Kourtney, Kim and Khloé speak only to LIFE & STYLE about what caused the family's big fight with Scott, the father of Kourtney's baby--and how they all finally came together.
Standing in her mother's backyard, surrounded by a sea of blue balloons, blue cake and blue cotton candy, Kourtney Kardashian, looking stunning in a Diane von Furstenberg dress and Movado jewels, greeted guests as they arrived at her glamorous baby shower in LA on Nov. 14. Kourtney spent the afternoon enjoying bite-size burgers and mini pizzas from LA restaurant Chinois and dessert, flown in for the event from New York City's BCake NY with 84 of her closest female family and friends. And making a surprise appearance was Scott Disick, Kourtney's boyfriend and the father of the baby, who was greeted like family by the entire Kardashian clan!
But as anyone who follows E!'s Keeping Up With the Kardashians knows, Scott's relationship with Kourtney's family hasn't always been so chummy. "We're obsessed with one another," Kourtney tells Life & Style. "If someone does something wrong to one of us, we're all down their throats."
"When Scott came back into our lives, it was like Kourtney was asking us to forgive and forget everything she'd said about him," Kim explains. "We were really confused. We had to readjust our feelings about him, and sometimes we had a tough time with it." Scott's hard-partying behavior did little to ease their concerns. "I think he was just trying to have as much fun as possible before the baby came," Kim tells Life & Style. "All he wanted to do was hang out with his friends. He needed to realize that Kourtney and the baby had to come first."
"It was hard," Kourtney admits. "There was so much negative energy. But this is the father of my baby -- I needed everyone to just get over it." In the end, Kourtney's pleas for peace didn't win over her family -- Scott did. "He just started trying so much harder," Khloé tells Life & Style. Case in point: "He put the crib together -- no one asked him to," Khloé says. "He's not a manual labor kind of guy, but for him to put the crib and changing table together meant so much to Kourtney." The transformation isn't lost on Kourtney. The tension "was really intense for a few months," she says. "But I feel like if that stuff hadn't happened, things wouldn't feel as good as they do today."
