"AAH." DADDY'S FEEDING YOU -- DADA. SAY, "DADDY, COME ON." I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN COLUMBUS, OHIO. MY MOM -- SHE WAS A SINGLE MOTHER, AND SHE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY COMING IN. IT WAS JUST ONCE A MONTH. AND IT WAS WHATEVER THE WELFARE SYSTEM GAVE HER. SO WE DIDN'T ALWAYS HAVE WHAT WE WANTED. I GREW UP IN CALIFORNIA. MY MOTHER AND FATHER BROKE UP. WE HOPPED ON THE GREYHOUND. WE CAME TO COLUMBUS. THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH THE LAST TIME I SEEN MY FATHER. I JUST FELT ALONE BECAUSE MY DAD WAS THE HERO, AND HE WAS NO LONGER THERE. Mia: AS SOON AS I TURNED 18, ME AND MY MOM'S RELATIONSHIP HAD REALLY DECLINED. AND SHE PUT ME OUT. SHE TOLD ME TO GET OUT. SO WE HAD TO GROW UP REALLY FAST. Rozonno: MIA AND I MET IN HIGH SCHOOL. I'LL TELL YOU MIA HAD THE PRETTIEST EYES. WHEN I SAW HER, I SAID, "ONE DAY, SHE'S GONNA BE MY WIFE." I COME OVER TO HER HOUSE. SHE HAVE A LITTLE TIGHT, LITTLE LEOPARD UNIFORM. [ BOTH LAUGH ] YOU ARE A LIAR. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. LEOPARD OUTFIT. HE MUST MISTAKE ME WITH SOMEBODY ELSE. WE, LIKE, REALLY CLICKED. SHE CALLED ME UP. I'M LIKE, "MIA, WHAT DO YOU WANT?" "I JUST WANT TO HEAR YOUR VOICE." NO, I DID NOT. ROZIE, YOU BETTER STOP LYING. EVERYTHING I SAID -- EVERYTHING I SAID IS THE TRUTH, AND THAT'S NOT THE TRUTH. "SO WHEN YOU COMING TO MOVE IN WITH ME?" NO, I DID NOT. I'M GONNA... YOU SAY YOU'RE SORRY. SAY YOU'RE WRONG. TELL THEM YOU'RE LYING. MIA, YOU WAS IN LOVE WITH ME. NO! OH! OH, YOU ABOUT TO GET KICKED OUT. [ LAUGHS ] I MEAN, I ADMIT I FELL IN LOVE, MIA. IS IT THAT HARD TO ADMIT? YEAH, I FELL IN LOVE. IT'S OKAY. BUT YOU ACTING LIKE YOU AIN'T FALL IN LOVE. I AM IN LOVE. THE NEXT YEAR, WE WIND UP MARRYING. I WAS 18. HE WAS 19. WE DIDN'T HAVE A WEDDING. MIA WAS, LIKE, THE ONLY ONE THAT CAME TO MY GRADUATION, YOU KNOW, SO I THOUGHT, LIKE, "MAN, THIS IS A GOOD GIRL, YOU KNOW. SHE'S REAL COOL AND EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW." "SHE'S REAL COOL." "I MIGHT AS WELL MARRY HER." "MIGHT AS WELL MARRY HER." IT WAS ABOUT MAYBE OUR FIFTH YEAR OF MARRIAGE WE START REALLY THINKING ABOUT STARTING A FAMILY. AND JUST NOTHING WORKED. WE STARTED WITH, LIKE, ORAL MEDICATIONS, AND NOTHING WORKED. THE DOCTOR HAD SAID, "YOU GUYS PROBABLY WOULD NEED INJECTABLE DRUGS." BY THE END OF FEBRUARY, I WAS PREGNANT, AND IT WAS WITH TWINS. I WAS THE HAPPIEST FATHER ON EARTH. I WAS TELLING EVERYBODY I KNEW THAT I'M HAVING TWINS. "I'M HAVING TWINS. I'M HAVING TWINS." Mia: