The brides are homesick for family. But I hope you Bolts dont start thinking all this brotherly mush is going to be an every day occurrence.. But there should be three more Bolts included in this conversation. A sudden illness and advice from a friend makes Jason Bolt rethink his friendship with sawmill owner, Aaron Stempel. Let's Forget the Past - HERE COMES THE BRIDES - Wattpad by LolaLove0 YOU ARE READING Let's Forget the Past Fanfiction Queen Bee Alison moved from Riverdale making her the new girl in Rosewood, but will her secrets follow her? No, you dont understand, Aaron sighed. Ill never forget the day we got your letter, telling us what had happened. There was no arguing with that. You captured the essence of each character, and the story is well written. Rules which you bent on occasion, Jason interjected. But it had happened. What is it you want to talk about, as if I cant guess?, His hand came down on the table with enough force to rattle the china. Hunkered against a tree in the far corner of camp, Joshua attacked his ax with the sharpening stone. Admit it, youre just as appalled as he was that I might be related to you.. Johnsons mill in Everett? Jeremy went to the dormitory to visit that pretty girl of his. Duncan threw a couple of plates at the table. Soon he was laughing so hard, tears filled his dark eyes. Candy recoiled as if the box might hold a rattlesnake. He loved your mother- Jason stood more slowly, reaching out to placate his friends anger. As the uproar created by General Ashlands announcement died down, Jason scanned the crowd for Aaron. Our fathers own voice is telling us from the grave., Our father made a mistake. I cant imagine the courage it took for you to approach him. Especially for a man like Aaron, he added mentally. Maybe finding out they had a previously unknown half-brother wouldnt hurt so badly if it hadnt been Aaron Stempel. Or tired, the skin drawn taut across his broad cheekbones. Was this what Aaron hadnt wanted to admit? Im never gonna believe Aaron Stempel is our half-brother and thats it., Sighing, Jeremy tossed his pebble away. Looks like Red, Billy and George were trying to beat up Stempel. Oh, lad., Itll break your heart. No, Joshua moaned. There was Aaron to consider, too. He glanced into the mirror again. But they hadnt known and now they had few things they could say, this was my fathers. One thing that no one had ever questioned was his courage. He read it again, then a third time, trying to deny what his eyes saw. Not because they werent true, but because they were too true for his own comfort. He remembered days on the voyage around the Horn back from New Bedford that had seemed endless. But if anyone askes, I didn't condone your carnivorous tendencies. Director E.W. Not knowing what Aaron might do today wasnt easy on his peace of mind. Oh, well, we all just found out a few days ago, Biddie spouted. Briefly he debated whether he should tell her what hed learned this night. Entering the tent, he slumped down in his chair. And now that youve found out hes our brother, will you ever turn to us again?, Everyone looks up to you. What you got planned, Red? Billy asked. Like hed lost something very precious to him. His anger flared, threatening to consume him and everyone around him. Stick with the script! several brides shout. Jason could almost imagine if he touched the bears coat it would be fur under his fingers. But I dont know if I can. JasonIdamn itNo!. There was just something so undeniably likable about Jason Bolt. You should read it, Uncle. His wife. I said we need a family vote.. You sure you dont need me to help clean up?, We can handle it, Candy sighed heavily. As Aaron opened the gift, Jason had a moment of trepidation. His heart broke for that girl. The people she came from was a convenient excuse. Abruptly Candy stumbled around the corner. Yeah, slow down. Dowries?, Okay, fine, Earnest said. Ive had enough of that today. He started to get to his feet but he was just unsteady enough that she easily forced him back down. Not scared. His skin twitched at the knowledge of what he was about to do. Aaron resisted the urge to squirm under that bright, sincere gaze. 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. He was proud of you and he would have shown it if you would have let him.. Rising to his feet, Aaron kept talking over Jasons increasing volume. So hes never said anything to you, either?. He wasnt happy about tonights events himself. There were times he couldnt believe his good luck. Had his fight for respectability been all for nothing? Just say it., This wont affect our wedding, will it?, No! he stated emphatically. It would have been proof he was just as good as the sons whod had their fathers favor. Now you run along and tell whoever youre gonna tell, whatever youre gonna tell them, she said with a sly grin. Ill see, all right, Aaron grimaced, but with a tiny twinkle in his eyes. The trees are up on the mountain. Hadnt he already accomplished all that, without the damned mountain? The caress of a curtain, pulled. The gathering gloom of evening matched the darkness in his heart. We're fighting on the same side of this war, Aaron. Jason parked his butt on the edge of the desk. I wonder what he thought of me. Is it the fever, or is Amanda just seeing things? Billy tried to get back into the fray but Jeremy managed to snag his ankle, dropping him back on the ground. Only patience and persistence would turn the animal into a friend. She seemed to be satisfied with what she saw there. 