Both his brothers were bound to be upset. Please consider turning it on! I never would have guessed, but its Aaron you were talking about, isnt it?, Yes, Jason whispered. I tried, he acknowledged with a crooked grin. Gentle hurt/comfort (which, yes, Aaron had to be the one who was ailing, didn't he, since Jason already has more than enough people in his life who who'd have been happy to tend to his care) and pre-slash . Alone, hed made his mill a success. Jason couldnt resist a smile. Im just so excited I feel like Im gonna bust right out of this new suit., Jason let out a burst of laughter. How little of his origins did he really know? Only with his brothers or for his brothers had he ever been able to stand strong against the man. Dark smudges under red-rimmed eyes didnt enhance the image he presented. Of course, it had never happened and hed come to the realization that he wasnt important enough for anyone else to rescue. What the hell?, Peering over Aarons shoulder, Josh looked just as confused. Escorting Thompson out, Jason carefully kept his body between the two antagonists. He wanted only to get home and relax with a good meal but he had an errand to complete before he could. As Bolt disappeared into the gloom, Aaron clutched his knees to his chest and rested his head on them. That the lodge will be blessed with many children., The tradition says that the.damn, I cant remember what the name of it isanyway the carving is given to the bride by one of the grooms male relatives.

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.

The last of his fury swept away in the wave of her sincere affection. A sudden illness and advice from a friend makes Jason Bolt rethink his friendship with sawmill owner, Aaron Stempel. Shes looking at me, the groom. If he wasnt very careful he could end up walking off a damned cliff. Already he loves you even before youve met. How could he ask what he wanted without Lottie being able to guess what he was talking about? He ran with the futile hope of leaving all the fear and anger raging inside him behind. Backstory, plus answering the questions 1) Why do the Bolt Brothers look so different? Not good. Did she love him? Working his way across the room, Jason tried to get in position to keep an eye on Aaron without being obvious about it. Now be off with ye!. What left did he have to prove? 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. Well, Mr. Bolt, your logging operation appears to be more than adequate to supply the governments needs at this time.. Jeremy, what are you really here for?, Jeremy settled on the ground beside him. 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. In the previous week, the Bolts had done nothing to influence his decision. All you had on were shreds and let me tell you, they didnt hide anything. Why dont you just say the real reason?, Thompson settled himself deeper in Aarons chair. He hadnt needed the Bolt name or any Bolt help. Even without Thompsons blatant prejudice, Aaron would take anything to do with his mill personally. Jeremy came in and went up to the bar. If I read those books Im just inviting Bolt to kick me in the teeth again. Jon says we will stay here until the next moon. All the questions hed longed to ask Jonathan Bolt, but hadnt been able to because of the mans denial, bubbled up inside of him. Insulting the man because he was an arrogant jerk Jeremy could accept, even enjoy. Hes so angry and Im not sure why. His mothers diary had mentioned none of this. Now just let me alone.. Joshua leaned his chair back against the wall of the cabin he shared with his brothers. Joshua opened to the first page of the diary. About me. Would Stempels shadow obscure him completely from view? I cant. God, I feel guilty for being born. I dont know anybody who deserves it more., Against violence in general, this time Jeremy couldnt help but agree. Octavia and Vinyl Scratch start a life - and a family - together, much to Octavia's mother's disgu And did he only make it because he knew this was Stempels mother writing? My wife!

I know he wouldnt mind at all if you read them, seeing as you are needing to be close to him., Turning his hand over, Jason grasped the hand on top of his. Synopsis. Of all of Stempels devious plots and condescending attitudes, his heritage was the one thing Josh couldnt hold against him. She could nae have been much older than eighteen, but she had the strength and pride of a real lady., More! How can I accept a man like that as our brother?. What you have a right to., Aarons grin grew wolfish. Aaron couldnt deny hed enjoyed the evening of gentle gossip and good brandy. What end result do you want?, I want all my brothers to be a family together. He frowned at the obviousness of the question. How much I love him? Get help! Jeremy yelled at Candy as he plunged into the melee, hardly taking note of the combatants. He hoped the three bushwackers faces looked worse. Cmon, Jason. With a little effort, Jeremy wiggled the top free. The warmth from the brandy began to spread through his veins. Jeremy nodded a greeting as some of the brides exited the dormitory to wait for their own beaus. But try as he might, he couldnt unearth any of his usual enthusiasm for the books, the company or even the future. Now it hardly seemed to matter. A comfortable chair set a few feet away from him but tonight he chose to sit on the hard wood. Tilting his head up, she stared intently into his eyes. Well need that stand if Thompson decides to sign a contract with us., Is this Thompson deal whats been worrying you, lad?, Worried? Jasons eyebrows shot up. Dont know if we impressed the colonel, though. How do you do Aarons eyes widened as he glanced down at the mans insignia. Just something he said today. He was beginning to wonder if a person could die of frustration. I only want to give you your due. I vote no!". Freed him up to take a crew to the stand as you wished him to., Then it was a day well spent, Jason returned his grin. Couldnt you have given him a chance to explain?, He had his chance and he called me a liar. But it was a betrothal not of his own choosing. Bobby Sherman also recorded music and was a heart-throb back then, too. Aaron took a large gulp of brandy, not even bothering to pour it in a glass. And I just want you to know none of us would even think of holding the fact that youre half-Indian against you., To Jasons amazement, Aaron held his temper, though his tone was liberally laced with sarcasm. I said I wouldnt. I was in shock and scared and I denied him.

