BUT, YOU KNOW YOU'RE NEXT.

- NO. - YES, TOWANDA.

THINK-YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THIS.

TONI...

TAMAR... - NO, NO.

- ME... - NO.

- MOMMY... - NO.

YOU.

I AM NOT GOING TO PERMANENTLY PICK MY FAMILY UP

AND MOVE TO CALIFORNIA,

ON A HOPE, AND A DREAM, AND A PRAYER.

I'M NOT GONNA DO THAT-- I CAN'T DO THAT.

I THINK YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT MOVING, TOO.

IT'S GREAT FOR YOUR CAREER.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE GONNA LEAVE ME IN ATLANTA.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYBODY IN THE FAMILY

IS MIGRATING TO THE WEST.

I DON'T THINK THAT I HAVE ANY DESIRE TO MOVE TO L.A.,

OR TO THE WEST, UNLESS I HAVE A GREAT

MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR PAYING JOB.

I'LL JUST-I'LL LET YOU KNOW HOW THINGS PROGRESS,

OR NOT.

OKAY.

IT'S THE DAY OF THE SHOW,

AND WE ARE ARRIVING AT THE VENUE

SO WE CAN DO OUR SOUND-CHECK.

UH, WE'LL DO HERS, YOU KNOW, 15 MINUTES BEFORE.

OKAY.

EVEN THOUGH KERI AND I ARE DIVORCED,

WE STILL WORK TOGETHER.

HE'S MY PRODUCTION MANAGER,

AND HE MAKES THINGS GO SO MUCH SMOOTHER.

HE KNOWS HOW I LIKE IT DONE.

HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT I EXPECT WHEN I GET ONSTAGE.

SO, THAT'S A COMFORT TO ME.

I REALLY GOT TUMMY BUBBLES.

I GOT TUMMY BUBBLES REAL BAD.

I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS.

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY CAN PULL IT OFF.

MORE SO, I DON'T KNOW IF TRINA CAN PULL IT OFF,

BECAUSE HER NERVES AND HER LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM

IS GETTING THE BEST OF HER.

AND I SWEAR, IT DRIVES ME TO DRINK.

I NEED A COCKTAIL.

WELL, IT'S NOT THERE NOW, BUT I HAD IT REALLY BAD.

WANT SOME GINGER ALE?

NO, I CAN'T DRINK THAT STUFF BEFORE I PERFORM.

WELL, IT'LL HELP THE TUMMY BUBBLES.

WOULDN'T YOU RATHER-- - NO, I DON'T WANT--

I NEED THE TUMMY BUBBLES TO STAY.

I DON'T NEED 'EM TO COME OUT YET.

- OH, MY-- - NOT FOR A SHOW.

YEAH, THEY'LL BE THERE FOR TOWANDA AND I.

OH, THAT IS THE WORST.

BUT DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE POM-POMS.

THEY'RE CUTE.

I PROMISE. - THEY'RE-THEY'RE NOT.

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

THE TRINA THING IS NOT GOING LIKE I PLANNED IT.

I GOTTA CUT THIS SONG.

HUH?

LAST TIME I DID THIS, I WALKED OFF THE STAGE.

YOU BETTER NOT.

NOW,

NOW, WHEN

NOW, WHEN I

NOW, WHEN I WAS

NOW, WHEN I WAS BORN,

NOW, WHEN I WAS BORN, I

NOW, WHEN I WAS BORN, I HAD

NOW, WHEN I WAS BORN, I HAD A

NOW, WHEN I WAS BORN, I HAD A MIDWIFE.

YEARS AGO, YOU HAD MIDWIVES. I- OH, REALLY?E.

THERE'S ALWAYS HELP AVAILABLE.

ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH A DOULA?

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT DOULAS AT ALL?

- NO, WHAT'S THAT? - OKAY, SO, A DOULA,

BASICALLY, IS SOMEBODY TO SUPPORT A WOMAN

IN PREGNANCY AND IN LABOR,

AND HER PARTNER, EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY.

DOING ANYTHING TO HELP YOU STAY RELAXED.

ALSO, MAKING SURE YOUR PARTNER IS TAKING BREAKS TO EAT,

STAYING HYDRATED, ALL THAT GOOD STUFF.

THAT'S THE BEST THING I HEARD SINCE THIS WHOLE CONVERSATION,

IS THE-THE DIVO.

I MEAN, WHAT IS IT, THE DOULA? - DOULA, DOULA.

- HOW I GET TWO OF THOSE? - WELL, I'M-I'M A--

I'M A DOULA-- SO, THAT'S WHAT I DO,

AND THERE'S A LOT OF US OUT THERE.

I'M ABSOLUTELY GETTIN' A DOULA.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, I'M GETTIN' TWO.

ONE FOR ME AND ONE FOR VINCE,

'CAUSE I WANT MY DOULA ALL TO MYSELF, YOU KNOW?

