Description: One Tree Hill- The Next Generation. What happens when Nathan, Lucas, Haley, Peyton, Brooke, and Rachel grow up and have kids. Will their children make the same mistakes they did or come up with new ones of their own?
Disclaimer: I don't OTH or any books, songs, or movies that maybe mentioned in this. I do however own the idea of this story and Charlie, Logan, and Heather.
A/N: So I totally know that future fics like this have kinda been done before but I promise you that NO ONE has ever done one exactly like this. My favoritest Jedi and I were throwing this idea around the other night and I decided to run with it. So sit back and enjoy the ride. Feedback is always loved. Just so you know this story will focus on the parents and the teens.
Background/Things you should really know about this story: This story is set in the future, eighteen years into the future to be exact, so I guess you should probably consider it AU. In high school, as soon as Haley found out she was pregnant she pushed Nathan away. So this is kinda like a reverse Dan/Karen thing. After doing this she and Lucas ended up together. Nathan was heartbroken and he and Peyton got back together and were married within the year. Brooke and Rachel got closer as the months went on and ended up together. Don't look at me like that I said this was AU. Anyway nine months later Naley baby was born and Haley and Lucas named him Logan. A year later Peyton gave birth to a baby girl named Charolette. Brooke and Rachel also had a baby girl named Heather. Rachel gave birth to her and Felix was the sperm donor. Seriously…stop looking at me like that. All three couples and their children live in Tree Hill still. Logan is a senior and Heather and Charlie are juniors.
It is said that we repeat the sins of our fathers. Sometimes we do it knowingly, sometimes unknowingly, and in the most heartbreaking circumstances we do it even though we fight like hell not to.
"Ugh!" Charlie exclaimed bitterly as she slammed her Chemistry book and sketch pad on the kitchen table, causing her mother to look at her with a raised eyebrow. "I CANNOT believe we share the same freakin' DNA," Charlie semi-explained as she sat down in the chair opposite her mother.
"What happened?" Peyton asked grinning at her daughter.
"He's just so…so…," Charlie starting trying to explain, "You know how he can be. He's an ass. Just looking at him makes me want to hurt him."
"So he didn't actually do anything?" Peyton asked genuinely amused by her daughter. It seemed like it was just yesterday that she was having a similar conversation with Nathan about Lucas.
"Cheddar never has to do anything but breathe." Charlie said rolling her eyes causing Peyton to chuckle in a motherly way.
"You really shouldn't let him get to you like that. He really doesn't seem that bad." Peyton said trying to reason with her daughter.
"Of course he doesn't." The teen answered rolling her eyes again. "Lucas and Haley raised him so of course he's going to be perfect around adults. Seriously I can't believe you actually think he isn't that bad." Charlie said exasperated as she picked up her books and stomped off.
She is so much like her father. Peyton thought as she watched her daughter ascend the stairs.

