I am sorry for your plight but you need to be clearer in what has actually happened and you want done. I assume probate has been closed. Children of his body are legally treated the same so it does not matter whether you were married or not at the time of conception. Unless his Will provided differently, you would have inheirted his property. What did happen is very unclear in your question.
