An off-duty labor and delivery nurse out shopping with her family was forced to jump into action after a Georgia mother suddenly went into labor, 11 Alive reports.
Picault said she had visited the doctor the day before and didn't think her baby, Maleek Ari Picault, was about to arrive.
About 20 minutes after entering the store, Picault's water broke and she went into labor.
Caris Lockwood, a nurse at Piedmont Healthcare, had spotted Picault earlier and immediately stepped in to offer some assistance.
"I didn't think she was going to deliver that fast at first, but then she had a really painful contraction and her water broke," Lockwood told 11 Alive. "As a labor and delivery nurse I kind of knew what was about to happen."
Lockwood said her sister grabbed towels and gloves. The nurse then delivered Picault's baby right outside the store, before the ambulance could arrive. Baby Maleek was born at seven pounds, 10 ounces.
"There was really no time," she said. "Mother Nature waits for no one. So we delivered right there, at the car."
Picault told the outlet that Lockwood being at the store to help her was "God's provision."
Target released a statement about the surprise delivery thanking the "nurses and medical team that jumped in to help."
"We're happy to hear mother and baby are doing well," the company said.
