23/2/19: Updated with new links. :)
Unexpected (full title Unexpected: Teenage & Pregnant) is an American reality TV series following the lives of pregnant teenagers and their partners, and their journey into parenthood. It's the TLC version of the hit show 16 and Pregnant, which spawned the spin off Teen Mom. The first series/season was shown last year, and Series 2 was shown in the US this summer and has just started in the UK.
Season 1 followed 16 year old Lilly Bennett and her boyfriend James, 15 year old Lexus Scheller and boyfriend Shayden, 17, and Mckayla Adkins 16 and her boyfriend Caelan Morrison. Lilly gave birth to daughter Aaliyah Rose, Lexus had a daughter named Scarlett, and McKayla had son Timothy (Timmy).
All 3 of the girls' mums were also teen mothers, and in Lexus' case her grandmother was a teen mum too.
S2 catches up with Mckayla and Lexus, and introduce some new girls and their boyfriends. I'm focusing mainly on the girls here, like with my Teen Mom posts. :)
Mckayla Adkins
Mckayla, from Salem, Ohio, was raised by her grandparents Tim and Cindy, due to her mum Shannon being unable to care for her and her brother. In S1 Shannon and Mckayla were pregnant at the same time. (She had a little girl called Lilly). Caelan's mum Shelly didn't get on well with Shannon.
Now nearly 18, Mckayla has announced to her grandparents that she wants to move in with Shannon. They are not that happy with the idea because they'll miss her and Timmy, and Mckayla and Shannon's relationship hasn't been that good in the past. Makayla and Caelan have also had a rocky relationship but are believed to currently be together.

Lexus Scheller
Lexus and Shayden from Monticello, Indiana, had a hard time adjusting to life as new parents. In Episode 1 of S2, we learnt that they have broken up. Their relationship appeared rocky at the end of the first series and he went to jail for violating probation. Lexus also reveals that she cheated on him with a female friend. But she says that she misses him and wants to get back together.
Lexus and her mum Kelsey (who became a grandmother at 31) are also getting on better, and Kelsey is helping her daughter raise Scarlett.

Lilly Bennett
Lilly, from Riverhead, New York, had only been dating her boyfriend James Kennedy for a few months before she got pregnant. During the first series Lilly seemed more committed to the relationship and their family than James. They don't appear in S2 which i s a shame because I liked Lilly, but you can read an article about her here: https://www.romper.com/p/who-is-lilly-on-unexpected-this-teen-mother-is-making-it-work-7663169

New Girls:
Chloe Mendoza
16 year old Chloe, from Phoenix, Arizona, is having a baby girl with her boyfriend Max Schenzel, 18. In the first episode she admitted that she only had sex with him so he wouldn't leave her, a revelation which he isn't too happy about! Her mum Jessica was also a teen mother. She and Chloe's stepdad Nate aren't too keen on Max. He was arrested in June, which wouldn't have helped things.
Chloe gave birth to daughter Ava in July.

Emiley Noack
18 year old cheerleader Emiley is pregnant by boyfriend Diego Reyes. They live in Frederick, Oklahoma. They planned not to have sex before marriage, but the plan changed! So far Diego doesn't seem too supportive and it has emerged that he's often "mean" to people. Emiley plans to get back into cheering and sports after her daughter is born.

We haven't seen Laura in the UK yet because we've had only episode so far, so we'll see her later. She's having a baby with Tylor. According to Starcasm they're both 18. I can't find much info on her, but will update once I've seen more episodes. :) (I can't visit the official American TLC site because it isn't available in the UK/outside of the US).