I WAS 19 WEEKS AND 6 DAYS. I WENT INTO PRETERM LABOR AND LOST THE TWINS. YOU KNOW, MIA WANTED TO BE A MOTHER, AND I WAS WANTING TO BE A FATHER. AND SHE FELT LIKE SHE LET ME DOWN. I FELT POWERLESS. I MEAN, JUST BEING A MOM AND YOUR BABIES JUST SLIPPING AWAY FROM YOU -- THEIR LIFE. I'M GONNA CRY. [ LAUGHS ] IT WAS HORRIBLE FOR US. Rozonno: SIX, SEVEN MONTHS LATER, I SAID, "MIA, DO YOU WANT TO START ANOTHER FAMILY?" WE PRAYED AND WE PRAYED AND WE PRAYED. DECEMBER 2009, IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT I WAS PREGNANT WITH A HOME PREGNANCY TEST. AND THEN JANUARY IS WHEN WE HAD THE ULTRASOUND. I KEPT SEEING THE DOCTOR POINT TO THE SCREEN. LIKE, "WHAT IN THE WORLD?" Rozonno: AND IT WAS LIKE HE WAS, LIKE, COUNTING. Mia: BY NOW, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WE KNEW WHAT WE WERE LOOKING AT. AND THE DOCTOR KEPT SAYING, "OH, MY GOD." [ HEART BEATING ] Mia: IT WAS HEARTBEATS. Rozonno: ONE, TWO, THREE... IT WAS SO MANY, I COULDN'T EVEN COUNT IT. ...AND THEN WENT TO SIX. I HAD TO, LIKE, BRACE MYSELF AGAINST THE WALL. IT WAS LIKE, "DID I PRAY TOO MUCH?" Rozonno: LOOK AT THAT BELLY. YOU LOOKING ALL RIGHT TO ME. YEAH, RIGHT. Mia: WE MADE IT TO 27 WEEKS, FOUR DAYS, WHICH IS EXTREMELY EARLY -- VERY EARLY. ALL THE BABIES ARE DEFINITELY KICKING AND MOVING AND GETTING READY TO, YOU KNOW, COME OUT. WHAT'S TODAY? Rozonno: TODAY IS THE BIG DAY. THE MORNING JUNE 9, 2010 -- I WAS EXCITED BECAUSE I'M LIKE, "THIS IS THE DAY I'M GONNA BECOME A MOM." Rozonno: I DIDN'T SLEEP THE NIGHT BEFORE MIA WAS GETTING READY TO HAVE THE BABIES. I DIDN'T SLEEP. EACH BABY HAS A TEAM OF FOUR -- THREE PHYSICIANS AND A NURSE. ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU HAVE, LIKE, A WHOLE HOSPITAL FULL OF DOCTORS IN THIS DELIVERY ROOM DELIVERING THESE BABIES? THEY WERE LIKE, "YEAH." Rozonno: MIA, GOOD LUCK, BABE, OKAY? I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU, TOO. KIDS, I'LL SEE YOU WHEN YOU GET OUT, OKAY? I LOVE Y'ALL. [ MONITOR BEEPING ] I REMEMBER THEY SAID, "I DON'T THINK THE BABIES IS GONNA CRY BECAUSE THEIR LUNGS AREN'T DEVELOPED." [ BABY CRYING ] EACH OF MY SIX KIDS CRIED. EACH OF THEM DID CRY -- LITTLE, TINY, LITTLE BABIES, BUT THEY CRIED. [ BABY CRYING ] WE HAD A REALLY SUCCESSFUL DELIVERY. OKAY. THIS IS "A." [ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ] Woman: OHH! Mia: FAMILY AND FRIENDS ALL SWARMED AROUND. THERE WAS A LOT OF LOVE AND SUPPORT. OHH! Woman #2: OHH! BABY "E." BABY "E." AND SHE'LL WANT TO SEE THE KIDS, TOO. THANK YOU. THIS IS MOMMY McGHEE. HI!

