This may just be the most incredible birth story of the year. A California teenager named Xochitl Parra concealed her pregnancy from everyone for nine months, gave birth alone in her parents' bathroom, then took the baby (still attached by the umbilical cord!) and jogged over to the hospital to get post-natal care.

According to the Press-Telegram, the director of the hospital's NICU said: "This is a heartwarming story, especially when a teenager does the right thing. We hear so much negative with teenagers throwing their babies in the dumpsters. This baby is fine and hopefully there will be a happy ending with the extended family."

The article claims that the story does indeed have a happy ending: mother and baby are fine, and the girl's parents didn't kick them out of the house. In fact, grandma's going to help take care of the baby so Xochitl can finish high school.
