0:00:06 > 0:00:09I'm 16 and I'm 36 weeks pregnant.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11I was really shocked.

0:00:11 > 0:00:14Sort of didn't know what to do at first.

0:00:14 > 0:00:16I was focusing on my wrestling

0:00:16 > 0:00:22and that was not even on my mind, let alone in the back of my mind.

0:00:22 > 0:00:26I can't wait until this part of it is over.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29I just want to get on with it now and be a mum

0:00:29 > 0:00:33so I can get back to being me.

0:00:43 > 0:00:4916 year-old Danielle is due to have a little girl in just four weeks.

0:00:49 > 0:00:53She lives with her mum, Sarah, and gran, Jenny, in Norfolk.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Well, obviously, I'm looking forward to it.

0:00:55 > 0:00:59She better not be like her mother!

0:00:59 > 0:01:01What do you mean? What's wrong with me?

0:01:01 > 0:01:03You used to cry!

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Every baby cries!

0:01:05 > 0:01:08- Not like you two did. - You're never happy, are you?

0:01:08 > 0:01:14I lost my virginity, when I was, just before I turned 14.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18I then fell pregnant when I was 15.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21It was a complete accident, me getting pregnant.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24I was on the pill and had not missed one pill.

0:01:24 > 0:01:2715 is far from an ideal age to have children.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30It's very, very strange looking at your daughter and thinking

0:01:30 > 0:01:33"My word, she's got a little one in there."

0:01:33 > 0:01:38I was disappointed cos I thought she's never going to have, well,

0:01:38 > 0:01:41not a teenager's life, is she? Because of the baby.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46Danielle didn't have her dad in her life until she was 12,

0:01:46 > 0:01:48when mum Sarah revealed who he was.

0:01:48 > 0:01:52CROWD BOOS AND JEERS

0:01:53 > 0:01:57Professional wrestler, Karl "The Barbarian" Kramer.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00It wasn't until, I think it must have been, four or five years ago

0:02:00 > 0:02:03and that's when I told them both, that he was her dad.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05He didn't know either.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09It was a shock for her as much as it was me,

0:02:09 > 0:02:13one, for her to find out who I was

0:02:13 > 0:02:15and for me to find out who she was.

0:02:15 > 0:02:19And ever since then, we've been really, really close.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Before she got pregnant

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Danielle had already left school without her GCSEs,

0:02:24 > 0:02:27and has now decided to follow in her dad's footsteps.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36I've been doing it for about four years now,

0:02:36 > 0:02:38minus the break of me being pregnant.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41But I am hoping to go back to it.

0:02:41 > 0:02:46Her dad wasn't pleased that her career was going to be on hold for a baby.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50It's a stupid age to have a kid, in my eyes.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53You haven't seen life, you haven't been nowhere, or done nothing.

0:02:53 > 0:02:57She was doing well, just starting to get out onto the circuit.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01Now she's back at the bottom again, and she has to work her way back up.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Danielle might not be able to wrestle

0:03:09 > 0:03:13but she's still going every week with her mum, who MCs the matches.

0:03:13 > 0:03:18This is going to be a last man standing match.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25She's desperate to get back in the ring

0:03:25 > 0:03:29and has set a goal of two months after the birth.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37I'm feeling pretty sick at the moment, to be honest,

0:03:37 > 0:03:40getting a bit tired of being pregnant and,

0:03:40 > 0:03:43and watching all of this doesn't really help much.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47One, two...

0:03:54 > 0:03:57No. Come on, you have to...

0:03:57 > 0:04:0216 year-old students Mollie and Ross have been parents for exactly a year.

0:04:02 > 0:04:03She's cleverer than us...

0:04:03 > 0:04:08Daughter Ebonie was one last week. She's now teething and has a virus.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10It will make you feel better.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14EBONIE CRIES AND GRIZZLES

0:04:18 > 0:04:21At 15, Mollie had been seeing Ross for eight months

0:04:21 > 0:04:23when she fell pregnant.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26It wasn't my choice to be pregnant,

0:04:26 > 0:04:29it was a fail of contraception, I was actually on the pill.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32I don't understand what went wrong with it,

0:04:32 > 0:04:35I didn't miss anything, nothing. It just doesn't make sense.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Ross reacted better than I thought.