Then they started discussing - arguing about, really - one of the subjects that truly bothered Joshua. She truly did love your father and wanted what was best for him., We offered to raise the bairn as a proper Bolt. Oh, thered been lots of times hed badly wanted to plant his fist in the middle of the mans smirking grin. This is j-j-j-just so Im g-gonna take a w-w-walk., I think I w-will be, Jeremy smiled sadly. He says we will wait until we reach the land of his birth to have his peoples ritual to name our child. And Im no drunker than you are., Aaron blinked owlishly at Jason. May I sit? Candys eyes echoed the same startled confusion. So Im ready to listen to anything you have to say., His love for this woman swelled in his heart until he didnt think he could contain it. Yet you call yourself Stempel. Thompsons features twisted into a contemptuous sneer. But Jomyour father didnt have any family in America when he married my mother. 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. By all appearances, Thompson was enjoying the attention. Still, hunger gnawed at his belly. This is my second quiz about the TV show, "Here Come The Brides", that aired from 1968-70. Dont know why yet., Damned half-breed tryin to pass for white!

I have heard tales of some very unfriendly dealings Mr. Stempel has had with the Bolt brothers., Hes also risked his life to protect the Bolt brothers. Wherere Josh and Jeremy? he asked as he lifted the lid from the pot simmering on the stove. Because you wanted to hurt him as much as hed hurt you. Still ignoring him, Jason opened the book to the first page and started reading. He had to find his own way, so nae long after the betrothal, he left for America. She clamped a hand over Biddies mouth. The red-heads ax bit into the cedar with unusual vigor. I wasnt making fun of you. Despite all the reasons Aaron has to hate the Bolts, weve become friends, he and I., Truly? Duncans eyebrows rose. A part of him yearned toward that solution. I dont know what youre talkin about., Jason leaned against the wall, including both Josh and Stempel in his gaze. Nothing that wont heal. But the way he touched her, spoke to her and of her. Another swallow followed the first. He staggered as the concept hit him. It shouldnt be so important. Hed never been afraid of death. This couldnt possibly be true. He wouldnt allow himself to care. Besides, hed never lied about his heritage in the past and he wasnt about to begin now. Not me and Jeremy. Aaron Stempels still the same man we knew yesterday, and yet hes not. Waves sloshed against the pilings beneath them in an elemental rhythm. Aaron Stempel stood at the center of the skirmish, blood from his nose and torn lip dripping down onto his once pristine white shirt. Acts like I should be grateful to be called a Bolt! Two taps on the door and Reverend Adams poked his head inside. Hed been accused of loving the sound of his own voice before.

He wasnt that kind of man., I wishbut we cant wish away the truth, can we? Now I feel like the whole worlds been turned upside down., Aaron collapsed back into his chair. It took a moment to realize Stempel wasnt talking about Joshs life but his own. But Jason still had no idea where Aaron stood or which direction he would turn. Jason tried to look inconspicuous, but hed never been very good at fading into a crowd. Hes an arrogant, self-righteous, cold-hearted prig. Heavens, why would you want to know about Aarons mother?, He waved his hand vaguely. Im not. Jeremy raised his hands in peace, but stood his ground. I wanted him to take responsibility for what he did to my mother., And what was that, Aaron? I thought I knew who you were. But the thought of losing any of the mountain, Aaron reached over and slapped the back of Jasons curly head. See. His grin turned into a wince as he stretched his split lip.

