What would give you that idea, Lottie? Jason tried to grin. Joshua suddenly understood what Jeremy had meant when he said that Stempel might not be the man he was if their father hadnt denied him. I read her words and I want them to be together. The father hed known would never consider such a thing. Scattered around the room were a half-dozen loggers and mill-workers. Was it both or neither? I've been requesting Here Come the Brides fic since the year yuletide began, and I swear, Mystery Authorit's like you were reading my mind about what I was hoping to get as a gift.. Here Come the Brides In 1865 near Seattle, brothers Jason, Joshua and Jeremy Bolt run a successful logging company on nearby Bridal Veil Mountain, the business and property their parents left them when they died. Well, if Id known you were throwing a party for me, I would have come sooner, the big man in an army officers uniform exclaimed. And I know you need to talk about this. Itll all work out for the best, Aaron, youll see.. S1, Ep12 1 Jan. 1969 After a Dream, Comes Mourning 7.8 (34) Rate Biddy and Clancy talk about the first days of the brides arriving in Seattle. Well, conceptual artist Marcel Duchamps bride The Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors, Even is a mechanical piece, a series of forms. Could Aaron really be my brother? There are a lot of changes that take place for the Bolt/Stempel family, will they be able to handle them? Josh realized with a shock that they were drawing a crowd. I don't think so.". That maybe your nickname wasnt from the color of your hair?, George failed to see the fury on Reds reaction. Hes just very shy. Lottie led him into her private dining room. He knew bird-dogging Aaron all night would only stoke the mans ire, but he couldnt dismiss the feeling that Aarons fuse was burning and the explosion would happen tonight. Find him on Twitter at @pdforan. Oh, its thatits just sooh, thank you, MrAaron.. Do nae misunderstand. Im not. Jeremy raised his hands in peace, but stood his ground. For Love Chapter 1, a here come the brides fanfic | FanFiction JASON Kissing a woman was as intoxicating as savoring a shot of good whiskey, especially a willing woman like Hannah Baird. He hadnt thought about what Stempel might have been feeling all these years. It seems Mr. Bolt here sent a series of telegrams to my office. Oh, yes, indeedy, Biddie gushed. All heads turned to the dark figure half-hidden in the shadows of the doorway. Why had he said nothing in all the years as they worked their way to a fragile friendship? Josh shrugged, not taking his eyes off the axhead. Not him. Or that his father had made that momentous of a mistake. Passages flashed by his eyes, passages about Bolts journey to America with his new wife. I waited to eat with you., Thank you, Uncle, Jason grinned as he ladled out the stew. And you might be?, Jason took the generals hand in a hearty handshake, his expression as bewildered as Aaron felt. Hed done just fine as Aaron Stempel and thats who he would stay. Nothing was too big for a Bolt to tackle. I HATE this evil POS app! To his great surprise, Jason gave him a slight nod of acknowledgment then leaned silently on the wall beside him. Hed hoped Jason would volunteer the information he needed, but it looked like his brother was going to force him to ask. The lessons about honesty and fair-play their father taught simply by his own actions Stempel had never seen. A quick left lacked the power to drop Shorty but it backed him off enough to allow Aaron to maneuver away. Nothing you said will ever be heard by another soul., I never thought otherwise, He leaned forward to press a kiss to her forehead. The day had gone surprisingly well, despite the lack of preparation. If we accept the contract, we have to agree to cut Aaron out of the deal? By tradition the gift was given by one of the grooms family. George Stempel guessed I was three but he didnt really know., Brow furrowed, Duncan stroked his beard thoughtfully. As Bolt disappeared into the gloom, Aaron clutched his knees to his chest and rested his head on them. Josh sucked in a breath as Jason hit a nerve. Youre the ones who agreed to bet the mountain and you all agreed to the rules.. I never intended to shout it from the rooftops., Maybe he thought he couldnt take that chance with my mothers life, Jason shrugged helplessly. You have your mothers defiance. For the child growing in my belly. A cool spring breeze ruffled the papers on his desk but did nothing to relieve the oppression. Yeah, I was. Bouncing a pebble in his hand, Jeremy squinted at Josh out of the corner of his eye. When Julie was visiting, Jason had heard him say nothing about his mother, not even an inquiry about her health. 