Mostly he just growls like a sore-pawed bear., I think Jasons letting him stew for awhile. Why, Uncle? Hed have to do the rescuing himself. There was more pain and anger beneath Aarons statement than that. He shot a sideways glance at the oldest Bolt. I d-d-d-dont know, J-j-jason. I know he would have wanted it that way., Ha! Aaron sneered, snatching his hand away. Interesting take on the "half-sibling" plot so popular in our fandom. Oh, Miri, are you as proud of this young man we made together as I am at this moment?

He began to understand a little of what lie behind Aarons hostility. I cant believe you two. He rubbed his burning eyes. He clasped Candys hand in his and together they joined the other congregation members strolling toward church. The brandy helped curb the urge to do both. With obvious effort, Aaron relaxed his stance and turned his back. Jason turned his back, leaving Thompson standing behind him in open-mouthed shock. His brother Aaron. Did Jonathan Bolt know that one day he would be reading this journal? They broke up reluctantly, trailing off in small groups, the buzz of rumor already starting. Wed, Oct 16, 1968 30 mins. Its tradition.. Even if that includes a piece of your precious mountain?. He dreaded it but he felt in his gut now was the time to come to terms with himself and his family. Makes your blood curdle to have to claim me as family, doesnt it?, Its not true, Joshua denied hotly. Standing, the colonel straightened his uniform, emphasizing the gunbelt strapped around his waist. It was better than digging deep enough to find the true reason. I wish you were still here, he spoke to the ceiling. Half a dozen loggers loitered within earshot, trying to look like they were working. I didnt do it to hurt you., What kind of hogwash is that? His day on the mountain had been long and tiring. The things that happen and the things that dont. The good humor faded from the generals face. Is something . Did this young lady say that youre Indian, Mr. Stempel?, Pulling his hands from his pockets, Aaron straightened to his full height. God, I feel guilty for being born. He intercepted the newlyweds just as they quit the dance floor, flushed and out of breath. Just try to keep him out of the way when Thompsons here., Slapping his friend on the shoulder, Jason grinned. Thats the one thing I really cant understand. One of Jason's loggers has been killed by some kind of large animal. What if he was offended?

Ive neverI dont know how! Stempel exploded. He supposed he did look a bit odd, standing there silently with a wooden box clutched against his hip. :-) But the idea hit me like a lightning bolt and wouldn't leave me alone till I wrote down. What a wonderful story! I told them to be in your office by noon.. Despite all the reasons Aaron has to hate the Bolts, weve become friends, he and I., Truly? Duncans eyebrows rose. Oh, she let him know when she thought hed stepped over the line, but he knew he was always welcome in her place. Unsure what he wanted or needed, he held himself apart from the others. Encounters with her wooden spoon had enforced that she was to be called Maam or Mrs. Stempel. This woman meant nothing to him. If I could find a way to avoid it, I wouldnt come within a hundred yards of a Bolt. Tell me whats wrong, she demanded gently. Stakes in a game?, No, of course not! Jason struggled to explain. But the way he touched her, spoke to her and of her. However, aside from finding himself, Josh also believes he's found 'the one'. You may think he made the wrong choice and I grant that his lies hurt you deeply. Pushing himself up, he paused as surge of lightheadedness hit him. But you tell her its not her fault. With a blush and a giggle, Candy broke the delicious contact. The relationship theyd forged in those years could never be the same as hed forged with Joshua and Jeremy in the years they grew up together, but it was just as intense and indisputable. Jeremy nodded a greeting as some of the brides exited the dormitory to wait for their own beaus. Aaron exchanged a charged glance with Jason. If you were on your own at that age with nothing but the clothes on your back? I dont want that mountain any more. Who raised him to expect rejection as his due?But how could I have done anything else? Concentrating on each movement helped to keep all the disturbing feelings at bay. Jason would have his hands full keeping these two men from killing each other today. Red lunged in, driving his shoulder into Aarons midsection. We wont want you two to not find the place and wandering off somewhere alone.. Thanks to the whiskey strike, Seattle has become a dry port. With Maddie so sick, it would kill her if she knew. He swallowed hard before he could continue. I had a confrontation today with the boy whos building the mill. We bought the girl passage on a ship to America. Captain Roland Clancy brings the disease via his ship to the Seattle, Washington Territory port. Jasons voice faded as he led Thompson out of camp. Josh managed a wan smile. Chapter 6. Lottie pressed her advantage. forkie Sure. The revealing stance lasted only a moment. However, Jason Bolt's wedding isn't the only happy event that everyone is waiting for as Aaron and Jemma wait for their child's birth. To have people he could turn to in times of trouble or joy. He hoped the little surprise hed planned for later in the evening would turn the man in the right direction. I know she is. No, Joshua moaned. Spit it out. The hesitancy wasnt like Bolt at all. ( Read more. It would seem right Jason sighed, trying to think of the right way this should be settled. How are you doing this morning?, Confused, Jeremy confessed. Of course, he could just leave the box on the table with all the other wedding gifts. Theyd been able to stop trying to cover up their misdeeds and deal with the solution. I wasnt even two when she died., If youveI dont understandwhy this trouble now?. I took Jason with me today when I went to negotiate a contract with the boys mill. Then with a sharp nod to himself, he strode across the room into his bedroom. Would Jason still love me in that openhearted way of his if he knew the truth? Jeremy and Candy were finally together, flushed from a lively jig around the dance floor. Aaron slapped away the hand. 