Pennsylvania insurance agent Justin Young says his job teaches him to expect the unexpected but he says he never expected to deliver his own child.

Justin and Megan Young were in their car in Mars, Pa., preparing to head to the hospital for the birth of their second child when Megan unexpectedly told him not to start the vehicle because the baby was coming, and quickly, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.
"We had bags packed. We had our doctors. We had a plan in place," said Young.
But the plan was to no avail.
"People can have all the birth plans they want in the world, but you can't plan Mother Nature," Young said. "And I know that pretty well being an insurance agent. You can't plan on what is going to happen."
As it turned out, Young, with the help of a 911 supervisor, delivered his daughter, Avery, on the front seat of the family SUV while it was still parked in the garage.
"He seemed a little nervous, probably not as nervous as I was if I was in his shoes though," said Terry Sweeny, a supervisor for the Butler County Department of Emergency Services.
