HI EVERYONE! I'm just getting around to re-writing the Picture Perfect sequel, so without further ado you are reading the re-done first chapter of: FIRE AND ICE! Now this chapter continues on from where Picture Perfect left off. Now for people who haven't read Picture Perfect I suggest you read it as this story will probably confuse you if you don't, now even though I was the writer of the story I got a bit confused over the ages of my characters so here is the details on the characters and their ages:
Brax – 30 years old Charlie – 30 years old Ruby – 18 years old
Mckenzie – 1 years old Heath – 25 years old Bianca – 28 years old
Casey – 18 years old Bella – 18 years old Cooper – 19 years old
Imogen – 5 months old Jayden – 5 months old Darcy – 5 years old
Okay so that fills you in and it now helps me for future reference now just want to add that Cooper is actually 1 year older than Bella so he is turning 20 and Bella, Casey and Ruby are turning 19. Okay now that is sorted we can move on to the next thing. Before writing this story I started writing another story, now as mentioned in Picture Perfect it's a COLA (Bella and Cooper) spin off and it's called: Forget Me Not. I also wrote a one shot about Bella's attack (again another Picture Perfect reference!) it is called The Night That Changed The Braxton's. Please review and tell me your thoughts. Dannielle xoxo

Previously…..
I was standing beside Cooper his arm draped loosely around my waist as he drunk a beer with my brothers when suddenly Heath and Brax tensed up "what the hell are you doing here?" Heath spat angrily causing everyone to go quiet and turn to look at the middle aged man standing at the side gate "I just came to see you all again" he said and Heath shook his head angrily "get lost" he spat and Bianca stood up "Heath what is going on?" she asked and Heath just stood angrily staring at the man "Isabella you look so beautiful" the man said as I stood more alert and confused, Cooper tightened his arm around my waist protectively as Casey moved into view "Casey haven't you grown" the man said and Casey look just as confused as me "who are you?" Casey asked and I looked to a stunned, not moving Brax "Brax who is he?" I asked and Brax uttered the words that made my legs weak "dad" he said croakily
BRAX POV
"what are you doing here?" I asked stunned as I stared back at the man who had abandoned us all those years ago "I came to see how my kids were" he said like nothing had happened "why you've never bother before" I spat and he looked away "no, I have been planning on coming to see you for a while now" he said and I shook my head and looked away "dada" Mckenzie said and I looked down to see my beautiful baby girl looking up at me with her shiny blonde hair that curled in ringlets at the bottom and her shiny blues eyes that were frosted with tears "it's okay" I said bending down and scooping her into my arms "you have a daughter?" dad said and I looked back at him "yeah I do" I said holding Mckenzie tight "you got kids?" he said looking to Heath "three " Heath spat angrily while Darcy hid behind his leg "wow, I've got grandkids" he asked and I laughed "you'll never know them" I said and Mckenzie buried her head into the crook of my neck, I stroked her hair and kissed her forehead before looking back to him "I know your mad and you have every right to be but I just want to get to know you" he said "I think you need to leave" I said and he shook his head "I'm your father I to know you" he said turning to face Casey and Bella "I can't believe how grown up you two are" he said and they both looked away "I think you should go, you've interrupted a private party" I said and he took a step towards me "please leave" Casey said and dad turned to face him "son you don't mean that" he said and Casey rolled his eyes "I am not your son" he said turning and walking out to the backyard.
HEATH POV
I watched as Casey headed down the back towards the beach, it was where he always went to think. It was different for Brax and , we'd know dad, I had an image of his face, his voice things they never had. I couldn't understand what it would be like, they had grown up without him there and now he was here wanted a second chance. I shook my head as Bianca walked up to me and slid her arm around my back "are you okay?" she asked "yeah I'm fine" I said. I looked back at Casey and I hope he was too.
BELLA POV
I had just met my dad. I felt my eyes burning as the air flew into them, I blinked a few timesHe left just as fast as he had arrived, it wasn't so much his arrival that has made me curious more the timing. Why now? I mean it has already been so long, he could have gone the rest of his life without seeing us be he chose to come back now. I sat in silence on the steps of the gazebo, footsteps sounded behind me "you okay?" Brax asked and I nodded "yeah" I mumbled and he sighed "you sure?" I shrugged "why now, why after all this time does come back now?" I asked confused and Brax shook his head "I don't know" he said simply and I turned to look at him "you're supposed to have the answers" I said and he laughed again "since when?" he said and I rolled my eyes "I don't know" I said throwing my hands up and he laughed "We'll get an answer" he said standing up and heading back to the party.
CASEY POV
I sat on the sand, staring out over the ocean. He had been here. After 18 years of wondering and unanswered questions he was here, I had seen him. He stood less than two feet away from me and I hadn't asked him a single question. I'd thought so many times of the things I would say – ask if he ever showed up and now here he was standing right in front of me and I froze up. I had so many questions but did I really want the answers?