I DON'T NEED MY DOULA GOING TO GET VINCE

NO CRANBERRY JUICE.

THAT-- NO, THAT'S FOR ME.

I DON'T NEED MY DOULA GOING TO ASK THE DOCTOR

NOTHIN' THAT VINCE WANTS TO KNOW.

NO, THAT'S FOR ME.

LIKE, I'M GONNA NEED THE DOULA TO DO

WHAT THE HELL I TELL HER TO DO... LA.

AND I WANNA PROVE THAT I'M NOT JUST TONI BRAXTON'S SISTER,

BUT I'M MY OWN ARTIST.

AND AFTER YESTERDAY'S REHEARSAL,

I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED.

ESPECIALLY SINCE WE ONLY HAVE A FEW MORE HOURS LEFT

TO MAKE THIS FLAWLESS.

♪ EVERYBODY STOP AND THEY'RE LOOKIN' AT ME ♪

♪ SAYIN' WHO'S THAT LADY ACTIN' ALL CRAZY ♪

WHERE'S TRACI?

♪ HANDS IN THE AIR ♪ - WHERE'S TRACI?

♪ BABY LET ME KNOW ♪

WHERE'S TRACI? ♪ ONE TWO THREE READY SET READY GO ♪

♪ I NEED THE SOUND OF THE BAND PEOPLE IN THE STANDS ♪

♪ EVERYBODY'S SCREAMING LIKE THE NUMBER ONE FAN ♪

♪ 'CAUSE IT'S GAME TIME IT'S GAME TIME ♪

♪ 'CAUSE IT'S GAME TIME IT'S GAME TIME ♪

TRACI AND TOWANDA DON'T SEEM TO KNOW THE WORDS TO THE SONG

OR THEIR DANCE MOVES AS WELL AS I WOULD LIKE,

AND I DON'T FEEL GOOD RIGHT NOW.

PERHAPS, I'VE BITTEN OFF MORE THAN I CAN CHEW

BY INVITING TRINA TO PERFORM.

- YEAH! - I'M GONNA NEED YOU NOT TO DO THE ROBOT, TOWANDA.

- I CAN'T DO THE ROBOT? - NO.

- WHY? - D-DON'T DO THE ROBOT.

THE ROBOT WASN'T RIGHT. - YOU DIDN'T LIKE THE ROBOT?

DON'T DO THE ROBOT, I PROMISE YOU.

I ALWAYS DO THE ROBOT.

I MEAN, I THINK THAT THE BAND AND EVERYONE,

I THINK THEY LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING ME DO THE...

ROBOT.

OKAY. - OKAY.

I NEED Y'ALL TO BE ALIGNED.

IF YOU TOUCHING THE PIANO, TOWANDA, YOU'RE TOO CLOSE.

AND, TRACI, YOUR FOOT SHOULD BE RIGHT BY TRINA'S LEG.

SPACING IS HORRIBLE.

WE LOOK LIKE ON SHINGLES.

AND I KNOW, TONI, YOU KNOW, SHE WANTS EVERYTHING SET.

DO THIS, AND THIS, AND THIS, AND THIS.

I CAN'T--

I'M EMBARRASSED.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO,

'CAUSE THIS IS THE SORE THUMB IN MY SHOW.

THE TRINA THING IS NOT GOING LIKE I PLANNED IT.

I THINK THAT HER SONG IS TOO LONG.

I THINK SHE SHOULD JUST DO ONE.

LET'S GO-GO OVER "GAME TIME" WHILE WE WAITIN'.

OKAY.

I GOTTA CUT THE SONG.

HUH?

TRINA, CAN, UH, CAN YOU DO JUST THE ONE SONG?

JUST THE "PARTY OR GO HOME?"

YEAH.

I AM DEFINITELY DISAPPOINTED THAT TONI CUT "GAME TIME,"

AND PEOPLE WON'T GET TO HEAR MY NEW SINGLE JUST YET.

BUT, AT THE END OF THE DAY,

IF SOMEBODY'S NAME IS ON THE MARQUEE,

IT'S THEIR SHOW,

AND THEY MAKE THE DECISIONS.

WELL, WE HAD IT, THOUGH.

YES, Y'ALL DID-- YOU GUYS ARE DOPE.

TRINA DID NOT FEEL HAPPY AT ALL.

BUT, I'M JUST HAPPY TONI SAID, "NO, YOU AIN'T DOING IT,"

BECAUSE THAT'S LESS CHOREOGRAPHY

THAT I HAVE TO REMEMBER.

SEE YOU GUYS OUT THERE.

I SWEAR, IF I PUT ANYTHING ELSE ON,

IT'S GONNA SQUEEZE ME, AND I'M GOING TO POOP.

THIS IS GONNA BE MY VERY, VERY FIRST TIME

SINGING MY OWN MUSIC IN FRONT OF SUCH A LARGE AUDIENCE,

AND IT'S VERY NERVOUSING,

AND I'M GONNA FEEL VERY, VERY JUDGED TONIGHT.