"It's not like you've never cancelled," Heather snapped into her cell phone as she opened the door to her house.
"Yeah well I always have good reasons."
"I'm the cheerleading captain, practice went late, I have tons of homework, and my mom hasn't been home in 2 weeks and she's in tonight. So you're just going to have to get over it.
"Whatever."
"Yeah, whatever," Heather said slamming her phone shut and throwing it across the room. "Guys suck." She said to what she thought was an empty room.
"You can say that again." Brooke said with smirk, causing Heather to jump.
"Ohmigod," Heather said placing her hand over her speeding heart.
"Hey sweetie," Brooke said as she released the hold she had on Rachel and made her way over to her daughter pulling her into a tight hug.
"You scared me half to death," the young redhead said with a smile. "But I'm so glad you're finally home," she continued as returned Brooke's hug.
Rachel smiled as she looked at the two loves of her life. "So why do guys suck? I mean besides the obvious reasons." Rachel asked as she walked the rest of the way into the living room.
"Yeah, what's wrong Red?" Brooke asked causing Heather to smile at the childhood nickname.
"He's just an ass," she said simply as she sat down on the couch, the two women taking her lead.
"Who?" Brooke asked confused.
"Logan." Rachel answered before Heather had the chance.
"Logan Scott? The same Logan that has broken up with you more than once?"
"Yeah they got back together the day after you left." Rachel explained again.
"Hello! I am still sitting here." Heather said rolling her eyes playfully.
"Sorry," Rachel replied meekly. "Anyway what'd he do?" She asked as she and Brooke looked at their daughter concerned.
"He's just being Logan a possessive inconsiderate ass. And before you say anything, I just can't not be with him. He has his sweet moments, with those eyes and that smile. Plus he always knows just what to say to make me smile." Heather explained leaning her head on the back of the couch as a dreamy smile spread across her face.
Brooke smiled at her daughter and how she herself had similar things about a Scott in high school. "Yes, those Scott blue eyes and melt the best of us. I know they did me multiple times."
"Sounds like Lucas taught him well." Rachel said rolling her eyes causing Heather and Brooke to laugh; everyone knew that Lucas wasn't one of Rachel's favorite people.
"Whatever, though, I really don't want to think about it." Heather said sitting up. "What's the plan for tonight?"
"Well I talked to Peyton earlier and if you're up for it we're having dinner with them tonight." Brooke said with a huge smile on her face.
"Charlie going to be there?"
"I would assume so," Rachel answered.
"Sounds great." Heather replied with a smirk that only the daughter of Brooke and Rachel could pull off. "Logan just loves when I hang out with his sister," she said causing both Brooke and Rachel to laugh.

Knock. Knock.
"Come in." Charlie said looking up from her Chemistry book. Nathan slowly opened the door and walked in. "Hey Dad."
"Hi. Your mother sent me up here to tell you that we're having guest for dinner." He said getting straight to the point.
"O-k. Do you know who?"
"Brooke just got back in town so I'm assuming just their family." Nathan answered with a smile.
"Alright thanks." She said then turned her attention back to her Chemistry book. Nathan nodded then left the room.
Today just got a hell of a lot better. Charlie thought with a smile.

"I'm so sorry baby," Logan said as soon as Heather picked up her phone an hour after their fight.
"You should really buy them in bulk if you're going to hand them out so often." She shot back. Brooke and Rachel shared an amused grin in the front seat as they made their way to Nathan and Peyton's.
"I really am so sorry. I'm just stressed out because of basketball and school. I realize that you're under a lot of stress, too. I just wanted to see you. I'm sorry for being such an ass." Logan said almost begging for forgiveness.
"It's ok." Heather said with a sigh. "I understand. I want to see you; too, maybe tomorrow night we can do something."
"That sounds great." He said the smile obvious in his voice. "So what are you guys doing tonight?" He asked trying to make small talk.
Heather hesitated before answering. "We're going to dinner at Peyton's," she said not wanting to mention his biological father or half sister.
"Great," he said sarcastically. "Don't sit too close to Charolette, you might catch something." He said distain dripping from the words. "I'm just kidding," he said even though he really wasn't.
"You really should be nicer to her. She isn't the devil, Logan." She said getting annoyed with him already.
"Yeah. Well you have fun. I'll talk to you tomorrow." He said then hung up quickly.
"I swear he's such a child." Heather said exasperated.
"Why does he hate her so much anyway?" Rachel asked turning to look at her daughter.
"I honestly have no clue."

"Damn it!" Logan said throwing his phone. The bang of the phone hitting the wall caught Haley's attention.
"What's wrong?" She asked as she entered his room.
"The spawn," He said his blue eyes cold as ice. "She takes everything that belongs to me."
"Oh hunny," Haley said as she sat on the bed beside him and put a sympathetic hand on his back. "You can't blame her Nathan's actions," she said trying to comfort her son. Truth be told Nathan really shouldn't be blamed either.
That so isn't what this is about. He thought as he lay back on his bed. "I know mom. Thanks."
So there's the first chapter. Let me know what you think and if I should continue.
