Author's Note: This story takes place after Mulan 2, which I do not own. I also do not own the song 'If Tomorrow Never Comes' it belongs to Garth Brooks. I would like to thank Outlaw's Daughter for beta reading for me.

It was late at night, and Li Shang was laying in bed with his new wife, Fa Mulan; well, now it was Li Mulan.

"Li Mulan. I like the sound of that," Shang said, smiling. Then he looked over at Mulan, who was fast asleep.

She had a small smile on her face, and was facing him. Shang smiled at her, and then leaned over to give her a light kiss on her forehead, careful not to wake her. Afterwards, he got up and put out the candle, then he returned back to bed and continued to watch her sleep, as best as he could in the dark.

Sometimes late at night

I lay awake and watch her sleeping

She's lost in peaceful dreams

So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark

Then a horrible thought hit Shang, what if he died in his sleep? What if he never woke up in the morning? Granted, that was not very likely to happen, but he knew he was going to die someday. What about Mulan? Would she know how much he cared for her and loved her?

If I never wake in the morning

Would she ever doubt the way I feel

About her in my heart

If tomorrow never comes

Will she know how much I loved her

Had he done all he could everyday to show Mulan how much he loved her and that she was the only one he ever love?

Mulan was a strong woman, there was no doubt about that, but after he died would she be all right raising any future children of theirs on her own, even as strong as she was?

Did I try in every way to show her every way

That she's my only one

And if my time on earth were though

And she must face this world without me

Is the love I gave her in the past

Gonna be enough to last

If tomorrow never comes

Shang thought about his father and how he never even got to tell him that he loved him before he died. But at least Shang knew he had died with honor. Still, he would do almost anything if he could just tell his father one time how he felt about him.

'Cause I've lost loved ones in life

Who never knew how much I loved them

Now I live with the regret

That my true feelings for them never were revealed

So right then and there, Shang made a promise to himself to show more love to Mulan then he was even doing right now and tell her everyday how much he loved her, so that when he did die she would know how she meant to him. Then when they had children, he decided he would tell them to show everybody they loved as much love as a person possibly can.

So I made a promise to myself

To say each day how much she means to me

And avoid that circumstance

Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel

If tomorrow never comes

Will she know how much I loved her

Did I try in every way to show her every day

That she's my only one

And if my time on earth where though

And she must face the world without me

Is the love I gave her in the past

Gonna be enough to last

If tomorrow never comes

So, tell that someone that you love

Just what you're thinking of

If tomorrow never comes
