Courtesy Modesto Police Department(MODESTO, Calif.) Trent Kersey says he has known since he was a little kid that he wanted to be a police officer.
On Halloween, his longtime dream came true, about an hour after he and his wife Victoria Kersey welcomed their second child, a baby boy named Theo, at Memorial Medical Center in Modesto, California.
Theo s arrival, about a week earlier than his expected due date of Nov. 6, threw a wrench into Trent Kersey s original plan to graduate from San Joaquin Delta College Post Academy this week and get sworn in as a Modesto police officer.
"The day before, we were practicing rehearsals at the academy for our graduation, and then [I] came home that afternoon and talked to the wife. And then, next thing you know, we gotta go down to the hospital that night, and I had to call the academy staff and my department and let them know I wasn t gonna make it to graduation," Trent Kersey, 25, told "Good Morning America."