0:04:37 > 0:04:42I thought he was going to run away from the pregnancy

0:04:42 > 0:04:45but he didn't. He stuck by me and he always has.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48When I found out Mollie was pregnant, initially I was scared

0:04:48 > 0:04:51for what my parents would think, rather than myself.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Six months after her daughter gave birth,

0:04:55 > 0:04:58Mollie's 33 year-old mum and her boyfriend discovered

0:04:58 > 0:05:00they, too, were having a baby.

0:05:00 > 0:05:06Peter and I, we'd been trying for a baby for three-and-a-half years.

0:05:06 > 0:05:11We found out Mollie was pregnant and it sort of threw us both

0:05:11 > 0:05:15because we were meant have the baby, not my baby having a baby!

0:05:15 > 0:05:17It is very, very strange. I've had a lot of comments.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21People teasing me, "Oh, you're a granddad before you're a dad."

0:05:21 > 0:05:25One minute she was playing with dollies and the next she's got a real baby.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27It was just such a shock.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Your worst nightmare come true.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32I was 16 when I had Mollie.

0:05:32 > 0:05:37That's how I knew what she would be going through.

0:05:39 > 0:05:40With another baby on the way

0:05:40 > 0:05:43and all of them living in a two-bedroom house,

0:05:43 > 0:05:46it was decided that Mollie would move out.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48I live in assisted housing with Ebonie.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50It's a one bedroom flat.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53And it's just till I'm on my feet.

0:05:53 > 0:05:54Ross lives with his dad.

0:05:54 > 0:05:58We decided that because we're only young we didn't want to move in

0:05:58 > 0:06:02with each other just yet as it would put a strain on our relationship even more.

0:06:02 > 0:06:06Living with Mollie and Ebonie isn't the most important thing right now

0:06:06 > 0:06:09because we think it's good that if I need to get away for any reason,

0:06:09 > 0:06:12it's good that I can go and have time on my own,

0:06:12 > 0:06:14and I don't feel trapped here.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Spend some time with my friends, without Ebonie.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19It is quite lonely, when I am left on my own.

0:06:19 > 0:06:23I think I would like Ross to move in with me in the future.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Urgh, thanks Ebs!

0:06:33 > 0:06:34It's OK!

0:06:34 > 0:06:37But living away from her mum AND her boyfriend

0:06:37 > 0:06:39is often a struggle for Mollie.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Part of me would like to be back at home with my mum,

0:06:41 > 0:06:46because of the extra hands and help, when things get really hard,

0:06:46 > 0:06:50especially when Ebonie is ill, but you get by and you do it.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Shall we just take this off?

0:06:54 > 0:06:55Take this off?

0:06:58 > 0:07:02Danielle is expecting her baby in just three weeks.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04She might not be able to wrestle herself

0:07:04 > 0:07:06but she's come along to watch as usual.

0:07:06 > 0:07:10Fighting tonight is the father of her child.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Alex Young!

0:07:12 > 0:07:14CHEERING

0:07:16 > 0:07:17BELL RINGS

0:07:17 > 0:07:19Today's wrestling, round one!

0:07:25 > 0:07:30Danielle met Alex two years ago, when she was 14 and he was 16.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34But the relationship ended when Danielle was six months pregnant.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38Because of being pregnant, the break-up messed me up a lot more

0:07:38 > 0:07:41than I think it would have done if I wasn't pregnant.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43It was the immediate thought of,

0:07:43 > 0:07:45"I'm going to be left on my own, what am I going to do?"

0:07:45 > 0:07:48But we both decided that we were still going to be friends.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51He still wanted to be in the baby's life.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53I said that was absolutely fine.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56We're good friends and everything, we still talk,

0:07:56 > 0:08:00every now and then we'll text each other and have a phone call,

0:08:00 > 0:08:05just see how things are going and stuff, so we still stay in contact.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08I'm going to be there, I'm not worried about it or anything.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Danielle has moved on since the split.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14Also on the bill tonight is her new boyfriend.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17MUSIC PLAYS

0:08:19 > 0:08:2323-year-old Scott, AKA Fusion.

