the Clint-Natasha story is almost a reverse of Jo-Laurie. Clint brings Natasha in from the cold
Aww, yeah! That was the one thing I liked about his sudden Old McBarton background, that Laura was going to name her kid after Natasha and she's "Auntie Nat."
Jo does that with Bhaer too -- that's the ending of the story before the time jump: that was the crowning moment of both their lives, when, turning from the night and storm and loneliness to the household light and warmth and peace waiting to receive them, with a glad “Welcome home!” Jo led her lover in, and shut the door. (The March family keeps assimilating the outsider men....)
