If. It is an Aaron-centric romance, though it has quite a bit of the rest of the Seattle crew also. That games over. He shot Jason a slightly out of focus glare. Here Come the Brides: Created by N. Richard Nash. Not scared. What is it you want from me? he moaned. The bold logger could outtalk the very devil. Collapse ): link: post comment As the uproar created by General Ashlands announcement died down, Jason scanned the crowd for Aaron. Im just not used to feeling so, And thats a scary feeling for a man like you.. And he still wasnt sure which fork he should take down this road. But how is it fair to save my family shame at the expense of this boy? If it werent for business, I wouldnt wanna talk to any Bolts. This is my second quiz about the TV show, "Here Come The Brides", that aired from 1968-70. After handing out the full glasses, Josh settled himself in a chair on the other side of Aaron. Or a boy for Jon to teach the ways of the forest? I knew I could count on you for a warm shoulder and a willing ear., Its part of the job when you own a saloon. She cracked her dishtowel in his direction. Is this my punishment for daring to love a man not of my people? That the man had even had a life before Seattle never crossed Joshs mind. No accidents, fights or major faux-pas marred their presentation. Here Come the Brides - Full Cast & Crew 1968 -2022 2 Seasons ABC Comedy TVG Watchlist Where to Watch The Bolts, logging-camp operators, bring 100 potential brides to Seattle so the loggers. Or even what her name was., You know, neither do I. Lottie leaned back thoughtfully. Wearing one of his big-city suits, Stempel might be freshly shaved and neatly groomed but he didnt look much improved over the way he had right after the beating. Hed deliberately stayed in camp, taking an inventory of supplies, knowing that with his level of concentration hed be a danger to himself and others out on the slopes. Jeremy couldnt suppress his chuckle. Two dozen years and I dont know what I know. And will Aaron be able to prove his suspicions about the girl's father to prevent his wife from becoming the man's victim? Ill live my life the way I decide. The bride and groom had sneaked out more than an hour ago. But to see my son, oh Lord. This girl could barely write her own name. Insulting his mother because she was Indian boiled Jeremys blood. Across the aisle and a row back Aaron sat. And the reason theyd set on Stempel raised the gorge in the back of his throat. What schools would she have gone to? Good story! Theres a mail-order bride. Lay off, Red. But you told him about your mother, Jason guessed. Will the revelations from an old journal tear the town of Seattle apart? Together they remembered when theyd salted Candys grandfathers mine to help fulfill what they thought were a dying mans dreams. You knew that my father was your father. Oh, Candy patted at the tears beginning to drip down her cheeks. Jason changed course to follow him. Nothing! I think you need to calm down a touch.. ! Josh gasped. Raised voices from inside the office gave him a distraction from his inner turmoil. Should I have left him with the Bolt clan? Aaron tucked his chin and grinned. He picked self-consciously at the bark beneath his hand. The need to give vent to his rage sent him storming across the room. No one here speaks my tongue or knows the rites of my people. Nothing was too big for a Bolt to tackle. Work Text: The water lapped gently against the ship as it pulled to the dock. He started across the floor, urgency speeding his feet. A man like Stempel could never have Bolt blood in his veins. If Jon had nae told yea, I dinna see it as my place to inform yea. Jeremy snagged his jacket and headed for the door. Jason sighed at their open, vulnerable expressions. Nothing is going to stop us from being married, she affirmed. I wanted toI dont know. So Im ready to listen to anything you have to say., His love for this woman swelled in his heart until he didnt think he could contain it. And in a few more minutes shell be my wife. Waves sloshed against the pilings beneath them in an elemental rhythm. He hadnt spoken to either of his brothers about what he was feeling. If he could stay on his feet he could possibly inflict enough damage to make the men tire of their game. And you - the most innocent of us all - were the one to suffer the most from it., Nae, I can see that, lad. Duncan settled comfortably in the chair. Why, thank you, Aaron. I have just started posting a second story called Choices. Ill never forget the day we got your letter, telling us what had happened. Father may have left us the mountain but we built the logging business ourselves, Josh tried to defend. Indeed, the job provides a good income for the workers and the region, and