I'm confused...I'm not sure what the problem is.... ?

I think that most people provide a safe place for the little ones to hide. Anything that will give cover is god like plants, fake plants, things that look like grass...

As long as you do not have larger fish in the tank with them, you should be ok I think.

That is quite common for guppies, many come pregnant from the lfs. What size tank do you have? Guppy fry should be ok with the parents if there are nothing but guppies in the tank. Crush up fish flakes really really fine and feed it to the guppies. Be careful to not overfeed.

ok they have ample coverage they seem to be doing fine...but the mother seems to have another one half in and half out of her is this common or something wrong

If it is still born and she is binding then theres not much you can do to help I'm afraid. She may pass it through on her own but its about a 50/50 chance. I'm sorry to say those aren't good odds. Best thing to do is hope for the best, and if not... you have lots of babies to succeed her.
