here come the brides fanfiction

I have been on my feet all day and I fear the old bones are nae what they used to be., Oh, by all means, make yourself comfortable., Settling himself in the chair, Duncan leaned forward. I only have to put my hand on the stove once to discover that itll burn. Aaron whirled on Joshua. The tantalizing aroma of stew drifted to his nose. Could I face her again after what I allowed to happen? Maybe its just an attempt to make us feel guilty.. Here Come The Brides was an hour-long comedy/Western TV series that aired on ABC for a total of 52 episodes over two seasons from September 25, 1968 to April 3, 1970. The rigid lines of his shoulders relaxed and he quirked a smile. Remember Im the one who has to approve your contract with the government. Seattle expanded every day and he had been and would continue to be at least as influential as the Bolts in its development. He closed his eyes at the feelings those fingers induced, the deep craving they elicited. Youre fired. There was Aaron to consider, too. Why dont you come in?, Fluttering her eyelashes at him, she threw him bright grin. Tried dirty tricks to steal our mountain? Why, thank you, Aaron. He didnt know where to start. Twisting, Josh propped his elbow on the chair back. Josh scrubbed wearily at his face as he heard the unmistakable tread of his oldest brother. Good evening, General., Bolt and Stempel. Ashland chuckled. Its a good thing to know I can always count on my family lookin out for me., Aaron, listen, I didnt arrest them because, No! He backed away from Jasons reaching hand. But neither of us has ever hated the other., A game? Very late the second night, Joshua picked up the diary of Miri. You cant change how people believe and feel overnight., But I need to do something, his voice rose. Its age was apparent, the edges worn smooth by handling. A short week ago, they had been nervous and excited about the arrival of Thompson. Three years, until he died himself, he never said a word., Maybe he was. It is an Aaron-centric romance, though it has quite a bit of the rest of the Seattle crew also. Then why did it still gnaw at his belly when he saw them together? Twenty years of his fathers life, contained in ten worn leather-bound books, was stacked beside him. Look out everyone here come the brides! Though it made me feel like I was being unfaithful to Maddie, I couldnt refrain from asking about her. Jason sat in a quiet corner of Lotties watching the bubbles ascend in his beer. Oh, Candy, you dont really think hed do anything to ruin your wedding? Jason kept his voice confident although he had his own misgivings in that direction. Im sorry, Aaron, Jason started, sliding his hand from Aarons shoulder to his neck. Please, just stay put until I get there. Jasons probably hatching some scheme for tomorrow as we speak., I wouldnt want to miss it, his grin faded and he continued more seriously. Jasons slap to Thompsons shoulder resounded in the morning quiet. He simply wasnt a good enough actor to cover what he felt. So far hed seen no proof that the Jon this woman loved was his father. I just dont know. What was the right thing to do? She couldn't wait to find Elizabeth. Did Mirimanto have to die so we could live?, Nae, lad, nae. Duncan grabbed for his hand. You know Ill just worry until Im sure youre all right..

As badly as Aaron had wanted to resent her, he hadnt been able to find it in himself to bear ill will to the fragile mother. All three Bolts were crammed into the tiny back room of the church and the wedding was only minutes away. Unsure who he was damning, he vented his rage on the possessions around him. Bolt, Miss Pruitt, Stempel barely acknowledged them. And Uncle Duncan confirmed it., Yeah. The story had been no surprise to Stempel, Jeremy belatedly realized. Oh, my goodness., He nodded, worrying his lower lip between his teeth. She seemed to be satisfied with what she saw there. Was there anything he could point to and say, this is what I accomplished? With a sigh of surrender, he sat. Chapter 1 - Revelations. Jason hoped not; he didnt want to think his father capable of that. He wasnt! Pulling up the collar of his jacket against the misting rain, Joshua tried to appear attentive as Jason laid out the plans for the day to Colonel Thompson. And why did he want Jason to drop the subject now? I thought you were Looking into his eyes, her giggles faded. I deeply regret my part in this tragedy. But Abigail wanted no part of being Aarons mother, as shed proved the few times hed slipped. Aaron Stempel stood at the center of the skirmish, blood from his nose and torn lip dripping down onto his once pristine white shirt. I couldn't stop reading until I finished it last night. Aaron gave a short, sad laugh. My mill has a third more capacity than his and you know it. Groaning, Josh leaned back until his head thumped against the wall. Only fifteen at the time of his fathers death, hed just begun to ponder the possibility that his father could make mistakes. There were times he couldnt believe his good luck. Rising to his feet, Aaron kept talking over Jasons increasing volume. If I couldnt rub your fur the wrong way, I would be bereft., Right, Aaron nodded decisively. Joshua is at the apothecarys, trying to attract that new lass attention. Read this! Jason demanded, flinging his fathers journal across the desk. Now enough of this worrying. They held on for a long moment, then broke apart, each a little misty-eyed. Refresh the page, check Medium 's site status, or find something interesting to read. 