a decent life for the brothers. Would it be better to let it rest with their father? Now he appreciated that Aaron could have been the only one to delivered seasoned wood that quickly. Vaguely aware of the Bolts protests, Aaron opened his eyes to meet Thompsons triumphant gaze squarely. Joshua is at the apothecarys, trying to attract that new lass attention. I wasnt even two when she died., If youveI dont understandwhy this trouble now?. However, he decides to take a different advantage of the situation. You cant change how people believe and feel overnight., But I need to do something, his voice rose. I am not sure how to start. If he really doubted me, maybe I could understand. Rising to his feet, Aaron kept talking over Jasons increasing volume. Sending a regretful glance at Aarons hunched shoulders, he headed for the door. Jason?.

A week of arguing, cajoling and threatening had gained Jason nothing. Twisting his head, he gave Lottie a what have you been up to look. Hed had plenty of chances after Mrs. Bolt died to accept the consequences of past mistakes, but hed done nothing. Shed said it was because calling her Mother was disrespectful to his real mother, but Aaron had known the truth. The revealing stance lasted only a moment. So happy, sometimes I think Ill burst with it. Laughing aloud, he vaulted over the railing. Your fathers child?, Jeremy tensed. Were getting married a week from Saturday. Lottie He let his words die. Bound in well-kept deerskin, the book was obviously old and well read. How old am I? The questions slipped out against his will. Bolt. Aaron refused to look at the logger. He must have or Jason would never have given them to me to read. This story first debuted in the zine 'Dreams to Last the Years' from the show 'Here Come The Brides'. If she was still alive. You knew! Can I get you something to help wake up? Now at twenty-six, his fathers human struggles were being forcibly illustrated. He knew all the words; they were written in his heart. For a second he thought of ignoring the eldest of the Bolt clan, of hiding in the dimness, but he realized it was too late. Scared?, Considering, Jeremys grin widened. You should read it, Uncle. Listening to the exchange between his two older brothers, Josh could stand being a bystander no more. He answered firmly, Absolutely not., I vote no, too. Half brother to the Bolts? Oh, its not for you, Biddie tittered. I have a sister whos not and three brothers who would just as soon see me dead. Then it seemed to grow a life of its own. Some glances held more than curiosity. Whoever itd been, Jason had known about her. George Stempel guessed I was three but he didnt really know., Brow furrowed, Duncan stroked his beard thoughtfully. So am I. Could pieces of his personality be traced to one side or the other, like the color of his eyes or the curl in his hair? What did he do wrong? Leaning back in his chair, Jason watched as the party slowly wound down. All the times Jason had claimed victory in their battles, hed never seen Aaron appear this dejected before. The confession of what theyd done had been one of the most awful moments of Jeremys life. Aaron stomped into his house, slamming the door so hard behind him the walls rattled. Grounding the ax in the stump, he pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his face. On his own for years by then, Aaron had shaped his own life. Oh, Jason, the blond brother joined into the laughter as he began to understand. After making sure Jeremy had Thompson started on his journey, Joshua headed back to the mill office. Think thats really true? This woman meant nothing to him. I guess that doesnt count. Oh, yes, weve been talking about it, all of us girls. And we just could nae let that happen.. Mornin, Jason greeted as he came out of his room. Or do you think I should owe you for your little act of charity just now?, It's no handout or charity. "Colonel Thompson, this is the mill we worked with since we started as a company., Maybe you need to look beyond old loyalties and start making decision on sound business practices., Sound business practices are exactly the reason weve stayed with this mill, Joshua rolled his eyes in Aarons direction. He considered who it could be. He told the truth in his journal, but he told Stempel he couldnt be his father. Abruptly Jeremy slammed his hand down on the log, making Candy jump. But I cannot in good conscience include this mill in the deal. Jason found he didnt much care how insulted the man felt. Never! Colonel Thompson swept Lottie out onto the dance floor just as Jason got within earshot. Unfortunately, Jeremy ended up at the bottom of the pile, grunting as an elbow dug into his ribs. The journal crashed into the far wall, perilously close to the