Episode 1: Mom too soon
Clem is a regular 16-year-old, with parents, friends, a boyfriend… Until she realizes she is pregnant and it’s too late for an abortion.
She tells her parents, but even cool and loving Jean-Paul and Caro have trouble dealing with this crisis. In addition to the toll it takes on their family, Jean-Paul being a teacher at Clem’s high school is not spared any of the judgments and attitudes from students and fellow teachers. And what will happen to Caro’s decision to go back to work after 9 years of homemaking?
As for Clem, she may be faced with a new and sometimes challenging life, but she’s still a teenager!
Episode 2: Welcome, Baby!
Clem is happy to announce the birth of Valentin. The baby and mother are in good health, the father is delighted and the grandparents are gaga over the little bundle. The other bit of good news is that life is now going to resume its normal course! Or at least that’s what Clem seems to think with the wisdom of her sixteen years. Her mother Caro, though, knows that serious business awaits them: sleepless nights, homework, friends, finding a nanny, Julien... and to top it all off, Caro and her husband Jean-Paul may share crib duty but they still haven’t made up!
Episode 3: Hooray for Summer!
Clem is green with envy watching all her friends take off on a camping trip and having to stay home with baby. But Julien has also stayed behind to take care of his son, so if Clem wants to win him back it’s now or never! As for Clem’s parents, still separated, there won’t be any vacation either. What’s more, Jean-Paul springs the news on Caro that he has found his own apartment. A risky move. Could it be the final straw that breaks their marriage? Looks like a hot summer for the Boissier family!
Episode 4: Back to school!
For Clem, this fall is no spring picnic. It’s Get that high school diploma time! With an emphasis in “Oops! I’m a Mom!” And as if juggling baby bottles with cramming for tests isn’t enough to handle, in walks the most incredibly attractive guy Clem has ever seen: Mathieu, 20 years old, dark and handsome, with a shady past. Jean-Paul and Caro watch their daughter like a hawk – one grandson is enough, thank you. It’s the No Vacancy sign in this family for the next ten years!
