Author's note-

Hello everyone, I would first like to say thank you to Willful Redhead for giving much clarity to the Seven brides for seven brother T.V show.

This is my first Fanfic, so I hope you enjoy. I do want to put a warning out by saying even though I review the story over and over again grammar has never been my best subject and I am not the best at catching grammatical mistakes. So I do ask if you see anything at all that needs fixing you tell me so I can improve my story. In that note thank you for reading.


Adam finally gets to sit down after a hard day's work, and read his paper. Adam looks up from his paper when he sees Evan running through the door. "Whoa what's the hurry partner?"

Evan stops abruptly, and turns to Adam "Have you seen Ford any were?"

"He left to go fishing with old man Grady about an hour ago why?" Adam ask. Evan sat down next to Adam pouring himself juice that was on the table.

"I just wanted to tell him these boys that always pick on us for being orphans are in a lot of trouble for setting up hunting traps in no hunting zones." Evan smile to himself.

"If you two were being bullied why didn't y'all say something? Adam frowns at Evan.

Evan just shrugs and answers "they weren't bullying me too much, mainly Ford. Mostly because they know Ford won't fight back. Plus the reason I didn't tell you is because Ford ask me not to, you know Ford he never wants to be trouble for anyone."

"Well it sounds like they are a bunch of pole cats that had it coming," Adam gruffs. Out of all his brothers Adam could never figure out why someone would pick on Ford. He first heard his brothers were getting bully when the older ones would be sent home from school for fighting. Even Guthrie was called into the office for a bad reaction for mean comments about his parents. Ford however has never gotten detention let alone being called into the office for being in trouble.

It was completely beyond on Adam why anyone would make fun of his younger brothers for the loss of his parents. He always figure it was to get arise out of them and make them want to fight. That was until they started bullying Ford.

Evan then breaks Adam train of thought, "All I know is if I ever see the Peterson brothers picking on Ford again I won't hesitate to fight them."

Adam smiles to himself about how protective hot-head Evan is over his brother. "Yeah I know you won't Evan, but you will be deal with pissed off Ford."

Ford may be gentle and shy, but on the rare occasion when he is mad at one of his brothers it was the worst. Ford never yells back so when his frustrated or angry at his siblings he gives them the silent treatment. For the McFadden clan flared tempers, and loud voices were normal when it came to an argument. They boys didn't know how to handle someone expressing their angrier any other way. For Adam and Brian it was no surprise that how Ford would handle his angrier considering how every time someone did get into one the famous McFadden fight, he go to his room or isolate himself in the hay loft.

"What are you two rambling about?" Brain say as he comes through the doorway smiling at his brothers. "Awe we were just talking about another case of bullying the orphan boys," Adam answers.

Brian immediately rolls his eyes "So was it you this time Evan?"

Evan looks up at Brian and replies "Yes and no, yeah I mean they called me orphan boy, but they only started picking on me after I stuck for Ford." Both brothers kept a steady stare on Brian, who was turning redder than a bull.

"Who are they?" Brian said trying to hold back his angrier. "The Peterson brothers, and before you do anything stupid remember how Ford feel about confrontation. Plus the brothers are in a heap of trouble with the law." Adam explains. He notices Brian calm down bit because he knows just like his other brothers they wouldn't hesitate to beat somebody up who is half their age if they were hurting their brother.

"Karma's a bitch." Brian smile as he just sat down relaxing a kitchen chair. "Ain't that the truth, I just got done telling Adam how if they do mess with Ford again I'm fighting them." Evan smiles to Brian. Brian just stares at his little brother and starts laughing.

"Yeah I will be right beside you little brother!" Brain agrees.

Adam shakes head laughing so himself at his two brothers. "Yeah then you'll have to deal with Ford." Adam says. He gets up when he hears the phone ringing, and continues to laughs when Evan replies.

"Awe Ford couldn't stay mad if he wanted to."

"Hello McFadden residence." Adam starts to frown.

"No Ford left to meet you about an hour ago." Brian and Evan attention turns right to the phone.

"Maybe he got lost the boy always trips up direction or maybe decided to go into the town," Adam said mainly trying to calm himself down.

"Okay well three of my younger brothers are in town when they get home I'll ask if they see anything." Adam reassures.

"Hey Mr. Grady please if you see Ford tell him to call home, Thank you well let know when he gets home. Alright Bye."

Adam put the phone back of the ringer, and look up his two brothers. Both brothers were silent staring wide eye at Adam waiting for explanation about their little brother. "Apparently Ford never showed up at Old man Grady's house," Adam explains.

"So are we gonna go look for him?" Evan ask literally sitting at the edge of his seat.

Adam sighed and walk over to his little brother putting a hand on his shoulder. "Look Evan he may have just got caught up and decide to make a quick stop in the town. We will ask Crane, Daniel, and Guthrie if they see anything, if they haven't and we haven't heard anything from him by then, we will send out a search party I promise."

"Okay." Was all Evan could muster. Ford was his best friend so gentle and shy, and now he is missing. Inside Evan is praying Adam is right and his little brother will be alright.

About an hour later Crane, Daniel, Guthrie came through the door. Crane walk into the kitchen first where the other three brothers were still seated in same spots since they got the phone call about Ford's disappearance.

"Where's Ford?" Crane ask. Adam look up at him with serious eyes, "We were hoping you could tell us." Adam said dully.

Their heads all turn when Guthrie and Daniel come bustling through the door laughing and stop when they notice the entire blank look on the brothers faces.

"What wrong?" Daniel ask. Turn his head back and forth to Crane and Adam.

"Ford is missing." Adam choked.

"Missing what do you mean missing?" Guthrie said in a scared tone.

"Guthrie come here." Brian said wanting to offer him some comfort.

"No I want Ford." Guthrie said as calmly as possible as the tear were forming in his eyes.

"Guthrie," Crane try to soothe by putting an arm around him, but Guthrie knocks it off.

"No I want Ford!" Guthrie yells bawling his eyes out at this point. All their heart breaks as they see their youngest crying for their second youngest.

Adam gets up from his chair and walks over to Guthrie. He goes down to Guthrie eye level and puts two hands on Guthrie's shoulder making him pay attention.

"Listen Guthrie I promise you we will find Ford. I will do everything in my power to bring him back to us. What I want you to do…" Adam stops and turns to where he is facing all his brothers "What I want all of us to do is pray that he's okay, and pray to help us find him," Adam commands trying to hold back the tears.

"Does that mean were starting a search party?" Brian ask.

"Yeah just us for now, and if it gets to serious well involve the rest of the town," Adam says.

"What about Hannah?" Evan ask not looking at Adam, but the floor blankly.

'Shit' Adam thought to himself he forgot all about Hannah`, who was away for two weeks visiting some friends who just had a baby.

"We will call her if we have to involve the town, or if she calls before that." Adam did want to lie to Hannah about this, but he knew she would be piss if she found out any other way.

"Okay so what is the plan?" Crane ask Adam calmly.

"Daniel, Evan, and I in one group and Crane and Brian in the other," Adam order.

"Hey what about me," Guthrie yelled.

"I need you to stay here Guth. In case he calls, or somebody calls about him. If Hannah calls tell her the truth. I need you here and if anything at all happens I let you know I promise," Adam explains. Guthrie just nods his heads and begins to cry again.

"Don't worry Guthrie we will find our mustang." Adam hugs Guthrie close and both sob. Finally they both break away the rest of the brothers just stood their speechless.

Adam wipes away the tears from his eyes and stands up facing the rest of the brothers.

"Let's go find our brother."