fireplace. Thank you for the story. Of all of Stempels devious plots and condescending attitudes, his heritage was the one thing Josh couldnt hold against him. Jonathan Bolt had chosen not to acknowledge him as a son and that could never change. He loved her, Josh offered. Did Bolt delight in discounting him the way he did the Bolt sons? He hoped they had the good sense to stay away from Aaron tonight. What if he was offended? If you read morehe regretted what he said to you.. Hurry back.. I was delivered into the hands of a woman who hated me before I was old enough to fight back., My family has committed a grave injustice against you, Mr. Stempel.. Who he was didnt change just because he now knew how old he really was. Could Aaron really be my brother? Should I have told them?, It is too late to ask that question, is it nae, lad? Duncan laughed humorlessly. Practically shouted it in the middle of the camp. Ive never been able to get a Bolt to shut up yet, Aaron retorted. My mill has a third more capacity than his and you know it. Four firm knocks reverberated at his door. I took Jason with me today when I went to negotiate a contract with the boys mill. It couldnt be true. He wasnt sure he should now but the warmth of the liquor flowing through him loosened his tongue. Work Search: He wondered what kind of scene he would find there. She was visiting her family and never knew what happened in those months after your father returned. Perhaps its better if I stay out of their lives. Jason heard a muffled squeak of laughter behind him. Yes, Amos Thompson. And somehow you got Wainwright to pay off on our contract. Immediately after their fathers death, Joe Wainwright tried to renege on his contract, saying the contract hed signed had been with Jonathan Bolt, not Jason or any other Bolt. Maybe those times hadnt so courageous when losing his life had never really mattered that much to him. Oh, I do love his eyes. Thanks, but I think this is something I have to work out for myself. He let Jason reel him in for a quick hug and whack on the back. Kerry Weaver walked into the ER with a huge smile on her face. She clamped a hand over Biddies mouth. Unsure who he was damning, he vented his rage on the possessions around him. Sophie - best woman. Abandoning his quest for the moment, Aaron strode across the room to the new arrival. The family includes all four brothers, Jason replied, looking for all the world as if this was an everyday occurrence. He could only speak from the heart, as he always had. I need to see that you want this as much as I do. He rubbed his burning eyes. My son. The only time he said a word to me was about business. Hed done just fine as Aaron Stempel and thats who he would stay. Of course, he could just leave the box on the table with all the other wedding gifts. At Joshs present age, Stempel had had his own growing business and had built the biggest house in Seattle. Im not a monster, Jason. And hes never made any effort to be friendly with them. Women loved a man in a uniform, Jason grinned to himself. I shared "Family Duty" with other HCTB "girls in the dormitory." I dont need to know. I confess that when I scanned the first chapter of "Family Duty," I moaned, "Oh, no! You just couldnt resist rubbing my face in it, could you?. Itll be just a few more minutes., Jeremy pushed him toward the door. Jason sat in a quiet corner of Lotties watching the bubbles ascend in his beer. Tilting his head, Aaron acknowledged Thompson with a nod that more closely resembled a challenge to a duel than a greeting. And why did he want Jason to drop the subject now? It broke mine. He flipped to the last page with writing. Its tradition.. A third fork was open to him now. Lets get you and my little brother married.. Hed used hate before to drive him to higher achievement. What plans did Jason have? Now that youve read his journal, you must know how much he regretted losing you and your mother in Scotland. This went directly against the image of the man hed grown up idolizing. How are you doing this morning?, Confused, Jeremy confessed. In his grief we convinced him to fulfill his responsibility by marrying your mother. But it had happened. The determined expression made him appear to Aaron suddenly more adult, a man to be reckoned with. Perfect for Jasons present state of mind. He stalked off to join the rest of the crew. His eyebrows furrowed as he listened. Evening, Aaron, he shouted as he approached the man. And he caught you with a trick, didnt he? Jasons gaze trapped him, seeing far more than Josh wanted him to see. The description of their rivalry as a game to Jason, is spot on. Its all okay cause he didnt do anything illegal? Curiosity tinged glances passed over him as people helped themselves to the