***Sorry no update in weeks. I've been sick and had a sprained finger, causing me to not be able to type.
In the morning, I woke up stretching before looking around the tent. "Morning darling." Shang said, with a smile, sitting beside me. "Hey. Good morning." I said, sitting up. "How did you sleep?" Shang asked. "I slept well, thank you. What about you?" I asked. "Better than I have in a while." Shang confessed. "We should get ready…" I said standing up, and changing. Shang quickly changed, too before going out to the others. "Good Morning General! Good morning Captain." Everyone greeted.
"Good morning." We greeted, as we sat for breakfast. "Mulan? You alright?" Chien Yi asked. "Yes, I'm fine, Thank you…" Shang eyed me with a raised eyebrow, But I simply shook my head. "I think she'll feel a lot better, with a good hot meal, and once we get home…" Shang said, as we sat around the fire. Chien Po started cooking, while Shi Yi came over, not saying anything to me, before sitting next to their highnesses. Ling joined us, whispering. "I talked to her. She agreed to not bother you about anything pertaining to the rape… I just thought it might be better than her trying to bring it up a lot more." I smiled a little as I said "Thank you." After breakfast, we continued on our way.
~4 months later!~
I was out in the fields, practicing my martial arts, while Shang was at the palace. I took a few months off, since my due date was coming near.
"Oww…." I groaned, placing a hand on my belly. "Mulan?" Ling said as he came over. "Are you Okay?" I groaned shaking my head. "Get… The doctor… Don't bother Shang yet…" I dropped to my knees in pain, as a contraction hit. "SHI YI! GET THE MEDIC!" Ling said, kneeling beside me.
I'm not even sure how long it was, but I knew I was now in the bedroom, Ling holding my hand while the doctor, kept checking. "Mulan? I'm Home!" Shang's voice called, as I let out a cry of pain. "OWWW!" "Mulan?!" Shang's voice said as he came over to the room, and opened the door. "Shang. I heard her cry in pain, so I came over." "Thank you. How you feeling now, Honey?" "OWW!" I cried. Shang turned to the doc. "She's only 8 centimeters, she can't push yet…" The doctor whispered. "Shang…" I moaned, as he came over, "I got her…." It took a few more hours, before the doctor said "On the count of three… I want you to push."
"One… Two… Three…" I pushed, squeezing Shang's hand, and Ling's, who was on my left, while Shang was on my right. "OWW! IT Hurts!" Shang said "I know honey. I know. Come on, Honey…"
"Good! Another. 1… 2… 3…" I pushed, once more squeezing the guys hands. "WHoa… Hang on…" The doc said. "What's wrong…?" "Um…. One second…" Just then The baby cried. "Apparently, this little one has it's own agenda." The doctor brought the baby over, and laid her on my chest. "Oh guys, she's just precious." I smiled, thanking Ling. "DId you guys think of a name?" I looked to Shang, who looked back. "Cheri." We said in unison. "Awe, It's perfect. It really is. Why Cheri though?"
"I don't know Mulan's reasoning, but for me, It's because, she represents the beauty and simplicity of everything. She'll be every single bit, her mother, who is my Cherry blossom." Shang said, before kissing my head, then Cheri's. "My father, said once, before we were called to war, that every single blossom on a cherry tree, or any plant, or person blossoms in their own time. I didn't truly understand it, till maybe a month ago… I was sitting under the mongolian tree, reflecting… and all of a sudden it hit me. I might've blossomed when I was pregnant… But I didn't truly blossom till this moment… Till I saw her face… Her perfect eyes, cute little nose, her perfectness." I knew we have many challenges ahead, But I also knew we had a hell of a lot of love, and support, and somehow, That just makes my assurance a thousand times stronger.
