There are lots of ways to tell your partner you’re pregnant, but many women opt for a clever surprise.

A Texas woman went one step further and pranked her husband in a way that he’ll never forget.

Nikki had an acquaintance in the Hurst Police Department and she asked him if he’d partake in the special announcement. She had even concocted a plan to get him pulled over by the officer in order to deliver the news.

As the couple drove down the road one day, sirens blared. Nikki’s husband Jarred had no idea why he was being pulled over and, like many of us, was nervous that he had done something wrong but didn’t know what.

While he fidgeted with the stereo and tried to figure out what was going on, Nikki told him to relax. She knew precisely what was about to happen.

As the officer approached, Jarred realized that he recognized the officer, but that didn’t make him any less nervous about potentially getting a ticket. Nevertheless, the two greeted each other fondly.

“How’s it goin’? I haven’t seen you in forever, man,” said the officer.

After a brief exchange, the officer told Jarred why he pulled him over.

“I gotta be honest. The reason why I stopped you is you have a child in the car with no child seat,” he said, pointing to an empty back seat.

Jarred was perplexed.

“I don’t have a child,” he said.

As the officer said, “are you sure?” Nikki got her prop ready – it was her positive pregnancy test.

Jarred looked around the car, insisting that this was all a big mistake, but finally, the officer pointed to the passenger seat where Nikki was holding the test.

“We do have a child in the car with no car seat!” she said as she giggled at her husband.

His jaw dropped. It was a great surprise as his face lit up with excitement and he stared at the test in disbelief.

He took the test to see for himself, still speechless.

“I think that means you’re a daddy, buddy,” the officer said as he jokingly suggested they name the baby Todd, after him.

That’s when the officer’s partner walked up to the passenger side window with a gift bag Nikki had planted with them earlier.

She handed it over to her husband who was flustered and thrilled at the same time.

Inside the bag was a little teddy bear with the message “Dad, see you on your birthday.”

Her due date was Jarred’s birthday.

The bag also contained a onesie that said: “I love my amazing dad.”

Overwhelmed, he thanked the officer and turned to his wife to tell her how happy he was as he planted kisses on her.

The two giggled as Jarred tried to catch his breath after the adrenaline rush of being pulled over and then being told he was going to be a dad.

While it all worked out sweetly, PEOPLE reported that Jarred had just gotten out of the hospital where he had been admitted twice in the last 6 months for panic and anxiety attacks. In fact, the couple knew the officers because they had helped out during a very tough time in Jarred’s life:

“I actually met the officers in the video during a very traumatic panic episode in November 2016 and ever since he’s become a great advocate for my family and I,” he said.

We’re just glad the poor guy didn’t have a heart attack when he got pulled over!