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? I dont know how Ill go about bringing them together.. He even searched for you., Then why? Aaron whirled, his voice breaking in anguish. Well, maybe not forget but it would become less and less important as the days passed. Today, reading was the last thing he wanted to do. Jon says he should have his own name, a strong name. A Different Horizon Part One November 1871 by Helene (This story first appeared in the gen HCTB anthology zine, Dreams to Last the Years, which I published in February 2004. Stay out of this, Bolt. Billy drove a knee in Jeremys already bruised ribs. Fear and rage roared through Aarons veins. The vehemence of place. I couldnt stand it if anything went wrong today., Nothing will go wrong, Jason promised with his whole heart. I know. No. But what about me? Aaron let out his breath, feeling as staggered as Thompson looked. He is so young, yet he knows something is terribly wrong. Hed never backed down from anything because of fear. Not a whimper when three guys are beating on them but let a woman try to clean them up and they start to fuss. My saloon is no place for sad faces.. Rising to his feet, Aaron kept talking over Jasons increasing volume. Like a stick of dynamite had exploded unexpectedly in their midst. linh Sophie best woman linh. Thank you for the story. I let Jason do most of the talking today. Do I know him?, Yeah, I think you do. He could barely bring himself to say the name. Before they could even get halfway to the door, two groups of men converged on them. Two taps on the door and Reverend Adams poked his head inside. With obvious effort, Aaron relaxed his stance and turned his back. He squirmed under Jasons intense blue eyes. With a vague nod, Josh shuffled off toward the office tent. Relax and enjoy it., Jeremy pulled him into an embrace. He sank down in his chair with a groan. The strategy had seen him though more than one encounter like this in his youth. Joshua kicked at the ground, his fair skin bright, though Jeremy couldnt tell if anger or shame caused the flush. She died because of him! I remember the show, but just barely. Acts like I should be grateful to be called a Bolt! And how could he live with those emotions toward his own brother? General?, General Ashland, the man extended his hand. Get that long look off your face. Mornin, he returned, scanning the room. She took a long and careful appraisal of him. He loved her, Josh offered. The reverend cleared his throat with a slight blush. And now thanks to your family, Im gonna have to start fighting them again., Has your life been so dreadful, lad, that you must strike out at those around you? Colonel Thompson, he cleared his throat so he could speak through his anger. Oh, my goodness., He nodded, worrying his lower lip between his teeth. He glanced into the mirror again. Jason continued as if Josh hadnt spoken, It must be very precious to him, yet he trusted me with it. Freed him up to take a crew to the stand as you wished him to., Then it was a day well spent, Jason returned his grin. Im not trying to hurt you now. This girl could barely write her own name. How can I be calm? he appealed, but he took a gulp of the whiskey-laced coffee. He rose, more nervous than hed been in an eternity. 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.. Trying to locate him, Jason glanced back into Lotties. Each for reasons Jason couldnt really fathom, Aaron and Joshua were dead-set against fetching Aaron into the Bolt fold. Theyd been deeply in love; he was sure of it. Aaron rested his chin on the forearms crossed over the back of his chair. Accept that someone cares about you?, Be part of a family, Aaron muttered. It was loosely based on Asa Mercer's efforts in the 1860s to import marriageable women (the Mercer Girls) from the East Coast cities of the United States to Seattle, where there was a shortage. You have my word., I hope so, she whispered. Or even what her name was., You know, neither do I. Lottie leaned back thoughtfully. But Josh only grew further apart from his brothers and Aarondamn Aaron refused to even speak to him. How old am I? The questions slipped out against his will. I love to watch the smile on Jons face when he feels you move. Occasion seems to call for some fortification, he smiled wearily. I wanted to send out this "New and improved" version. The two men were close to the same age and size. Jeremy and Candy drifted closer, but Joshua remained leaning against the wall as if he watched a particularly interesting play. Then theres sweet, cute Jeremy, the one everyone wants to mother. Why cant you accept Father cared about you as a son and be a part of our family?. He stalked off to join the rest of the crew. Should he turn to his left and his house or continue up the path to Lotties? All three Bolts were crammed into the tiny back room of the church and the wedding was only minutes away. I learned my lesson last time I was here. Hed thought hed worked his way past this feeling. Will it be able find its way home? Keep your hands off me, Bolt. 