No I don't think it would come to you. Some pensions have provisions for say 50% to be paid to a spouse after the death of the pension holder. You may be better posting on the pensions board.

Emma it depends on his pension scheme - there may be provision for dependent children to receive something. However if you are asking if his pension will pass to you (as an adult) then I would think that very unlikely.
