Amy and Baby
It took almost nine months but the wait is finally over! At last, fans will witness the highly anticipated birth of Amy’s baby on the first season finale of The Secret Life of the American Teenager, airing tonight at 8pm on ABC Family.
Last time we saw The Secret Life of the American Teenager, viewers were treated with a pivotal flashback episode that shed light on how Amy (Shailene Woodley) and Ricky (Daren Kagasoff) first met that night at band camp. In a series of flashbacks that took place as Amy lay in her hospital bed waiting to give birth to their son, she reflected on the events that led her to this unexpected point in her life.
In the season finale entitled “And Unto Us, A Child is Born,” friends and family gather at the hospital to give their support to the Juergens family, who eagerly awaits the arrival of Amy’s baby. At the same time, Ben (Kenny Baumann) and Ricky agree to forge a friendship as they discuss their future relationship, with Ricky as the father and Ben as the future stepfather to the baby. As Adrian (Francia Raisa) arrives at the hospital to support Ricky, Grace (Megan Park) tells Ricky that she’s getting back together with Jack.
Several hours later, Amy’s baby is finally born, and a deliriously tired Amy and her sister Ashley (India Eisley) decide to name him together. Upon returning home, however, Amy struggles with adjusting to being a new mom. Later, Ricky visits his newborn son and realizes he might like fatherhood while Ashley and George (Mark Derwin) surprise Anne (Molly Ringwald) by moving out of the family home.
Although tonight’s installment marks the conclusion of the 23-episode first season, fans can look forward to the sophomore season of The Secret Life of the American Teenager, which consists of 24 episodes that will tentatively return in the summer.
