Chapter 14: How Do I live without you

Mulan was in the waiting room at the doctors, waiting patiently for them to tell her that she could see Shang. She had traveled all night just to get to the doctors. She wanted to see Shang so bad, right after Wang had told her that he was all right and that some how he made it because of her. She blushed at the thought that she had made Shang live just by telling him that she needed him and that she loved him.

The doctor approached her and stood right in front of her waiting for her to react and look up, she did and he smiled, "You may see him now, but he is asleep." He turned around and headed down the hallway with Mulan right behind him.

He stopped and slowly opened the door he moved out of the way for Mulan and let her in. She grew sad seeing Shang lay in bed looking so weak and defeated. The doctor closed the door behind her to give her some privacy. She walked up quietly to Shang and stared down at him. He was pale from the loss of so much blood and his wounds were treated again and all bandaged up. She found herself a seat and sat down right next to him and waited.

There was a strand of his hair on his face so she decided to move it, she gently with her fingers picked it up and moved it to the side of his face. As she was about to remove her fingers from the lock of hair his hand immediately grabbed hers making her jump. She looked at him and his eyes were now looking around the area, he must have had a bad dream or something because he was breathing in and out fiercely. "It's ok, Shang I'm here."

Shang lowered his head down in the pillow, and then glanced at Mulan who was sitting right next to him. "Sorry I didn't know you were there."

"It's ok; you just scared me at first when you put your hand on mine." She explained. "Bad dream?" She asked.

He sighed, "Yeah, I didn't mean to scare you." He apologized.

" What was it about?" She wondered but unsure if he would tell her or not incase it was embarrassing or not.

He sighed then looked at her, "Well I was fighting Shan Tao and he had you in his arms with his sword ready to strike you. So basically I took him down but I didn't notice this other Hun that had shot his arrow right at you. I ran over to you and you were already......dead....I picked you up thinking that we might have still had a chance but we were then surrounded by both Huns and Mongolians. And that's when I woke up."

Mulan looked at him a bit embarrassed that he dreamt of her. Her checks began to glow a ting of red. She placed her hand to cup Shang's face. He took his and put it on hers. The warmth of his hand made her feel warm but yet she had tingles up her spine. She didn't know how to react to the touch and the quietness between them. They smiled at each other. "I thought I almost lost you." He whispered.

She shook her head, "I'm here, and nothing is going to happen" She then leaned in and kissed him on the cheek for a sign of affection and a promise that she was alright and that both of them would be ok. He was speechless at first but then warmed up to the soft touch that she had left on his cheek. "I'm glad your ok" she said.

"So am I" They both began to chuckle. "Thank you for everything that you have done for me, Mulan"

"For what?" Stupid question, she knew what he meant. He eyed her in a way that meant that she knew what he was talking about.

"For saving me, for being a loyal friend and for being for who you are." He paused; "I love you for that, Mulan." He brushed his hand up against Mulan's cheek and brought her close to him, he placed his lips on hers and kissed her with passion. The kiss was short but worth it. They parted and smiled at one an other. Then a sharp pain suddenly came upon Shang, with surprise. He groaned of pain.

"Oh my god are you ok?" She asked worried.

"No....I'm ok." He laid back down, gritting his teeth while doing so. Mulan got quick with thought and sat down next to him on his bed. She removed the blankets to check his wound. "What are you doing?" He asked.

"I'm checking your wound what does it look like?" She carefully examined the wound with the bandages on, but it seemed to be nothing wrong, no bleeding or anything. "You ok now?"

"Yeah I think so." With that she placed the covers back on him like a mother would do for her child as if he were going to sleep. She was about to sit back down in her chair when Shang patted a pot on his bed for her to sit. He moved to the side of the bed giving her enough room to come and sit next to him.

She sat down next to him, both sat upright on the bed. There was a cold breeze that came into the room making Mulan shiver a bit. Shang noticed this, "Are you cold?" He asked, holding out some of the blanket in front of her waiting to see if she wanted some or not.

