"Mulan I am so sorry. Let me take you out, get some of the stress off you."

"That is very nice of you, but I must take care of my husband."

"I promise I will not take you for more then an hour."

"That is a generous offer, but I have to watch Shang."

"Your daughter can watch him."

"Who, Lily?"

"Yeah who else?"

"I shouldn't"

"Come on it is just to get you out of this place and to get your mind off of Shang's condition. A woman in your kind of state shouldn't be under a lot of stress. Come on what do you say just one dinner."

"…. All right, why not."

"Great! I will be right back I want to see how my bud is doing, and then we can go and get something to eat"

Unexpected…

"Lily! Lily dear! Where are you?"

"Right here Mulan. What do you need?"

"I am just going out to dinner with one of Shang's friends he went to school with. I need you to watch over Shang. I shouldn't be that long. If something happens go to the neighbors and get them to help you."

"Ok Mulan, and I'll put Mai to bed at the usual time?"

"Yes. Thank you so much Lily, I don't know what I would do without you Lily."

"Its ok Mulan. Please take your time coming home, you haven't had any time to yourself."

"Thank you Lily! I owe you big time!"

"No, we are even!" Lily smiled " You better get going he'll be here any minute."

"I know, I know… I am just going to check up on Shang."

"O.K I'll come and get you when he gets here."

"Thank you." Mulan walks out of the room and into her room where Shang laid. She sat down besides her husband. Put her hand on his chest and kissed him on the lips.

"Shang I am going out to eat with one of your friends, Po Chi." Just then there was a grunt from Shang.

"Shang?" one eye opened, then the next. "Mulan stay away from him. You don't know him like I do… he is trouble."

Just then Lily walked in. "Mu… Shang your awake, Mulan Po Chi is here he is waiting for you in the living room."

"Thank you Lily I'll be out in just a second." Lily walked out to take Mai for a walk. Mulan was just about to get up and get some things for Shang before she left, when Shang grabbed her wrist.

"Mulan. Don't go with him!"

"Shang I am ok, I will get you some food and your book. I will be back in like 45 minutes." She leaned down and kissed him passionately. "I love you. I'll be right back"

Mulan walked out of the room and into the kitchen to get Shang some food.

When Shang was in his bedroom. He slowly sat up, and got out of bed supporting himself. Mulan was in the kitchen when she heard a thud and something break. She rushed through the living room and told Po Chi that she would be right back and to stay there. When she ran into their bedroom she found Shang on the floor struggling to stand up.

"Shang what do you think you are doing?"

"I wont lose you."

"What are you talking about? I have been by your side. You are the father of Mai and I love you. I am just going to dinner and I'll be right back."

She helped him back up, and had him sit up on the bed.

"Shang stay here you can't stand up, you are to weak. You have been in bed for months, and you have lost all of your strength. Stay here I will reschedule the dinner with Po Chi, but let me first get you some food."

Mulan left to get Shang his food. And once again Shang got up, and slowly walked to the living room.

Po Chi saw Shang walk out, and quickly got up to help him.

"Don't touch me!" Po Chi packed off "Get the Hell out of my house, and stay away from Mulan."

Po Chi laughed. Mulan walked into the room just in time to see Shang punch Po Chi out.

"Shang what has gotten into you? What the hell is your pr-"

Shang grabs Mulan and pulls her head towards him and passionately kisses her.

"You don't know him like I do Mulan. I don't want to lose you to him"

"Oh Shang, I'm not going anywhere. I love you."

"Please Mulan stay away from him."

"Shang he is a nice guy."

"No Mulan he isn't. Please stay with me I've missed you so much Mulan." He drew Mulan closer to him, and made Mulan giggle. He kissed her passionately.

"I almost lost you once, and I'm-" Shang starts coughing and falls to the floor.

"SHANG!" Mulan drops next to him to see if he is all right, and she sees blood coming from his mouth.

"Shang looks at me, Shang stay with me I am not going to lose you." Shangs' eyes start to close

"Shang look into my eyes and keep them there, you have to calm yourself down."

Mai starts to walk in… Mulan sees her coming and looks at the floor where a large amount of blood is from Shang.

"DADDY!" She starts to run over to her father.

"Mai go out side… NOW" Lily runs in and grabs Mai before she is able to get to Shang.

Shang slowly, but surely regains control over himself, and passes out. Mulan dragged him back to bed and went to clean up the blood, but she is interrupted by the sound of the drums…..