0:08:26 > 0:08:31I've known him for, well, since I started, so that's about four years.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34He is quite a bit older. I mean, he's 23.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39I was just surprised that another man

0:08:39 > 0:08:44would want to go out with somebody who was eight months pregnant.

0:08:44 > 0:08:45But he's a nice chap though.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49He does know the father of the baby.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52They are quite good friends, funnily enough.

0:08:52 > 0:08:53I was absolutely fine with it.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56I knew me and Danielle wouldn't get back together.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58I was trying to get on with my life

0:08:58 > 0:09:00and glad to see she was trying to get on with hers.

0:09:00 > 0:09:05He's a nice guy and everything, so I'm happy for them.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08He was one of the first two people, other than her father,

0:09:08 > 0:09:10that I wanted to discuss the relationship with.

0:09:10 > 0:09:14He said that if Danielle was to be with anybody else

0:09:14 > 0:09:17within the wrestling company, he'd rather it be me

0:09:17 > 0:09:21because he knows he can trust me and I'm not going to mess around when it comes to his child.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25I'm just going to be there solely for Danielle, but also for the baby as well.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29But with Alex being as close to us as he is,

0:09:29 > 0:09:32I can't really see there being much of an issue.

0:09:40 > 0:09:45In Hertfordshire, 16-year-old Mollie has been living alone with daughter Ebonie for two months.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50Boyfriend Ross still lives with his dad

0:09:50 > 0:09:54but spends a lot of time at Mollie's flat, as does his best friend Matt.

0:09:56 > 0:10:00Ross can be very immature, especially when he's with Matt.

0:10:00 > 0:10:06They have their boyish ways of being boys.

0:10:07 > 0:10:11I do not like computer games, they're horrible.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14They're mind-controlling.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17I do get a little bit annoyed when he plays computer games,

0:10:17 > 0:10:21but the rule is he's only allowed to play computer games when Ebonie is in bed.

0:10:21 > 0:10:26Mollie finds the computer games the hardest thing to compete with.

0:10:26 > 0:10:32She's forever messaging me, "I'm bored."

0:10:32 > 0:10:34Ross is allowed to be a proper teenager.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37I don't think I've ever been a proper teenager.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40I'd say I was possibly born to be a mum.

0:10:40 > 0:10:44She might be a natural mum, but she also wants a career.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48Mollie got nine GCSE's while she was pregnant.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51A future for me is really important because I've got to not only think about me

0:10:51 > 0:10:55but think about Ebonie, which is why I decided to go to college

0:10:55 > 0:10:57and study health and social care

0:10:57 > 0:11:00because I'd like to become a midwife.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09What's Mummy going to do today? Mummy's going to go to college.

0:11:09 > 0:11:10Right, see you later.

0:11:10 > 0:11:14Both Mollie and Ross are in full-time education

0:11:14 > 0:11:17so Mollie's mum Tracey helps out with the childcare.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29Juggling my studying with Ebonie is OK,

0:11:29 > 0:11:34but if she's had a sleepless night, cos I've got to get up at seven,

0:11:34 > 0:11:38if she's had me up for an hour every other hour,

0:11:38 > 0:11:42it's sort of, you come in and you're really tired and you don't feel like learning.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45And that's the time when you want to switch your alarm off

0:11:45 > 0:11:47and pretend you don't have to get up,

0:11:47 > 0:11:49but really you have to get on with it.

0:11:49 > 0:11:53Mollie, your reasons for being a midwife?

0:11:53 > 0:11:57I guess when I was in labour, there wasn't a very nice midwife

0:11:57 > 0:12:01and I thought it was a bit weird her being a midwife if she's not going to be nice to people.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04So you'd like to make sure everyone had a friendly midwife?

