But I hope you will see fit to allow me to speak with you again. Normally he could lose himself in the book of figures, could see those figures satisfying his plans and his plans fulfilling his dreams. I know, but I promised a certain lovely saloon owner I would share a drink and a game of cribbage this fine evening. And what was done is written in stone. Oh, Miri, are you as proud of this young man we made together as I am at this moment? A little surprised that Jason would notice when he worked, he reluctantly acknowledged that, of everyone in town, the logger knew him best. If he could stay on his feet he could possibly inflict enough damage to make the men tire of their game. The sons of Madeline and Jonathan Bolt. Were just supporting a member of the family. "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. Was it really? Duncan mused. Just read it, Aaron. He was told over and over just how grateful he should be, if only he werent too much of a little beast to be appreciative. Damn, why was he thinking about all this? Her career spans over thirty years of television, films and theatre. Hed thought he could handle the situation by himself, but it seemed to be going from bad to worse. Hes certainly hardworking. He shuddered. What would ownership of a piece of the mountain buy him that he didnt already have? Grasping great handfuls of neat blue uniform, Aaron slammed the colonel against the wall. All you had on were shreds and let me tell you, they didnt hide anything. Why had he said nothing in all the years as they worked their way to a fragile friendship? Now you tell me, which man earned the title of father?, Jason leaned his chin into his hands, not able to think of a single word to refute Aarons argument. But I want you to know right now, I draw the line at living in the same house with Aaron Stempel.. He toppled his desk on its ear. He even seemed to be enjoying their competition as much as Jason. Open hand, Jason muttered almost inaudibly. Jon says I should write a diary. Jonathan Bolt might have been a wonderful father to you. Two long strides took him inside the office. It's the even that everyone has been waiting for; Jeremy and Candy's wedding! You put everyone else to shame.. It belonged to Aarons mother. Jason breathed a great sigh of relief. He tried to summon up the anger that had helped protect him from Jasons persuasion in the past but he hadnt the energy. The clop of horses hooves caused him to slide off the path to the edge of the woods. Concentrating on each movement helped to keep all the disturbing feelings at bay. Hes as scared as you are right now. How much worse would it have been if there had been no family around him and everyone spoke an alien language? Yeah, I was. Bouncing a pebble in his hand, Jeremy squinted at Josh out of the corner of his eye. There was no way they would ever be one big happy family. Aaron tucked his chin and grinned. The answer to that question was the hardest part of this whole thing. Josh could detect no hint of I told you so in Jeremys tone. Why, Jason?, Jason blinked his confusion at the assault. I do have another story I was planning to post, I just haven't had the time to do it. He could have broken the engagement by letter. No, Joshua moaned. Joshua is at the apothecarys, trying to attract that new lass attention. I know you and mother are together again and watching over us.. Explore the site sections and our Medium archive for more. Turns your stomach, doesnt it?. It was in his journal, but I remember that day too. What?, Thats what its always been about, hasnt it? Jason leaned in closer. Will you be a girl who will steal her fathers heart with her smile? The strategy had seen him though more than one encounter like this in his youth. It broke mine. He flipped to the last page with writing. Perhaps their being so young contributed to what happened., He sighed, swirled the amber liquid around in his glass. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment on my story. I look forward to reading it. There was a lot of noise at the saloon, with the enjoyment of a free drink at the end of a hard work day. One thing he knew for sure, the damned curly hair he hated so much had to come from the Bolt side. I know it goes against your nature, but take things slow. He needed someone to talk to who had no stake in the outcome, who had the best interests of all the participants at heart. Ive waited too longweve waited too long already. You may kiss the bride.. You probably broke a couple of knuckles on their thick skulls.. Youre the ones who agreed to bet the mountain and you all agreed to the rules.. Had he destroyed the fragile beginning theyd made today? Aaron, thats enough. Jonathan Bolt was my father, he said, his voice hoarse and strained. His arm cocked back to hurl this book of lies into the fire where it belonged. Were on opposite The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour? as well as Relief? Now be off with ye!. Lottie He let his words die. 