In a story that underscores the unpredictability of life and the miracle of birth, a Massachusetts couple, Rebecca and Danya Mahota, experienced not one but two extraordinary events on the side of a highway in Brewster, Massachusetts.
It all began on August 8, when Rebecca and Danya were en route to the hospital, eagerly awaiting the arrival of their baby.
What they expected to be a standard drive quickly turned into an unforgettable adventure.
Halfway through their journey, Rebecca’s water broke, signaling that their baby was not going to wait for the comfort and safety of a hospital room.
“We got in the car, the GPS said 56 minutes … and that was the problem. That was the problem,” Rebecca recalled in an interview with WCVB.
The urgency in her voice was a reflection of the high-speed transformation of their ordinary drive into a race against time.
With little choice but to act swiftly, Danya pulled the car over to the side of the road.

Moments later, Rebecca was cradling their newborn daughter, Summer, in her arms. “He had pulled over to the side of the road, I was already holding her head,” Rebecca recounted, highlighting the intensity and immediacy of the situation.

The couple’s quick thinking and calm under pressure were nothing short of heroic.
As Danya put it, “Boy, we made it 26 minutes into that 56-minute trip. My wife is an absolute legend.” His words capture both the chaos of the moment and the awe he felt watching his wife deliver their daughter under such unconventional circumstances.
First responders arrived shortly after the birth and transported the new family to the hospital, ensuring that both mother and baby received the medical attention they needed. But the surprises of the day were not over yet.
Amidst the joy and relief of Summer’s safe arrival, Danya realized his wedding ring was missing—a cherished symbol of his commitment that had somehow disappeared in the frenzy of the roadside delivery.
Despite thorough searches at home and in the car, the ring seemed lost. Refusing to give up, Danya, along with a couple of friends, decided to return to the spot on the highway where Summer had been born.
The chances of finding the small ring seemed slim at best, lost in the vast expanse of roadside grass and gravel.
Yet, in a twist that seemed to mirror the miraculous nature of Summer’s birth, fate smiled upon them.

“Just as we were about to leave, I looked down, and by the grace of God, I found it right between my toes. I was scraping some grass away, and I just couldn’t believe it,” Danya said, his voice filled with amazement and gratitude.
It was as if the universe had conspired to return to him this symbol of love and commitment, just as it had brought his daughter safely into the world under the most unexpected circumstances.
Now, one week later, baby Summer is thriving, and Rebecca is recovering well. The Mahota family is adjusting to their new life with a newborn, forever cherishing the memory of that remarkable day when everything that could have gone wrong instead went perfectly right.
The Mahotas’ story is a reminder of the incredible strength and resilience that can emerge in moments of crisis and the unexpected miracles that life can bring.
As they reflect on their whirlwind experience, they know they will forever hold the memory of Summer’s dramatic entrance into the world—and the miraculous recovery of a wedding ring—as testaments to the extraordinary events that life can sometimes present.
