Summer traffic on Cape Cod can require some patience, but Rebecca and Danya Mahota had no time to spare.
Summer traffic on Cape Cod can require some patience, but Rebecca and Danya Mahota had no time to spare.
"We got in the car, the GPS said 56 minutes … and that was the problem. That was the problem,” Rebecca Mahota said.
At 40 weeks pregnant, her contractions came on strong and fast, and on their ride from Brewster to the hospital in Plymouth, her water broke.
“One contraction later, he had pulled over to the side of the road, I was already holding her head,” Rebecca said.
"Boy, we made it 26 minutes into that 56-minute trip. My wife is an absolute legend,” Danya Mahota said.
With baby Summer, as they named her, wrapped in a blanket knit by Rebecca’s mother, they headed out to meet up with an ambulance.
At the hospital, Danya noticed his wedding ring was missing. He checked the house, the car, nothing. Days later with the help of a couple of friends he went back to the spot on the side of the highway where he lost the ring.