0:12:04 > 0:12:06That's a good reason.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11If I don't pass, I'll feel I've not only failed me but Ebonie as well,

0:12:11 > 0:12:15because I think it's important for me to do something

0:12:15 > 0:12:18that can provide her for her future as well as mine.

0:12:25 > 0:12:29Juggling college four days a week with looking after a teething Ebonie

0:12:29 > 0:12:32leaves hardly any alone time for the teenage couple.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36I don't think we're as romantic as we used to be.

0:12:36 > 0:12:40They should spend more time together as a couple,

0:12:40 > 0:12:44and I've always said, it's so important for you two to just to be you two

0:12:44 > 0:12:47and to be teenagers.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49Do you want your bottle?

0:12:49 > 0:12:52There's so much time taken up by looking after Ebonie,

0:12:52 > 0:12:56we've got to make sure we make time for each other and stop being Mum and Dad,

0:12:56 > 0:13:00otherwise it'll just start to ruin things.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17In Norfolk, 16-year-old Danielle is now a mum.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20She gave birth to daughter Gracie two weeks ago.

0:13:23 > 0:13:24BABY SNEEZES

0:13:28 > 0:13:32She was seven pounds two ounces when she was born.

0:13:32 > 0:13:36She has been really good so far, actually, she only wakes up

0:13:36 > 0:13:40once or twice in the night and she's not really a crier, to be honest.

0:13:40 > 0:13:46It's tiring, really tiring, but I wouldn't swap it for the world now.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49She's definitely got my nose and my mouth.

0:13:49 > 0:13:54Up from her nose to her eyes and the way her face is,

0:13:54 > 0:13:56I think she definitely looks like Alex.

0:13:56 > 0:14:00I couldn't be more proud of the way Danielle coped with everything.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03She did a lot better than I did, and she's still doing really well.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08Danielle's old wrestling partner, Alice,

0:14:08 > 0:14:12is here for the first sleepover since the baby arrived.

0:14:12 > 0:14:16- What have you been doing this week? - What have I been doing?

0:14:16 > 0:14:20I've not really been doing that much. Looking after a baby and that's about it.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23When I was breast-feeding her I tried my breast milk.

0:14:23 > 0:14:28I can't help it, I wanted to know how it tasted! It just tastes like sweet normal milk.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31And it was actually quite nice, I could actually drink that.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33"Happily drink my breast milk, you know."

0:14:33 > 0:14:37Know what? After I tried it I was like, "Wow. I don't blame you for liking boobs."

0:14:37 > 0:14:42With the birth behind her, Danielle is now focusing on getting back in the ring.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45Dan, when are you coming back to wrestling?

0:14:45 > 0:14:48I'll aim to come back mid-February and just see how it goes.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51I'm a bit nervous about it cos obviously I need to

0:14:51 > 0:14:54get my body used to it again, because you don't naturally

0:14:54 > 0:14:57throw yourself back and hurt yourself, do you?

0:14:57 > 0:15:01It's not a natural thing to do, so I have to get used to doing it again.

0:15:01 > 0:15:05She's a really good wrestler. Like, I look up to her for wrestling

0:15:05 > 0:15:09cos she's a big influence on me in wrestling. She's a natural at it.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13I think now she's a terrific mum and I think it's good that she wants

0:15:13 > 0:15:16to carry on wrestling as well. She hasn't just given up.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18I think I'm actually really proud of her,

0:15:18 > 0:15:20how she's done and everything.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30Back in Hertfordshire, Mollie has gone to visit

0:15:30 > 0:15:35her 18-year-old friend Marissa, who was also a mum at 15.

0:15:41 > 0:15:42Are you playing?

0:15:44 > 0:15:49After just half an hour together, Ebonie's teething takes its toll.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52BABY CRIES

0:15:52 > 0:15:57Hey, look at Mummy, look at Mummy. Stop, stop.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Ebonie doesn't sleep through the night

0:15:59 > 0:16:01since her teeth have started coming up, so at night-time

0:16:01 > 0:16:05she wakes up three to four times for her bottle, and if I don't

0:16:05 > 0:16:11give her her bottle she'll scream and scream and scream and scream.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14BABY CRIES

0:16:16 > 0:16:17BABY CONTINUES TO CRY

0:16:27 > 0:16:30After battling to get Ebonie to sleep for three-and-a-half hours,

0:16:30 > 0:16:32Mollie gives up.

