As he listened to Lukes exploits, Jason saw the awe in Joshuas eyes. Aaron Stempel was punctual to a fault, and even if he had decided to take a day off, he would have sent his foreman word. "Hey Luna! You shouldnt be out in this weather, Aaron., Aaron scowled as he finished his correspondence and sealed it, ready for the mail.

You dont tell and live., Joshua slumped down in a nearby chair and looked down at his hands. Aaron hadnt been that short with him in nearly a year, not since the bet had been settled. As Joshua set a small wooden box down on the bed, he felt the mood suddenly change in the bunkhouse. After the door closed behind him, Jason took a drink and stared across the room. I know Im the cause of tension between your brothers., Jeremy visibly relaxed and faced Luke. What?, The sleeping prince awakens, Jason said with a smile.

Stempel! I just figured I should forget about them. You left it here? Jason asked in disbelief.

On a supply errand to Tacoma, Joshua comes upon a most beguiling teacher, while in Seattle, a stranger is trying to sabotage a large, new contract for the Bolt Brothers. *g*), And Lotte-as-matchmakershe's a natural for that role (of course), utterly tough and caring when it comes to getting Aaron and Jason to take those first tentative steps towards partnership (defined however you like). What do you do for fun around here?, We go to Lotties. I left it right on the, Joshua said motioning on the table. Jason was helpless as Joshua stalked away deep in his own thoughts.

Luke could saw Joshua start to lower his rifle. Luke straightened when he saw Joshua approaching them. How much card-playing goes on here after work?, Corky shrugged his shoulders. Will he ever find his way home?

He shut the door and set the pot down on the nearest surface, then returned to the stricken mans side. It was on the table where he left it., Luke licked his dry lips before answering. Jeremy sat in the middle of the room next to Candy nervously shifting in his seat. I wouldve been found guilty and you know it, Corrigan., We lost the payroll when everyone came back early. Work Search: Hes going to need some careful nursing for the next few days, though..

Ill be there in a minute, Joshua told Jason. Shut up, Lewis! Now, boys, just settle down. Corrigan cut the ropes on Lukes wrists. On his own in San Francisco, Joshua Bolt seems to have found his niche managing the family's business interests in California. How does your head feel? Joshua asked pointing at the bruise on Lukes cheek. Two such men, spending so much time togetherpeople might talk., So they might, given that one of them is grouchy and unsociable in general talk about how tolerant his friend is to put up with him. We argue all the time., Like cats and dogs, Lottie agreed. Like an old married couple, he heard Lotties voice say mockingly inside his head. Only leave if you really want to, not because of my problems with Jason., Joshua smiled softly at Luke, glad to know that his friend could read him as well.

Listen to you. He saw a pretty young Chilean woman sitting at a desk. Youve got an audience.. He worked hard and always had a tale or two for me and the lads. I love how you develop the relationship, pointing out what the two men have in common, and I totally love how sensibly Lottie comments on everything. While we've done our best to make the core functionality of this site accessible without javascript, it will work better with it enabled. Land sakes, woman! Clancey exclaimed loudly. I promise Ill go home and take it easy.. Im glad youre here for him.. Luke, Ill be shoving off day after tomorrow for Alaska. Jason had seen Joshuas friendship with Luke grow.

No one. Given that, there wasnt much else he could do but head down to the saloon, find an isolated table, and brood over a few drinks. Joshua met Biddie at the doorway of the jailhouse as she was leaving. He could get Aaron put to rights and then fetch the doctor, but he was reluctant to leave the man alone while in such a state.

The men were probably up on the mountain Clancey had told him about. So instead of heading down to the saloon at the end of the day, he strolled over to Aarons house. Ill move on and itll settle, No, Joshua said firmly. Jason thinks youre going to lead me down the road of debauchery., Luke couldnt help but grin. Lottie, You may have most of the people in this town fooled, dont fool me one bit, Aaron Stempel, she said, but her voice was gentler than usual. He ached to know everything there was about the world, while Luke had already experienced much of it. After the wedding of the hundredth bride, Jason and Aaron have a conversation. Luke quickly got to his feet and gave Corrigan a hard kick in the stomach.