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. Couldnt you have given him a chance to explain?, He had his chance and he called me a liar. I stopped by your house. Grateful, he nodded. Ive never been very fond of solitary meals.. Ive waited too longweve waited too long already. The bear is the totem of my mothers clan. But I want you to know right now, I draw the line at living in the same house with Aaron Stempel.. Bolt, Aaron returned his greeting. What exactly are you saying, Colonel? Jason cut through the babble. Relating a shameful family secret wasnt easy. But even with understanding, Josh couldnt get beyond the resentment and anger which had built over years. He hadnt spoken to either of his brothers about what he was feeling. All the venom the colonel had been about to launch at Jason and Lottie drew back; a much more satisfying target had just entered the arena. I and the babe should be strong enough then to continue our journey to the land of the Scot. Thompson, Jason said the name with enough venom to surprise Aaron. I cant. But when are you going to really believe that? My lord, shes my wife now!! Maddie is also well and pleased with her new son. For all of his hopeful optimism, Jason knew this wasnt the end of their conflict but only the first step in the right direction. Duncan, you knew? Jason had suspected, but he hadnt been sure. He had to find his own way, so nae long after the betrothal, he left for America. Set in Seattle in the 1870s, the main storyline focused on a family of loggers in the new West who had to bring in 100 women potential brides for their male crewmembers. With the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife, Reverend Adams intoned. Too early for those seeking dinner, the saloon was nearly empty. But what about the inside? Why dont we go over to my place? 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. Mustache snagged his coat sleeve. Well, I better get home before the boys eat all the food. Jason started down the trail, waving back over his shoulder. Standing just inside the doorway, he beamed at the crowd. He loved her, Josh offered. Jason shook his head with a sigh at the mans cluelessness. And why did he want Jason to drop the subject now? Just read it, Aaron. Though he doesnt have Jasons glib tongue, he more than held his own. This girl could barely write her own name. He hadnt thought about what Stempel might have been feeling all these years. That was you, wasnt it?. What would his brothers reaction be? B ridget is best known for her starring role as Candy Pruitt on the ABC series Here Come The Brides. What should I do? All heads turned to the dark figure half-hidden in the shadows of the doorway. He shuddered. Oh, Lord, he moaned inaudibly, what now? So am I. We wont muss a hair on her head, Harve assured him. I would nae take anymore of your time tonight. A gentle tug pulled her into his arms. Shes looking at me, the groom. A stray dog, starved for what was offered, but unable to trust enough to take it. How do you remember it, Aaron?, For six months, hed been avoiding me, Stempels voice came out tight and strained. Where do you think youre going, Aaron? Why I dont know what youre talking about. Joshua hated bigotry of any kind, but he had to admit hed used the words himself. left kudos on this work! In her presence hed found himself wantingno, he wouldnt delve back into those ludicrous childhood fantasies. Not even most of the time. You want me to learn about your father, then you should learn about my mother. You should have known better than to sign a contract without locking in a fair price, Jeremy countered. And itll give me a chance to talk to Biddie. Looks like Red, Billy and George were trying to beat up Stempel. But as much as Ive been tempted to try it myself, knocking heads together isnt going to work. Where is he? Efficiently she packed another cloth inside his mouth, clucking in sympathy as she did. Stepping up on the porch, Duncan ignored his sarcasm. Oh, my goodness., He nodded, worrying his lower lip between his teeth. Today was one day he didnt want to show up with shaving cuts or razor burn. Jason changed course to follow him. I'd love to see your story posted. Had Bolt truly cared or were the words just to soothe his own conscience? Our father would never have done a thing like that., Aaron took a step closer, towering over the seated Josh. I didnt invite you in, Bolt.. Do you know anything about Aarons mother?, Her eyes widened. Do you think he loved the other girl, Miri? 