Chapter 11
Mulan began to faint, not just from the pain but the blood loss also
"Ping, hold on...hold on." Shang told her in a soft voice
Mulan was moved to a doctor's tent. Once she was in the tent and had only her training shirt on, She happened to wake up, but her pain had gotten worse, and it was forming in between her legs.
"The baby!" Mulan whispered to herself.
Mulan was hoping nothing was wrong with the baby.
The doctor came into the tent, "What's happening to me?" Mulan asked as a jolt of pain hit her.
"Why, you happen to be in labor." The doctor said kindly
"What? But it wasn't supposed to come for another month and no one..."
"Don't worry, your captain has already told me you are female..." The doctor told Mulan," And I told him what is wrong with you also, he seemed very surprised when I told him though, it was like he never knew you were pregnant or something." The doctor laughed a little.
"What?" Mulan asked, but all of the sudden a gush of water came out of her.
"It looks like this baby wants to see the world now." The doctor said kindly and he placed her legs in the delivering position.
Mulan began to worry, "Now, Mulan is it, next time you feel pain, take a deep breath and fight against it, ok" The doctor said in a gentle tone.
Mulan nodded. She began to feel pain again, and pushed against it. Mulan used all the energy she could.
"Ok, good job, now I need you to push again and your babies head should be out."
Mulan pushed harder, and the baby's head came out
"Ok a few more times."
Mulan nodded and Pushed, she wanted to scream so badly, but she didn't want Shang to worry anymore.
"Ok one big Push!"
Mulan pushed as hard as she could, and felt the baby leave her body.
Mulan plopped down on the pillow behind her head when she knew her job was done.
Mulan was relived when she heard the baby crying, "Congratulations, you're a mother!" the doctor said as he cleaned the baby.
Mulan had tears of joy running down her face, when the doctor handed her the baby, her baby boy.
Mulan looked to her side and grabbed her green scarf from her armor, and wrapped her little boy in it, to keep him warm. She kissed his fore head and hugged him.
"My small solder...My baby Ping" Mulan told him quietly.
