This mother was so grateful for the timely arrival of these two police officers that she named her newborn son after the heroic boys in blue.

Vanessa Prado was in labor on the way to the hospital when she told her boyfriend Dennis Dillard to pull over – she knew she wasn't going to make it.

Officers Matt Enderlin and Erik Hustard arrived just in time to successfully coach Vanessa through the birth.

The mother was so grateful, she made newborn Pierce Dillard's middle name ‘Merick' – a combination of the names Matt and Erik.