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. An abstraction. Damned coward. Both for itself and the tradition in which it was given.. Here he was the boss. Bobby Sherman was part of the cast of "Here Come the Brides," a TV show which aired from 1968 - 1970. Our strong, beautiful son. I do., And your father a man who loved both you and your mother. Duncan ignored Aarons soft grunt. Josh felt a slight flush of superiority. Jeremy scrambled back up to his feet. Its his turn tonight and we wouldnt want to deprive him of the pleasure of cleaning all of the evenings dishes., He patted Jason on the shoulder as he crossed to the door. Rules which you bent on occasion, Jason interjected. Of course, Mr. Bolt.. He grinned. Jason didnt know where to start. There might yet come a day when hed do it. I know now and I cant make believe I dont. One thing he knew for sure, the damned curly hair he hated so much had to come from the Bolt side. And Im no drunker than you are., Aaron blinked owlishly at Jason. When I was an adolescent HCTB fan, I conceived of a story regarding Duncan and a secret marriage to a woman his father would not approve of - and a resulting Bolt cousin who had to prove his parents' marriage and his claim to Kilmaron. I would give my life to keep from causing her shame. Which leaves me where Ive always been. She has a bit of an infatuation with him, you know. Yes! Jonathan Bolt had had nothing to do with who Aaron Stempel was. The morning sun added a golden halo to her hair and gilded her fair skin. It is hard. That games over. He shot Jason a slightly out of focus glare. No! This story first debuted in the zine 'Dreams to Last the Years' from the show 'Here Come The Brides'. Cmon, Jason. Just before they reached the altar, she lifted her head and looked directly into his eyes. He staggered as the concept hit him. A short uppercut knocked Red away but Shortys punch smashed his lips against his teeth. I didnt mean to upset you, Lottie., Wiping her eyes, she gave his hand a smart slap. Both Bolts recoiled. Thanks for sharing!! Im used to sharing all my secrets with Maddie. Mustache snagged his coat sleeve. He supposed he did look a bit odd, standing there silently with a wooden box clutched against his hip. No, you dont. Besides, hed never lied about his heritage in the past and he wasnt about to begin now. Or a boy for Jon to teach the ways of the forest? Youre very upset, arent you?, Yeah, I am, but I shouldnt be taking it out on you., Youre not. Its pretty obvious he doesnt want to talk to us, though., I guess I can understand that. Jeremy chewed the inside of his cheek. Our father, Laird of Kilmarron, had decreed Jonathan would marry the Laird of Montgomerys daughter and so it would be. But, Lord, it was killing him. The show ran from 1968 to 1970 and starred Robert Brown, David Soul, and Bobby Sherman as the respective brothers. What has he ever done for us that would make you care about him? He had never understood the strange game his brother and the millowner played. Damn, why was he thinking about all this? Im sure he wants to prepare for the long trip back to his fort.. This is my second quiz about the TV show, "Here Come The Brides", that aired from 1968-70. Turning away, Aaron took a step for the door. He took a deep breath to steel himself. Its hard for me to accept they are the same - that smiling bairn and your Mr. Stempel., Youre not the only one finding this hard to accept, Jason smiled ruefully. Do you know what happened, Uncle? Jason tried to keep his voice gentle but he was near desperate to hear the whole truth. Here Come the Brides (1968-1970) Episode List Season: OR Year: 1969 S1, Ep12 1 Jan. 1969 After a Dream, Comes Mourning 7.8 (34) Rate Biddy and Clancy talk about the first days of the brides arriving in Seattle. And Uncle Duncan confirmed it., Yeah. The story had been no surprise to Stempel, Jeremy belatedly realized. But what about the inside? The mildness in Jasons voice made Josh feel even worse. Jason hoped not; he didnt want to think his father capable of that. Had Jason been trying to show him what it could be like? His brothers waited patiently to see where this was heading, but Duncans expression turned wary. Soon he was laughing so hard, tears filled his dark eyes. I dont have any answers. The diary opened again before he knew he intended to continue reading. We wont muss a hair on her head, Harve assured him. The concept of Aaron being a Bolt brother is still a concept too difficult for me to accept. I enjoyed this story and the new family dynamic from start to finish. Staring down at his shuffling feet, Josh wished he could recall the words. The only thing hes ever fought is the paper on his desk.. How do I know what to believe? He hated the hint of pleading he heard in his own voice. Hed built the mill from nothing, most of it with his own hands. More than thirty years.. Candys eyes echoed the same startled confusion. This is a wedding reception for Jeremy and Candy. Ive faced far worse than you. Why was