Total Bellas Island - Total Bellas recap for January 21, 2021

Two weeks after the birth of Buddy and Matteo, Nikki is changing Matteo's diaper. Nikki admits it is incredible yet scary to be a new mother that she feels like she has to hold Matteo all the day. Artem just wants to be sure that Matteo is okay. One week later, Artem returns to Dancing With The Stars. Nikki is happy for Artem to be back on the job, and Artem hopes that his return to the show does not interfere with his and Nikki's lives.

At Nikki's house, Nikki is alone with Matteo, who is colicky and unable to sleep for long periods. Nikki realizes that she is unprepared despite how much Brie helped her get prepared, and that she is living for Matteo with little time for herself.

Brie and Nikki have a photo shoot for their new children. They entertain the idea of them being future tag team champions, then Nikki gets a call from her realtor stating that a potential seller pulled out and is no longer selling their house, which is very close to where Brie wants to live.

At Nikki's house, Nikki does a live Instagram workout with Matteo present when Brie shows up. Brie says she has closed escrow in Napa Valley, and she is leaving within a month. Nikki feels more alone than ever.

At Nikki's house, Nikki and Kathy get a Dancing With The Stars watch party ready. Nikki says it is nice to have people around. Brie and Bryan show up, and Nikki appreciates their company. Nikki is glad to see Artem back on the job, and realizes that Artem is happiest when he is doing his job. Nikki says that this is the Artem she wishes he could have, as nothing she could to make him happy while he was off the show did not work. Brie is concerned for Nikki, who she feels is about to collapse.

At Nikki's house, Nikki gets a few pointers from Bryan, who feels that Nikki is stressed out without Artem and is willing to do what he can to help. Nikki gets a call from Brie, who feels that Nikki will definitely need the help from Bryan more than her, especially when Nikki is about to collapse from taking care of Matteo.

JJ and Brie go looking at scooters. Brie tells JJ has yet to tell Kathy that she and Bryan are moving to Napa Valley. JJ tells Brie that she should let Kathy know, and Brie says she will do that on the condition that JJ and Nikki make up and start talking about before Nikki leaves.

Brie, Nikki and Bryan take a walk to the park. Nikki shows up, saying Matteo is being watched by someone else. Nikki mentions she has put in an offer for another house near where Brie and Bryan are living in Napa Valley, and mentions that she has yet to tell Artem. Brie, Bryan and Birdie have fun on the slide.

At Kathy's birthday party, Nikki is nervous to see JJ after months of fighting between the two. JJ and Nikki make up and create boundaries regarding things they are passionate about, including politics. Nikki says she could not picture leaving Phoenix without making up with JJ, as she misses their relationship.

At Nikki's house, Nikki gets a call from Artem. Nikki tells Artem that she has put up an offer for another home in Napa Valley, much to the surprise of Artem, who did not expect her to do this and feels that they should have talked more about getting a house. Nikki is shocked by Artem's reaction.

At Brie and Bryan's house, Brie and Bryan pack for the mov to Napa Valley. Bryan hopes that this the last time that they move house.

At Nikki's house, Brie and Nikki tell Kathy that they are both moving to Napa Valley to be closer to their business. Nikki feels bad to have to tell Kathy the news. Kathy takes the news better than expected, as she knows that they have always wanted to live in Napa Valley, but she is sad that they won't be close to her anymore.

At Nikki's house, JJ shows up to visit and for his help. Nikki tells JJ she is moving to Napa Valley

At Brie and Bryan's house, Nikki gets a call from Artem. Nikki tells Artem that she has closed on the house. Artem wishes he had more input and the ability to talk more about moving house, and tells Nikki he does not want to miss time with Mikki and Matteo. He also tells Nikki that he does not know what his future holds after Dancing With The Stars, as he may have to do a tour after the show. Nikki feels Artem does not understand what she is going through. Nikki tells Brie that she has gone through a lot, and nearly breaks down as she tells her that she has been trying so hard to keep everything together. She mentions that according to her doctor, she may have postpartum depression, and wishes that Artem was with her and asking her how she is doing. She also admits she pushed Artem to go for his dreams and does not want to deter him from that. Bryan says Nikki and Artem need to figure out what they need from each other. Brie tells Nikki they will help her get through everything.
