"Ummm young lady... where did you get those biscuits from?! You've not even had breakfast yet!!" Holly said from where she was breastfeeding on the couch. "Daddy!!" Lottie giggled proudly as she came down the stairs into the living area. "Well come here and sit down before you choke." Lottie wandered up to her mother and jumped on the sofa beside her. "Baby bro ok?" she asked, "Yes Teddy just woke up a lot in the night so Mumma let Daddy sleep and came down here a few hours ago." Lottie nodded before smashing the last of the biscuits into her mouth. "Where did Daddy get them from?!" Holly said with a raised eyebrow. She had been awake a few hours and was yet to see Johnny. The girls had woken an hour or so before and had come downstairs but soon retreated to wake their father when their mother became occupied with the baby. "His secret stash.." Lottie giggled before snuggling up to her mother.
Johnny eventually made it down the stairs a while later with Pippa on his hip. She also looked to have partaken in the secret snack stash and had crumbs all over her pyjamas. "Hey darling.. why didn't you wake me?" "You needed to rest and besides, now he's got a feed in him, he seems pretty content." Johnny smiled and lent over the back of the couch to admire their newborn son was who lying asleep on the sleepyhead cushion beside Holly. "How is he six weeks old already?" The proud father said before kissing his wife's head. "I know.. it's gone way too fast." She said emotionally. "When does Lily and Jack's plane land?" She changed the subject rather rapidly. "Soon... I need to check and Gina called earlier but I missed it." "Oh don't worry she called me, it was about some film festival later this year." "Ahh my little PA are you now?" Johnny said before heading into the kitchen and putting the coffee on. His wife could hear him swearing at the machine under his breath from where she was sat on the couch. "Ha.. you wish Depp.. I have enough on right now!" "That you do.." he smirked re emerging with two mugs. "So... what are we going to do until Sissy and Jacky arrive?" Johnny said to the two little girls playing happily together for once. "Can we make a cake??" Lottie asked excitedly. Holly shrugged. There were worst ways to spend a Sunday morning.
An hour later, Lottie and Pippa were on their knees on the bar stalls lent over the island helping Holly with their cake. Johnny was sat at the large table nursing a coffee with Teddy in his arms. He was smiling as he watched the scene unfold. Holly could feel her husband's eyes were on her but did her best to concentrate and fuss over the two little girls. Apart from the odd tantrum they had taken so well to the new baby taking up a lot of their mother's attention and she wanted to still be a fun mum to them both before they grew up too quickly. Lottie being the sassy bossy pants she was, kept demanding to take charge, even when Holly claimed she knew a better way to do it. Pippa seemed content in just having the occasional go at mixing the cake ingredients but somehow had ended up covered in flour.
"Right.. careful.." Holly said helping the girls pour the mixture into the cake tins. "Well done!!" She gushed wiping her hands on her apron before the girls high fived one another and Holly carefully carried it to the oven. "Daddy we did it!!!!" They cheered jumping down and approaching Johnny. Before Holly could even say the words, or before Johnny could move the two little girl's flour covered hands were all over his shirt and face where they were trying to hug and kiss him. Holly couldn't help but giggle at her husband as his eyes widened at the mess. He carefully moved Teddy away from the squealing girls and somehow got Lottie and Pippa on his lap. "Well it's not like you've always been the most immaculate dresser." Holly smirked. "Oi.. I scrub up on occasion I'll have you know." She smiled approaching draping her arms around his neck from behind as she kissed his head. "That you do darling. Anyway, you look insanely handsome in anything you do... or don't wear..." before he could respond to her flirty comment she added "I think you've got your hands full here Mr Depp.. let me help you." She said reaching for Teddy. "He needs another feed anyway... girls can you make sure you keep an eye on that clock. Lottie when the big hand gets to the 12 what will it mean?" The 7 year old thought hard before saying loudly "that it's 12 o'clock!!!!" Johnny smiled "that's right Angel. Well done!" "And that will mean the cake is done, so Mummy or Daddy will get it out the oven ok? You're not to touch that oven do you hear me?" Holly said seriously knowing how independent her eldest had become. The two girls nodded as Holly sat down and began discreetly feeding Teddy.