Jason forcing this on them? Shucked down to his long-underwear bottoms, Jason stretched out on his bed. But Jason knew he wouldnt be able to let it go. Chapter 6. Thank you. Scared to go against me without your pack of coyotes.. How do you remember it, Aaron?, For six months, hed been avoiding me, Stempels voice came out tight and strained. This is an old HCTB story I wrote years ago. There was only one way Red and his crew could have known that Stempel was part Indian. Jason, Aarons soft voice called him back. Ive had enough of your fancy words, brother. He winked at Jason, Leave them for Joshua. :). A man could write whatever made him feel better about himself on a sheet of paper. It was all Jasons fault in the first place. Oh, lad., Itll break your heart. Is that why you came to Seattle? But you dont own me! He squinted, trying to imagine Aaron Stempel as a baby. Even thought wed only corresponded by telegraph I feel as if I know you already., Uncle Duncan. Jason turned his uncle toward him. I want to know how you could ever be friends with a man like him. Tried dirty tricks to steal our mountain? In the resounding echo Jason heard the lock slam home. Just close the damned thing, he told himself. Oh, so that is what is bothering you, lad., Duncans broad shoulders slumped and his head lowered. So what should I do?, Go gently, sweetheart. Most of his days were, but today had taken more energy out of him than usual. Was that the reason why Jason, despite all the battles theyd fought against each other, had befriended Stempel? Please, everyone. I had no idea Stempel helped us out after Fathers death. True courage was facing what you feared and persevering in spite of it. Let go, Bolt!, Using his own momentum, Jason spun him against the wall. But it hurt. Im sorry, Aaron, Jason started, sliding his hand from Aarons shoulder to his neck. Im prepared to offer the logging portion of the contract to your company, Mr. Bolt. Did he have that type of courage? Yes, I live about 40 miles NW of Minneapolis. Robert Brown, pop music superstar Bobby Sherman and David Soul (TV s Starsky and Hutch) star in the classic television series HERE COME THE BRIDES, a delightful comedy that combines romance and adventure in the rugged landscape of the mid-nineteenth century Pacific Northwest.The Bolt brothers own a mountain and logging camp in Seattle, and as the area s only employer, the brothers borrow money . Even more worrisome is the obsession the girl's father seems to possess where Jemma is concerned. Only patience and persistence would turn the animal into a friend. Captain Roland Clancy brings the disease via his ship to the port of Seattle, Washington Territory. So, Aaron, arent you going to congratulate the bride and groom?, Wellyes Aaron stumbled. Jason noticed them at the same time. With a sweeping arm, he cleared a wall shelf, sending its contents flying. Scared?, Considering, Jeremys grin widened. Jeremy, Candy startled when she saw him. Hey, be careful with my wife, Jeremy shouted, laughter spilling into his voice. Oh, Miri, are you as proud of this young man we made together as I am at this moment? Maybe he had a valid reason to resent us? Oh, no, Jeremy groaned. Why cant you just relax and accept that there might be a place in our family for you?, Aaron jumped up from his chair, his movements sharp and jerky. Raising his head, he looked directly into Aarons eyes. No, Joshua moaned. Lottie, Uncle Duncan has a place save for you in the front row. Since Thompsons departure, Jason had been filled with a sense of quiet waiting. Jason, Joshua and Ken dragged the rest of the combatants apart. Cmon. But I think its gone too far for that, Aaron. Now enough of this worrying. Just try to keep him out of the way when Thompsons here., Slapping his friend on the shoulder, Jason grinned. An All-Tempa-Cheer bride. It hurt to think his father had loved another woman enough to consider leaving his mother, even if they were not yet married. He answered firmly, Absolutely not., I vote no, too. I have heard tales of some very unfriendly dealings Mr. Stempel has had with the Bolt brothers., Hes also risked his life to protect the Bolt brothers. Without drinking he pressed the cool glass against his brow. The people she came from was a convenient excuse. Said he was going to the mill, though he wouldnt say why. Emotions he didnt want to identify roiled through him. The rigid lines of his shoulders relaxed and he quirked a smile. Congratulations, he whispered. His brother. Hes getting married next month to Candy. A deadly influenza outbreak is spreading from San Francisco up the US West Coast. Titillating., Im glad you find my lineage of interest., Did I hear correctly? Colonel Thompsons cold voice came from over Jasons shoulder. Thats your right and your decision. Itll be just a few more minutes., Jeremy pushed him toward the door. He f-f-fathered a child with a woman not our m-m-m-mother before Jason was