Warning this story is a sequel to my story New Girl on Deck. If you haven't read that story you probably won't understand what's going on with this one.
It was Valentine's Day. Two months had passed since everyone had left the S.S. Tipton. Mr. Moseby was preparing the Tipton for Carey and Arwin's wedding when Zack and Cody walked in.
"When's the minister going to get here?" Zack asked.
"You're looking at him." Moseby said.
"You're a minister?" Cody asked. "Since when?"
"Since people started to have their weddings here." Moseby said. "I figured I could make some extra money so I got my certification over the internet."
"I didn't know you could do that over the internet." Zack said.
"Oh yes you can do almost anything on the internet. Meet girls, buy socks, finish college." Moseby said.
"Let's not forget play video games." Zack said.
"Yeah we don't need to bring that up." Moseby said. "I've gone a year without playing and I don't want to go into relapse. Now you should probably do something else. I don't want either of you ruining this wedding."
"Why would I ruin my mom's wedding?" Zack asked.
"I don't know just don't do it." Moseby yelled.
"Alright fine." Zack said as he and Cody left.
The twins went to the candy counter where Bailey worked. Millicent had quit after a bizarre loofah accident. "Hey Bailey can I get some chocolate?" Zack said.
Cody looked surprised. "Zack…that's not Bailey." He said. Instead of his wife, Maddie Fitzpatrick was at the candy counter.
"It's true. Bailey went down to the mini-mart." Maddie said as Cody left to find her.
"Maddie! I'm so glad to see you again." Zack said. "Where have you have been?"
"Well I just got back from my world tour and I'm about to start college." Maddie said. "Do I get a hug?"
"Okay but no kiss this time. I don't think my girlfriend would be very happy if she saw us." Zack said.
"You're right about that." Max said as she walked up behind Zack.
"Maddie, I don't know if you remember Max. She moved away 2 years ago." Zack said.
"I can't say that I do but I never thought I'd see the day that Zack would be a one-woman man." Maddie said.
"Yeah I've got him whipped." Max said.
"So Max, do you want some candy?" Zack asked his girlfriend.
"No thanks, I've been feeling sick all morning." Max said. "I must have eaten something bad last night."
"Well I hope it isn't contagious." Zack said as he went over to hug Maddie. Max knew it was a friendly hug and not a romantic hug.
"I don't think it is." Max said "But my mouth probably tastes like puke so let's not kiss right now."
"Maybe a mint would help freshen it up." Maddie suggested.
Cody arrived at the mini-mart, to find his wife of two months at the register.
"Hey Bailey." Cody said.
"Hi Cody, how'd you know I was here?" Bailey asked.
"Maddie told me." Cody said. "So what did you get?"
"Just a few things for Max. She's been feeling a little sick today." Bailey answered.
"Okay because I don't need to cook tonight." Cody said. "They'll have food at the reception."
"Yeah I know. I'm kind of excited. I've never been to a wedding before." Bailey said.
"Really?" Cody asked.
"Yeah, most people in Kettlecorn were either too young or already married." Bailey said. "Of course there were only like 50 people in the whole town. I'm still kind of getting used to living here."
"So what exactly did you get for Max?" Cody asked.
"Just some Listerine and Pepto-Bismol." Bailey said, not telling him about the third thing that she had bought for Max.
"So we should probably head back to the hotel then." Cody said. "Bye Wayne."
"See ya Cody." Wayne said to his former employee. "Tell Zack I said hi."
Cody and Bailey walked back to the hotel, hand in hand. They didn't really need to since pretty much everyone already knew that they were a couple but they still felt good doing it. Once they arrived at the hotel, they saw Max and Zack sitting in the couch.
"You mind if I borrow her for a little while?" Bailey asked Zack said.
"Sure why not?" Zack said.
Bailey took Max to the room that she shared with Cody. It was right across from his mom's room.
"So why couldn't you have just given me the stuff?" Max asked.
"Because I had something I didn't want the boys to see. Tell me have you had your period recently?" Bailey asked.
"Well my periods are usually pretty light." Max said "but I don't think so."
Bailey opened up the back and pulled out a First Response Pregnancy test.
"What is that?" Max asked.
"A pregnancy test." Bailey said.
"It was a rhetorical question." Max said. "Why do you think I'm pregnant?"
"Well you told me that you and Zack have been having sex, you seem like you have morning sickness and you haven't had your period." Bailey said. "Just take it. I might be wrong."
Max took the test and headed to the bathroom. A few minutes later when she didn't return, Bailey went in to check on her. She found Max with tears running down her face.
"Max, I'm sorry." Bailey said as she hugged the other girl. She looked at the stick on the floor that said the word pregnant on it.
"What am I going to do know?" Max asked.
"Well the first thing you need to do is tell Zack." Bailey said calmly.
"What if he doesn't want to be a father?" Max asked
"Max, Zack loves you a lot." Bailey said. "You probably also should go to the doctor because these things can be wrong."
"Shouldn't I find if I'm really pregnant before I tell him." Max said.
"Well you could but we can't go to the doctor until tomorrow because of the wedding." Bailey said. "It would be better to tell him before you go rather than lying. He might even want to go with you."
Hours later at the wedding, Everyone was dressed up. Zack was Arwin's best man. Cody, Esteban and Lance were groomsmen. London was Carey's maid of honor. Maddie and Bailey were bridesmaids. London had invited Justin to the wedding and he was in the audience.
"For the power vested in me, I know pronounce you husband and wife." Moseby said. "You may kiss the bride."
Arwin kissed Carey on the lips and then they were off to the reception.
"Zack, can we talk?" Max said as she approached him.
"Sure." Zack said. "What do you want to talk about?"
"I mean alone." Max said. "Away from here."
"Well I guess, maybe I can make so I don't get cake on me." Zack said.
As he said this, an old man tripped and his cake flew onto Zack. "Damn it!"
Max and Zack walked into the lobby. Most everyone was in the ballroom, so it was almost empty.
"So what exactly did you need to talk to me about? And you look great in that dress." Zack said.
"Zack I have something important to tell you." Max said.
"You're not breaking up with me, are you?" Zack asked, concerned.
"No but promise me that after I tell you what I'm about to say, you won't break up with me." Max pleaded.
"As long as you didn't commit some horrible crime, I won't break up with you." Zack assured.
"Zack…I think I might be pregnant." Max said.
Zack stood there with a look of shock on his face before yelling "Fuck!"