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. Thank you, Lottie, he patted her hand in gratitude. But this one Ive never told her nor can I tell her now. The bear is the totem of my mothers clan. I understand why Mr. Bolt didnt give you his name, Thompson snickered maliciously. Could Jason have planned all this? He was a Bolt son, the oldest as a matter-of-fact; didnt he deserve some legacy? He stared into the dark eyes reflected in the mirror, trying to read the answers. Only your father or the girl could tell you more., Father isnt here to tell us, Jason reminded. Jason agreed with a silent nod. 'Here Come The Brides' told of the adventures of a logging work team (The Bolt Brothers: Jason, Joshua, and Jeremy) and the marriageable single women brought by them to post-American Civil War Seattle in the Washington Territory. That was smart, because then we got to see how Jason interacts with children. But not enough to tell me to my face, Aaron sneered. 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. He closed his eyes at the feelings those fingers induced, the deep craving they elicited. Stempel arrowed a ferocious glare at him. I dont know if I can ever call that man brother., Seating himself at the table, Jeremy folded his hands in front of him. 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. Stempel did that? No, he made you look inexperienced and too eager to show me up, Jason assured him. You are my brother. I dont like that he lied then but I can understand., For three years after Momma died, he still kept the secret. Well have to depend on you. Or that his father had made that momentous of a mistake. Half-breed! Let me read you some.. I may not have paid those telegrams much heed but, you see, the officer in question had already raised enough suspicion that an investigation was in progress.. Do you know what happened, Uncle? Jason tried to keep his voice gentle but he was near desperate to hear the whole truth. An HCTB correspondent shared the connection to this story with me. The two men were close to the same age and size. I dont know what youre talkin about., Jason leaned against the wall, including both Josh and Stempel in his gaze. I think the word you want is savage. But I care about you, Aaron. Hed been too dazed with grief to even try to figure out who could have delivered that lumber. You didnt., I did. Jason plucked the gift from the giggling millowners hand, displaying the pine cone which had been painstakingly painted gold. No! :). Not only had he been on his own at a young age, hed lost someone hed loved. The day had gone surprisingly well, despite the lack of preparation. Now I feel like the whole worlds been turned upside down., Aaron collapsed back into his chair. ***. He knew I was his son. My son. The man couldnt even call him by his name. Were just supporting a member of the family. But then again these two were the ones who really needed to confront their differences. I had a confrontation today with the boy whos building the mill. Bolts opinion meant nothing. Jason hoped not; he didnt want to think his father capable of that. And I refuse to do it for long. But youve managed to build a working relationship with him. There was almost a plea in Jasons voice. Had he destroyed the fragile beginning theyd made today? The sky is bluer than David Souls eyes. You know what this could mean to us, dont you, Aaron?, Of course, I know. Aaron rolled his eyes. That might be just what I need right now., Giving his nephews hand a brief squeeze, Duncan stood. Your father denied I even existed.. The bold logger could outtalk the very devil. Jonathan Bolt had chosen not to acknowledge him as a son and that could never change. The father hed known would never consider such a thing. With much shouting and bumping, the crowd carried the newlywed couple to the party waiting to happen. I mean about you and Jonathan., Why dont you ask Bolt? We dont need their damned jobs. Today, reading was the last thing he wanted to do. Offering his hand, he helped Lottie to her feet. Wedding Preparations ! Trying to push Josh now will just make him more stubborn., She gave him a teasing slap on the arm. You put everyone else to shame.. Is this my punishment for daring to love a man not of my people? :-) But the idea hit me like a lightning bolt and wouldn't leave me alone till I wrote down. Sure you dont want to talk more? Jeremy offered. Trying to locate him, Jason glanced back into Lotties. It was over, done with, and nothing anyone did now would make a bit of difference. Not that hed ever really been friendly with the middle Bolt but theyd always been able to maintain a civil working relationship before. The last few days you have seemed rathermelancholy.. He hadnt spoken to either of his brothers about what he was feeling. But when Aaron Stempel finds out, his next obvious move is to make her leave town so he can win Bridal Veil Mountain. I suggest you reconsider, gentlemen! Thompson stammered. But you tell her its not her fault. It's the even that everyone has been waiting for; Jeremy and Candy's wedding! You were but a wee bairn. Hooking his ankle on the porch rail, Duncan leaned the chair back against the wall. He lives here in Seattle., Who, Jeremy? she gasped. Almost like I was peeping in a window., Duncan reached out to tap his hand. He began to understand a little of what lie behind Aarons hostility. 