Hi everyone, I would just like to take this opportunity to run something by you all. I have been thinking and I have come up with two COLA spin offs, they will be solely based on Bella and Cooper and they are really different. I am not 100% sure on the details but I just wanted to see if any of you would read a fic solely based on Bella and Cooper – of course Charlie, Brax, Heath, Bianca, Ruby and Casey will feature but it is really just about COLA. So please let me know in your reviews what you think and whether you would be interested in reading, I may even select a few of my favourite reviews and send them a sneak peek to see if they like it so everyone use your login to review for the chance to get a sneak peek and check your inbox! And also glad everyone is as disgusted by this whole Leah and Brax thing as I am! Okay now on with the story. Review please, Dannielle xoxo

CHARLIE POV
The next morning we were all sitting around the fire pit eating breakfast, the boys made their coffee as I was feeding Mckenzie "ERGH!" Brax spat "what?" I asked confused "it's salty" he said and I laughed "oh yeah, we switched the sugar and salt last night" I said and he rolled his eyes. Bella appeared a short time later wearing a pair of long sleep pants and one of Cooper's shirts, Cooper trailed behind her as they both sleepily stumbled over to the fire pit "morning" I said cheerfully "mm" Bella mumbled and Cooper waved, I chuckled as I continued to feed Mckenize. Once everyone was awake and alert I decided to put something on the table "so today I was thinking we could have a picnic lunch up there a bit and go swimming or play a game" I said and everyone nodded "yeah it sounds like fun" Bianca said a mouth full of toast "yeah we're in" Ruby said referring to Casey "us too" Bella said and Cooper nodded. I smiled before standing up and going to get the picnic basket.
We walked up to the picnic spot Brax and I had lunched at the other day, Ruby was holding Mckenzie's hand as she stumbled clumsily along beside her with Casey keeping a firm grip on her other hand keeping her upright "mamma look" she said and I smiled "yeah baby soon you'll be able to walk all on your own like a big girl hey" I said and she giggled "Mcsie a big girl!" she cheered and we laughed, she still couldn't pronounce we name so she Mc-sie which Brax and I though was funny and Ruby and Bella had taken to calling her that as a nickname. It wasn't long before we arrived at the tree and set everything up, I had Mckenzie sitting up surrounded by a few pillows with her favourite elephant teddy "shit!" Mckenzie said happily and I gasped "Mckenzie Isabella Braxton" I cried and she looked up with her big blue/green eyes "oopsies" she said giggling as she thrashed her elephant around "we don't say that word Missy okay?" I said and she nodded "kay mamma" she shrugged "we don't say what?" Heath asked walking up to the blanket "shit!" Mckenzie repeated "Mckenzie!" I cried "sorry mamma" she said smiling and I giggled "she is definitely a Braxton, Bella used to say that too" he said and I laughed as I pictured a baby Bella swearing at random.
I laid out lunch on the blanket and put some cheese on a cracker for Mckenzie "you want some cheese Kenzie?" I asked offering her the cracker, she took it and smiled before pulling the cheese off with her little hand and throwing the cracker away before shoving the cheese in her mouth, she giggled madly, he mouth full of cheese and her face covered with cheese crumbs "nummie, mummy" she said and I laughed "want some more?" I asked and she nodded eagerly "more, more, more!" she cheered and I looked at her seriously "p-wease mamma" she said holding out her little hand as I placed a small slice of cheese in it and she repeated her previous step "you're just like your daddy" I smiled placing a kiss on her forehead "DADDY!" she shrieked and I laughed, she had been calling Brax daddy recently but each time she said it she would screech it in a high pitched voice and hold her hands up, Brax popped his head around the tree and she burst into laughter "someone call me?" he asked smiling as Mckenzie giggled away like an idiot "DADDY!" she screeched again and he laughed scooping her up in his arms "cheese daddy!" she said patting her face and then his "cheese nummy" she said and Brax nodded "yes it is, you're just a cheeky monkey" he said and she giggled, kicking her legs "c-weeky mo-wnkey" she said and he laughed "that's right baby" he said taping her nose "have you been good for mummy while I have been setting stuff up?" he asked and she gave him a toothy grin "nup, nup" she said and he laughed "you're definitely a Braxton" he said and I nodded "Heath said that same thing" and Mckenzie laughed "Mc-sie Bra-wxton" she said and we laughed "that's you baby girl" Brax said and she nodded pointing her little fingers at herself.