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. A more beautiful sight Ill never see. Now if that uncle of yours doesnt cause the problems he did the last time he was here., Oh, Aaron, Jason chided his friend, though he winced when he recalled some of Uncle Duncans actions on his last visit from Scotland. A quick glance told Aaron that the other two brothers were just as stunned as he was. Hed never meant for any harm to come to Aaron Stempel. Everything counts. More and more pieces of the puzzle were falling into place, but Josh didnt think he yet saw the whole picture. A split lip and some bruises. Aaron erupted from his chair. Jon says he should have his own name, a strong name. Rather formal for a new brother-in-law. Well, why dont we get going then? Snagging his jacket, he headed out the door. Before he anticipated, the boys stood to clear the table. Wasnt lookin out for anybody but myself. Find him on Twitter at @pdforan. A week of arguing, cajoling and threatening had gained Jason nothing. At Joshs present age, Stempel had had his own growing business and had built the biggest house in Seattle. Should they know? I was only eight but I remember how sick Momma was in those last few months, how frail. He didn't want to talk about this, not to anyone. Well have to depend on you. Practically shouted it in the middle of the camp. Why Jason had ever wanted to be his friend, he didnt know. Thompson, Jason said the name with enough venom to surprise Aaron. Since Thompsons departure, Jason had been filled with a sense of quiet waiting. Waves sloshed against the pilings beneath them in an elemental rhythm. He didnt want to think about it now, but he forced himself. No wonder Father rejected him., Josh, Jeremy turned the full force of his sincerity on Josh.

Jason halted his march when he saw Jeremys approach. I learned my lesson last time I was here. She has a bit of an infatuation with him, you know. But you dont own me! Do you believe its true?, Relieved that someone was finally asking his opinion, he sighed. When?, A couple of months after our mother died, wasnt it, Aaron?, Deliberately turning his back on them, Stempel wandered to the window. Unconsciously, he began rocking, a moan rattling in his throat. What if its all true? 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. Now he wondered if hed ever really known him at all. Ill say., Is it true? She moved her head so she could see his eyes. Everythings falling apart., Reaching over to the sideboard, she took a bottle of whiskey and poured a healthy jolt into his cup. Jeremy, Candy startled when she saw him. A short uppercut knocked Red away but Shortys punch smashed his lips against his teeth. Let me read you some.. If you truly want me to leave this at rest with our father, Ill try, Jason promised solemnly. You mean, now? Aaron struck out. The answer to that question was the hardest part of this whole thing. Im prepared to offer the logging portion of the contract to your company, Mr. Bolt. Not knowing what Aaron might do today wasnt easy on his peace of mind. An HCTB correspondent shared the connection to this story with me. Ive got an idea of something that might help.. 2. Aaron had never had the benefit of their fathers presence. Jeremy wanted to go back to the time when he understood the world and the people around him. About me. Im sorry, sweetheart. She tipped his chin up so he would meet her eyes. His father had never even looked at a woman other than his mother. Occasion seems to call for some fortification, he smiled wearily. Did I do right, Uncle? Jason leaned his chin into his palms. Jonathan must have contributed to half the population growth of Washington Territory. At fifteen, hed packed the few things Abigail had allowed him to call his own and left. He denied it! A hint of pain showed through Aarons fury. What are you men doing? he bellowed. He deserved to be acknowledged as such. Who, in Abigail Stempels opinion, was anyone with skin lighter than his own. He even seemed to be enjoying their competition as much as Jason. Aye, she was. So you told him about your mothers death in the most spiteful way you could, didnt you, Aaron? The grin grew until it became a chuckle and the chuckle became full voiced laughter. Escorting Thompson out, Jason carefully kept his body between the two antagonists. That aint no tradition!, Joshua whapped him again. It was an unexpected joy to watch the boys negotiate. A comfortable chair set a few feet away from him but tonight he chose to sit on the hard wood. Your fathers child?, Jeremy tensed. But to see my son, oh Lord. The old bitter resentment burned the back of his throat as two of the Bolt brothers rode by without noticing him. Why cant you accept Father cared about you as a son and be a part of our family?. Oh, Jeremy, she giggled. Aaron had no reason to love the Bolt family. Very bright