    A warning tonight to watch out for payday lenders doing business online.  Georgia's Attorney General is cracking down on one company he says was doing business illegally and taking advantage of Georgians.  He forced them to stop doing business here.

There's a little boy in Sylvester who will have quite a story to tell when he grows up.

He was born inside an ambulance two weeks ago. 

And the bond he shares with the two paramedics who brought him into the world runs even deeper than you might think.

Paramedics knew they couldn't get little Jordan Brown's mother to Tift Regional Hospital in time.

So, they changed their route to Phoebe Worth just a few miles away. It only took a minute to realize that wouldn't work either.

Two week old Jordan Brown seems peaceful now, but this little bundle of joy made an exciting entrance into the world. Paramedics say they had to make quick decisions. 

"We got there," said paramedic Chanaan Davis. "Her water had broke. Her OBGYN doctor was in Tifton. We made the decision that we were not going to make it to Tifton."

They left her house and decided they would take her to Phoebe Worth just a few miles away. But, they didn't even have that much time. 

"I turned around and looked," said David. "The head was out. I went to reach for another pair of gloves and she said 'here he comes.' I turned around and here he was."

Jordan Brown has three older siblings. His mother says the his excitement and energy did not last long.

Mom-"He really don't have a personality because he sleeps all the time," said Wytarium Brown, Jordan's mother. "He just sleep, sleep, sleep. When he ain't sleeping, he is eating. That is about the only time he will wake up is when he wants to eat."

Jordan looks a lot like his brothers and sisters. And he has something special in common with his older sister Kalaysja. 

Wytarium Brown said: "When the man got the door open, he was like 'don't push, please don't push.' I looked up and I said 'okay Mr.Scott.' He was like 'how do you know my name.' And I was like, you delivered my other baby too.

That's when the paramedics realized that this same scenario happened two years ago. The same mother and the same paramedics.

"We didn't recognize her at first," said paramedic Scott Meadows. "But, when she started calling our names, we knew we had a double decker going here."

As for the mom, Wytarium. She is glad that these two men took care of her and her babies two years apart. 

We asked the mother if she planned to have a fifth child. She adamantly said that there is no way that little Jordan will have a younger sibling.

While baby deliveries inside ambulances aren't that rare, delivering the same mother twice, well, what are the chances?
