It was a typical day for a woman who was out grocery shopping when she became ill. She then went to a nearby superstore’s restroom, utterly unaware that she was about to have a day that neither she nor anyone else in the store would ever forget! Surprises come in all shapes and sizes, but no matter what they are, they can light up our world like nothing else. While it’s good to plan and be prepared for what’s ahead, life has a way of surprising us and throwing curveballs our way.

Even so, some of our happiest and most meaningful moments occur when we least expect them, changing everything in ways we never imagined possible. The story we’re going to tell you today is based on a similar scenario. Ashleigh Miller-Cross was out and about in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, in the spring of 2017, doing something she was all too familiar with: grocery shopping. She was a mother to a little girl named Mia, who was her entire world.

Malcolm said he dashed to a nearby clinic to find a doctor after ensuring the baby was delivered safely. Her ten-month-old daughter was sure to follow her proud mother wherever she went. Mia enjoyed accompanying her mother, and the two formed an endearing bond. Ashleigh was no stranger to maternal feelings and enjoyed spoiling her baby girl.

What had been a routine day for Ashleigh took an unexpected turn when she became ill. She dashed to the Atlantic Supermarket in Bayers Lake’s restrooms without delay. She was, however, blissfully unaware that she would be returning home with a baby. But how did this occur?According to sources, Ashleigh experienced pain after entering the grocery store and went straight to the restroom to assess her situation.

Meanwhile, Malcolm Comeau, assistant store manager, was leaving his office after lunch when something caught his eye. On his way back to work, he heard someone yelling nearby. Malcolm started walking right away, trying to find the source of the screams, when he came to a halt outside the store’s restrooms. Malcolm initially waited outside, but when the screams didn’t stop, he opened the door and saw what was going on inside.

When the store manager saw Ashleigh writhing in agony, his first instinct was to assist her right away. Ashleigh was in excruciating pain, had severe cramps, and appeared fearful and confused. Malcolm claimed that he struck the door open while the baby was halfway out. “[Ashleigh] just screamed at me, ‘I’m having a baby!’ and I automatically grabbed my phone and dialed 911,” Malcolm recalled.

Malcolm explained that it was the first time he and his store employees had assisted someone in giving birth. He explained how helping Ashleigh came naturally to him because when he saw her condition, all he could think about was gathering as much support as possible.

As a result, the baby was delivered with the assistance of Malcolm and another staff member, who stepped up immediately after seeing Ashleigh in distress. Malcolm said he dashed to a nearby clinic to find a doctor after ensuring the baby was delivered safely. Following that, an ambulance transported Ashleigh and her infant to the hospital, where their vitals were checked and closely monitored. After receiving the all-clear signal, they returned home, and Ashleigh embraced motherhood for the second time.

She and her husband, Kyle Cross, had a son, Ezra, who weighed nearly 8 pounds at birth. Little Ezra’s arrival was not only dramatic and astounding, but it also left his parents, store employees, and bystanders speechless. Ashleigh’s incredible story had another twist in addition to welcoming motherhood in a superstore’s toilet. She had no idea she was pregnant and claimed that her previous pregnancy with Mia, who was only ten months old, had led her to believe she wasn’t.

“I assumed I hadn’t lost any weight because Mia was only 10 months old… I didn’t have any extra plants. I was exactly the same size. “I didn’t have any cravings,” the Nova Scotia resident explained.The Halifax grocery store later gave the Cross family a year’s supply of diapers for their new addition. Ashleigh, Kyle, Mia, and Ezra were all smiles as they reflected on their unusual experience when they visited the store in Bayers Lake to accept their gift. Ashleigh and Kyle both expressed gratitude for everyone’s support and expressed gratitude for their family of four.
