She delivered her grand- baby in a parking lot!

On the same morning that Danielle West lost her mother to leukemia, her daughter went into labor. The baby came too quickly to make it to the hospital, so Danielle pulled over and helped deliver him herself!

"We have quite the story to tell Noah about his birthday," says Alysa (right) with her mom, Danielle

The past several months, doctors had told Danielle West nearly a dozen times that her mom was dying, but every time she rallied back. But this morning was different— just before dawn, leukemia had taken her 73-year-old mom.

“Now, she can finally rest,” Danielle shared her grief with her daughter, Alysa, as they sat at the kitchen table. “The funeral home is going to want a picture,” she said, and the Cherry Hill, New Jersey, realtor scanned her laptop to find one.

But when Danielle glanced up, there was a strange look on her daughter’s face. “Mom...I think we need to go to the hospital, now,” she groaned.

Alysa was pregnant. She wasn’t due for another two weeks, but the baby was ready.

“Let’s go!” Danielle helped Alysa into the car.