0:16:32 > 0:16:33Hey...

0:16:35 > 0:16:36What's with that racket?

0:16:36 > 0:16:40I feel sorry for you having to put up with that and go to college.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43Yeah, it's difficult. You're just a terror.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48Ross and friend Matt arrive and take Ebonie home

0:16:48 > 0:16:50so Mollie can spend time with her friend,

0:16:50 > 0:16:53something Ross has been trying to do more of lately.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55Be good for Dada.

0:16:55 > 0:16:56That's a no. See ya, Mollie.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Have fun!

0:17:01 > 0:17:05Back at Mollie's flat, the boys are home alone with Ebonie.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Ross?- Yeah. - You know what you should do?- What?

0:17:08 > 0:17:12- Big pile of washing. - Er, no.- Why?

0:17:12 > 0:17:13Cos that's not my job.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15Come on then, what are we going to make?

0:17:15 > 0:17:21- Feeling like a dad? - I don't know.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24Not really. It's still a bit surreal.

0:17:24 > 0:17:30- Mum.- Ma-ma-Mum is not here, Ebonie, I'm afraid.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32- You have Matt and Ross. - Matt and Dad.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36Ross to me. Matt and Dad, then, there you go.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39When you're talking to her you have to refer to me as Dad.

0:17:39 > 0:17:45Ross is a good dad. I mean, he does a lot more things around the house,

0:17:45 > 0:17:50looks after Ebonie, whereas before he didn't do anything really much.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52He's changed a lot.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Good girl. None of my friends have kids

0:17:54 > 0:17:58and I haven't made any friends through having Ebonie that have children.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01And I often find it difficult to make new friends.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03I feel...

0:18:03 > 0:18:09kind of like I've jumped ahead of everyone and left everyone else behind me.

0:18:09 > 0:18:14At first, it caused quite a bit of trouble between me and my friends, but a lot of the real friends,

0:18:14 > 0:18:20we got over it and they've learned to live with the fact that I'm a parent now

0:18:20 > 0:18:23and not some silly little teenager.

0:18:23 > 0:18:24Is that baby?

0:18:31 > 0:18:35While Ross is becoming a hands-on dad, in Norfolk,

0:18:35 > 0:18:38new dad Alex isn't finding that so easy.

0:18:38 > 0:18:43His daughter is two-weeks-old and he's only seen her twice since the birth.

0:18:45 > 0:18:50- If you need to switch your grip tell me, dude.- It's all right, I'm good now.- OK.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53I'm missing a lot of things, yeah, like her baths and everything.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55I haven't bathed her, I've never fed her,

0:18:55 > 0:18:58The most I've done for her is cuddle her and change her bum.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00That's the most I've done for her, to be honest.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03So, yeah, I feel like I'm missing a lot of things.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05Alex lives an hour away

0:19:05 > 0:19:10and travelling between the two is difficult for him and Danielle.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12We're having quite a few problems

0:19:12 > 0:19:15in being able to see each other's point of view.

0:19:15 > 0:19:20I think Alex ideally wants for me to take her to him.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23I think I'm just going to have to take it as it comes

0:19:23 > 0:19:27and keep in mind that she's the most important thing.

0:19:27 > 0:19:31She's in Danielle's care, to be honest, so basically I have to

0:19:31 > 0:19:37sort of do what she tells me and try to abide by her rules,

0:19:37 > 0:19:39which I don't like.

0:19:39 > 0:19:44Yeah, I really do wish I had waited for maybe somebody, like,

0:19:44 > 0:19:48who I knew I was going to be in a relationship with and stuff,

0:19:48 > 0:19:52but obviously things don't always work out the way you want them to.

0:19:52 > 0:19:56Alex is in training for a big wrestling match tomorrow night.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58But this is no ordinary fight.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01His opponent is Danielle's boyfriend, Scott.