refreshments. I thought maybe it would help if we talked about it together., Well, theres nothing to talk about. Josh clenched his hands around the shaft of the ax to stop their shaking. Time to go home.. But when I suggested he might be my sire, he spat in my face, even though he knew it was so. He slouched down in his favorite leather chair. The journal was in his hands again before he knew he intended to pick it up. Oh, no, we cant have that, all the other men agreed. Rolling his head from side to side, Joshua tried to release the tension in his shoulders. Stepping closer, Jason bent to get a better look at this gift. If he were a more violent man, he would have smacked the man cross-eyed. But because he loved the struggle so much? Not appalled, he tried to explain. Yes. Jason straightened and faced him directly. Youve never been where I have. He thought about you all the time. But Jason knew he wouldnt be able to let it go. Jeremys grown into a fine young man. Yes., Because I know when I can trust Aaron and when I cant. Joshua, Jeremy, why dont you escort the colonel back to Lotties. It was in his journal, but I remember that day too. The grin grew until it became a chuckle and the chuckle became full voiced laughter. Yet you call yourself Stempel. Thompsons features twisted into a contemptuous sneer. Aaron felt a surge of resentment at the mans apparent ease. For ten years Ive fought those sneaking Indians, now you expect me to deal with one as if hes white?, Fought Indians, my Aunt Mabel, Lottie muttered. Now his best efforts only seemed to make the situation worse. It was a genuine desire to shield his brother from any additional strain. He scampered out of the saloon, dreading his next task, but with a little lighter heart. Shes looking at me, the groom. Jasons probably hatching some scheme for tomorrow as we speak., I wouldnt want to miss it, his grin faded and he continued more seriously. Cmon then! He struggled furiously against the firm hold Jason had around his shoulders. I'm thrilled that you liked the writing if not the concept. Bluer than lumberjacks. Hardly a day goes by that I dont think of my lost son. Because Im the one who just found out. Jason Bolt intoned behind him. When Red opened his mouth to reply, Aaron lashed out. Is something . So it was all my fault and Jonathan Bolt was totally blameless? Aaron scoffed. I might not believe it myself if I hadn't written it. Why didnt he ever say anything?, Father, he Jeremy choked on his shame, a feeling he never would have associated with his father. "He had a horrible choice to make and no time in which to make it. Why dont we go over to my place? No, I cant believe that. Jeremy took it gingerly, sending a quick glance asking for reassurance toward Jason. Because you wanted to hurt him as much as hed hurt you. You wouldnt?, Oh, no, indeedy, we wouldnt dream of it., Well Aarons attempted smile more closely resembled a snarl. Hes got more hair than Ive ever seen on such a little tyke and I think his eyes will be blue like the other two boys. On almost every page he turned the name Jon stood out. Then one morning he seemed to make up his mind about something. What the hell! He whirled on his assailant. I should have known hed tell everyone he knew as soon he found out. Frantically, he sought an empty space to deposit the pitcher. He tried to order his thoughts but how could he, when he felt like his feet no longer touched the ground. Fine. He sighed, not having the strength to continue the battle. Mr. Could he do this? Damn! You know, therere plenty of men around here you could hire to do that. Perhaps if hed been older when his father died, he wouldnt be having this difficulty. For two days, he fought the battle within himself. What dont you know how to do, Aaron? Theyd truly bested him this time. Great! You captured the characters really well. And he was not a man who took being thwarted well.. His brother. Im so alive, I think Ill burst with it.. When youre ready to talk, Ill be there., Cmon, sweetheart, Lottie tugged on Aarons arm. Just say it., This wont affect our wedding, will it?, No! he stated emphatically. But will painful secrets from Jemma's childhood and one woman's determination to exact revenge find Aaron and Jemma suffering disaster; or can Jason and Aaron stop one woman's twisted logic before something precious is lost? Well, I once told Aaron I wouldnt sell him controlling interest in one pine cone off our mountain. Jason tried to explain, now fighting off his own giggles. Oh, Miri, are you as proud of this young man we made together as I am at this moment? That he was my father., Jason closed his eyes against Aarons expression. Oh, thered been lots of times hed badly wanted to plant his fist in the middle of the mans