"Happy birthday gorgeous girl!!" Holly said wrapping her arms around Lily. The eldest Depp child was celebrating turning 21 in style, in an exclusive London hotel, The Ned. Her closest family and friends had gathered on the private terrace to have cocktails prior to dinner. Greg who was the unofficial photographer for the evening approached "John can we get a photo of the birthday girl with her old man??" Johnny smirked before excusing himself from his wife's side who watched on with adoration.

"Holly... darling, you look exquisite." Vanessa approached with a smile kissing the woman on both cheeks. "How on earth did you have a baby only a month ago??" Vanessa said holding her at arm's length lovingly. "Oh please.. there are a lot of ruffles in this dress hiding things!" Holly said greeting the woman with a wide smile hugging her. "I can't believe she's 21!" Vanessa said watching Johnny pose with Lily-Rose. "Me neither. Where has that little girl gone?" Holly said emotionally before Samuel approached. "Bonjour Holly.." "Salut Samuel. Ca Va?" Holly greeted with a smile and kisses. "We're well, how are you? Where's your cute little guy?" "He's upstairs in a suite with my mother. We are taking it in shifts tonight. She's a proud step grandmother and doesn't want to miss this." Holly said smiling. "Ahh that's sweet, you should bring him down if you feel comfortable to, I know Lily adores him and can't wait to show him off." Vanessa smiled sweetly before they were joined by Johnny once again and Lily wandered to family friends who had arrived.
"You ok darling?" Johnny asked "I'm just a little antsy.." "go check on him?" Johnny said shaking his wrist looking at his watch. "It's nearly time for a feed anyway." "Are you sure?" She asked nervously. "Doll, you don't need to ask me. You're the most amazing mother, do what you need to do. Lily understands and besides it gives me a chance to show my mother in law off doesn't it." Holly smiled as Johnny escorted her to the lobby and they rode up in the elevator to their suite.
Grace fussed over her newborn grandson as if he was her own before Johnny graciously took her arm to escort her to the party. "Oooo you are a charmer aren't you.." Grace said giggling as Holly rolled her eyes. "He's also my husband mum!!" "I know; I know, as your grandmother would say... I wouldn't say no to his boots under my bed." Holly and Grace giggled as Johnny blushed and the pair left the room. Holly slid her dress down and began to feed her baby.
After a while, Holly checked the time and noticed the party would be sitting down to dinner soon, so placed a sleepy fed Teddy in his pram and gently placed a blanket over him. She navigated out the hotel suite doors with great difficulty and then she realised why she found it so hard. She was never usually alone, either Johnny or Travis were with her nigh on all the time. Is this what "normal" mothers felt like? Her eyes widened. At what stage had she lost touch with reality? She was still a normal woman wasn't she? Granted she had a luxurious life thanks to her husband but surely she hadn't changed that much? Putting those thoughts to one side she made her way to the elevator and called it whilst making a fuss over Ted.
Eventually she made her way into the large dining room that was beautifully set for the occasion, and pushed the pram into the far corner close to where her and Johnny were seated, Lily rushed over "Is he ok?!" "He's fine, just had a feed and is almost asleep but I didn't want to miss your dinner so I'm sure we can all manage, that is if you don't mind?" "Mind?? Of course not. He's my new baby brother of course I don't mind." Lily hugged Holly before rushing off. Johnny approached with Pippa on his hip. The four year old had the remains of tears on her face, but other than that looked adorable in her pretty dress. "What happened?" Holly said concerned. "She was running around outside and fell over, then Mummy wasn't here for a cuddle so it was the end of the world." Johnny smirked. "Oh darling.. are you ok?" Holly said to her middle child. "Yes, Daddy took care of me with extra cuddles." Holly smiled kissing the child's head. "Where's Lottie?" "With G of course." Johnny said knowingly. The pair looked up and across the room and spotted G stood near a couch where Lottie was sat animatedly chatting to her godmother.

The family and close friends all sat at the lavish table, awaiting their first course when Johnny stood. Lottie and Pippa proudly cheered at their father, earning smirks from Lily and Jack and hushes from their mother making other adults around the table smirk.
"My biggest groupies ladies and gents.." Johnny smirked before taking a small piece of paper out his inside pocket. "So, my darling daughter asked me to say a few words tonight, and I'm honoured but also completely floored as to how I am a father to a 21 year old." The audience smirked as he looked across proudly at Lily who was sat at the head of the table. "My darling daughter... my first born. The one who made me a father. Who made me breathe. What can I say, that's not already been said, you are the most beautiful, courageous, sensational young woman I've ever met. Your mother, Samuel, Holly and I are so incredibly proud of the lady you are, the role model you are. I know for a fact, that Jack, Jules, Lottie, Pippa and Teddy are the luckiest siblings in the world to have you, as we all are to have you in our lives. Thank you for being the most gracious daughter and loving your old man eternally" Johnny said the last word rather emotionally, and Lily jumped up as Johnny walked around to his daughter and hugged her right before kissing her head. "Now let's party!!!!" Jack cheered raising his glass.