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. Will it be able find its way home? Jason hid his chuckle behind his hand while Lottie did nothing to disguise her laughter. An All-Tempa-Cheer bride. To cover, he stomped to the coffeepot warming on the stove. Are you ready to tell me whats wrong now?. The fearful anticipation in his brothers eyes vibrated in Jasons bones. Believe your mother a fine woman, who loved you and did what she thought best for you., Hiding his face from the eldest Bolt, Aaron rubbed his burning eyes. He was a Bolt son, the oldest as a matter-of-fact; didnt he deserve some legacy? Im fine, he assured her. No. You should read it, Uncle. He knew I was his son. But when the pressure is on and the mountains at stake, I feelI dont know Alive. Most of his days were, but today had taken more energy out of him than usual. It shouldnt be so important. Jason was a little surprised when Aaron didnt pull away. Please, just stay put until I get there. His pose looked relaxed but he was as far from relaxed as a man could be. I wanted to beat you, not hurt you. Stempel seemed to see a difference in the two ideas that Joshua didnt. Thanks, Jason.. And I knew he wouldnt let me down., How can you say that? Today, reading was the last thing he wanted to do. Oh, I do love his eyes. A hurt built in Aarons throat. All the times Jason had claimed victory in their battles, hed never seen Aaron appear this dejected before. Standing just inside the doorway, he beamed at the crowd. Why do you think he did that?, I dont know! Though it made me feel like I was being unfaithful to Maddie, I couldnt refrain from asking about her. Look at me. Joshua? Then with a sharp nod to himself, he strode across the room into his bedroom. Will anyone die? Turning away, Aaron took a step for the door. He glanced at Jason for support but found no help in his brothers neutral expression. And what are you going to do about it now that you know? Who he was didnt change just because he now knew how old he really was. I know the subject of the visit but nae the conclusion., Well, I wont keep you fine gentlemen in suspense much longer. Relating a shameful family secret wasnt easy. In no uncertain terms. Oh, God, he whispered, rubbing an agitated hand across his jaw. Colonel Amos Thompson, the man who would give the final approval to the biggest contract Seattle had ever seen. Its him? Her eyebrows climbed into her bangs. Why, Uncle? His princess who saw beyond his shyness and stutter to the man he wanted to be inside. I cant do that, Aaron. Jason turned his back, leaving Thompson standing behind him in open-mouthed shock. Jeremy wanted to go back to the time when he understood the world and the people around him. 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. What will you be like, child of my love? Stay out of this, Bolt. Billy drove a knee in Jeremys already bruised ribs. 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. And Uncle Duncan confirmed it., Yeah. The story had been no surprise to Stempel, Jeremy belatedly realized. For two days, he fought the battle within himself. How would he have faced the impossible choices his father had faced? Being part Indian didnt make him less of a man. There was no arguing with that. It focuses primarily on Joshua Bolt(played by David Soul)and the growing friendship with a drifter. Both his brothers were bound to be upset. You know your father and mother were betrothed very young, do you nae? At their nods, he continued, They had known each other their whole lives. Could they have jumped to conclusions? What kind of surprises does Kerry and Carter's wedding hold for them. Good night, nephew.. Oh God, and all the time He thrust the journal in Jasons face. A glance told him Candy was received a similar treatment, though the men were being much more gentle with her. Your father was the rebel, the dreamer. That made me very tired at work today. Its age was apparent, the edges worn smooth by handling. The mans two companions slid on either side of him with evil grins. Without a word, he slammed the door behind him. Im not. Jeremy raised his hands in peace, but stood his ground. She never made it back to her tribe.. He let it soak into his bruised spirit. Nothing they said would make any difference. Jeremy groaned when the birds outside his window greeted the new day. I dont want to know. Shocked. Was that the reason why Jason, despite all the battles theyd fought against each other, had befriended Stempel? Now why would I ever think the Bolts were troubled? She reached out to still Jasons fidgeting hands. How did someone open up a conversation about something like this? Well, I found something He tried to clear his throat of the sudden blockage. He didnt want to see their gloating. Ugly junk, he thought as he pitched a statuette into the fireplace. He was beginning to wonder if a person could die of frustration. What the hell! He whirled on his assailant. Hed hoped Jason would volunteer the information he needed, but it looked like his brother was going to force him to ask. Every minute he was in the house, they beckoned to him. He must have taken the lad in after his mother died., Jason shivered as a seabird sobbed in the distance. Im sorry. The millowner had been sociable enough during the evening theyd spent together but he hadnt spoken at all about their family situation. And what good had it done him? Well try it your way. I hate the