Ashlynn Parrott was working customer service at the Kroger in Towne Lake on Good Friday when she picked up a phone call that immediately stood out.“She said, ‘This is going to be the weirdest call you’ve ever gotten,’” Parrott said. “And then she told me, ‘I have a friend, she’s in your parking lot, and she’s in labor.’” The caller said her friend was in the store’s parking lot — unable to reach family — with a 2-year-old child in the backseat.She gathered two coworkers and headed outside to search the large parking lot. They eventually found the woman parked in an expectant mother space with her hazard lights on.While another employee called 911, Parrott stayed by the woman’s side — talking to her, asking questions, and trying to keep her calm as they waited for help. “I called her name and asked her how many kids she had, ” Parrott said. “I think it might have just been a shock to go into labor in a grocery store. So I was just letting her know that I was thereEmergency crews arrived within minutes and transported the mother and her child to the hospital.Looking for a job in Houston?

Parrott says she has stayed in touch with the family friend who made that initial call, but has not met the mother or newborn in person since that day.“My mom always told me, do anything that you can for somebody in any situation,” Parrott said.Teacher accused of tying up student, recording video in office during English proficiency lessonsTeacher accused of tying up student, recording video in office during English proficiency lessons Best spring gadgets for your home: Home Improvement and Lifestyle expert Kathryn Emery shares her top picksTexans' E.J.
