It's A Match!
Alyssa Hodges matched with Max Silvy on tinder and they agreed on a date. They hit off and went for two more dates. Things were going great for these two.
But they had no idea that their fourth date will be in the hospital.
Her Water Broke
Max had gone for a work trip outside town and was flying in that day. Alyssa had promised to pick him up from the hospital.
But before she could do so, her water broke.
She Was Pregnant
The pair had only known each other for eight weeks. In those eight weeks, they only went out three times. It was a short time.
Alyssa was pregnant at the time she met Max. But her pregnancy never bothered Max. Instead what he did later was beyond anyone's imagination.
Rushed Call
Alyssa calls Max and tells him how she can't pick him up since her water broke.
On hearing this Max rushes home and unpacks in hurry. He tells Alyssa that he will see her in the hospital.
Her Biggest Support
He drives straight to the hospital and would you believe that he stayed by her side through the entire labour.
Max was her biggest support.
Worries
Alyssa was nervous and thought she was all by herself. She was worried sick that after this they would break up.
They didn't know each other quite well and at this stage, Max's parents hadn't even heard about her. Her worries were not baseless.
More Worries
It wouldn't be out of the blue if they had. She wanted him to be her support person but this was a lot to ask from someone she had only known for 8 weeks.
Instead, it turned out just the opposite.
Hospital Rounds
Max ended up coming to the hospital and stood by her throughout the entire process. Alyssa had gone into labour in September 2021.
Doctors had determined that the baby wasn't quite ready to be born and hence they send her back home. She had to juggle between home and hospital for a week.
Contractions
For the whole week, Max was there for her. He would drive her back and forth to home and would cater to her needs the best he could.
She had contractions for days. The delivery itself took more than seven excruciating hours.
Maternity Ward And ICU
The hospital staff assumed Max to be the father and he didn't refute so that he could stay with Alyssa in the maternity ward.
But this lovely story doesn't end just yet. The newborn had to be taken to the neonatal intensive care unit.
Motherhood
Even then Max didn't leave Alyssa during these hard times. He took a week off from work after Alyssa and her son were released from the hospital, to help care for the child and support her transition into motherhood.
Hard days could put a strain on any years hardened relationship but for this pair, it only brought them closer.
Bonding
They both knew they liked each other but it was during these days in the hospital that their relationship peaked. It bonded them.
Alyssa shared her story on TikTok where she said, "So the fourth date was him coming to my labour, and delivery, and birth. Like, what?" Well, it surely was a miraculous fourth date.
Moved To Tears
Her story was overwhelmingly received on the social media platform. Viewers commented that this story made them move to tears.
Many praises went to Max. "So, so special. What an amazing man. Wish he was my dad," user @missbogan882 commented. And not just this. They gave a much special title too.
Man Of The Year
The TikTokers crowned him with the title "Man of the year". And the man of the year he is. Not many people stay by your side in difficult times but he did.
The baby boy was named Ollie and he the cutest little thing.
Happy Ending
The new mom also stated that their relationship's unusual beginning has only strengthened it.
The couple confirmed on TikTok that they are “in the process of moving in” together. Currently, they are raising Ollie together and have plans to get their own place soon.
