A teenager found out she was pregnant seven days after her boyfriend was stabbed to death

Ms Lawlor-Khan tells Ayden 'about his dad every day' and says she always shows him 'pictures and videos'





Alexandra Lawlor-Khan, 19, from Watford, Hertfordshire, described the moment she found out she was expecting her boyfriend Aqeel Khan's baby as 'extremely emotional'


The couple's son Ayden Lawlor-Khan was born in May this year – less than a year after his father died following a 3.5-inch stab wound, which pierced his lung and damaged a major artery.

Miss Lawlor-Khan, who changed her surname to honour the man she calls her 'husband', said: 'I was with Aqeel's family when I found out I was pregnant in August 2014 – seven days after he died.

'We all cried. It was amazing to know we'd have a part of him back, but devastating to think he wouldn't be here to watch his child grow up.

'Aqeel would have been a wonderful father. He'd have spoiled Ayden rotten. We always used to talk about having kids. We wanted a huge family together.

'I'm trying to focus on being a good mum and making sure Ayden knows how amazing his dad was.'
Teenage sweethearts Ms Lawlor-Khan and Mr Khan first met in 2011, after Mr Khan had noticed her around and asked mutual friends to give him her number so he could get to know her better
