The couple spoke last night about the death of their first child, Jackson, in 2001.
Mr Deaves said the death of the four-day-old boy from a heart defect had nothing to do with the genetics of their relationship.
"There's dozens of babies born every year that have this complaint or similar complaints," he said.
"We found ourselves holding our breath almost in expectancy, as though we might stand on the threshold of a great event, transfixed in the portentious moment of waiting, although inwardly we were perturbed since this new, awesome, orchestration of time and space which surrounded us might be only the overture to something else, to some most profoundly audacious of all these assaults against the things we had always known." ~Angela Carter