What he felt he would have felt for any woman in her situation. Even his clothes - black suit without the usual accompanying brocade vest - looked gloomy. Jason and Aaron's conflict/friendship has always fascinated me. He squinted, trying to imagine Aaron Stempel as a baby. I suppose we are. The only thing he was concerned about was the scandal I might cause. He sank down in his chair with a groan. He never showed the slightest interest in the fate of my mother or what my life might have been like. I didnt tell them to jump Stempel!, Josh subsided, turning his palms up on the chairs arms. The figure inside the box had been carved with meticulous attention to detail. Jeremy knew Jason would do whatever he thought right no matter what his brothers said. Other than the urge to badger me, what brings you over here this time of day?, Yeah. Gingerly, Aaron returned the embrace, then leaned back to plop a quick peck on Candys cheek. Please, everyone. Youll never let me forget, will you? He swallowed hard before he could continue. I think you should read this, Jason held a book out to him. Winning his approval would mean a long-term contract with the United States Government. I dont think we have anything else to discuss. He toppled his desk on its ear. Jason sighed at their open, vulnerable expressions. But what about the inside? Jason recovered first. Candy's little brother and sister arrive in Seattle, but that's not the only excitement; Jeremy's ready to propose. What a wonderful story! He looked up at his uncle when the edge was off his hunger. Not Jason - that man pounded, he never just knocked. Now imagine what happens when it turns out that the reason Aaron Stempel's attention was never held by any of the brides isn't because of his surly and gruff personality, as everyone has always thought, but instead, it's because the only girl in Seattle who Aaron has any feelings for, also has feelings for him; however, the catch is that she just so happens to be the youngest Bolt sibling, Jemma. I wont ruin our chances by taking a punch at you. Blank confusion filled Aarons eyes as he peered into the small box. How could everything go so wrong so quickly with so little warning? You g-g-g-got the r-ring? Jeremy asked Josh, who would be acting as his best man. I keep thinking about what Bolt said about Mr. High-and-Mighty-millowner., Oh, Billy scratched at his sweat-soaked shirt. The mountain!? And I know you need to talk about this. For an instant he thought to deny the charge of having Indian blood. Bolt. The millowner looked pleased with himself, as well as more than a little drunk. He even seemed to be enjoying their competition as much as Jason. The need to give vent to his rage sent him storming across the room. This is for you. Jonathan Bolt was your father, too! Jason matched him for volume. With a vague nod, Josh shuffled off toward the office tent. What little hed learned from Aaron had only served to confuse him further. This was such a great read! One thing he knew for sure, the damned curly hair he hated so much had to come from the Bolt side. Hed hoped Jason would volunteer the information he needed, but it looked like his brother was going to force him to ask. None of the other loggers had approached him since his arrival before dawn; the scowl on his face warned them away. This lightens my heart some, but I still long to be back with the women who have been birthing babies in my tribe for more seasons than I have been alive. How many times as a child had he sustained himself with the love apparent in his mothers diary and the idea that somewhere there was a father who would love him if only he could find that father? He took another slug of brandy in an attempt to mute the confusion of feelings welling up in him. Had nothin to do with jealousy., Jason stepped quietly behind the millowner. Admiring the smile hed cause, he leaned in to steal a kiss. I know it goes against your nature, but take things slow. Setting down his fork, Jason closed his eyes briefly.

Why?, Jason sighed deeply, wanting to reach out but knowing Aaron would accept no comfort from him. The millowner had never been the life of a party but neither had he ever hid himself in a corner speaking only when dragged into a conversation. Well, he could have hoped that Thompson would have given them some indication of what his decision would be, but the colonel was exceptionally closed-mouth. That is, how he should daily demonstrate how grateful he was by instant obedience to everything she wanted of him and how he should be properly humble and prove that he knew his place in the scheme of things by groveling before anyone who was his better. But if it hadnt been for me blowing off in camp, Jason slid down the wall until their eyes were level. Just close the damned thing, he told himself. Had his fight for respectability been all for nothing? But the other option would have been equally hurtful. Shes very upset, you know., Jeremy echoed the sigh. Remember Im the one who has to approve your contract with the government. After that, Joshua will show you our books.. A hearty laugh escaped Jason.

Theres nothing worse than being an outsider to your own family. Misty blue eyes lifted to his. His breath hissing between his teeth, he settled back against a rock ledge, trying to let the sounds of the sea beneath him soothe his jangled thoughts.