NOW IT'S N.I.C.U. CHAPTER. [ LAUGHS ] Rozonno: ONCE MIA HAD THESE BABIES, I WAS JUST LIKE, YOU KNOW, SO NERVOUS. Mia: ISAAC LARRY -- HE HAS A LITTLE BIT OF JAUNDICE RIGHT NOW. IT WAS JUST SCARY ALL THE WAY AROUND, IF YOU THINK ABOUT, "HOW ARE WE GONNA TAKE CARE OF THESE BABIES?" WHAT DO YOU DO? Reporter: THE McGHEE FAMILY ARE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. IT WAS LIKE, "MIA, CLOSE THE BLINDS, LOCK THE DOORS." HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH. Rozonno: ARE YOU WITH ME? ARE YOU LISTENING TO US? BECAUSE OUR KIDS WERE THREE MONTHS PREMATURE, THEY HAD TO STAY IN THE N.I.C.U. ABOUT EIGHT WEEKS. Reporter: THE McGHEE FAMILY ARRIVED FOR THEIR BIG SEND-OFF PARTY, AND THEY ARE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. WHEN WE FIRST HAD THE BABIES, WE WERE LIKE, "OH, MY GOD." AT THAT TIME, WE ONLY LIVED IN A TWO-BEDROOM HOUSE. Reporter: SIX BEAUTIFUL BABIES -- FOUR BOYS, TWO GIRLS. I WAS JUST LIKE, YOU KNOW, SO NERVOUS, SO SCARED. IT WAS VERY OVERWHELMING. Rozonno: OUR KIDS ARE A MIRACLE. WE KNEW WE HAD TO MAKE IT WORK SOMEHOW. IT'S TRULY A BLESSING. THEY'RE ALL TOGETHER. WE'RE A FAMILY. WHEN THE KIDS WERE, LIKE, FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS, MIA AND I DECIDED TO TAKE A FAMILY PICTURE. Mia: WE TOOK THE PHOTO. [ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ] NEXT THING YOU KNOW -- BOOM -- IT WENT VIRAL. Rozonno: I THANK GOD FOR THE INTERNET. I DO, TOO. OPRAH END UP SEEING IT. LET'S MEET THE McGHEES! WELCOME, ROZONNO AND THE BABIES. OHH! I BET YOU'RE MAKING A LOT OF TRIPS TO THE STORE EACH WEEK. YES, BUT I'M ALWAYS RUNNING OUT OF SOMETHING. REALLY? WELL, THERE ARE SOME VERY CARING NEIGHBORS IN YOUR COMMUNITY. Rozonno: YES. YES. Rozonno: THE CITY CAME TOGETHER. THEY THREW THIS DIAPER DRIVE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. I MEAN, THERE WAS, LIKE, LINES OF CARS DROPPING OFF DIAPERS, DROPPING OFF CLOTHES. I WOULD HAVE NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS THOUGHT THAT SO MANY PEOPLE WOULD BE HELPING US. THERE ARE FOUR PEOPLE WHO ARE VITAL TO HELPING US WITH OUR KIDS. Rozonno: THERE'S AMY. MY NAME IS AMY, AND I HELP MIA AND RO WITH THE BABIES. WHEN I SAW ON THE NEWS THAT MIA DELIVERED THE SEXTUPLETS, I WAS INTERESTED IN SEEING IF THEY NEEDED HELP. WE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE CAUGHT ME AND WANTED TO, KIND OF, VOLUNTEER. AND SOME OF THE HELPERS -- WHEN THEY SHOWED UP, IT WAS LIKE, "MIA, CLOSE THE BLINDS, LOCK THE DOORS." HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH. BUT AMY -- SHE REALLY HAD THIS "I'M HERE FOR YOU. WHAT CAN I DO?" ATTITUDE. SHE STEPPED INTO OUR WORLD BECAUSE OF THE SIX BABIES. BOOGIE -- SHE USED TO VOLUNTEER WHEN WE WERE IN CHURCH. SHE SAID, "YOU KNOW, I'LL COME OVER ANY TIME TO HELP YOU. YOU KNOW, CALL ME. I'M THERE." I'M LIKE, "OKAY, ONE DAY, WE'RE GONNA PUT HER UP TO THE TEST." YES, AND NOW BOOGIE'S AT OUR HOUSE MORE THAN WE WISHED. SHE JUST STAYS WEEKS ON END. SHE'S ON THE PHONE CONSTANTLY. LOOK AT -- SURFING FACEBOOK.

