As the girls continued to walk home, mulan began to feel some minor pain in her abdomen. She thought it was just a cramp from all that climbing she did. "Are tu alright, Mulan?" Pocahontas asked. "Yeah. Just a cramp." mulan answered. "I hope it's nothin' serious." Merida replied. "It's not. The baby might be growing." mulan replied. Pocahontas and Merida just smiled at her thought.

However, the pain only progressed the siguiente morning. mulan held her stomach lightly as she got out of bed. To make matters worse, Shang noticed. He rushed out of cama to be at his love's side. "Are tu OK?" he asked. "Yeah. I'm sure the baby's just growing." mulan answered. "Are tu sure?" Shang asked. "Yes I am, Shang. It may've not been this painful when I was pregnant with Ping, but still." mulan answered.

She suddenly realized she hadn't really eaten the anterior day. *That could be it.* she thought. Before leaving for Jamestown, doctors advised her to eat 5 times a day. *I'll get a good meal this morning.* she thought as she went into the kitchen. Pocahontas was in there cooking up something for the crew. "I'm adding a special herb to your drink to help with your pain." she said. "It's not like I'm miscarrying." mulan tried to joke.

Pocahontas wasn't laughing. "I didn't know tu took stuff like that so seriously." mulan replied feeling guilty. "That's why I'm fearful of having más children. I'm afraid they won't get to enjoy life." Pocahontas confessed. "No wonder you're skeptical about having más children!" mulan replied. "John doesn't know this. Neither do my father, Nakoma, o my people." Pocahontas told. "Then who does?" mulan asked. "You're the only one." Pocahontas answered.

mulan felt like her corazón was about to jump out of her system. "You need to tell the other people tu trust. Especially John." she stated. "I don't know how." Pocahontas replied. "I'll tell ya what-we keep this between us until after the Get Well Soon feast." mulan compromised. Pocahontas hugged her. They suddenly looked at Merida, who was still fast asleep on the floor. "She's been through so much." Pocahontas reminisced about that scary infection. "She has." mulan added.

Shang joined the two. "How are tu feeling?" he asked Mulan. "Alittle better. I probably need to eat something." she answered. "Remember what the doctors said." Shang dicho sternly. "I know, General." mulan replied smiling. Shang walked back in the room to change when he almost stepped on Merida. He stiffled who knows how many laughs.

"What are tu doing?" Pocahontas asked. "It's Merida." Shang answered. "What about her?" mulan asked. "When she was still in the hospital, I went to visit her, and I walked in on her sleeping." Shang told. "And..." Pocahontas proceeded him to continue. Shang smiled. "I actually heard her snore." he finished. mulan and Pocahontas looked at each other.

"She not snoring now." mulan pointed out. "She was when I walked in on her. And she was kinda loud, too." Shang replied. "Chances are she was trying to fool you." John dicho as he walked in. "John Smith, are tu trying to say I was being messed with?" Shang asked jokingly. "Naturally." John answered in his usual laid back tone. "I DO NOT get fooled." Shang retorted. "Oh yeah, remember that time Mushu poisoned your tea?" mulan asked. "My love, THAT was an accident." Shang reassured casually.

Merida tiredly got up to registrarse her friends. "What's goin' on in here?" she asked. "I was just telling these fine people how I heard tu snoring when I walked in on tu at the hospital that day." Shang answered in a sly-dog tone. Merida's eyes got big with embarrassment. "I do NOT snore!" she fought. "Yes tu do." Shang argued. "Whoa, Shang, tu need to back up. I think Merida may have a point here." John pardoned.

"I DO. I was feelin' horrible that day, so I faked out Shang." Merida finally confessed. "What I'm tryin' to say is, I fake-slept and PRETENDED to snore." she continued. Shang was speechless at how good a faker Merida was. "Ah, so she DID fool you." John busted. "I thought tu were actually snoring!" Shang baffled. mulan and Pocahontas couldn't help but laugh at Shang's cluelessness. Suddenly, mulan stopped laughing and held her stomach rather tightly this time. Everyone rushed to her.

"It's OK guys. I just need to eat." she reassured. Truth is, mulan didn't want to think she was miscarrying. Yeah, she joked about it, but she didn't want to think it was happening. She, Shang, and their families and friends back inicial were the only ones who knew this, and they DARED not to tell Pocahontas, John, and Merida about this secret. What might it be, tu ask? She almost miscarried Ping! She HATED talking about it, and she hoped it was another frightening false alarm with this one.

That's why doctors advised her to eat 5 times a day. The soon-to-be mother-of-two was helped up por everyone. "Let her sit down." Shang said. John and Merida helped her to a chair. Pocahontas continued to cook the comida as fast as she could. *I almost miscarried Ping. I can't go through that with this one.* mulan thought. All she could do now was say a silent prayer. And hope.
