AU- Okay, In Episode 4 of Season 1 (Parenthood), The Gang found the little baby which they later found out his name was Seth. I SOOOOO wanted the gang to keep him so I made this fic so that they would have :) As it so happens Will is my favorite character so I decided to make him the "Dad", and also he's the one who picked up the child in the first place and he gave the kid the little bow and quiver, so I thought he would make an awesome dad. This fic is centered 8 years after Seth was found by the gang, yet of course this is all coming from the contents from my mind so Robin, Will and the gang only look about year or so older ;) P.S. They haven't met Djaq yet.

He was panting hard, he had to keep going. He was faster if he kept running the man chasing him would grow tired. There is no way he wants to go back, not yet anyway.

"Seth!" The boy heard the man call. "Come on it's almost dark, what will your father say if we stay out any longer?"

The boy caved, he didn't want his father mad so he walked back to the back to the man and grabbed his hand.

"Sorry Much." Seth said with a little smile forming on his lips.

"What are we going to do with you?" Much chuckled as they started making their way back to the Outlaws' camp.

When the camp was in sight Seth let go of Much's hand and darted towards it.

"Father!" Seth yelled.

Will turned his head around and saw his adopted son running towards him so he completely turned around and opened his arms to the boy.

Seth ran into his father's open arms and hugged him tightly.

"I was wondering when you two would be coming back. Did he behave Much?" Will asked his friend.

The only answer he received was Much falling over from exhaustion onto his bed roll, which resulted in everyone bursting into laughter.

"We played tag!" Seth told his father excitedly.

"Well that explains it." Allan said.

That statement made every laugh even harder.

"Dad?" Seth started.

"Yes?"

"Why can't I play with you or Uncle Robin?"

Will sighed.

"Seth you know that your uncle and I have work to do."

"But Much isn't all that fun."

"Well, I'll tell you what. When there is a day that Uncle Robin and I don't have work to do, I'll show you all the traps and contraptions I made. I bet Much wouldn't mind demonstrating, wouldn't you Much?"

Much mumbled something that sounded like a 'whatever'.

"I guess I'll take that as a yes." Will said smirking.

"That sounds great!" Seth said.

"Alright but now I know a boy that needs to get to bed."

"Aw, come on Dad."

"Nope, you need your sleep."

Seth stuck out his bottom lip in a pout and crossed his arms.

"Robin, help me out here." Will called.

"Seth, everyone needs their sleep, and we can't go to sleep until you do so please?" Robin asked nicely while putting on one of his signature smiles.

"Okay." Seth said, still sounding disappointed.

Will carried Seth over to where his son slept and laid him down on the bed roll.

"When I'm bigger I'm going to be one of Robin Hood's men." Seth told his father as Will tucked him in.

"I'm sure you will be."

"Goodnight Dad."

Will kissed his son's forehead.

"Goodnight Seth."

Seth rolled over so his back was to Will then fell asleep almost instantly.

Will got up and walked over to the fire where the rest of the gang was sitting and talking.

"That boy is becoming more like you every day." John said to Will.

"Now that is a troubling thought." Robin joked.

Will punched Robin playfully in the shoulder as all the other men chuckled. Then Will looked down to ground his face growing grim. John and Allan didn't even notice.

"I'm going to turn in." Allan said.

"I think I will too." John followed.

"Night lads." Robin said to his friends, and then he turned to Will.

"What's wrong Will?" Robin asked while putting a hand on Will's shoulder.

"It's…I just have this really bad feeling in the pit of my stomach that something is going to happen to Seth."

"Nothing is going to happen to him, we have five very capable fighters protecting him."

"Still, it's just a really, really, really bad feeling and I think that Seth should stay with Much from now on until the feeling passes."

"Alright, Seth will be stuck by Much's side. During the food carriage raid tomorrow I am just going to have Much and Seth go get some firewood, our stash is getting low anyway."

"Sounds like a good idea to me, Thank you Robin."

"Any time, now I think you and I should get some shut-eye. We got a big day ahead of us tomorrow."

"Alright, night Robin."

"Night."

-Next Afternoon-

"Come on Seth, we need to get just a bit more." Much said.

"Come on Much, I want to go and watch the raid."

"Not going to happen, Your Father and Robin both said you need to stay with me, and since we need more firewood that's what we're doing."

Seth scoffed.

"Now come on, we only need a few more sticks."

Seth rolled his eyes but continued on walking. Until he heard a twig snap from somewhere behind him. He stopped dead and listened to the sounds around him, very faintly he heard whispering; someone was following them.

"Seth?" Much asked.

Seth shushed him and tried to listen some more.

"Come on Seth." Seth was just about to tell him to shut up but it was too late; the men that were following them came out from their hiding places in the forest and ambushed Much and Seth.

"Grab the boy." The leader said.

Two men grabbed Seth's arms and starting taking him towards a couple horses, the other two knocked Much unconscious as he was trying to fight his way to Seth.

"Father!" Seth yelled towards the road.

"Father, Uncle Robin, Help me!" But his yelling was no use; the guards soon gagged him and tied him onto a horse.