idea too, but, Oh, but it did, a gentle baritone voice intruded. He could feel the trembling even through his suit jacket. But you dont own me! If I remember correctly, of course it was many years ago, but Im sure your mother said you were born October twenty-fourth.. But what about the inside? I couldnt stand it if anything went wrong today., Nothing will go wrong, Jason promised with his whole heart. Like a stick of dynamite had exploded unexpectedly in their midst. :-) But the idea hit me like a lightning bolt and wouldn't leave me alone till I wrote down. The curtain try pulling it back, says the runaway bride, lifting her veil as she checks her Ubers ETA. With obvious effort, Aaron relaxed his stance and turned his back. The door opened and Jason drew a cautious breath as Aaron entered with Lottie on his arm. Bolt, when were your brothers gonna meet us?, He felt solid warmth as Jasons shoulder pressed against his. A roof over my head, thats all I got. Hey!, Men! Jason pulled, keeping him moving until the two men were no longer within arms reach. It didnt happen like that., You never had to worry where your next meal was coming from. Even without Thompsons blatant prejudice, Aaron would take anything to do with his mill personally. Joshua flicked his gaze between the other two men, trying to comprehend what they were talking about. Or maybe you think Stempel held a gun to Fathers head and forced him to write it?, Knowing how ridiculous it sounded, Josh flushed hot. In spite of the seriousness of what he felt, Jason had to chuckle himself. When the brides arrived, there was no housing for them, and the men had to build it overnight. The tantalizing aroma of stew drifted to his nose. He glanced into the mirror again. Should I have left him with the Bolt clan? Equal awe shone from Candys eyes. Jeremy had a right to be included in this conversation. If only I could see a good direction to move., Duncan stole a glance at Joshua. S1, Ep13 8 Jan. 1969 The Log Jam 6.9 (32) Rate 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. Will Josh's eyes be opened in time to prevent him from making a mistake? And maybe he wouldnt be so stiff-necked if we didnt constantly rub his face in our brotherhood.. Why did he have to read that damned journal? Every minute he was in the house, it beckoned to him. Jason sucked in a sudden breath. So far hed seen no proof that the Jon this woman loved was his father. My first thought was "Jason and Biddie on an errand and an accident occurs ." Not that it matters what I say - but go ahead and take his offer. He owned his own business, which grew more prosperous every year. No! A candle joined the debris. I didnt say I didnt want to. Twisting, Josh propped his elbow on the chair back. This is for you. He couldnt remember all the times hed laid his life on the line. Im sorry, Aaron, but you should see your face right now, she giggled. That the mill wasnt up to standards? Im talkin about those damn journals. Or do you think I should owe you for your little act of charity just now?, It's no handout or charity. So we pressured the girl to leave. Aaron Stempel stood at the center of the skirmish, blood from his nose and torn lip dripping down onto his once pristine white shirt. 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. You were but a wee bairn. Hooking his ankle on the porch rail, Duncan leaned the chair back against the wall. Jason sat silently beside his uncle on the empty pier. Ive had enough of the Bolt brothers for one day.. Your father wanted to break the contract with your mother and marry this girl. Im sure theres a groom in there just dying for the first glimpse of his bride., Then I say we shall. To get to the steps where Candy was waiting, Jason had to pass through the church proper. Leaning back on the porch rail, Jeremy pulled Candy close to him. Just try to keep him out of the way when Thompsons here., Slapping his friend on the shoulder, Jason grinned. You just couldnt resist rubbing my face in it, could you?. But then shes not really my sister, is she? He seems to be a decent young man. This is your day. Ordinarily he knew he had a talent with words; he could make them sing and dance at his command. Werent you? Staring straight ahead, Josh was glad he didnt have to look into his brothers blue eyes, which reminded him entirely too much of his fathers. Interesting take on the "half-sibling" plot so popular in our fandom. Of course, Jason had won but not quite as easily as hed assumed he would. Aaron turned enough so their momentum crashed them into the wall instead of the ground. Someone thought you were LORI Smith, a former contributor. The hours passed without his awareness as he paged through each book in turn. But he remembered Jasons frustration and worry over Wainwrights refusal to pay his bill and his stunned joy when the man had unexpectedly coughed up the money. Its not like youve never eaten a meal with us before., He slammed the cup back down on the stove. When they were well on their way, Jason turned loose of Stempel. He was sure she had told no one else about the daughter shed been forced to give up. Where is he? Here Come The Brides ~ Becoming bigvalleylover2 4.1K subscribers Subscribe 210 