Chapter 7
Edward arrived at the hospital he found Bella, she told him Tanya was getting a D&C done. As soon as she said that he knew, Tanya had been pregnant and lost the baby. They had been together just three weeks ago; she probably didn't even know she was pregnant yet.
"Is she okay?" he asked.
"She's very sad," Bella replied.
Hell, she was sad too.
"Edward, something else is going on because Tanya didn't know she was pregnant yet," she stated the obvious and Edward agreed with her...
Tanya didn't spend much time in the hospital as the pregnancy wasn't far along. She recovered fairly quickly from the D&C. Edward was asked to be at her post-surgery follow-up appointment, and Tanya asked Bella to be there too, besides her family they were the only other people she trusted right now.
"Dr. Hunter, why are we here?" Edward asked.
"Last year when Tanya miscarried I told you I was suspicious," Edward nodded.
"I ran some tests when Tanya miscarried this time and came to a conclusion," she said.
Tanya grasped both Bella and Edward's hands, she was scared of what the doctor had found.
"The miscarriage before this one happened after you told your family right?" The doctor asked.
They all nodded, "what do you remember from that day?" she asked Tanya.
Edward was getting upset, he wanted to know what was going on. Tanya pointed out everything that she recalled from that horrid day, the doctor took notes as she talked.
"Okay, so your last miscarriage was caused by the tea you drank," Dr. Hunter said.
"WHAT!" Edward and Tanya exclaimed at the same.
"But it didn't taste any different!" Tanya pointed out.
"That's because whoever made the tea or changed your herbs didn't add sage and oregano or pennyroyal," the doctor explained.
"Is that what was put on my tea?" Bella asked.
"Yes," the doctor replied.
"But I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that whoever poisoned Isabella didn't want her to just miscarry. They were trying to kill her; she shouldn't even be alive with the amount of pennyroyal that she ingested. Isabella Cullen, you are a miracle," Dr. Hunter added.
"Tanya's abortive tea herbs were kept under the mint family, which is why she didn't notice the difference," the doctor explained.
"Is that what happened this time?" Edward asked.
"No," the doctor said.
"Then what the hell happened?" Edward asked exasperated.
"Tanya did you bring the pill bottle I asked you to bring?" she asked her.
Tanya quickly gave her the bottle, the doctor opened it and spilled the contents on a small tray on her desk.
"Care to explain?" Edward asked.
"Tanya's treatment pills were changed," she said.
"What?" Tanya asked her voice quivering.
"Exchanged! With what?" Edward demanded.
"Birth control," Dr. Hunter said.
Time stood still at the doctor's revelation.
"How did that affect me?" Tanya asked.
