"I was like oh my gosh my water just broke and then something like exploded in my pants... a second later she was in my pants... I didn't even have time to have an emotion it was just total shock."
While trying to speed up the drive to the hospital Loston frantically flagged down a police car so it could put its lights on and fast-track them through the traffic.
While they were making their way to the hospital, Deshai said she made sure that her baby was warm and breathing okay.
She reportedly explained:
"She didn't cry so we were concerned until I felt her move. My husband was yelling and asking if she was okay and asking what he should do.
I told him to keep driving and get us to the hospital! I was panicking at first but I just wanted to reassure my husband that she was okay and to just keep driving so we could to the hospital as soon as possible."
When they got to the hospital, the new parents were received like heroes by the medical staff.