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. More and more pieces of the puzzle were falling into place, but Josh didnt think he yet saw the whole picture. Of course, Mr. Bolt.. Aaron Stempels still the same man we knew yesterday, and yet hes not. There wasnt a moment of quiet all night long.. And he caught you with a trick, didnt he? Jasons gaze trapped him, seeing far more than Josh wanted him to see. But the diary drew him, teased him with its mystery. Damn you, he shouted. Candys eyes echoed the same startled confusion. Jason winced at her choice of words, but Aaron didnt seem to notice. Why cant you accept Father cared about you as a son and be a part of our family?. Theres no way anyone could have faked it., Could you have misinterpreted what he wrote? she asked hopefully. Some coffee? Like a stick of dynamite had exploded unexpectedly in their midst. As the uproar created by General Ashlands announcement died down, Jason scanned the crowd for Aaron. ", Jason felt like screaming his frustration but forced his volume down. But I care about you, Aaron. Damn, that was all they needed. If hed put a bet on her reaction, hed have won. Damned coward. Thank you. Always together, while he stood on the outside, alone. General?, General Ashland, the man extended his hand. I wouldnt be buyin now either., In a way you are. She started to steer him across the room. If youd read the journals, youd see that wasnt true. Help had arrived. How do you Stempel, what Questions tumbled over each other, too quickly to be answered. Of course you do nae. Do yea still have them?, Yes, theyre packed in the cedar chest., Tilting his head, Jason played with his fork. My lord, Jason. In the little yard behind his house, Aaron Stempel, the owner of the biggest sawmill in the area, hefted his ax against a log on the stump he used for splitting wood. He squirmed under Jasons intense blue eyes. 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. I vote no!". What do you say, Aaron?. All the questions hed longed to ask Jonathan Bolt, but hadnt been able to because of the mans denial, bubbled up inside of him. Oh, but you werent conscious then so you wouldnt remember. Aaron, thats enough. Did Bolt delight in discounting him the way he did the Bolt sons? Youre very upset, arent you?, Yeah, I am, but I shouldnt be taking it out on you., Youre not. 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. Are you ready to tell me whats wrong now?. Without warning, a rough shove sent him crashing into the side of Bens store. Lets go for a walk.. Bolt was the one whod spread the reality of his ancestry around town. But Duncan just might be the perfect sounding board. Hes dead. And what of my son? What would stop him from telling Jason the truth? They all leaned forward to see the contents. Was he simply what his experiences had made of him? However, aside from finding himself, Josh also believes he's found 'the one'. Turns your stomach, doesnt it?. Young boys, wary of the white man in their midst. Had Jason uncovered the journals to get Aaron unbalanced and disconcerted just at the moment he needed to be his sharpest? All morning long, hed endured Thompsons digs. Mr. Reverend Adams turned them to face the congregation. I think you should read this, Jason held a book out to him. None of the other loggers had approached him since his arrival before dawn; the scowl on his face warned them away. Jason was the one who was good with words, not him. Staring down at his shuffling feet, Josh wished he could recall the words. He rarely even thought about it. What defined a family? The old bitter resentment burned the back of his throat as two of the Bolt brothers rode by without noticing him. Before they could even get halfway to the door, two groups of men converged on them. If he were a more violent man, he would have smacked the man cross-eyed. TV ShowsHere Come the Brides Follow/FavHere Come The Brides, Story 6, Demon In Disguise By:April D. Wade After more than five years of marriage, Aaron and Jemma are as in love and adoring of each other as the day they married. Whats this all about? Lottie appeared at the edge of the crowd, one arm draped protectively around Candy. Jonathan Bolt was my father, he said, his voice hoarse and strained. "Don't ever let me hear you say anything like that again.". Her sweet response warmed him. That is, if I give him a few minutes to calm down before I go over there., Thank you, Lottie, Jason leaned over and kissed her on the forehead. Aaron took a large gulp of brandy, not even bothering to pour it in a glass. You werent at the cabin for breakfast. I don't think so.". All of which takes a backseat to Aaron's and Jason's biggest concern; who is trying to bring harm to Jemma and why? Good night, nephew.. Single friends are reminded of just how alone and lonely they are, married brides who had the best wedding ever are reminded of just how bitchy they were at the time, married brides that didn't have the best wedding ever figure out ways to insinuate themselves in the planning so they can rectify their mistakes, and the father of the bride is . I guess I can understand why he didnt say anything then. If the battle had been one on one, Jeremy would have waited for help. He staggered as the concept hit him. Not another story about an illegitimate Bolt sibling. Now he wondered if hed ever really known him at all. Dinna the Stempels provide you with a home and family?, A home? Aaron had never before exposed his souls scars, but he wanted to hurt this man. But this one Ive never told her nor can I tell her now. Are you going to try to find this person? Better? She lifted a questioning eyebrow. The sky is bluer than David Souls eyes. Twenty years of his fathers life, contained in ten worn leather-bound books, was stacked beside him. I should have let Aaron punch him. Ive got something I want to talk to you two about. Somehow it just seemed toopersonal. Ive never been a Bolt. Do you know what a bride is? Miss Clark asked Earnest. Leaning back in his chair, Jason watched as the party slowly wound down. 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. No. In the corner, Joshua admired all the pretty girls with Corky and Canada.