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. I cant just let this go! In spite of his intentions, Jasons voice rose to a shout. As long as you swear youre not hiding any broken ribs under there., Nothing broken, he assured her. Jason turned his back, leaving Thompson standing behind him in open-mouthed shock. What?, Thats what its always been about, hasnt it? Jason leaned in closer. It would do him no good to deny it. Perhaps you can. And Uncle Duncan confirmed it., Yeah. The story had been no surprise to Stempel, Jeremy belatedly realized. Shes looking at me, the groom. Is that all our mountain means to you? "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. I think I will., Leaving the door open for proprietys sake, he followed her to the table. 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.. Youre scaring away my customers., Jason lifted his head with a half-hearted attempt at a grin. He wasnt! All right, Bolt, but dont make it too late in the week.. He grunted in response. Tilting his head, Aaron acknowledged Thompson with a nod that more closely resembled a challenge to a duel than a greeting. Is that why you hate us so much? Josh asked. Do you know what today is? he asked softly. Yes. Jason straightened and faced him directly. Jeremy, what are you really here for?, Jeremy settled on the ground beside him. Should he turn to his left and his house or continue up the path to Lotties? Jason winced at her choice of words, but Aaron didnt seem to notice. For two days, he fought the battle within himself. Knowing only a part of the truth is worse than anything you could tell us.. Both his brothers were bound to be upset. Nothing that wont heal. Well, let me take a look anyway. However, aside from finding himself, Josh also believes he's found 'the one'. He ducked his head away, uncomfortable with the closeness. I suppose I know as much of the story as anyone. death was tragic, but it happened long before you were born. How could he ask what he wanted without Lottie being able to guess what he was talking about? Aaron remained silent but his frown and sidelong glance told Jason the whole story. Now youre gonna pay for that, breed! Red snarled. It can nae be undone.. We publish fiction, nonfiction, and poetry on a rolling basis. Shucked down to his long-underwear bottoms, Jason stretched out on his bed. What about intent? Perhaps their being so young contributed to what happened., He sighed, swirled the amber liquid around in his glass. Oh course not. Josh scrubbed wearily at his face as he heard the unmistakable tread of his oldest brother. He winked at Jason, Leave them for Joshua. I just have to talk to him.. I think they would have found a way to be happy. Josh propped himself up on his elbows. Maybe lets dont, the princess bride says. Is it because of that girls diary? Duncan pulled up a chair next to him. A breathtaking gift, one hed never expected from Aaron. Tried dirty tricks to steal our mountain? 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 . Hed used hate before to drive him to higher achievement. I thought you were Looking into his eyes, her giggles faded. Hed walked all the way up to Eagle Point. Hurry back.. Sorry, I didnt mean to be eavesdropping. He added another swallow to help it along, ignoring the tang of blood in his mouth. Aye. Duncan held up his hand, anticipating their questions. Its age was apparent, the edges worn smooth by handling. Ayell try., I know how much Father loved Momma. But I have to talk to someone, let this poison inside me out. Havent you gotten your pound of flesh yet?, What pound of flesh? Jason leaned on his desk, twisting to attempt to see his face. Why would I know why that man does anything? And how could he live with those emotions toward his own brother? Jeremy and Candy were finally together, flushed from a lively jig around the dance floor. Take it back! Red shook off the restraining hands. And somehow you got Wainwright to pay off on our contract. Immediately after their fathers death, Joe Wainwright tried to renege on his contract, saying the contract hed signed had been with Jonathan Bolt, not Jason or any other Bolt.

After a long sleepless night, Jason stormed into Aaron Stempels office without knocking. The last of his fury swept away in the wave of her sincere affection. Theres nothing to reconsider, Jason said, a gigantic grin on his face. Normally he could lose himself in the book of figures, could see those figures satisfying his plans and his plans fulfilling his dreams. Yeah, I'm trying to get back to writing again. I turned ditto-machine purple. Hed seen little of Uncle Duncan the last few days. Youre my brother and I think we all have to find some way to live with that., Aarons fist thumped down on his desk. I have not slept well myself, Duncan admitted in a murmur, swiping at the moisture in his eyes. Thoughts of her and the child have torn at me since I set foot on this land again. But we can undo some of the hurt our family has caused. Josh jerked his head around to find Jeremy standing just inside the tent. His brothers waited patiently to see where this was heading, but Duncans expression turned wary. I couldnt stand it if anything went wrong today., Nothing will go wrong, Jason promised with his whole heart.
