Title: Be Careful What You Wish For

Author: Kactus Wrynn

Rating: T

Pairing: TonyxBella

Summary: The last thing she remembered was making a wish on a falling star, 'I wish I was somewhere I could heal, no matter how broken I am', now the only thing going through her head was"How on Earth did I get from the meadow in Forks to an empty lot in New York?"

Disclaimer: If you recognize anything, I don't own it

Night had fallen and she still had no idea what had happened. She was wondering aimlessly around because the only thing in her pocket were her matches, she had nothing else. She turned down a street, resolving to wander until she dropped while looking for a place to stay the night and maybe figure out what to do next.

"Are you lost miss?" She turned in surprise, coming out of her thoughts and finding herself looking at an elderly couple.

"Miss?" The elderly woman was the one who'd spoken with a thick unrecognizable accent and a plan started forming in her head, maybe wishing on stars wasn't so silly.

"Yes I am and I'm afraid I don't know where I am, who I am or even how I got here." The elderly couple looked genuinely worried, and she felt just a little guilty for lying, but she pushed the guilt aside, something told her she wouldn't be returning to Forks anytime soon.

"Well, the only thing I can answer for you is that you're in New York, New York. Do you need a place to stay? My wife and I have a spare room." He had the same unrecognizable accent as the woman. This couple reminded her of Carlisle and Esme, but amazingly enough, it didn't bother her. The woman was nodding enthusiastically and smiling warmly at her.

"Thank you, but I don't want to intrude and I'd hate to be a bother. I also don't have any money." That was such a lie; she desperately wanted to intrude especially if it meant a warm bed and a nice hot shower but she really had no money, the only thing in her pockets were a pack of juicy fruit, cherry chap stick, and the box of matches.. The elderly woman was still smiling as she quickly shook her head.

"Oh you won't be a bother at all! And you don't need to pay us anything. And maybe, my husband and I can help you figure out what happened. Oh please come and stay with us? It isn't safe for a pretty girl like you to be wandering around New York, especially by yourself! Oh and where are my manners? My name is Bethany and this is my husband Thomas." Bella looked at them and slowly nodded her head,

"OK, I'll stay with you if you really want me to." Bethany beamed and her husband smiled slightly.

"Well come on little filly, we should get you to the house, you're a mess!" Bella blinked at her words but started following after Bethany with Thomas behind her.

-Scene Change-

Twenty minutes and three bus rides later they arrived at a small house that seemed strangely out of place in the middle of New York. Bethany noticed her look and spoke,

"I know it's not much, but its home. The spare room is actually the attic. Follow me, ok? That's the living room, that's the den and that's the kitchen. Mine and Thomas' room is down the hall." Bella quietly followed behind her and made a mental note of where everything was after Thomas unlocked the door. As they headed up the stairs, Bella tripped and stumbled up into Bethany's back. Bethany laughed and caught her arm, and Bella blushed and thought 'I cannot believe I tripped up the stairs.'

"Come on filly, let's get you to bed, you're clearly more tired than you look." Bella just nodded in agreement and let Bethany lead her up the stairs.

"You should take a bath, I'll run one for you and you can get cleaned up, then you're going to eat something and go to bed, alright?"

"Yes, thank you Bethany, you're a very kind person." Bethany smiled at her and then went to the bathroom, moments later, Bella heard the water start. She sat down on the single mattress and just waited, in what seemed like no time at all, Bethany was coming back into the room and letting her now the bath was ready. Ten minutes after Bella had gotten in the tub, Bethany had knocked on the door and told her clothes were waiting on the bed and she was making dinner so it should be ready when Bella got out. When Bella finally got out an hour and half later she felt much better and muscles she hadn't realized were aching felt much better. She went over to the bed with a towel wrapped around her and a smaller towel wrapped around her hair and found a pair of blue plaid pajama pants and a plain blue gray t-shirt with an unopened pack of underwear and a bra that still had the tags attached on top of them. She dried off and put the clothes on and was combing her hair out with the brand new comb waiting on the small dresser when Bethany came in with a plate full of food.

"How're you feeling filly?" She asked handing Bella the plate and then sitting behind her and beginning to braid Bella's hair.

"Much better, thank you. This looks delicious, by the way. Oh and thank you for the clothes."

"Well good, I want you to eat as much of that as you can, you're too thin. And you're welcome" Bethany said as she finished braiding Bella's hair and then tied it off with a hair tie.

"When you're done, just take your plate down to the kitchen and then I want you to get some sleep, alright?"

"Yes ma'am." Bella replied with a small smile and then happily started eating the meal as Bethany left the room. She was only able to finish half the plate and the glass of milk Bethany had brought up before she was full. She carried the dishes down to the kitchen that Bethany had pointed out on the way to the attic. She scraped the plate and rinsed it and the cup out and then set them in the sink before heading to the den where Thomas and Bethany were sitting and reading. She paused at the doorway and then said goodnight and got a goodnight from Thomas and a sleep well from Bethany. She was more than happy to crawl into bed and fall asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

-Scene Change-

In the den

"We're going to take care of her, aren't we Tom?" Bethany asked quietly.

"Until we can find out who she is and where she belongs." He replied just as quietly.

"And if we never find out who she is and where she belongs?"

"Then I'll call in a favor from Nick, we'll get her set up with a new identity."

"If she agrees to it, can we make her our daughter Tom?"

"If she agrees to it. What name do you have in mind?"

"How about Isabella Clarie Dupree?"

"She won't take the place of our daughter Bethany, but if she agrees to it she can have that name."

"OK. I'm tired Tom, let's go to bed now?"

He didn't answer, he just pulled himself up from his chair and then helped her up from hers, and silently they headed to bed, each thinking of the girl asleep upstairs.

A/N: Ok so, my sister convinced (read: threatened) me to continue and also helped me to decide the pairing, it's going to be TonyxBella because we think they'd be good for each other. I'd like opinions on this chapter please?