RUBY POV
Bella, Casey, Cooper, Heath, Bianca, Darcy and I were all standing knee deep in the water letting the eels swim through our legs, we could hear Mckenzie's laughter getting closer and soon she came stumbling around the tree holding Brax and Charlie's hands "WUBY" she squealed and I turned around, we all walked out of the water and I bent down onto my knees and held my arms out "Mckenzie!" I squealed back matching her voice and she laughed, throwing her head back. She let go of Charlie and Brax's hands and stumbled forward "SHE'S WALKING!" Charlie cried and Brax raced to get the video camera as Mckenzie stumbled over to me and flopped into my arms "I WALKIE" she cried and we all cheered "you are such a clever girl Kenzie!" I said scooping her up and hugging her tightly "I know" she said and we all laughed "I WANNA SWIM!" she cried throwing her hands up "well okay then" I said setting her on the ground as Brax came back with the camera "daddy! Whas dat?" she said as she clumsily stumbled over to her dad "this baby girl is a camera" he said kneeling down "say hi" he said and she held her hand up and wave "HI!" she squealed looking around "who here? " she asked and we laughed "no-one you say hi to the camera" he said and she looked confused "k, hi cam-wa" she said and we laughed. She grabbed the waistband of she shorts and pulled them down revealing her swimming nappy and tried to pull her top over her head "mamma it stuck" she said and Charlie laughed as she quickly tugged it off Mckenzie's head.
Mckenzie stumbled over and grabbed my hand and took a hold of Bella's and ran to the water, when we didn't move she stopped and turned to face us, crossing her arms over her chest "why no moving" she said and Charlie held up her floaties "woopsies" she laughed as Charlie slid them up her arms, she took our hands again and this time we let her lead us into the water "OOH COLD, MAMMA COLD" she squealed jumping up and down in the water before she fell flat on her face in the water "woopsies" she said standing up again, she walked further out into the water with Bella and I following her "MAMMA ME SWIMMING LOOK MAMMA, DADDY LOOK!" she squealed as Brax and Charlie walked into the water "yeah clever girl" Brax and Charlie said reaching us "B-wella" she said looking over a Bella and squinting "yes" Bella said "I swimming" she said and we laughed "yeah I know, aren't you just the cleverest little princess ever" she said and Mckenzie nodded "yeah" she said as she kicked her legs.
We were sitting on the blanket eating lunch when Mckenzie piped up "LOOK AT MOI" she cried and everyone looked "LOOK AT MOI" she repeated and we laughed "KIMMY LOOK AT MOI" she cheered and we burst into laughter "Bella you got her started on this" Brax said and Bella laughed "what can I say, she's got good taste hey princess" she said looking at Mckenzie "yeah, yeah, yeah!" she cheered pumping her little arms, Bella laughed and held her hand out, Mckenzie flung her arm back and slapped it down on Bella's palm, which didn't hurt cause she isn't that strong and she cried "HIYA!" as she brought her hand down, we all laughed as we watched the little girl act like a complete moron and have everyone eating out of the palm of her hand.
What did you think? Lots of Mckenzie but I got started and the ideas about her just kept flowing, I picture her as such a cute little mix of Charlie and Brax. I imagine her with Charlie's skin and blue-ish eyes with hits of green, blonde hair (from the Braxton's – Bella), and Brax's cheeky grin and cute rosy cheeks. I don't picture her being too chubby but just having average baby chub. I hope you liked this, the next chapter will be the last for the camping trip (at the moment) and then I will get on with some other stuff and of course drama. Please review and let me know what you think of a COLA only spin off plus your thoughts on this chapter. Please review, the more reviews the quicker the updates! Dannielle xoxo
