Monday on Teen Mom 2, Kailyn Lowry’s St. Thomas vacation got all kinds of dramatic, while Briana DeJesus learned news about Stella.

Meanwhile, Jace’s b-day raised tension between Jenelle and Barbara Evans, and Leah Messer struggled to give the twins’ equal attention.

When Teen Mom 2 Season 9 Episode 16 got underway, Kailyn was enjoying vacation in St. Thomas with her kids. Sounds nice, right?

It was, until her hands and feet started to swell badly, and at 35 weeks pregnant, Lowry feared she might have to give birth right there.

"Imagine giving birth and there’s still sand on my feet from the beach," she said, not losing her sense of humor throughout this ordeal.

Everything turned out fine, but the saddest side effect of all this was that Chris Lopez did not even respond to her messages about it.

“He’s with his other girlfriend,” Kail joked.

It’s not clear if she was serious about that, but then again, nothing is ever clear when it comes to the status of Kailyn and Chris Lopez.

Meanwhile, Jenelle was trying to make Jace feel involved in her wedding, which he was excited about at first … before getting uncomfortable.

“I don’t want you and David [Eason] to get married,” he said, and while he claimed he was kidding, it hit a nerve with Jenelle.

When she dropped him off at her mom’s, Barb said, “I didn’t really want to discuss the wedding thing since I’m not invited."

Never a dull moment with the Evans contingent.

In South Dakota, Chelsea Houska met with her lawyer to discuss hyphenating Aubree’s last name to include her married name DeBoer.

The lawyer reached out to Adam Lind’s lawyer to try to work it out, but couldn’t get ahold of him, so the Housk prepared to go to court solo.

It eventually worked out, and Chelsea was excited, telling her friend regarding her daughter, “I’ve never had the same last name as her."

Elsewhere, Leah Messer decided to take the girls to Florida on vacation, and as always, struggled to find time for each of the three.

Ali’s muscular dystrophy limits her ability to do certain things, and also requires additional care, putting everyone in a difficult spot.

“I just want to be like everybody else,” Ali cried, breaking Leah’s heart into a million pieces as she struggled to care for the others, too.

"I don’t want you to ever feel left out," Leah said.

Finally, Briana DeJesus’ baby Stella has holes in her heart, a condition she can live with, but will require extra care and caution.

Again, the saddest part might have been that Stella’s father Luis didn’t even show up to the hospital or to Bri’s house to see the baby.

“She needs a father in her life, you know. It’s the reason why we kept her,” Briana brutally told Luis when he finally made a rare appearance.

“You hardly even ask how she’s doing.”

Briana tried to keep things civil despite this obvious tension, but her outspoken mother, Roxanne, didn’t hold back in the least:

“You didn’t even have the decency to f–king call … Meanwhile, God knows if she would’ve had a f–king heart attack. You’re a punk."

Not the best timing perhaps, but she’s not wrong. It’s one thing to not be involved romantically with the other parent, but c’mon dude.
