Fran had cheated on her husband and was unsure the baby was his. Turns out she was, they both had a rare blood type. They ended up staying together.
Years ago Ang found out that her husband was cheating on her. She lied and told him that she was pregnant to get him to stay with her. And then she hurried up and got pregnant for real. Her husband was a serial cheater and she just discovered that he had a three-year-old little girl from yet another affair. She left him.
Essie had a bout of postpartum depression with her first child and actually left the newborn unattended at a park. With this baby, her husband and mother are vigilant to the signs that she might be slipping down that path again.
The reason Isabelle was in the neighborhood was that she suspected that Essie was her long-lost sister, stolen from the hospital shortly after birth. And she was. Barbara had kidnapped Essie after losing her own baby at birth. After being exposed Barbara had a mental break, kidnapped Mia, and then spent a lot of time in a hospital, but when released she was still considered "Gran" by Essie's kids. She was the only mother Essie knew and the only Gran that Essie's kids will ever know.