and pretty, but Indian. Finding none, he simply took it with him in pursuit. Not scared. He threw down his pen in disgust. Already he loves you even before youve met. Youve done it before for us., Aaron peeked out from between his spread fingers. Oh, Jason. Candy fanned a hand in front of her face to cool her flush. That Stempels part injun?, Didnt sound like they was making it up. That was the only answer of which he was sure. That games over. He shot Jason a slightly out of focus glare. He couldnt recall, in all the years theyd known each other, Aaron making the slightest mention of his mother. Laird of Kilmarron my father had been born and raised to be. I wonder what he thought of me. On his own in San Francisco, Joshua Bolt seems to have found his niche managing the family's business interests in California. How old am I? The questions slipped out against his will. Didnt say I believed it., Seems to me you aint got no reason to defend Stempel, Red continued to glare. With a sweeping arm, he cleared a wall shelf, sending its contents flying. Here Come the Brides is an American comedy Western series from Screen Gems that aired on the ABC television network from September 25, 1968 to April 3, 1970. Rolling his head from side to side, Aaron tried to release the tension in his shoulders. He was four last October. Yes, I miss him. I love her so, in spite of how we began. He did nae always make the right choices but he always made them with the best of intentions.. We are willing to open up our family circle for you, but you have to be courageous enough to step inside. How do I balance what he wants from me against the needs of my family? Damned coward. Swackhamer Writers Because you wanted to hurt him as much as hed hurt you. What?, Thats what its always been about, hasnt it? Jason leaned in closer. Oh, yes, weve been talking about it, all of us girls. The question of their fathers integrity. Her sweet response warmed him. And how do you feel about that?. But he couldnt leave it be. Hed hated seeing the disappointment on Jasons face. Ill be along in a little while. Your father denied I even existed.. Your father was the rebel, the dreamer. This diary, Uncle Duncan, even his fathers own words pointed to only one thing. Its tradition.. The mountain!? I suppose I am, Uncle.. All right, Lottie relented, not just on her demand that he take off his shirt. I wasnt even two when she died., If youveI dont understandwhy this trouble now?. He owned his own business, which grew more prosperous every year. I think I would., Even if it meant learning something hurtful about your father?, She smiled ruefully, I dont think theres anything hurtful about my father that I dont already know., Split milk, she shook her head. But when are you going to really believe that? What makes you think Im worried?, Perhaps worried is nae the correct word? Duncan assessed him with a shrewd eye. Could Aaron really be my brother? His room in total disarray, he at last slumped down on his bed, physically if not emotionally, exhausted. He clamped his mouth shut, embarrassed by how much hed revealed. And in a few more minutes shell be my wife. Without drinking he pressed the cool glass against his brow. He felt it in his own gut as Aarons eyes widened, face losing color beneath the dark tint of his skin. But this isnt over between us., I know that, Aaron. Jason took a step back, allowing Aaron some breathing room. Grounding the ax in the stump, he pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his face. I want to be strong for him. A silent growl rumbled in Aarons chest. We came close to losing everything., If you couldnt afford to lose the mountain, you shouldnt have bet it. Aaron had never seen the man before but he knew who he had to be. Jason continued as if Josh hadnt spoken, It must be very precious to him, yet he trusted me with it. "Why did you stop?" she murmured. Better? She lifted a questioning eyebrow. Still, hunger gnawed at his belly. Afternoon, Aaron, Jason greeted, his voice unusually soft, almost gentle. Was it worth the risk? Now his best efforts only seemed to make the situation worse. I think I would have enjoyed watching that as much as Stempel would have enjoyed doing it., I suppose I should go check on Aaron, Jason sighed. But how is it fair to save my family shame at the expense of this boy? Please, Candy, look at me. Or a boy for Jon to teach the ways of the forest? An all-dressed-in-white bride. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a movement on the trail to his office. Just something he said today. 