Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson was devastated to learn of her sister Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Shannon’s pregnancy from her step mother, Jennifer Thompson.

After Sugar Bear’s wife announced the 21-year-old reality was expecting her second child with husband Joshua Efird, her younger sibling looked crushed as she retreated to her room to process the news.

‘Alana, it wasn’t even like that,’ Pumpkin pleaded with Alana to understand. ‘I didn’t mean to not tell you, you know what I’m saying?’

To which, Alana shot back: ‘How do you not mean to not tell me? That’s just not something you forget, Pumpkin.’

Meanwhile, their mom, Mama June, who also found out of her daughter’s pregnancy from Jennifer, was yelling in another room before joining her kids’ for a much-needed chat. 

‘Okay, Mama, well we’re going to need you to take a seat because how we handle things here is, we talk things out,’ Pumpkin began as her husband, who was outside, feared he may have just lost his job with Sugar Bear after the family drama.

Pumpkin revealed she didn’t tell Alana first because the teen had a lot ‘going on lately.’  

‘When you come back from Florida, you said you felt like a burden, and then you were in there cutting coupons a few days ago,’ she said. 

Alana replied: ‘You and Josh are barely making ends meet right now. I mean, how are y’all gonna take care of all of us?’

The next morning Efird confided in his wife Pumpkin about her father possibly firing him from his grass-cutting business.  

Once he arrives, Sugar Bear asks: ‘How do you expect me to give you a job back after yesterday?’

‘I had no idea that June and Geno were even coming. I was kind of p**sed that they showed up, you know, out of nowhere. I tried to call you at least 20 times to let you know that they were there, that way you could have turned around,’ Efird reasoned. 

‘Well, Jennifer ain’t gonna be too happy with me if I keep you,’ the father-of-one replied. 

At Pumpkin’s gender reveal party, the family is thrilled she’s having a son, after they cut into their slices of cake, which is blue inside.