Share Save 19K views 4 years ago A fan video to one of my favorite tv shows, Here Come The Brides (1968-1970). Josh felt a slight flush of superiority. Some days Id give anything to hear his voice again. Had Jonathan abandoned her when he found out she was pregnant? Ayell try., I know how much Father loved Momma. WellIm sureJason, I think its about time you go collect the bride., Im on my way, Reverend. He gave Jeremy a quick one-armed embrace. Was this what Aaron hadnt wanted to admit? Wiping the remaining lather from his face, he stared deeply into the mirror. Only your father or the girl could tell you more., Father isnt here to tell us, Jason reminded. Oh, yes, weve been talking about it, all of us girls. But dont push us away because youre afraid well reject you like our father did., A violent shiver ran through Aarons frame. They both sat staring into their coffee. Unfortunately, Jeremy ended up at the bottom of the pile, grunting as an elbow dug into his ribs. Some glances held more than curiosity. He softened his voice at Jeremys wince. I want to know how you could ever be friends with a man like him. One long leg stretched out in front of him, he looped his arm around the other upraised knee. I hope youre not taking this personally, Mr. Stempel?. But I do know I want to keep our family together.. That was smart, because then we got to see how Jason interacts with children. Curiosity tinged glances passed over him as people helped themselves to the refreshments. How did you find out?, He rubbed wearily at his brow. He even searched for you., Then why? Aaron whirled, his voice breaking in anguish. Every answer was met with a slight sneer. Cmon, Aaron, lets go take a walk.. Its not unusual for two people to remember things differently. Jason said gently. W-w-w-e have a younger b-b-b-brother? Jeremy stammered, his eyes so wide they seemed to encompass his entire face. Whens my birthday? But how is it fair to save my family shame at the expense of this boy? Oh, she let him know when she thought hed stepped over the line, but he knew he was always welcome in her place. Just saying what I heard. Had Jason uncovered the journals to get Aaron unbalanced and disconcerted just at the moment he needed to be his sharpest? But he didnt seek that thrill out the way Jason seemed to. Half brother to the Bolts? Still ignoring him, Jason opened the book to the first page and started reading. Oh, Candy patted at the tears beginning to drip down her cheeks. If only Maddie werent so sick, I would accept the consequences of my past mistakes and find a way to bring the boy into my family. Captain Roland Clancy brings the disease via his ship to the port of Seattle, Washington Territory. He said "Jeremy, you usually don't have this hard a liquor this early in the day. We wont abandon it. Every time theres trouble in town - trouble Stempels not the one causing, that is - you turn to him for help. Collapse ): link: post comment Lottie made a lot of sense. About me. And why did he want Jason to drop the subject now? Abruptly Candy stumbled around the corner. No amount of guilt or regret could bring back a life lost. He tried to order his thoughts but how could he, when he felt like his feet no longer touched the ground. Since Thompsons departure, Jason had been filled with a sense of quiet waiting. Aaron gave Josh a jaundiced eye before settling back. Now he appreciated that Aaron could have been the only one to delivered seasoned wood that quickly. But to see my son, oh Lord. Shed already been quite sick by the time hed arrived in Seattle. In her presence hed found himself wantingno, he wouldnt delve back into those ludicrous childhood fantasies. Could Aaron really be my brother? He was four last October. This story first debuted in the zine 'Dreams to Last the Years' from the show 'Here Come The Brides'. Jason can be pretty stubborn too., While youve never been stubborn about anything., He pretended to consider the question. No wonder Father rejected him., Josh, Jeremy turned the full force of his sincerity on Josh. I just want it to be perfect., Bracketing his brothers shoulders with his big hands, Jason smiled into Jeremys eyes. Tried dirty tricks to steal our mountain? Josh scrubbed wearily at his face as he heard the unmistakable tread of his oldest brother. No sense wasting the morning., Thats right, Bolt. Thompson walked around his table. Both men whirled toward the intruder. And "The Chatelaine" wrote itself. With a elaborately innocent smile, Lottie replied, Well, this is a saloon, you know. But they hadnt known and now they had few things they could say, this was my fathers. It wasnt that bad., He called me a liar, Aaron replied flatly. Time to go home.. Their fathers death had been quick, unexpected, leaving Jason totally unprepared to raise his brothers. Jason took a half step after him as he stalked off, then halted. Choices are made in love, friendship, anger and pain. Trying to locate him, Jason glanced back into Lotties. He made a pushing gesture. He was just a littleoverly enthusiastic trying to help., For a moment, Aaron looked like he wanted to continue the harangue, but after a deep breath he nodded. I think your brothers had too much to drink, Aaron boomed. Proof he was better than Abigail Stempels insistence that he was worthless and destined to accomplish nothing. We perhaps phrased it more politely but the prejudice was the same. It turned my stomach how Thompson insulted you and your mother. Im not trying to hurt you now. Have you thought that maybe I dont want to be a Bolt?, Taken aback by Aarons vehemence, Jason asked softly, You wanted to when you confronted my father, didnt you?. What we know. He didnt bother to pretend he didnt know what she was talking about. 