I just wanted to post the transcript of the interview with April and Nicola from yesterday *advertiser censored*
AO We started off seeing each other and erm it was quite casual, we were both seeing other people at the time and then we sort of led on to have conversations whereby we thought it was getting serious and what we were going to do and what plans we had......erm so yeah we were getting on our way to being just us and happy and seeing what we wanted out of each other and where it was going.
Q. We know he disappeared at the end of September. How recently had you seen him before then?
AO Er I had seen him the near enough the same week that he had gone missing erm so I had seen him, I think I was, apart from the RAF boys, one of the last people to see him which was quite hard.
Q. But when he actually went missing you happened to be away abroad with your family didn't you? So when did you hear that he had gone missing?
AO Er, I had only been there... a few, literally a few days when I got the call from the RAF boys asking they...if I'd seen him or heard from him ….erm on the Monday I think it was and then that's when I knew that he was obviously missing and then I very quickly got a plane home
Q. and then how long after that did you then discover that you were pregnant?
AO I found out that I was pregnant a couple of weeks after I came back ...obvioulsy after going through police interviews ...unfortunately I've had to make a make a massive decision by myself. I mean I was hoping and praying that we'd find out some information and that he would come home so that we could make it together
We had had conversations about children and what we had wanted in the past and it was something I’ had hoped he would be here to help me make the decision but unfortunately he isn’t so it's a decision erm I've had to make alone and obviously I have the support of everyone around me and my family and friends , which is great but it's still not the most pleasant thing to go through on your own especially when the person you love is missing.
Q. So why have you come out now and decided to announce it in this way?
A. So I've decided to tell everyone now because I am at the stage of my pregnancy .where I'm happy. I'm slightly more emotionally relaxed as well as anything however this will be the only thing that I do erm given the stress levels that I'm under anyway,it's something that I kind of..I just want to be put out there and then I'm asking the public and the press to politely leave me alone
Q. to Nicola . And this will be your first grand child....
NU- It will yeah
Q. ,, it should be a joyous occasion for you , er can you feel any joy about it at the moment?
NU- erm "I was at the scan with April the other day erm and I don't think anybody could see that and not be affected by it. Erm "But it is incredibly difficult to bounce my head, as it is for April as well, from the excitement of a new baby to what we're actually trying to focus on just now which is finding Corrie."
Q Nicola & April, thank you very much .
