Just random snippets that have come to me, and necessarily fit in with the long term story. If you read The Ultimate Gentleman this will make a lot more sense.
It was a bright September day in Paris, and fashion week was well and truly under way. Lily-Rose was walking in Chanel's show, and was a huge part of the finale, so there was no way that Johnny and Holly were going to not attend. The press had painted Holly as a "wicked step mother" at times over the years but nothing was further from the truth, so after receiving an encouraging phone call from Lily's mother Vanessa, Holly went ahead with her plans to attend alongside her husband.

"Smile darling!" Holly said whilst trying to capture a photo, Lottie stood proudly in her brand new French inspired outfit, after huge internal debates, Holly had proposed the idea to Johnny. Lottie should be there to support her sibling just like Jack would be. "We can't let the press scare us into locking her away." She had said to the father who had eventually agreed and that's how they were stood about to climb into the waiting vehicle and speed off to the fashion show.
Lottie was seated in the middle of her parents in the rear of the car chatting animatedly. "Mummy I want to be like Lily!!!" "Well we'll see about that." Holly said with a smile noticing Johnny's eyes widen. "How about you be my little bookworm?" Johnny said looking down at his youngest. Holly was just 16 weeks pregnant with their second child, and was showing a lot quicker than previously, however a carefully strategic outfit had managed to hide their bump for the day out. "No I want clothes like sissy." Lottie said with a little pout that mimicked Johnny when he didn't get his own way. Holly giggled and struggled to hide it behind her hand as the car pulled up to the event. The sheer number of journalists and paparazzi scared her, she had never seen it so busy. "Right, remember what we said sweetheart. Stay close to Mummy and Daddy the whole time ok and Daddy will pick you up if you need cuddles?" Johnny said sweetly unstrapping Lottie from her seat.
The trio climbed out flanked by Sean and Travis, and the flashes were almost blinding. The usually confident Lottie was a little taken aback and hid behind Johnny's suit clad leg. He reached out and put his arm round her, and grabbed his little girl's hand. "It's ok sweetie," Holly said as she grabbed the other hand of their young daughter. "Over here!! Johnny!!! Holly!! This way!!!" The paparazzi yelled, the proud husband and father waved before briefly posing, and then moving on up to the main entrance of the venue. Lottie was beginning to dawdle, before her father scooped her up on his hip. "You did a good job sweetheart." He said kissing her head proudly. Lottie snuggled into her father as Holly was approached by a stunningly chic woman.
"Victoria! Hello!" Holly said still dumbfounded she lived this life. "Holly, how are you? It's so wonderful to see you!" The starstruck woman kissed the pop star turned fashion icon's cheeks and looked towards Johnny. "Have you two met? Johnny tends to avoid these things unless he has to." Holly giggled. "Pleasure" Johnny said with Lottie still in his arms. "David is around here somewhere, he would love to speak to you. Goodness we used to bring Harper when she was this little. Enjoy it, they grow so fast." Victoria said with a tender smile, whilst tickling Lottie under her chin. "Well we thought she would want to support her sister, and she's always demanding new outfits so we'll see how she gets on." Holly smiled before Victoria had to rush off. "Harper?" Johnny asked. "Their youngest, their only daughter." "I knew that." He said with a chuckle. "No you didn't... let's go find Vanessa." Holly said taking Johnny's outstretched hand with a giggle.
Lily-Rose stormed the run way and was met with huge applause, Vanessa and Johnny were sat proudly on the front row besides their respective spouses and children. "C'est super!" Vanessa said loudly clapping the models who were stood posing in the big finale, Holly beamed " Yay Lily!" Lottie was stood on her chair, admiring and waving madly to her elder sister. "Please welcome the newest face of Chanel, Lily-Rose Depp." The PA announced allowing Lily to step forward and receive the appreciation from the crowd making her family proudly swoon even more.
After the show, Johnny was stood with Vanessa, Samuel and Jack sipping a drink. They were eagerly awaiting Lily to return from backstage. Holly had nipped to the restroom with Lottie and was making her way back through the crowds of people scattered through the after party. Somebody offered a glass of champagne and rather than cause a fuss she simply took it and thanked them. "Mummy I can't wait to see sissy. She is so beautiful isn't she??" "Yes darling she is. Didn't she look incredible. What was your favourite?" "The pink dress." Lottie said proudly spotting her brother. "Jacky!!!!" She squealed jumping into his arms. "Hey little!" Jack said with a smile holding Lottie on his hip. "All ok darling?" Johnny asked, "yes she's getting very good at telling us when she needs to go. As always she's super proud." Holly blushed before handing him the glass of Champagne. "Holly, you look so well." Vanessa said with a smile, "thank you, I'm getting there. The nausea hasn't been as bad but still very much reminding me every day that they are there." She giggled. "Here's hoping it's a boy." Jack smirked ruffling his little sister's hair. "Ahh here she is now!" Johnny said proudly as he approached his eldest child wrapping in her a huge hug. "Darling, we are so proud!" Vanessa soon greeted her daughter too before the teen was met with lots of affection from her family.
Lastly, Lottie reached out for her sister. "Sissy!! I love you!!" She said proudly as Lily wrapped her in a huge hug. "I love you too Lottie. Look at you, Tres chic!" She giggled.
