"Let me help you Shang." She dampened his hair and washed it, then she pulled it up into a bun, then left to cook him one last meal. Shang came into the Kitchen ate some breakfast and then kissed his wife goodbye. Then he went into the girls' rooms and kissed them goodbye on the forehead. Mulan went to get Shang's horse ready, and when he came out he gave Mulan one last long passionate kiss and left.

It took him a day and a half to arrive at the palace.

"Ah there you are General Li Shang. How are you doing?"

"Fine, thank you sir. You wanted me to come here before I went to the camp."

"Ah yes, yes. How are you feeling?"

"I am fine sir, I am just a little weak."

"Yes a coma would do that to you. But before you go off to train the new captains, I want my medics to do a check up on your wound to make sure you are not going to pass out during training. You will leave for Camp Moo-Shung the day after tomorrow. My servants will show you to your quarters."

Camp

Morning came and Shang left for the Moo-Shung camp. He got there by late afternoon.

"Sir, I was wondering when you were going to come. Your tent is set up, and the troops are coming tomorrow evening. Is there anything else you need?"

"No, that is quite all right –"

"Fai Chen"

"Thank you. May I call you Chen?"

"Yes sir." Shang turned around, "Sir, I forgot to mention to you. You have a visitor waiting for you in your tent."

"Do you know who it is?"

"Yes sir, its your wife."

"My wife!"

"Yes sir, Li Mulan sir."

"Thank you. You may get back to what you were doing."

"Thank you sir." Chen walked away and Shang walked to his tent

"Mulan what are you doing here?"

"I-"

"No I don't want to hear it. You are pregnant you should be at home resting."

"Shang I came here to help you."

"Mulan you are pregnant, what good can you do?"

"Shang you are weak because of your wound. I want to help you at least till training starts." She looks into his eyes, "please Shang." Her hand cups his cheek

"Mulan you cant do much."

"Yeah you are right but I can help you."

That night she started to help train him. He climbed the pull, he did push ups. He ran with 80lbs of sand on his back. By midnight he was almost as strong as before. They went back to the tent and talked. Mulan fell asleep on the bed, when Shang was still up doing some paper work. When he looked over and saw Mulan was asleep on the bed he got up and pulled the blanket over her then went back to his paper work. About ten minutes later Mulan woke up

"Shang come to bed its late. You can do that in the morning."

Shang looked over at Mulan and gave in; he blew out the light and lay close to Mulan.

When morning came he woke up at sunrise and carefully got out of bed without disturbing Mulan. She worked him hard, and if it weren't for her he would still be as weak as he was before. His wound was healed, and now just had a scar there. He went to the cooks' tent to get some food. Then he started his training.

"Sir." Shang turned around

"Yes, what is it Chen?"

"If you don't mind me asking, but why is your wife, Mulan here?"

"Well I hoped she was going to stay home, but she has never listened to me." Shang starts to laugh, "I was wounded against the Huns leader a couple of months ago. I was in a coma off and on and this has been so far the longest I have been out of my coma. When I was stuck in bed for months I lost most of my strength. When Mulan found out that I had to go back to war, she came here to help me improve my strength."

"But sir, she shouldn't be here. She is pregnant."

"She is not due for another month."

"Do you know what it is?"

"No she wont tell me."

"Ha sounds like my sister."

"how old are you?"

"15 sir"

"15!"

"Yes sir, I was in my 3rd year of the military academy when we found out about the war, I was home for the week. My father was wounded, and I had a lot of training, and I was read for this."

"Lets see if you are as good as you are saying you are." Shang smirked at the kid.

Chen climbed the poll with no problem. And they were sparring, when Chen stopped and stared. Shang noticed this and stopped, and looked in the direction he was staring at. It was Lily. Shang ran up to her. She was crying…

"Shang I-I am so sorry I just woke up and-and."

"Where's Mai?"

"She is ok. She is at the Fa's place. Its-its"

"Its what?"

"Mulan… I woke up and she was gone nothing telling me where she was oh my God."

Shang pulled Lily closer, "Shh"

"I'm sorry Shang."

"Lily she is ok. She came here. She is in my tent."

"Than the ancestors."

Shang turned his head. "Chen come over here." Then he turned to Lily, "you traveled alone?"

"Yes"

"Lily you know that is dangerous."

"I'm sorry, but-"

"Its ok"

Chen came up to Shang "Yes sir."

"Chen this is my one of my daughters."

Chen bowed to Lily, and Lily blushed.

"Show her around, she will be staying here until I can get the time to take her and my wife home."

"Yes sir."

Shang walked back to his tent to do paper work.

Meanwhile

Chen took Lily's arm and showed her the camp. Lily really like Chen.

"So you are the daughter of General Li Shang."

"haha you could say that, but not by birth. He took me in." Chen stared at her confused. She started to laugh she told him the story.

They walked along the water for hours, "I have never met a young lady like you Lily." He stopped and turned to look into her eyes.

"Li Lily I love you." He took her hands "I want to marry you."

Lily wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled.

"I love you too!" He leaned in and kissed her, he heard hooting and whistling. He looked up and saw some recruits

"Oh Shit!"

"I thought there were no women allowed."

"Get the fuck out of here. You are to check in, set up your tents, eat and then the rest of the time is yours. You are to be up by sunrise no later. I will see you gentlemen later." Chen escorted Lily back to the camp and by that Mulan was up and talking with some of the fellow recruits.

"Li Mulan, where is General Li Shang?"

"He is in the tent working on some paper work."

"Thank you."

Chen walked to his tent and knocked. Lily walked over and squeezed his arm "Come in" Chen looked down at her and gave her a kiss on her check and went in.

"Ah Chen there you are. What do you need?"

"Sir the recruits are here"

"That's good to hear-"

"Sir"

Shang looks up at him, "Yes Chan?"

"I- er- I was hoping- er… General Li sir. I know I haven't known Lily for more then today, but I love her" Shang looks at him astonished

"Chen?"

"I want to marry her."

"Chen she is young-"

"I don't care how old she is. With your blessing or not I will marry her-"

"Chen, Chen you didn't give me time to finish. She is young but you have my blessing."

Shang stood up smiling. "Welcome to the family Chen"

"Thank you General-"

"Chen call me Shang!"

"Yes sir. Excuse me sir" Chen bowed and walked out. Chen saw Lily standing by the poll. He walked out and she came running up to him, Shang stepped out of his tent and Mulan walked by him.

"What just happened?" She watched him pick up Lily and swing her in the air and kissed her.

"That is our new son-in-law!"
