WHERE’S YOUR DADDY? SLY MISSES BIRTH — BY A METER!

Kids, truth IS stranger than fiction!! Here’s the bizarre untold story about the birth of Sly Stallone’s new baby, and it’s straight from his lips to our ears — or I’d NEVER have believed it! When pregnant wife Jennifer Flavin checked into the hospital, anxious Sly hardly left her side, determined to witness the birth of their third child. Jennifer had suffered a tragic miscarriage in 1997, then their first child had undergone open-heart surgery for a birth defect — so Sly wanted to be there for his family at the crucial moment. As the hours dragged on, and delivery didn’t seem imminent, he left briefly to run some errands, then parked on the street outside the hospital — a fateful decision! Because a few hours later the super-rich star, wanting to avoid a $20 parking ticket, ran out to put coins in the meter and — you guessed it! — baby girl Scarlet abruptly made her triumphal appearance with Papa nowhere in sight! “It was unbelievable,” sighed Sly. “I run outside to feed a meter, come back a few minutes later and . . . Yo! . . . I’m a father again!”