I HOPE THEY LOVE SOME TRINA, BUT I DON'T KNOW.

LAST TIME I DID THIS,

I WALKED OFF THE STAGE WITH TONI.

I WAS LIKE, OKAY, UM,

I'M JUST LOOKING RATCHET AND RIDICULOUS.

SO, THEREFORE, I WALKED OFF THE STAGE.

WHERE'S TRACI-- DID SHE LEAVE THE STAGE?

TRACI LEFT THE STAGE!

I'M NOT GONNA DO THAT TO YOU.

YOU BETTER NOT.

I AIN'T GONNA WALK OFF THE STAGE OR NOTHIN' LIKE THAT.

WHEN I DID BACK-UP FOR TONI LAST YEAR AND EVERYTHING,

I WALKED OFF THE STAGE AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.

I AIN'T DOING THAT-- FOR WHAT?

THIS IS A CHANCE TO SHOW EVERYBODY

THAT TRACI AIN'T GONNA WALK OFF THE STAGE

OR NOTHIN' LIKE THAT.

GOD, IN THE NAME OF JESUS,

WE JUST ASK THAT YOU GIVE TONI THE FAVOR OF THE PEOPLE

. - AND TRINA,

AND TRACI, AND TOWANDA. - AND ALL OF US, LORD GOD,

LET EVERYTHING COME TO OUR REMEMBRANCE,

AND JUST PUT ON A WONDERFUL SHOW.

IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. - AMEN.

MAYBE BECAUSE IT'S NEW MUSIC.

I'M NOT SURE, BUT WHEN I SING THAT,

TOWANDA AND TRINA WAS UP HERE,

BEING MY DOO-WOP POP-POP CHICKS.

WE HAVE TRACI IN THE BACK-- TAMAR, SHE COULDN'T COME.

SHE'S OUT PROMOTING HER SINGLE.

WE'RE REALLY EXCITED AND PROUD.

GUYS, MAKE SURE YOU CHECK OUT "LOVE AND WAR"

FROM MY BABY SISTER, TAMAR.

BUT, MY SISTER, TRINA, HAS A SINGLE OUT.

YOU GUYS REMEMBER THAT ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES?"

AND I'M THINKIN' SHE SHOULD SING IT TONIGHT.

I THINK SHE SHOULD SING IT.

I'M ABOUT TO STEP ON STAGE, AND MY HEART IS RACING.

MY LEGS ARE SHAKING,

AND I KNOW THIS IS MY CHANCE TO PROVE MYSELF.

IT MIGHT NOT BE THE DEBUT OF "GAME TIME,"

BUT THIS IS PROBABLY THE FIRST TIME A LOT OF THESE TONI FANS

HAVE HEARD "PARTY OR GO HOME."

SO, READY OR NOT, HERE COMES TRINA.

ARE YOU READY-- TRINA, CAN YOU DO IT?

THANK YOU, GUYS, SO MUCH.

I THINK TRINA'S PERFORMANCE WAS SATISFACTORY.

I THINK IT COULD'VE BEEN BETTER-- YES, I DO.

BUT, THAT'S ONLY BECAUSE I'M A PERFECTIONIST.

BUT, I GIVE HER A C-PLUS.

OVERALL, I HAD SO MUCH FUN PERFORMING WITH MY SISTERS.

IT JUST REMINDED ME BACK IN THE DAY,

WHEN WE USED TO PERFORM ALL TOGETHER.

I MESSED UP, BUT I AIN'T WALK OFF THE STAGE.

I AIN'T DO THAT, DID I?

SO, IN YOUR FACE!

THE SHOW IS OVER,

AND I CAN'T TELL IF IT WAS GOOD, IF IT WAS BAD.

- TRACI WAS CRACKING ME UP. - BUT, I WILL SAY THIS.

JUDGING BY THE WAY TOWANDA WAS LAUGHING,

IT DIDN'T GO AS WELL AS I ANTICIPATED.

♪ IF YOU DIDN'T COME TO PARTY THEN YOU BETTER ♪

ON A SCALE OF ONE TO TEN,

I THINK TRINA GAVE ME A FIVE.

I DON'T KNOW IF TRINA'S GONNA USE ME AGAIN.

IT'S A FUN SONG-- YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PARTY.

- DIDN'T SHE JUMP AND LEAP? - IT WAS HILARIOUS.

TRACI LEAPED ALL OVER THE PLACE,

LIKE SHE WAS, LIKE-- YES.

- ARE YOU SERIOUS? - YES.

- I'M GONNA BEAT YOU. - IT WAS PRETTY FUNNY.

IT WAS GOOD, THOUGH-- IT WAS GOOD AND FUN, THOUGH!

AM I SURPRISED?

NO, BUT I'M GLAD SHE DIDN'T WALK OFF.

I'M GLAD SHE DIDN'T WALK OFF.
