Scott Steele and his wife Misty Beaty never expected to be parents, especially not on Monday night when Misty went to the ER for abdominal pain.

The Cedar Rapids, Iowa couple was told by doctors that they wouldn’t be able to have a baby without medical intervention.  About five years ago Scott was diagnosed with stage four colorectal cancer, and after extensive chemotherapy, he was told he would probably never become a father.

Misty had her own medical problems as well, so she never suspected she was pregnant.

All medical issues aside though, baby Briggs arrived a healthy 7 pounds 14 ounces a little more than 12 hours after their ER visit.

“I’m still in disbelief. Part of me is so excited and I feel so blessed. And part of me is like, really?” Steele told KCRG.

Misty insists she had no pregnancy symptoms and only gained 10 pounds.

Scott, a known practical joker, had a hard time convincing some of their friends their news was for real.

The couple is now focusing on getting everything the need for a baby, and preparing to head home from the hospital.