born., Her hand tightened convulsively. Im not a monster, Jason. Frantically, he sought an empty space to deposit the pitcher. I know what you mean about an idea taking on a life of its own. Thats all Aaron was to the man - a past mistake best forgotten. Hed have to do the rescuing himself. Im sorry, sweetheart. She tipped his chin up so he would meet her eyes. But if Aaron was nothing else, he was a savvy businessman. He simply wasnt a good enough actor to cover what he felt. Will Josh's eyes be opened in time to prevent him from making a mistake? How could he deny it now? Jason heard a muffled squeak of laughter behind him. Now he appreciated that Aaron could have been the only one to delivered seasoned wood that quickly. He rubbed his burning eyes. The brothers shared a pleased grin but Aaron waited for the blow to fall. He considered going inside the house but he had a decent view of the town from the porch and the light breeze cooled the fire inside him. He denied it! A hint of pain showed through Aarons fury. Each tooth could be counted. But he couldnt leave it be. Aaron watched the middle Bolts slow growing grin in trepidation. To see how ludicrous it was to think Aaron Stempel could be even part Bolt. And in a few more minutes shell be my wife. They tussled in the mud, each trying to gain an advantage. Ill be along in a little while. From bitter experience, he knew what came next. He gave a reluctant snort of laughter. But a family it would be, Jason would make sure of it. Bolt, when were your brothers gonna meet us?, He felt solid warmth as Jasons shoulder pressed against his. In the corner, Joshua admired all the pretty girls with Corky and Canada. All of you.. Lottie did exactly what Jason would have done, if he could have found a place to set the damned pitcher. Feeling Jasons gaze upon him, Aaron braced erect. Enough time for a family to begin pulling apart. Mother must have been devastated, Joshua breathed. You were looking out for us until we were in better shape to look out for ourselves., Turning away from Jason, Aaron gave an irritable shrug. He hoped. This was all that Bolts fault. Why would I know why that man does anything? Josh wouldnt let himself think further than that. Joshua had always felt safe and secure in his fathers love. He felt it in his own gut as Aarons eyes widened, face losing color beneath the dark tint of his skin. Unexpectedly, he wondered if a lot of Aarons determination to win Bridal Veil had come from the knowledge hed kept concealed. But I'm trying to get back into it, even if its just posting some of my older stories, although I'm about 1/2 through a newer story though the going is slow. Have you written any more stories - and if so, will you please share them? best man. That was you, wasnt it?. ", Jason felt like screaming his frustration but forced his volume down. But I hope you will see fit to allow me to speak with you again. Whens my birthday? Hed had the experience of falling in love himself, not always wisely. Aaron paused for a moment at the fork of the path and pondered. It seems he had quite a little enterprise set up for himself. Oh, Jeremy, why would you want to do that?, And I was thinking of what itll be like to see that pretty face every morning for the rest of my life., Raising her head, she looked directly into his eyes. Or will it wander forever lost and alone? He didnt need to be Jonathan Bolts son or Jason Bolts brother. Jeremy and Candy were finally together, flushed from a lively jig around the dance floor. Oh, I do love his eyes. Lottie didnt look at all surprised when he pulled her aside. What the hell?, Peering over Aarons shoulder, Josh looked just as confused. Joshua, come over and join us. So have you.. Will anyone die? With her hair curled and piled high on her head, the color of her dress a perfect compliment to the color of her eyes and a flush of excitement on her face, Biddy approached true beauty. So happy, sometimes I think Ill burst with it. Laughing aloud, he vaulted over the railing. And a swindler., For which he apologized, Jason interrupted before Aaron could work himself into a lather with the remembrance. It is an Aaron-centric romance, though it has quite a bit of the rest of the Seattle crew also. He had hoped that reading the words of Jonathan and Miri would help them come to terms with themselves and their father. And each let out a soft sound of appreciation. Your father was the rebel, the dreamer. Jeremy laughed with her, admiring the sparkle in her eyes. Its her diary., Josh made to push the diary away, though he desperately didnt want to touch it. Finally his trembling legs and overworked lungs forced him to a halt. Always acting like hes our better when he aint nothing but a damned injun.. He didnt want to know what the man who denied his fatherhood had to say. Jasons chest filled with pride as he watched Joshua help Jeremy adjust the new suit hed bought specifically for his wedding.
