After welcoming their second child just last month, Troian Bellisario and her husband Patrick
J. Adams are finally speaking out about their birth story, and let’s just say it was quite
literally a WILD ride.
Troian Bellisario is currently on Cloud 9 after she, her husband Patrick and their two-year-old
daughter Aurora welcomed their second daughter, Elliot Rowena Adams, in mid-May, buuuuut the
story of her birth was anything but a walk in the park…
While catching up with Scandal star Katie Lowes on her podcast Katie’s Crib, Troian
and Patrick dished on their shocking delivery as Ms. Elliot decided to make her grand debut
from the backseat of their car right outside the hospital.
Yes, you heard that right!
Troian started out by recalling her “rapid contractions” at home, to which she and
Patrick immediately hopped in the car and headed straight to the hospital assuming they
had plenty of time to spare, buuut boy were they wrong.
“I’m starting to have to push my seat belt away from me as we’re getting close
to Cedars...
I'm in a lot of pain, but I'm also like, ‘I can't be in this position anymore.’”
Patrick added that things went from zero to 100 REAL quick, adding, QUOTE “As soon as
I hit the button and get the ticket, she's screaming.
I whip around, and by the time I turn my head around, Troian is fully on her hands and knees
and we've gone nuclear.”
At this point, Patrick knew it was go-time, to which he explained QUOTE, “I get up to
the guy and I say, ‘It's all happening, in the car.
You need to get the wheelchair down here, you need to get the people, all the people!
all the professionals!
It's happening!’”
Troian continued her famous “howl”, as Patrick recalled, as she told him to help
get her pants off, and as he put it, "She is still on all fours, butt facing the windshield.
Her butt's at my head level, so I just go and pull down her pants and the baby's head
is right there.”
Ummm OMG can you imagine?!
We’ll just go ahead and spare you any more of the explicit details, but in a moment that
neither Patrick nor Troian will ever forget, Patrick delivered Elliot himself after being
forced to man-up, saying, “There was no room for panic.
You just need to deal with this situation.”
Troian felt a sigh of relief after she looked behind her to see Patrick holding Elliot upside
down as she was wailing, saying, “I was like, ‘She’s alive, she’s OK.
She’s breathing.”
The new parents of two later took to Instagram to share sweet photos of their newest addition,
while shedding light on the wild experience they endured.
Patrick wrote, “May your life be as unique and exciting as your arrival,” while Troian
said, “Ms. Elliot Rowena Adams joined us on May 15th under the wildest of circumstances.”
The story of this delivery is even more ironic considering the fact that Troian admitted
early on in the pregnancy that while she didn’t mind how the baby was delivered, the only
thing she wanted was for either her or Patrick to “catch the baby” and experience actually
pulling her out into the world.
Wow if that’s not a literal interpretation I don’t know what is!
And if you really think about it, technically they got their wishes when it came to Troian’s
one birthing request, but maybe just not under the calmest of circumstances.
That said, we’re SO thrilled to hear that mom and baby are both healthy and doing well,
as this is surely one story the Bellisario-Adams family will NEVER forget.