Ah you must be Duncan Bolt. The general greeted Duncan with an energetic thump on the shoulder. She co-starred in the television series Harper Valley PTA and has been a guest star on many other television series as well as being an accomplished Theatre actress. Unfortunately, he did. Will wonders never cease? He deserved to be acknowledged as such. I dont think we have anything else to discuss. Both his brothers were bound to be upset. All the years of searching had yielded nothing, then when hed shifted the object of his search, the man showed up right under his nose. Leaning back against the wall of his house, Aaron drew hard on his expensive cigar. 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.. Now excuse me, I feel the need to wash.. Stempel glared as he visibly wrenched himself from distant memories. Yeah, I'm trying to get back to writing again. The bride and groom had sneaked out more than an hour ago. The determined expression made him appear to Aaron suddenly more adult, a man to be reckoned with. If he wasnt very careful he could end up walking off a damned cliff. Could they No, it was pretty plain. In my professional judgment the mill in Everett is simply a much better choice for the governments needs. He knew Candy could feel his sweaty palms but that was all right. Winning the mountain would have been like spitting in the face of all the people whod tried to stomp him into the dirt most of his life. Should I have told them?, It is too late to ask that question, is it nae, lad? Duncan laughed humorlessly. Contents 1 Storyline 2 Cast 3 Episodes 3.1 Season 1 3.2 Season 2 4 External Links Storyline To avoid losing their logging crew, the Bolt brothers bring 100 prospective brides from Massachusetts to Seattle, using money borrowed from sawmill owner Stempel. Enough! Josh lurched upright. Do you have any doubt in your mind at all that this savage couldnt change your life?, Jason wrapped long arms around Aarons shoulders, tugging him back. Leaving the door open invited all manner of vermin into the house. I suppose we are. The lessons about honesty and fair-play their father taught simply by his own actions Stempel had never seen. You know, therere plenty of men around here you could hire to do that. I never seen you work this hard., Rinsing his dry mouth with the first dipper of water, Red spat it on the ground. Thats not true, Joshua., What about with Sheriff Wade? You ready at the mill?, Harves been runnin all day. Jon says we will stay here until the next moon. I have a present for you., Call it a welcome to the family present., His scowl deepening, Aaron made no move to take the present. I do., And your father a man who loved both you and your mother. Duncan ignored Aarons soft grunt. Who was he to make such a judgment? I am on a great adventure. He jerked to his feet. 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. Shes so beautiful. Im sure he wants to prepare for the long trip back to his fort.. What could I give her but more pain? He knew all the words; they were written in his heart. Cmon, Aaron, lets go take a walk.. 25 guests He didnt really care, he told himself; but he continued reading. Seattle expanded every day and he had been and would continue to be at least as influential as the Bolts in its development. But if it hadnt been for me blowing off in camp, Jason slid down the wall until their eyes were level. I look happy, too. Jason hid his chuckle behind his hand while Lottie did nothing to disguise her laughter. She never knew. Is our father the man we thought we knew? Jason added quietly. Josh and Jason also wore new suits, crisp white shirts and meticulously knotted ties. Jason decided it was time to put him out of his misery. I thought they were gonna start throwing punches., Oh my, she breathed. I dont see how Aarons parentage could make Jason desperately tried to intervene. As much as Jason didnt want it to be true, Aaron was their brother. Just came in to warm up., Josh checked the surge of irritation. Should he turn to his left and his house or continue up the path to Lotties? About my mother., And you got angry, didnt you, Aaron? Jason prompted quietly. Hes just very shy. Congratulations, he whispered. What a bride is what a groom is what a spouse is what a partner is what connection means what a marriage is? Unexpectedly, he wondered if a lot of Aarons determination to win Bridal Veil had come from the knowledge hed kept concealed. Aaron rested his chin on the forearms crossed over the back of his chair. But Jomyour father didnt have any family in America when he married my mother. Someone to be proud of you? And what are you going to do about it now that you know? No, I cant believe that. Josh and Ken stepped away but kept a cautious eye on the three men. He lives here in Seattle., Who, Jeremy? she gasped. Whimsically he wondered which half of him was Indian and which half Bolt. Some days Id give anything to hear his voice again. But because he loved the struggle so much? She spoke of long days in an unfamiliar environment. Not me and Jeremy. All