Chapter 14

"Why does my wife think her family is alive," Fa Zhou went on after a pause, "don't answer that. Instead, you can tell me why my wife of twenty five years doesn't remember that we are already married, and that she has a seventeen year old daughter and a newborn son?"

"Sometimes memory lost is common in an accident, give it a few days."

"And if her memory doesn't come back, what can we do then."

The doctor said nothing, but the look on his face confirmed what Fa Zhou was thinking. "I think I need to go pray some more." He was about to open the door but he heard voices. Fa Zhou waited until Mulan came inside before telling her where he was going.

Is mama awake," she asked, looking at the door to Fa Li's door.

Fa Zhou couldn't tell her the truth, at least not yet. So instead he replied, "No, not yet. If she does, come find me first before going to see her." And with that he left.

"I want you to meet my brother," Mulan grabbed Shang's hand and dragged him to Ping's room. Wen Xun bowed to them before leaving.

Shang tightened his grip on Mulan's hand, "Who is he," he asked with a hint of jealously.

"Oh, that's just Wen Xun. He was by my mother when the attack happened."

"Oh…," Shang trailed off, thinking about what might've happened if Mulan was there.

Mulan interrupted his thoughts by saying, "I didn't bring you in here for you to question me."

"Oh, really, what did you bring me in here for," he wiggled his eye brows suggestively as he leaned in closer.

Mulan slapped him playfully, "Um, no. Actually, I wanted you to meet my brother, Ping."

"Uhhhh…I knew that," Shang stuttered, dropping Mulan's hand, "Your mom really named him Ping?"

"What's wrong with Ping," Mulan exclaimed, putting her hand on her hips.

"Nothing. It's just I thought that she would pick a different name."

"She was, but my grandmamma thought it would be fitting, and we all agreed." Mulan was about to say something else but her father came into the room.

"Mulan, I have something to tell you." Mulan felt her blood run cold remembering the last time he said that was when he thought he had lost her dog, Little Brother.

"What is it, papa?"

He turned to Shang, "it would be greatly appreciated if you went to the next room for a moment." Before Mulan could ask Shang to stay, he was already gone. "Your mother seems to be suffering from memory lost."

Mulan's brain stopped working. "Memory lost. What do you mean by that?"

"She doesn't remember that she is married."

"What about Ping and me? Does she remember us," she asked quietly.

"I'm afraid not." Mulan could tell that her father was waiting for a response but she couldn't give him one. "I'll fill Shang in," Fa Zhou said, still waiting for a response. When he didn't get any, he left.

"Hello, dear. Who are you and who is that you're holding," Fa Li asked.

"My name is Mulan and this is my brother, Ping. Would you like to hold him," the girl asked. Fa Li hesitated for a moment before reaching for Ping. Mulan handed her him, carefully supporting his head.

"How old is he," Fa Li asked noticing how tiny he was. She started wondering if Fa Zhou and she would have any children of their own.

"He is a week old," Mulan replied.

"That young. He should be with his momma," Fa Li stated firmly handing Mulan Ping.

"We don't have a mother, she died in a Hun attacked two days ago," Mulan wiped a tear from her eye. She hated lying, especially to her mother. But in a way it was true, the mother that she knew had died the day her father told her that she had lost her memory.

"You poor thing," Fa Li paused for a moment before smiling, "I know! You can come live with me until I am married. After that, you are welcomed to come live with me and my husband."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I am. He has no choice in the matter," They both looked at the door when they heard a knock.

"May I come in," the voice outside the door asked.

Fa Li face lit up, "Fa Zhou, you know you can." He started to walk in but stopped short when he saw Mulan.

"I didn't realize you had company," Fa Zhou stated.

"Fa Zhou, this is Mulan and Ping. They're mother died two days ago, and I have just decided that we are going to adopt them."

"Of course, my dear," he replied with a smile.
