Surprise delivery! Pregnant mom Kelly Xion was waiting for the Brooklyn-bound train at Bowling Green yesterday afternoon when her contractions began. EMTs Thomas Loggins and Jerry Chatelaim showed up fast, and said "the baby was already crowning" by the time they got there. Xion gave birth to a healthy son on the platform, with many commuters watching on! Xion and her son were quickly brought to New York Downtown Hospital. Perhaps she'll name him Bowling Green, taking after the parents of Number 16 Bus Shelter.