THE COLDS THEY'VE BEEN HAVING AND THE RUNNY NOSES -- I KNOW THAT'S BEEN A CONCERN. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE SO FAR AT HOME TO HELP DECREASE THE SPREAD OF GERMS BETWEEN THE SIX OF THEM? NOTHING. WE HAVEN'T DONE A THING. [ LAUGHS ] SO, NO, REALLY, THOUGH, IS THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT CONCERNED THAT THEY'RE THAT SICK? I DON'T KNOW. TO BE HONEST, I WOULD MUCH RATHER THE KIDS GET SICK ALL AT ONCE. [ LAUGHS ] I WORRY THAT WHEREAS FIVE WOULD GET THE COLD AT ONE TIME, THE SIXTH ONE, WHO STARTS OFF WITH THAT SAME COLD, MAY POTENTIALLY GO INTO PNEUMONIA AND HAVE A DEEP-SEATED BACTERIAL LUNG INFECTION THAT REQUIRES I.V. ANTIBIOTICS AND A HOSPITAL STAY. YOU REMEMBER THAT FEEDING TABLE YOU HAD SHOWN ME A PICTURE OF? ARE THEY STILL AT THAT SAME FEEDING TABLE FOR THEIR MEALS? OKAY. THEY'RE TOO BIG FOR THAT NOW. I THINK THAT TABLE IS ACTUALLY MAKING YOUR KIDS SICK. DECREASE THE SPREAD OF GERMS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. WE GOT TO GET RID OF THAT FEEDING TABLE. WE WANT IT OUT. AND THEY NEED THEIR OWN SIPPY CUPS, THEIR OWN BOWLS, PLATES -- ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. Mia: IT'S GONNA BE DIFFICULT TO DO THAT. BUT I AM ONE TO TRY. I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS ARE TOUGH.

TANIA IS MY BROTHER'S EX-GIRLFRIEND. SHE IS THE MOTHER OF MY TWO NIECES, CIAN AND CIERRA. CIERRA'S GRADUATING. SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR THE GRADUATION PARTY? NOTHING? WE'LL SEE HOW SHE ACTS. SHE GOT TO DO -- YOU GONNA SEE HOW SHE ACTS? TO THIS DAY, EDUCATION IS SO IMPORTANT FOR ME PARTLY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, MY BACKGROUND -- BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET TO GRADUATE. NOW, LET ME TELL Y'ALL SOMETHING. THIS IS HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT. IT'S ABOUT A CELEBRATION FOR A FAMILY. I MEAN, SERIOUSLY, 'CAUSE, YOU KNOW, IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY, PEOPLE AIN'T GRADUATING. IT DON'T HAVE TO BE, LIKE, A PARK. IT DON'T HAVE TO BE ALL THAT. IT CAN BE AT YOUR HOUSE. JUST A LITTLE -- JUST A CELEBRATION WITH CAKE, PUNCH. YOU ARE SO NOSY. WE GONNA CELEBRATE. I'M NOT GONNA SEE HIM BE NEGATIVE -- THAT OLD, NASTY ATTITUDE. CIERRA IS GONNA GET A GRADUATION PARTY, TANIA. THAT'S JUST THE BOTTOM LINE.

PEEING IN THE WATER! Rozonno: THESE KIDS IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. RO, PLEASE! ME AND MY MOTHER-IN-LAW -- WE DON'T ALWAYS GET ALONG. IT'S DIFFICULT SOMETIMES. ARE YOU HAVING AMNESIA OR SOMETHING? THIS IS NOT HELPING! HELP ME. HELP ME, DEAR LORD. I GOT TO SAY! Rozonno: THESE KIDS IS -- WHOO. Mia: THEY SOMETHING ELSE. WE NEED TO CHILDPROOF THE ENTIRE HOUSE. Rozonno: I DON'T BELIEVE THIS. SO MUCH FOR CHILDPROOFING. [ LAUGHS ] Mia: I THINK THEY WILL TEAR UP THE CHURCH. Rozonno: THEY NEED THE HANDS OF GOD ON THEM RIGHT NOW. Mia: OH, YEAH. PUT SOME SPIRIT INTO IT, BROTHER. THAT'S TOO MUCH SOUL. IF OUR COMPANY FAILS, WE ARE IN TROUBLE. WE GOT TO STOP THIS CARELESSNESS. DON'T EMBARRASS ME IN FRONT OF MY EMPLOYEES. THERE'S LIKE $500 THEY GOT TO GO MAKE, AND I'M NOT MESSING WITH THAT! Rozonno: GOING TO WORK TOGETHER AND LIVING TOGETHER IS NOT EASY AT ALL. YOU DON'T LIKE IT? I LOVE IT. THIS IS NEW FOR US. WE GOT TO TAKE IT DAY BY DAY. IT'S A BIG CHALLENGE. Mia: BUT YOU JUST HAVE TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND THAT THIS IS MY LIFE AND I'M JUST GONNA LIVE IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO. I DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE GONNA DO IT, BUT WE HAVE TO GET IT TOGETHER.