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. Could we all sit?, Jason, if this is something between you and your brothers? Brow furrowed, Duncan gestured at the door. Its true., Pshaw! she waved with indifference. Astonishingly a few days later, Wainwright appeared at the Bolt cabin, money in hand and cursing Aaron Stempel. Love? Two taps on the door and Reverend Adams poked his head inside. A discreet cough reminded them they werent alone. Or if he did, he didnt chose to comment on it. What did Jeremy want? 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. ***. Of course, Mr. Bolt.. 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. He wasnt defeated yet but he needed time to regroup. Theres nothing to reconsider, Jason said, a gigantic grin on his face. Well take care of this. The man didnt exhibit the blatant prejudice of the previous night; his insults today were of a much more subtle nature. 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? He would never accept Aaron Stempel as his brother. Oh, thank you, something to drink would be so nice., Now you two just sit there and dont move till I get back.. Or will it wander forever lost and alone? I trust you had a good nights sleep., As a matter of fact, I didnt, Thompson growled. It wasnt possible that Abigail Stempel - as fair and white-blond as Julie - and Jonathan Bolt - with tawny brown hair and eyes the same blue as Jasons - could have produced a child with Aarons black hair, olive skin and brown eyes. Why the hell is this so important to you? Aaron turned back to him, honest confusion on his broad features. Did this young lady say that youre Indian, Mr. Stempel?, Pulling his hands from his pockets, Aaron straightened to his full height. Holding out his arm, Jason invited Joshua into the family circle. He wasnt trying to hide, he told himself, but only one group would be heading this way at this time of the morning and he didnt want to meet them. I was in shock and scared and I denied him. Their shoulders touching, they both leaned back against the same tree. He cant touch me if I dont let him. Relax and enjoy it., Jeremy pulled him into an embrace. Thompson had already made up his mind. Right?. Oh, for Gods sake, Aaron groaned. Hell, he was in serious trouble even if they didnt get behind him. He simply wasnt a good enough actor to cover what he felt. And scared things run or fight. And hes always been nice to her; well, as nice as he ever is to anyone.. If you truly want me to leave this at rest with our father, Ill try, Jason promised solemnly. I would give my life to keep from causing her shame. Will it do more harm to Seattle's residents? Thompson opened his mouth to reply just as Aaron walked into the saloon. Obediently, she raced down the street. Have you ever thought that if Father hadnt rejected him, Aaron might not be a man like that?, Josh twisted away from the blue eyes that were so reminiscent of their fathers. Our father, Laird of Kilmarron, had decreed Jonathan would marry the Laird of Montgomerys daughter and so it would be. And only because I care.. I havent been in the exact situation youre talking about, but Ive been close enough that I wouldnt wish it on anyone else., Of all the people in Seattle, Jason understood the situation to which Lottie referred. Im used to sharing all my secrets with Maddie. Feeling the animosity, Aarons eyes narrowed then flashed danger. Jeremy jerked his head back just in time to avoid the boot whisking by his nose. The grin grew until it became a chuckle and the chuckle became full voiced laughter. Miri loved Father very much. Once we got the girl to agree, we smuggled her away without Jonathans knowledge. Aaron had always shied away from touching and being touched; which was why Jason loved to ruffle his feathers by laying hands on him. And Aaron was giving it in accordance to tradition. Good or bad. Backstory, plus answering the questions 1) Why do the Bolt Brothers look so different? And, mostly, to yourself., Pat Foran is a writer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The journal was in his hands again before he knew he intended to pick it up. Not me and Jeremy. At times it seemed like his lifes goal has been to destroy the Bolt brothers., I do nae try to excuse his actions, but I think you see now that he had reason to be hostile to the Bolts.. What makes you think Im worried?, Perhaps worried is nae the correct word? Duncan assessed him with a shrewd eye. My mother never let it out of her sight untilshe died., Our father made this? Jeremy whispered, a catch in his voice. He stared into the dark eyes reflected in the mirror, trying to read the answers. Our strong, beautiful son.
