What Happened: Before Alex got pregnant she was a dancer, and helped teach kids to dance. Alex's boyfriend, Matt is always getting in trouble. Matt has a serious drug problem and Alex considers adoption. Matt thinks that putting up their daughter for adoption would be best because they aren't ready to be parents. Alex wants to keep their baby but it isn't easy and Matt is never around because he's always taking off and disappearing. As Alex draws closer to her due date she still can't make a decision. Alex's friends parents want to adopt and ask Alex if they can adopt her baby and Alex likes the idea of someone she knows adopt her baby instead of someone she doesn't. After Alex has baby Arabella she can't give her up, and when she tells her friends parents, they are sad but they've helped Alex get a new place, since she's not allowed to move back home with her baby. But a few weeks later Alex's mom decides to let her come back home, so she can have the help of her family. Alex's family throws her a welcome home/baby shower, but it gets interrupted when the woman Alex was living with needs the rent money, that Alex doesn't have, and threatens to throw out her things. So Alex and her mom and a few family members go over there and pick up her things. Alex gets frustrated when she needs Matt to watch Arabella so she can go to work but he doesn't show up and Alex misses work. When Matt comes over a few days later, and Alex confronts him about him not showing up and they get into an argument. Alex asks him if he wants to be a part of Arabella's life because he is her father.
What I Think: I think that Matt should try to be a part of Arabella's life after he's changed, and he can be the parents Alex wants him to be and that Arabella needs. Alex should just leave him and let him do what he needs to do to change and grow up.
