Po sat outside the hospital room waiting anxiously for the arrival of his children. He was nervous for his wife, Tigress as he listened to her struggle in the room. He was scared because she had been in a lot of pain before they had gotten to the hospital and he had heard that some women die during child birth. Thinking about this made his heart skip.

As the struggling sounds in the room continued, Po felt his heart nearly pound out of his chest. Finally the doctor came out to the hallway. He had a sad look on his face. Po looked at him anxiously. He took a deep breath before saying, "She had twins, a boy and a girl…" Po smiled but when he looked at the doctor again the sad expression was still on his face. Po frowned. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"Tigress… didn't make it." he said slowly.

The second Po heard these words he froze. "NO!" he shouted then sprinted into the room before the doctor could stop him.

When Po looked around the room he saw many doctors near Tigress' bed and the heart rate machine had a flat line. Two of the doctors were holding each of the twins. Po sprinted to the bed pushing everyone out of the way. He got an eyeful of Tigress and broke down.

"We're sorry, dragon warrior." one of the doctors said.

Po then saw that one of Tigress' hands was hanging over the edge of the bed. There was a piece of paper in it. Po stopped crying for a moment and took the paper out of her hand. It was a song. All the doctors looked at him and he read the song out loud.

If I Die Young

By Tigress Ping

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a, bed of roses

Sink me in the river, at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh

Po knew this next part was talking about Master Shifu.

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my father

He'll know I'm safe with you when he stands under my colors, oh and

Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no

Ain't even grey, but he buries his baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well

I've had just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, well

I've had just enough time

Tears were now streaming down not only Po's face but the doctor's faces as well. Po also knew the next part was written about him.

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom

I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,

I've never known the lovin' of a man

But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand,

There's a boy here in town who says he'll love me forever,

Who would have thought forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life, well,

I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar

They're worth so much more after I'm a goner

And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'

Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh (uh, oh)

The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)

Go with peace and love

Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket

Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh

The sharp knife of a short life, well

I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

Po sighed and wished more than anything that Tigress was next to him instead of dead in a hospital. Po put the song in his pocket and hanging his head he began to walk toward the doctors holding his news children. Suddenly he heard a beep and then another. He looked back at Tigress. The heart rate monitor was running once again!

Po quickly took Tigress' hand. "Tigress?" he asked with a hopeful tone of voice. Tigress slowly opened her eyes. "Po?" she asked in a tired voice. Po smiled and immediately pulled Tigress into a loving hug. Tigress smiled and hugged him back.

The doctors who were holding their children came up to them. They handed the boy to Tigress and the girl to Po. The two cradled their new children named Simon and Xenia feeling like a real family once again.

The End
