Amy Winehouse wanted to raise Blake Fielder-Civil's baby.
The late singer was reportedly so keen to have children that she sent texts claiming she wanted to be involved in her ex-husband's life, according to his mother Georgette Civil.
She told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "Amy said, 'We'll take the baby and raise him as our own'.
"Blake sent texts back saying it was a great idea. I couldn't believe what I was reading - they both lived in a dream world."
She also revealed how the 'Back To Black' singer - who died from accidentally alcohol pointing in July 2011 - was constantly planning "for her future" with her ex-husband, and even tried to visit him the in jail day before she passed away.
Georgette said: "Amy had so many plans for her future with Blake. He was in jail and they were divorced but she wrote to him and still longed for them to have a baby.
"The day before she died she had phoned the prison, trying to arrange a visit."
Despite the couple's problems, Georgette "couldn't accept" that her son was suffering, and it strained her own relationship with his father Giles.
She admitted: "I felt so guilty for Blake's problems that I couldn't accept they were so bad.
"I made excuse after excuse until Giles had enough. Still I couldn't accept Blake had done anything wrong."