"I'm ok, you need it." She said giving an excuse. Shang smiled, he knew that she was cold but to embarrassed to get under the same blanket with him.

"Here" He placed some of the blanket on her. She didn't know what to do at first but decided not to fight about it and leave it on. She felt rather uncomfortable though sharing the same blanket in the same bed. But kept her thoughts clear and told herself that he only cared.

Shang looked at her noticing that she didn't look comfortable sitting there in the same bed as him, "Don't be nervous I'm not going to do anything to you." Mulan was surprised a bit that he could tell how she felt. She felt stupid.

She gave him a half smile, "Sorry; it's just that.....Well...."

Shang placed his hand in the air for her to stop, "I know...you don't have to tell me." He paused and examined her from head to toe while she began to play with her hair. He noticed her hair and how it shined, he began to stroke her hair, not even caring about the law. They weren't even supposed to be this close to one another. But he didn't care. "Are you even going to look at me or what? I promise you I won't do anything."

She turned to face him and smiled, she was now blushing deep red, "I'm sorry." Shang still stroked her hair feeling the texture and softness of it. He noticed that she began to calm down and warm up to him which made him sigh of relief. All he wanted was for Mulan to be comfortable around him.

"So what have you been up to lately?" He asked breaking the silence between them.

"Oh...nothing much really, I've just been worried sick about you!"

Shang laughed, "Sorry......I didn't mean to keep you worried."

"It's ok, but don't do it again!" She warned him. "So do they let you out of here, and walk around?"

"No! I can barely walk because I'm so weak from the wounds."

"Oh....I was just wondering if you wanted to get out of here and take a walk or something."

"I would but the Emperor saw me yesterday and my conditions and told the doctors specifically to not let me out of bed. So I'm stuck here."

"That sucks!"

"Well it's not all that bad, I mean I'm now in here with the most beautiful girl, that I've ever met in my life."

"Shang......" She blushed, she felt so touched. "Stop it."

"Sorry but I couldn't help it." He chuckled, making Mulan giggle with embarrassment. "So when are you aloud to go home?"

He sighted, "I think they said about a week." Shang then found himself staring at her once again, but this time deep in her eyes. He wanted to ask her something but worried that he didn't disserve her and that she might reject him. "Mulan?....." He whispered, but load enough for her to hear him.

"Yes"

"Um....I was wondering...Well you know how I told you that I didn't want to lose you and all that?" He paused, "Well...Um...I love you and I wanted....to ask you.....If you would be my....wife?" He waited for Mulan's response, whether it was good or bad, but he prayed that she would except his offer.

Mulan's felt her cheeks warm up and her heart race now. She wanted to hear those words from him, from so long. "Yes......" She smiled, "I will....." She began to laugh with happiness. Shang smiled.

He leaned in and kissed her, she wrapped her arms around him and let him kiss her more deeply. Shang too had his arms around her. When they separated they both gasped for air. Mulan kept her arms around as she leaned on him, resting her head on his chest. He stroked her hair continuously, enjoying the closeness between them. They were finally together, and nothing would stop them from getting married.

~Song by LeeAnn Rimes, 'How Do I Live Without you'~

How do I,
Get through one night without you?
If I had to live without you,
What kind of life would that be?
Oh, I need....
I need you in my arms, need you to hold,
You're my world, my heart, my soul,
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything good in my life,
And tell me now
How do I live without you?
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?
Without you,
There'd be no sun in my sky,
There would be no love in my life,
There'd be no world left for me.
And I,
Baby I don't know what I would do,
I'd be lost if I lost you,
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything real in my life,
And tell me now,
How do I live without you?
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?
Please tell me baby,
How do I go on?
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything,
I need you with me,
Baby don't you know that you're everything,
Real in my life?
And tell me now,
How do I live without you,
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?
How do I live without you?
How do I live without you baby?