0:20:01 > 0:20:05Hopefully I'm going to walk out champion.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08- That's what I'm hoping anyway. - I'm just hoping you walk out, mate.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11Since relations have deteriorated between Alex and Danielle,

0:20:11 > 0:20:16things between Alex and Scott have also gone downhill.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19He is now with the mother of your child,

0:20:19 > 0:20:21so you're always going to be a part of her life.

0:20:21 > 0:20:25You're telling me that's not going to grate on him?

0:20:25 > 0:20:29Probably does. Still, hopefully things'll be sorted between me and him.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31We can hope.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35It's the night of the big fight.

0:20:36 > 0:20:42Danielle watches from the sidelines as her ex and current boyfriends battle it out in the ring.

0:21:11 > 0:21:17Both wrestlers, out of control. This is now a no-contest!

0:21:17 > 0:21:20We want more! We want more! We want more!

0:21:20 > 0:21:24The referee has stopped the fight and declared it a no-contest,

0:21:24 > 0:21:26making nobody a winner.

0:21:28 > 0:21:33'I was, sort of a little bit apprehensive as to what was going to happen.'

0:21:33 > 0:21:36I think it was a fair match for a good ten minutes.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39And then I think it went a bit sort of skew-whiff.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42I don't know, what that's got to do with...

0:21:42 > 0:21:45Maybe it's unfinished business. Maybe it's something to do with me.

0:21:45 > 0:21:49They might've taken personal differences into the ring,

0:21:49 > 0:21:51or maybe they just got a bit too carried away.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58Ebonie, say, "I love my mummy."

0:21:59 > 0:22:02While things remain tricky for Danielle,

0:22:02 > 0:22:06life for Mollie and Ross is looking a lot more settled.

0:22:07 > 0:22:13Fatherhood's good. It's becoming challenging as Ebonie gets older but still enjoying it.

0:22:14 > 0:22:18I'm at Mollie's pretty much all the time.

0:22:18 > 0:22:22The priority now is my family. It's about me, Mollie and Ebonie,

0:22:22 > 0:22:24and they come first.

0:22:24 > 0:22:28- Who's idea was it to get her ice-cream?- Yum yum!

0:22:28 > 0:22:32I'm a lot more happier now. I'm happy with where we're headed.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37Hello! Is it silly?

0:22:38 > 0:22:42I do think we're closer, me and Ross, now.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45We recently went to the cinema and a concert together,

0:22:45 > 0:22:50and it made us feel closer as a couple because we haven't really done it for ages.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53I think that was the first proper night we've been out since we've had her.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56But it felt quite nice to just have a little break

0:22:56 > 0:22:58and just be us for a little while.

0:23:00 > 0:23:01It feels like spring.

0:23:02 > 0:23:06Since me and Ross first got together, I think I love him more than I first did,

0:23:06 > 0:23:09because we've come so far and been through so much.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11I do feel proud and happy that we are still together

0:23:11 > 0:23:14because when people say, "Does she see her dad?",

0:23:14 > 0:23:17I'm like, "Yeah, she lives with her dad, pretty much."

0:23:17 > 0:23:21They look at me, thinking, "Really?" I'm like, "We've been together for three years,"

0:23:21 > 0:23:24and they're like, "What?". I'm like, "Yeah."

0:23:24 > 0:23:27He's got a toothbrush, a deodorant and a shower gel,

0:23:27 > 0:23:30which is in the bathroom, and obviously his PlayStation.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33And his best friend, who lives here, practically.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35Yeah, pretty much!

0:23:35 > 0:23:39I'd to think we break the mould of stereotypical teen parents.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42It's quite a horrible stereotype to be put into.

0:23:42 > 0:23:47I want to prove everyone wrong, that I'm not the mess-up that's going to ruin my child's life,

0:23:47 > 0:23:53and I think that stereotype helps to aspire me to be a good parent,

0:23:53 > 0:23:56because that's the last thing I want to be.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59Yeah, I'm glad I stuck around and I didn't run away.