three Bolts were crammed into the tiny back room of the church and the wedding was only minutes away. Aye, she was. Will he and his crew infect the entire town? Or thirty-five years ago, when you stole my father and killed my mother? Satisfaction filled him when the old man flinched. Oh, thank you, something to drink would be so nice., Now you two just sit there and dont move till I get back.. He was in a grand fury when he found out. I want to say The Teenage Mutant Male War Brides are singing the opening theme: When you find your own true love, you will know it by his smile by the look in his eyes Look out everyone here come the brides! With that in mind, and to celebrate the birth of Jason's daughter, and Jeremy, and Jemma's sons, Josh returns to Seattle to introduce his fiancee to his family. Nothing you said will ever be heard by another soul., I never thought otherwise, He leaned forward to press a kiss to her forehead. An instant of irritation eased into resigned amusement. I couldnt stand it if anything went wrong today., Nothing will go wrong, Jason promised with his whole heart. Well, let me take a look anyway. But once he got outside of the office, he froze. He tried to summon up the anger that had helped protect him from Jasons persuasion in the past but he hadnt the energy. He must have or Jason would never have given them to me to read. Nothing! I cant imagine how he feltall these yearsknowing what he knew, Yeah. This time Joshua was glad for his older brothers talent; too little sleep and too much brooding had reduced him to barely being able to think. 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. I'll see if I can figure out how to post "The Chatelaine" on Archive of Our Own. That he was my father., Jason closed his eyes against Aarons expression. He stalked off to join the rest of the crew. A candle joined the debris. He never showed the slightest interest in the fate of my mother or what my life might have been like. Handing a glass to each of them, he poured a liberal draught for all. Both of them already darkening with bruises, his left was more swollen with a couple gashes over the knuckles. How must he have felt knowing he was but that the right to claim it had been denied him? Give him a way to gracefully back down., I should have known all this, Jason admitted ruefully. Was it worth the risk? Yet he craved the knowledge. Emotions he didnt want to identify roiled through him. I dont want to know. Just teasing. You answered some questions which I wished had been handled in the series regarding Jason and when responsible for the brothers. I just dont know. What was the right thing to do? Dont think so.. I dont need to know. Do nae misunderstand. But when Aaron Stempel finds out, his next obvious move is to make her leave town so he can win Bridal Veil Mountain. Arms lifting hesitantly, Aaron shot a helpless look at Jason. That reaction was exactly what Aaron was aiming for. The show ran from 1968 to 1970 and starred Robert Brown, David Soul, and Bobby Sherman as the respective brothers. He couldnt remember all the times hed laid his life on the line. I dont believe it, he spit in the older mans face. Please consider turning it on! Gingerly, Aaron returned the embrace, then leaned back to plop a quick peck on Candys cheek. I know its hard to change the way youve always thought about things - and people - but if you let yourself you could find Aaron Stempel isnt your enemy., Joshs sigh shook him down to his boot soles. Maybe those times hadnt so courageous when losing his life had never really mattered that much to him. Why had he said nothing in all the years as they worked their way to a fragile friendship? In his opinion, there was nothing tall, strong Jonathan Bolt couldnt do. They tussled in the mud, each trying to gain an advantage. Well try it your way. 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. We were just a mistake he wanted to forget about.. Aaron had decided long ago he couldnt waste his life wishing for something that would never be. Met a Dwamish hunting party this afternoon. Youre my brothers bairn.. Jason couldnt contain his gasp. Jonathan loved the girl. Jason could almost imagine if he touched the bears coat it would be fur under his fingers. A comfortable chair set a few feet away from him but tonight he chose to sit on the hard wood. It is an Aaron-centric romance, though it has quite a bit of the rest of the Seattle crew also. Thank you, Miss Cloom. He let it soak into his bruised spirit. And what if she did? Kerry Weaver walked into the ER with a huge smile on her face. Billy tried to get back into the fray but Jeremy managed to snag his ankle, dropping him back on the ground. Im not afraid!. What we know. Im not trying to hurt you now. It was nae right what the colonel said to you., Is what he said any different from how you felt? Aaron snorted. What I call myself is my business, not yours. Facing the soldier squarely, Aarons dark eyes smoldered. I wonder if he even thought of me at all. Maybe lets dont, the princess bride says.
