The grieving woman then shared how she felt at that moment. According to Kay, it was unbelievable and felt like she had died. Kay said she tried to stay hopeful, convincing Webb they would make it out of the ordeal. However, things didn’t end up the way she imagined. One week after the tragedy, Kay got the news that left her even more emotional. She had gone to the hospital for a blood test to confirm her pregnancy. According to her, Justin Bieber’s Ghost was playing when the doctor came in to share the results. Spencer Webb’s girlfriend said she took it as a sign her late boyfriend was there with her.
Moments later, the doctor told Kay she was pregnant. “As down and out of it as I was, there was a little bit of happiness inside of me knowing I’m going to have a piece of him,” she said. Kay finally welcomed her bundle of joy, Spider, on March 30, 2023.
