A mother gave birth to a baby boy in a car pulled over on the side of a road – then decided to call the newborn ‘Atom Bomb.’

Jessica Killian, 32, gave birth to the unusually-named infant in the passenger seat of her car on Interstate 85 near Kings Mountain, North Carolina on New Year’s Day.

‘I think we got his name right from the beginning. I think he came in like an A-bomb,’ Killian said, who added she was already a mother of three.

Killian’s boyfriend, Earl Sain, was driving her to the hospital to deliver the baby, but when they were about 15 minutes away she said she could not wait anymore, WSOCT reported.




‘The baby just came out! The baby just came out!’ Sain told the 911 dispatcher as he delivered the baby.

Killian’s five-year-old daughter watched the delivery from the backseat as little Atom Bomb was brought into the world weighing a healthy 7 pounds, 14 ounces.

‘He is perfect to have been born in a car, I don’t know…I guess you would think something would have went wrong, but it didn’t,’ Killian said.

‘It was amazing to see him in a car not in a hospital, and his dad to be the one delivering him.’

The couple used a shoestring to tie the umbilical court, then drove two exits up the highway to meet an ambulance that was waiting to take Atom Bomb to the hospital.

Weeks later, Killian was arrested for trafficking meth, according to Newsweek.

She was arrested on January 22 after police allegedly found 36 grams of methamphetamine in the same car she delivered Atom Bomb in.

Now, Killian’s mother, Barbara Pope, may have to take care of Atom Bomb – even though she does not approve of the child’s name and has not spoken to her daughter since Atom Bomb’s birthday.

‘It’s a mother’s choice. I don’t particularly like “Atomic (sic) Bomb” but I hope it works out for her,’ Pope said.

Pope said the baby was healthy and dispelled the notion that her daughter had been using meth while pregnant.

‘He’s healthy from what I see and the hospital never said anything like that,’ Pope said, adding that she will not attempt to change the baby boy’s name.

‘Atom is fine with me. I’ll keep it unless she wanted it changed,’ Pope said.

The baby remains in the care of the county, although Killian posted a $75,000 bond and was released from jail as she awaits trial.