Not just any man can do it., Luke gave him a crooked grin. Joshua breathed a sigh of relief and reached for his coat. Lottie even stopped by., Joshua rested his hand on the bars and looked seriously at Luke. She examined him carefully, taking his pulse, listening to his lungs, peering down his throat, and taking his temperature.

Your Honor, I have something to say., Do you have something to add to the charges, Mr. Bolt?, Joshua approached the judge.

She turned to Joshua. Please consider turning it on! A small fire.

No one spoke as the men left the jail. Or gruel!, Biddy rolled her eyes. I thought hed be up here, chomping at the bit about our delivery., Sam grinned at that but shook his head. It was not as easy to keep his interest in the proceedings clinical and detached, and by the time he had Aaron tucked back under the covers, he was flushed and in need of a distraction. Lottie means a lot to people around here. 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. Yes, sir. He had a good feeling about Luke and he looked forward to getting to know the man better. Find me on Pillowfort or Dreamwidth or Tumblr or Youtube to follow my work. <3, And aw, go Lottie, for giving them both the little push they needed. What I said earlier outside the jail, I didnt mean, Joshua, you were right.

This shouldnt take long. Joshua was almost out of the tent when he hesitated. I thought you were handling the payroll?.

Its between me and him. Someone saw you go into the tent and stay after I left. Jason, Ive been a lot of places and have seen a lot of things, Lottie said. 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 (truthfully, the tone of the series means that fanfic probably wouldn't read much like canon if it included graphic sex of either the m/m or m/f persuasion, unless we're talking about an epic (althoughfeel free to write a 100,000 word story in January!). One look at his wifes face reveals the truth. Havent seen Mr. Stempel yet this morning, but he didnt say anything about going into town today when we talked last night.. You are remarkably complacent about the idea of such a friendship, he commented. Here Come The Brides; Tricks of Fate AprilDWade (AprilDWade71) Summary: Seattle finds itself anxiously awaiting the event that no one thought would ever take place; Jason Bolt's wedding, especially considering the bride is Julie Stempel. He looked sturdy enough.

Aaron rolled his eyes at him, then winced when the movement made his head hurt. Once in a while theres a change, but its usually always the same group. Ive done my share of debauching. His look grew more serious.

Alice Shields came to Seattle with the other brides to get away from her monstrous step-father, hoping to leave her past behind. Sure, I would. Theyll wonder because I was in prison before., Josh, even the most well-meaning of people will think the worst., Luke nodded. The judge arrived a few days later. Your honor, Mr. Simon is innocent., All men are innocent until proven guilty, Mr. Bolt., Yes, Your Honor. But Mitchell isnt playing cards as much as he used to.. Mr. They were brothers and he blamed himself for their divide.

He turned to see a man stepping out of a tent on the far side of the camp and watched as the tall blond took a pot from the fire and poured hot coffee into a tin cup. I thought we agreed we would discuss hiring new men first., Joshua stabbed at the food with his fork avoiding the purposeful stare of his older brother. She set it down in front of Jason and sat in the chair next to him. He froze at not seeing it where he left it. Jason whirled to Joshua with blazing eyes. The remainder of the night was spent with both men sharing stories and laughter.

This drifter wants me to apologize., Nervous laughter spread across the room and Joshua stepped up. When I was sixteen, I signed up on a ship as a cabin boy. When nothing turned up, Jason motioned to his brothers. Yes, four couples got married during the course of the show. How did you find me?, I noticed a couple of horses missing and I ran into one of Aarons and they told me about the break-in at the mill. The men turned to where Jeremy was. Manning, I owe you a drink for helping me stack those crates last week. They would have already gotten away, Jeremy pointed out. Please imagine that Stempel's nephew is played by guest star young Paul Michael Glaser. Two local girls, pre-teens, believe that a newborn baby who arrived on Christmas Day is in danger of meeting the The captain couldnt help but immediately like the young man. Since when can you read me so well?, Luke took a deep breath and looked into Joshuas eyes. Dont want anyone having cause to think otherwise. Many nights, he had awakened to Joshuas footsteps in the early morning hours, and he knew why his brother was out so late. I need you to run back to town and fetch Dr. Wright as quickly as possible..
