During Season 1 of The Kardashians which was filmed in the fall of last year Khloé and Tristan even discussed marriage as he appeared to embrace life as a family man

So Khloé was understandably heartbroken after she found out about his secret baby with Maralee with the rest of the world when the news broke online

Hulu

Legal documents that had been filed by Tristan had leaked and despite being caught up in a court case he appeared to have every intention of hiding both Maralee and his legal woes from Khloé

In the filing Tristan conceded that he d had sex with Maralee multiple times while with Khloé and their baby was thought to have been conceived on March 13 when Tristan left a lavish birthday party that Khloé had thrown for him to receive a birthday surprise from Maralee in Texas

Maralee also claimed that Tristan offered her $75 000 to have an abortion and that he d vowed to have zero involvement in their son s life Tristan denied these allegations

Khloé ended her relationship with Tristan as soon as the news broke but in July it was revealed that she was expecting her second child with him via surrogate

This obviously left her fans with a plethora of questions and the star has dutifully revealed all in the Season 2 premiere of The Kardashians

Hulu

The special episode aired on Thursday and was dedicated to explaining the details of Tristan s paternity scandal and Khloé s surrogacy journey Be warned It s even worse than you might think

Hulu

In a confessional Khloé revealed that she and Tristan were in a great place before she decided to go ahead with having another baby with him

Hulu

It was just a great thing I thought to expand our family she explained Thinking it was like this real healthy loving protective type of family

Hulu

Old footage of the former couple playing with their daughter then aired alongside a clip of Tristan saying We both grow together it just makes our family and our bond better And I hope to be able to expand our family one day God willing

Instagram

We did have a couple of bumps in the road but me and Tristan I thought were really good Khloé admitted elsewhere in the episode

But Khloé also suggested that Tristan was pressuring her into committing to their second baby with an apparent deadline in mind and she now believes that this is because he wanted the surrogate to be pregnant before his secret son was born

All I know is I was being encouraged to do it by a certain date she explained In hindsight he always knew when the other baby was being born — especially getting the paperwork that we saw he found out July 2 so he did know

Hulu

Khloé and Tristan s embryo was transferred to the surrogate days before Thanksgiving which was on Nov 25 Tristan s paternity scandal was exposed on Dec 3

We did an embryo transfer days before Thanksgiving Khloé explained I found out about Tristan s situation the first week of December and it s just so close I wouldn t want anyone to think I did this after the fact

Hulu

Why would I have a baby with someone that s having a baby with someone else she went on to ask I m not that much of a sociopath I m a lunatic but not like that deranged

Hulu

And the timing is understandably something that is particularly troubling to Khloé s family with her sister Kendall Jenner admitting that she thinks that Tristan wanted to trap her

Hulu

In a family meeting Kylie Jenner said I just don t like the fact that Tristan knew that this was happening to which Kendall replied That s what s wild Like you were encouraging Khloé to go forward with this while you knew that this was also happening It s almost like he wanted to trap her

Hulu

Their mom Kris Jenner agreed Well he wanted to hang onto her for sure and thought that maybe if they did that she would marry him

Hulu

In a confessional Kylie said that Tristan being aware of Maralee s pregnancy while simultaneously pushing Khloé into surrogacy is what was really unforgivable to her

Hulu

I m just really disappointed in Tristan she said I think it s really fucked up that he knew that he had another baby on the way with somebody else which makes me uncomfortable To put someone in that position especially when there s a child involved this was really unforgivable in my books

Hulu

Because of how close the embryo transfer was to the scandal being revealed Khloé s own family were still unaware that they d even gone forward with surrogacy — and Khloé said that she was left feeling very angry and bamboozled when the Maralee news broke

Hulu

The exact moment that she and her family found out was actually caught on camera and was the focal point of The Kardashians Season 1 finale The show s camera crew just happened to arrive at Kim s house to film something else that fateful morning and Kim could be seen painstakingly trying to get a hold of Khloé while speaking to other family members on the phone

Hulu

Completely in the dark about the embryo transfer when Kim finally did speak to Khloé she told her that Tristan s scandal was the biggest sign that she shouldn t go ahead with her surrogacy plans

Hulu

If this isn t the most clear situation I don t know what is she said as Khloé sobbed inconsolably on the other end of the phone

Hulu

And Thursday s episode of The Kardashians aired footage that had been edited out of the original scene revealing the moment that Khloé told Kim that their surrogate was probably already pregnant

Hulu

There was a minute from what I could see from watching the finale I think Kim says If this is not a sign that you shouldn t have another baby with him I don t know what is Khloé explained But what you didn t see was I think I either said I need to tell you something or Take me off speaker

Hulu

In the previously cut clip Kim can be seen warning Khloé that she is filming before taking her off speakerphone after she insisted I need to talk to you

Hulu

Khloé recalled telling Kim We did an embryo transfer a couple of days ago and Kim can be seen putting her hand over her mouth and saying oh my god in total shock as she reacted in real time

Hulu

Khloé later described Tristan s paternity scandal as a dark cloud around something that is supposed to be so joyous and admitted to burying her head in the sand as she tried to avoid the problem

Hulu

The star admitted to being scared of making the news public because she feared the backlash that she would receive for having another baby with Tristan considering his long history of infidelity

Michael Loccisano / Getty Images,

I wanted to keep this private for my loved ones as long as possible and not have this be some media frenzy that people get to just play with and run with Khloé said visibly emotional I can t hear about this for months about what an idiot I am what a dumb bitch I am all these things from everybody else

Hulu

She also acknowledged that the birth of her first child had also been tainted by Tristan who was exposed for cheating on her several times just two days before Khloé went into labor

E!

When I had True I found out 48 hours before she was born that Tristan was cheating on me then I went into labor weeks early because I was so stressed out she said

E!

Despite all of the surrounding drama Khloé told her best friend Malika Haqq that Tristan was excited for their son s arrival but she was keen to keep a distance He keeps asking me questions and I just won t answer him she said

Hulu

Tristan was not present at the hospital when their surrogate gave birth on July 28 but Khloé agreed for him to visit her and their son after initially having doubts

Hulu

I ve been on the fence about having Tristan come to the hospital or not she explained But Tristan wants to be here so I just figured why not let him come I ll never get this moment back

Hulu

Khloé has not yet revealed what she has called her son but did confirm that she plans for him to have a name that starts with T

Hulu

Meanwhile Maralee gave birth to Tristan s son Theo in December but claimed earlier this year that he still hasn t met him
