*Oh no! I forgot to look at all of my research and I just realized I made a big mistake! At this time in history, Zhang He was still aligned with Yuan Shao! It was not until the year 200 that Guan Du happened and Zhang He joined Cao Cao. Forgive me for my mistake. I'll just have to continue on through it.*

"A child?" Fei fell into a seat. Cao Cao's personal messenger nodded. "This must be a joke! Da Qiao is already with child?"

"Yes Lady Hanna. It is true." Hanna slumped dejectedly in her chair. She waved the messenger off. He bowed and left.

Zhang He strolled into the room, sitting down beside his wife. "So Sun Ce's wife is with child? This… must be hard on you."

Fei looked over at the man who sat beside her and smiled. "So much time has passed since my life in Wu. I have been here almost a year now, have I not?"

He nodded. "Yes. Almost a year."

"The old life is over, long gone. My life is here now, with you." Fei looked lovingly at her surroundings. "A child," she whispered, "What if I had a child?" She chuckled to herself. "How would things change?"

"Hanna? Are you saying-" He's eyes were wide. "Do you wish to have a child?"

Fei laughed. "It is quite a crazy idea, is it not? A swollen belly might affect my fighting speed."

"Hanna! If you were with child there is no way I could allow you to battle! And you are so young!"

"So then, are you denying me a child?" Fei rose defiantly. She had originally been joking, but with the chance He might say no, she rose to the challenge.

He laughed. "Of course not, my love." He stood and kissed her. "I think it is a wonderful idea. I have thought about it often, I have just always been afraid you would not want a child. Can you imagine it though? The combination of our beauty into one life."

The way he spoke of it and the way his eyes softened made Fei know she could never deny him this. It made her realize just how much she loved him and just how much she would give to make him happy. "He?"

He kissed her again. When Fei opened her eyes and looked at him he was aglow with such happiness and light. She smiled and wrapped her arms around him. At that moment, she did not care about having his child or not, she just wanted to be with him. She wanted to be enveloped by his love. She just wanted him.

"So, are we really going to do this?" He grinned. "Are we going to risk everything and have a child together?"

Fei smiled. "I would like nothing more."

The couple did indeed try to have a child. For a time, few battles were fought. This gave them more time to focus on getting their family started, but they struggled. Everything seemed fine, but nothing happened.

"There must be something wrong," He muttered, defeated, one day. "Perhaps we are not meant to have a child."

"He, my love! Do not say such things! These things simply take time. I am young, remember. It may take some time."

"You are the same age as Da Qiao. You are in your seventeenth year. You are surely able to have a child by now. It must be something wrong with me."

Fei smiled and wrapped her arms around He's waist. "Everything is fine. We simply must be patient. For all we know, I could be with child right now."

"Maybe we should just give it some time," He said. "Perhaps we should stop trying for a while."

Fei's heart sunk a little. Quietly, she nodded. "Yes. Maybe that is best."

A month passed before they did try again. They did not have high hopes at first, but as weeks passed, Fei's hope rose.

"He!" she squealed one day. "It has been two weeks."

It seemed to take a moment for that to register in He's mind. He sorted through the meanings of those words until it hit him. "You mean…?"

Fei nodded. "I think this time is it!"

He laughed with such joy. He ran to his wife, picked her up, and spun her around, kissing her. "Truly? You think so?"

"Yes! It must be!"

It was the year 200, the new century was upon them. It made sense that a new century would bring this luck. They celebrated.

The happiness was short-lived. Approximately a week later, Fei found herself lost within a nightmare. She was running from some sort of beast. The world was black and seemingly empty. There was only Fei and the beast.

Fei cried out for help but it never came. She continued to run but was going nowhere.

Suddenly, she tripped over something. She felt around to see what it was and discovered it was a body. She struggled in the darkness to make out the figure lying beneath her.

Then, the world suddenly became light. She could see again. She looked behind her and discovered there was no beast anymore. Then she looked beneath her. She jumped up and screamed, for it was the body of Sun Ce beneath her. In his arms was cradled a newborn child, covered in blood and completely motionless. Perhaps the daughter was his own newborn daughter.

Then, she found herself spinning. "Hanna!" A voice called, so familiar. Her eyes flew open and her scream cut off. He sat beside her, shaking her awaking, calling out her name.

She could not speak. She buried her head into He's shoulder and cried. "Hanna," his voice was a whimper. "You… There's blood everywhere."

Hanna tore her face from He's shoulder and looked down. He was right. The bed sheets were soaked in red. She had had a miscarriage. "Oh no." She gasped, realizing the dream had been a sign. Something suddenly came to her attention then. "Ce! My brother! Is he okay? No! He must be dead!"

She could not help herself. She burst into tears, shaking with fear, pain, and loss.

It was two days later that word they received word that Sun Ce had died. Sun Quan succeeded him, becoming the new ruler of Wu. Fei had thought her past life was gone and could no longer affect her, but she found herself so shaken with grief so could not speak.

Her first love, her brother, was gone. He was dead, and he had died believing she was dead as well. Anger welled up within her. She swore she would make Cao Cao pay somehow. She decided then that she must take revenge, no matter what.
