A woman on her way to hospital gave birth in a McDonald's toilet earning her baby the cute nickname - 'Little Nugget'.
Alandria Worthy was being driven by her fiancé to hospital as her labour started intensifying when they stopped at a branch of the fast-food restaurant to use the bathroom.
She told WXIA-TV: “Oh, my God, it’s still crazy that it happened. I went into the bathroom and my water broke immediately."
Alandria's screaming attracted the attention of the branch's manager Tunisia Woodward.
She said: “I open this door, didn’t see anyone, but I saw feet (under the door).
“I opened, and she was on this toilet lying back, screaming. Then I knew to tell my crew, ‘We’re having a baby today.'”
Tunisia roped in two colleagues to help and by then fiancé Deandre Phillips, Alandria fiance, had come in to check what was taking so long, only to find his wife-to-be giving birth.
He said: “I was trying to calm her down because she was frantic.
“I was like, ‘Just breathe.’ I got her on the floor, and I took off my clothes.
"The ladies at McDonald’s were at her front side, holding her hands, I had her feet propped up on my knees. We told her to push three pushes. She was a fighter.”
Labour was short and in less than 15 minutes later, Nandi Ariyah Moremi Phillips was born.
The proud father said his daughter 'popped onto his hand'.
The parents said that “divine intervention” brought them to McDonald’s where Tunisia, Sha’querria Kaigler and Keisha Blue-Murray, could help.
Tunisia said: “We all are mothers and so we put our heads together and all we needed daddy to do was catch the baby. And he did."
Despite the baby's official name, the McDonald’s crew gave her their own nickname in tribute to the unorthodox place of birth - Little Nugget.
Phillips agreed: “She’s definitely a nugget.
“My parents loved the name, too. We were like, okay, it fits her. My little nugget.”
Steve Akinboro, who owns the franchise, awarded the employees $250 gift cards. Woodward said she’ll spend all the money on Nandi.
