Chloe Craig is expecting a baby girl in the spring.
A young Glasgow woman says discovering she was pregnant with a baby girl has given her "purpose again" after her sister killed herself after being raped by their dad.
Chloe and her 29-year-old partner Michael are expecting their daughter in April next year, and she says it has given her "purpose" and a "reason to be here". Her statement to police was read out at the High Court in Glasgow when Elder was sent down for the assault - branded "unthinkable" by Judge Lord Matthews."I never thought he was capable of something like that.Elder was arrested and charged with rape but three months after the horrifying incident, Chloe got a call from her aunt to say her sister had attempted to commit suicide."As soon as I heard I went home and there were ambulance and police everywhere.
Liz's COPD - a group of lung conditions that cause breathing difficulties - were exacerbated and she hardly left the house, Chloe said."I peeked my head in her room in the morning but it was all dark so I thought she was sleeping," Chloe said."Her skin was grey and her lips blue."I went into shock thinking 'this can't be happening.'"A post-mortem revealed Liz died of cardiac enlargement and coronary artery scoliosis - or as Chloe believes, a broken heart.