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. All right, Jason. Even his clothes - black suit without the usual accompanying brocade vest - looked gloomy. We sat on the linoleum floor, sipped metal-flavored juice from wax cups and listened to Miss Clark tell Lyle the Crocodile stories. Jason looked down in awe at the delicate tome. Aaron wondered what else the revelation of his parentage would cost him. She knows what a parent is. But Josh couldnt give up long-held feelings that easily. Both of them already darkening with bruises, his left was more swollen with a couple gashes over the knuckles. Unfortunately, Jeremy ended up at the bottom of the pile, grunting as an elbow dug into his ribs. Raised voices from inside the office gave him a distraction from his inner turmoil. tip: "sherlock (tv)" m/m NOT "sherlock holmes/john watson", Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings. Of course, he hadnt been paying much attention to anything but one slim volume of a young womans life. Havent you gotten your pound of flesh yet?, What pound of flesh? Jason leaned on his desk, twisting to attempt to see his face. And if theyd jumped anyone else, theyd be in jail right now, not just fired. Aaron spat scarlet on Jasons boots. Lord. But sometimes its really hard being the middle brother. His wife. Hell, he was in serious trouble even if they didnt get behind him. A few monthscleared up things in Tucsonthen George diedI ended up in Seattle.. I cant just sit back, Im not saying you should. Lottie kept her own tone soft and soothing. You knew that my father was your father. What are you going to do now?. He didnt want to know what the man who denied his fatherhood had to say. Aaron had always shied away from touching and being touched; which was why Jason loved to ruffle his feathers by laying hands on him. "Jenny!" In fact, theyd mostly avoided him. Wherere Josh and Jeremy? he asked as he lifted the lid from the pot simmering on the stove. He says it will help me get better english and be history for our child. Jason checked on the whereabouts of both of his brothers. His work has appeared in Okay Donkey, Milk Candy Review, Little Fiction, Bad Pony and elsewhere. Ive faced far worse than you. This bigot wasnt going to make him do it now. He lives here in Seattle., Who, Jeremy? she gasped. Did Jonathan Bolt know that one day he would be reading this journal? If it wasnt hate, what the hell was it? Not immediately recognizing the voice, Aaron squinted into the darkness, barely making out a silhouette approaching from the Bolts cabin. The description of their rivalry as a game to Jason, is spot on. If we accept the contract, we have to agree to cut Aaron out of the deal? One would think he were the first man to ever father a child. Ive never been very fond of solitary meals.. I wanted to send out this "New and improved" version. Oh, thank you, something to drink would be so nice., Now you two just sit there and dont move till I get back.. Theres nothing worse than being an outsider to your own family. Misty blue eyes lifted to his. Youre scaring away my customers., Jason lifted his head with a half-hearted attempt at a grin. As they walked in silence toward the saloon, Jason tried to frame the dilemma in his mind. Not now. Damn it all! What could it possibly accomplish?, Just pretend I never found out the truth? Jason shook his head violently. Theyre on a mountaintop laced with luscious greens and derelict yellows. Jason sat silently beside his uncle on the empty pier. Other men needed the assistance of family. Maybe I can calm him down a little.. She doesnt have time for a good man like my friend, George. Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it. They also shared more than ten years of history - clashing against each other and standing shoulder to shoulder when their town or family was threatened. What game are you playing now, Bolt? You just couldnt resist rubbing my face in it, could you?. Cmon, Red, Stempel snarled. The two men were close to the same age and size. They broke up reluctantly, trailing off in small groups, the buzz of rumor already starting. The bride and groom had sneaked out more than an hour ago. Work Search: It doesnt matter who was to blame. In the resounding echo Jason heard the lock slam home. In the next moment, an internal voice said, "It's about Lottie." Titillating., Im glad you find my lineage of interest., Did I hear correctly? Colonel Thompsons cold voice came from over Jasons shoulder. I think you boy for you are strong and active inside of me. You have my word., I hope so, she whispered. Its her diary., Josh made to push the diary away, though he desperately didnt want to touch it. A stray dog, starved for what was offered, but unable to trust enough to take it. I had no idea Stempel helped us out after Fathers death. Ive never beennot reallyIve always been alone.. Crude? Aaron snarled. Time to get it over with. Bolt, Aaron returned the greeting, his face wiped clear of expression. Jeremy, whats wrong?, He allowed himself a slight grin.

Lottie didnt look at all surprised when he pulled her aside. Hes getting married next month to Candy. Joshua erupted from his chair. Aaron was finally starting to open up and Joshuas presence could cause him to roll back up in his protective ball. Tea? Oh, Lottie - she had a special place in his heart, although he didnt think hed ever find it in himself to tell her so. The enormous tree shuddered under his assault then wobbled. And he didnt want to, especially not tonight. Thats it. Oh, its thatits just sooh, thank you, MrAaron.. But the books drew him, teased him with their mystery. Jason?, Please, Lottie, I cant explain. Somehow it just seemed toopersonal. Aaron resisted the urge to squirm under that bright, sincere gaze. Why are you taking his side?. How much I love him? Johnsons mill in Everett?