0:23:59 > 0:24:04If I hadn't stuck around I wouldn't have been able to watch my little girl grow up.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06And it means a lot to me.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Boo!

0:24:18 > 0:24:22Back in Norfolk, Danielle's wrestling career has been on hold for a year,

0:24:22 > 0:24:28but with the baby now two-months-old she's ready to get back in the ring for the first time.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31I'm pretty nervous about it. I've been training all weekend

0:24:31 > 0:24:34to get my body used to it again, and that's gone really well.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37So I'm hoping that tonight's going to go really well.

0:24:37 > 0:24:41I haven't tried my wrestling gear on yet because I've been a little bit too afraid to.

0:24:41 > 0:24:45I thought if I leave it until THE night, I've got no choice but to go out there!

0:24:45 > 0:24:48- Do you want to see some wrestling? - Yeah!

0:24:48 > 0:24:50Let's get this show on the road!

0:24:50 > 0:24:52CHEERING

0:25:12 > 0:25:18Getting back in the ring has made her think about how to juggle her career as a wrestler with Gracie.

0:25:19 > 0:25:23Wrestling is most definitely what I want to do.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27Gracie will affect my career in terms of going abroad,

0:25:27 > 0:25:31but that is something I knew would happen and I went into with open eyes.

0:25:31 > 0:25:36I am happy to wrestle in Norwich for the rest of my life.

0:25:36 > 0:25:40I'm that addicted to it, I'd wrestle in the same show,

0:25:40 > 0:25:46in the same match every night if I had to, because that is what I want to do.

0:25:51 > 0:25:55After a successful night's wrestling, Danielle is back in her role as a mum,

0:25:55 > 0:25:58and boyfriend Scott is by her side.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00Before we were together when I knew you,

0:26:00 > 0:26:04I wouldn't have been able to see you sat there with a baby.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07You're pretty serious-looking and you're quiet.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10To everybody else, not to me.

0:26:10 > 0:26:16It's just a little bit strange at times obviously cos I'm not her real father.

0:26:16 > 0:26:23I do what I can with what I'm able to, I think's the best way to describe it.

0:26:23 > 0:26:28Even though she's not mine, she still needs that figure

0:26:28 > 0:26:34of a second, not parent, but stable individual in her life

0:26:34 > 0:26:37when Alex isn't around.

0:26:39 > 0:26:42Things between Alex and Danielle haven't improved.

0:26:42 > 0:26:46He put himself in the situation where he had a child on the way

0:26:46 > 0:26:49and he left.

0:26:49 > 0:26:53I'll never forgive him, for leaving me, for leaving her.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56Still, even though I don't have any feelings for him any more,

0:26:56 > 0:27:01it still sort of makes me tear up a bit just because...

0:27:01 > 0:27:06I used to think, when I have kids I wanted them to be

0:27:06 > 0:27:10in a stable home with stable parents who'd get on,

0:27:10 > 0:27:13and she will now never have that.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15I never had that.

0:27:15 > 0:27:19She won't have what the majority of other kids around her will have,

0:27:19 > 0:27:23which is what I will always be apologising to her for.

0:27:25 > 0:27:29But Scott's amazing with Gracie. He loves her to pieces.

0:27:29 > 0:27:32He doesn't call himself Dad but he's there for her,

0:27:32 > 0:27:35and that's all I'd want from a partner.

0:27:35 > 0:27:39I wouldn't want her to be under anyone else's care but mine and his,

0:27:39 > 0:27:43and Scott is now one of the only people I can really be myself with.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46Obviously, having Gracie has changed me quite a bit

0:27:46 > 0:27:49but I wouldn't have it any other way.

0:27:49 > 0:27:53Next time, we meet 16-year-old Amy from Plymouth.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55So you're just going to leave me? Huh?!

0:27:55 > 0:27:57They'll never be good for each other.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00Everything I do for him, he just throws it back in my face.

0:28:00 > 0:28:01I just can't do it anymore.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03And Naomi from Derbyshire.

0:28:03 > 0:28:06It's my mistake but a good mistake.

0:28:06 > 0:28:09I'm happy.