smirking grin. He read it again, then a third time, trying to deny what his eyes saw. Abruptly, he collapsed back, the hand still holding the diary covering his face. They tussled in the mud, each trying to gain an advantage. Each of them took a long swallow of the fruity punch which had been laced with some of Lotties finest whiskey. I mean about you and Jonathan., Why dont you ask Bolt? Ive faced far worse than you. If I dont read that diary, I wont have to believe it. And if he went into the house as mad as he was, he wouldnt have a stick of furniture left undamaged. With a elaborately innocent smile, Lottie replied, Well, this is a saloon, you know. I think I will., Leaving the door open for proprietys sake, he followed her to the table. Could this possibly be about the contract? Days hed thought hed go insane from boredom. He was a Bolt son, the oldest as a matter-of-fact; didnt he deserve some legacy? Aaron rested his chin on the forearms crossed over the back of his chair. Let's Forget the Past - HERE COMES THE BRIDES - Wattpad by LolaLove0 YOU ARE READING Let's Forget the Past Fanfiction Queen Bee Alison moved from Riverdale making her the new girl in Rosewood, but will her secrets follow her? I find the mill in Everett to be much better organized and prepared to handle a contract of this quantity., A bitter chuckle escaped Aaron. Im just sure Ill spill it all over the table. Jeremys entire awareness centered on Candy when she entered the church. It would do him no good to deny it. Or was he just Aaron? I see my information was sadly mistaken., More civilized than youve acted, sir. Jason took a step closer, using his superior height to his advantage. What little hed learned from Aaron had only served to confuse him further. Jason continued as if Josh hadnt spoken, It must be very precious to him, yet he trusted me with it. All right, everyone, Jason windmilled his arms at the crowd. How long before he began losing contracts and opportunities? So he made this himself. It was all Jasons fault in the first place. He didnt bother to pretend he didnt know what she was talking about. Mustache snagged his coat sleeve. Would Stempels shadow obscure him completely from view? What difference did a birthday make? Hope it finds some interested readers here. But neither of us has ever hated the other., A game? With much shouting and bumping, the crowd carried the newlywed couple to the party waiting to happen. Because Im the one who just found out., Im sorry, Aaron. Jason shuffled his feet and twisted the books in his hands. Aaron carefully scraped the razor down the line of his jaw. This is just soincredible. How dare he be proud of me! And what difference could it truly make? Now be off with ye!. And I care about the Bolt brothers. Shocked. Shes so beautiful. So this journal will have to serve as my confessor. Jasons sympathy went out to Aaron although a part of him was vastly amused at bemusing the man. And Aaron Stempel? But Ive had to admit to things I was ashamed about before. He looked up into her sad eyes. And who was he trying to prove himself to? And hated himself for the weakness. He could turn the other way and remove all the stops in his battle with the Bolts. Of course, he hadnt been paying much attention to anything but one slim volume of a young womans life. No, I dont think she would, Jeremy returned his laughter, then his expression turned serious. You dont want to claim me as a brother., It doesnt really matter if I want to or not. Taking the journal from the table, Jason took a step closer. Candy continued in a tiny voice, isnt it? Ive never meant to hurt you, Aaron. Aaron snorted but Jason ignored him. You were but a wee bairn. Hooking his ankle on the porch rail, Duncan leaned the chair back against the wall. Wedding present.. And scared things run or fight. Can Aaron put aside his differences with the Bolt brothers to save the woman he loves and can the Bolt brothers put aside the years of built-up animosity they harbor against Aaron for the sake of their sister's life? And bring some more of the good punch.. Its pretty obvious he doesnt want to talk to us, though., I guess I can understand that. Jeremy chewed the inside of his cheek. He also liked to spend those few hours of leisure he allowed himself engrossed in one of the many volumes of classic literature he kept in his study. Bolt. The millowner looked pleased with himself, as well as more than a little drunk. Standing, the colonel straightened his uniform, emphasizing the gunbelt strapped around his waist. She never made it back to her tribe.. Other men needed the assistance of family. Raising his head, he looked directly into Aarons eyes. Now enough of this worrying. Not that it matters what I say - but go ahead and take his offer. How many times as a child had he sustained himself with the love apparent in his mothers diary and the idea that somewhere there was a father who would love him if only he could find that father? The reverend cleared his throat with a slight blush. Ever since the party began, Aaron had been acting most peculiar. His father had never even looked at a woman other than his mother. But I feel I must. Ask Lyle, then, why dont you. ***. There was even a hint that it was a good thing his mother had died - so he could be raised as a good Christian instead of a heathen Indian. Sharing their determination, they both gave sharp nods, then followed Stempel into the church. Miri loved Father very much. Oh, no, he moaned to himself. Sleep had been a long time coming the previous night, even with the help of a healthy draught of brandy. You know, if you keep this full, youll be tripping over the drunks before the night is over., Jason, she tittered. Dont know if we impressed the colonel, though. Offering his hand, he helped Lottie to her feet. Jason treated him as an equal, always had. If you go over to Aarons house demanding he start acting like your brother, the only thing youll get is a fancy shoe print on your derriere. Right here. Josh held out the object in question then carefully tucked it back into his inside jacket pocket. Shreds. She gave him a teasing pat on the cheek. You captured the essence of each character, and the story is well written. Josh and Jason also wore new suits, crisp white shirts and meticulously knotted ties. I should have known. It would only upset them. What would stop him from telling Jason the truth? Looks like what you want to say will take more than a minute.. Joshua hurled the first thing his hand contacted across his small bedroom. I just want it to be perfect., Bracketing his brothers shoulders with his big hands, Jason smiled into Jeremys eyes. Faith let go of my barely held hand. If he wasnt very careful he could end up walking off a damned cliff. Im offering you a simple invitation to dinner. That Stempels part injun?, Didnt sound like they was making it up. You heard the results of the vote. Oh, Jeremy, she giggled. Thats right, Colonel, I am. He didnt care what that man thought. Im gonna go see Candy.. Jason snagged Lottie as soon as the church service ended. The clop of horses hooves caused him to slide off the path to the edge of the woods. But hed never been able to cross the line. His father had denied him. He would just have to wait until the right opportunity presented itself. The rigid lines of his shoulders relaxed and he quirked a smile. Rather formal for a new brother-in-law. This couldnt be his father. He wouldnt be swayed by any mans opinion of him. Leaning back against the wall of his house, Aaron drew hard on his expensive cigar. Standing just inside the doorway, he beamed at the crowd. Jason, there will never be room for that half-breed bastard at my table. No amount of Jasons considerable powers of persuasion could make him feel any different. Aaron turned enough so their momentum crashed them into the wall instead of the ground. We will not tolerate that kind of prejudice here., Prejudice? Thompson sputtered. Joshua erupted from his chair. What game are you playing now, Bolt? I didnt say I didnt want to. What kind of surprises does Kerry and Carter's wedding hold for them. If that had been Bolts plan, hed won. Unconsciously, he began rocking, a moan rattling in his throat. I loved the addition of the family dynamic to the Bolt/Stempel conflict. A little, he admitted. A more beautiful sight Ill never see. George Stempel was never a shining example of a father. It hurt to think his father had loved another woman enough to consider leaving his mother, even if they were not yet married. His work has appeared in Okay Donkey, Milk Candy Review, Little Fiction, Bad Pony and elsewhere. He didnt want to feel. But what do you care, Red?, It burns me. As a child, Joshua had idolized his father. What do you say, Aaron?. Was it both or neither? Jason snickered as a flush rose up the colonels face. You will treat with Aaron Stempel with the dignity every human being deserves and the respect hes earned. Candy's little brother and sister arrive in Seattle, but that's not the only excitement; Jeremy's ready to propose. Bolt, about your mountain, Both of the Bolt brothers froze in place. Imagine that, instead of three Bolt siblings, there are four Bolt siblings and the youngest isn't Jeremy, but there sister, Jemma Bolt. Just as he exited, he spotted Candy daintily making her way across the street, Lottie and Biddie holding up her skirts to keep them out of the mud. But he publicly gave me his name even though I was no blood of his. Hesitantly, Jason accepted it.
