Thank you to everyone who has reviewed! I'm glad your all liking it! I figured I would jump straight to the point and explain why the twins looked like Zack. Hope everyone like this chapter! ;-)

Chapter 6

The thing Zack thought as he was coming to was that he must have been dreaming. There was no way Maddie had just introduced him to her twin boys, who just happened to look like he and Cody. No way. Not possible.

Turning, Zack spotted Maddie coming out of his bedroom.

"What in the world is she doing in my bedroom...without me in it?" Zack thought.

"Maddie, I just had the strangest dream. You had twins. Two boys who looked just like me."

"Ha, funny you should mention that. It wasn't a dream. I just put Alex and Zack to bed in your room."

"Oh dear God. How is this possible?"

"I don't know. I mean, yeah, Matthew kinda looked like you. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. Now that I think about it, he had some of your features too. Weird, huh?"

"Yeah...wait a minute. What did you say Matthew's last name was? David or something?"

"Oh, no. David was his middle name. He said he didn't like his last name, so he just went by his middle. It was Evans, why?"

"Oh my God. There's now way. You're telling me his full name was Matthew David Evans? Maddie, I think he's my cousin. I remember Mom mentioning something about a distant cousin of ours being in trouble for something. He was put in jail for whatever it was he did. Mom used to say if we were a few years older, we could all pass for triplets. How is this possible?"

Maddie was floored. Matthew was related to Zack. How was that even possible? They were nothing alike. But he did look a lot like Zack and Cody, just older.

"Oh, no. How could I be so stupid?! Now that I think about it, I remember him talking about these two cousins of his. He said they were always pulling pranks on anyone they could. He said they were twins and that they lived somewhere up North. It never even crossed my mind he could be talking about you and Cody. I mean, out of all the twins in the world, how likely was it that he would be talking about you guys?"

Before either one of them could say another word, one of the boys started crying. Maddie jumped up, running to the bedroom to see what was wrong. She came back out with a baby in each arm.

Walking over to Zack, who was seated on the couch, she asked if he would hold the boys while she made up a couple of bottles.

Taking the boys from Maddie, Zack looked down at the two little guys in his arms. He couldn't believe it. For all intent purposes, these little boys could be his. They looked just like he and Cody did when they were this age.

As he looked down at them, he noticed they were both staring up at him. They seemed content in his arms. Almost like they were safe. He realized that he could really get used to holding them. Being a twin, he seemed to have a connection with other twins. But this was beyond anything he had ever felt. Not that he had been around a lot of babies in his lifetime, it just seemed to come naturally.

Maddie had been standing in the doorway watching Zack hold her boys for the last few minutes. She had a smile on her face. This was what she had hoped for when she decided to tell Zack the truth. Deep down, she knew she had feelings for Zack. She had felt something for him even while they were still living at the Tipton, but because she was three years older than him, she thought it would be a bad idea to get into something. It was only when she had went through what had happened to her, she realized just how much she wished Zack was with her. He always knew the right thing to say. He could always make her smile and there were plenty of times when she needed to smile.

Deciding she had watched long enough, she walked he rest of the way into the room, bringing attention to her herself. She sat down on the couch and took Alex out of Zack's arms.

"Zack, do you mind feeding Zack while I feed Alex. Oh wow. I just realized how funny that sounded."

Maddie laughed and Zack, that is Big Zack, laughed right along with her.

"Tell me about it. I mean, not that I'm not flattered and all that you named him after me, but why did you name him after me?"

"He reminded me of you. Not just by his looking like you but his personality. He was the first born. Older than Alex by 20 minutes. That little guy that your holding is going to turn out to be the trouble maker of the two. I can already tell."

"Oh really. Guess he's a chip off the old block then...oh, um..I didn't mean it like that."

"Its ok. I know how you meant it. Its true though. He acts a lot like you. Its almost scary."

"Scary, huh? Was I really that bad when I was younger? I mean, I know I liked to play pranks on you guys and all, but was I that bad?"

"No, not bad. Just annoying really."

"Gee thanks."

"I'm kidding. You weren't that bad. It was kinda fun watching you pull all those pranks on the guests. We even had some good times. Remember when Mr. Moseby caught us crawling through the air ducts of the hotel!? Even though he cause us, it was still a really good laugh."

"Oh yeah. Of course I remember. Those were good times." Zack really missed hanging out with Maddie. Hopefully now that he had found her, things would change for them.

"I wish Cody was here. And London too. I miss all of us hanging out. I wonder what they are doing right now? I haven't spoken to London in over two years. I miss her."

"Well, you could always call her. I mean, I can just call Cody and you can talk to London. I'm sure she would like the surprise."

"Cody? Why would you call Cody if I wanted to talk to London?"

"Ha..that's the thing. Cody and London are living together."

"Um, ok. Why are Cody and London living together?"

"They've been dating for the last two years. Once Cody was accepted to college, he and London moved in together. London said she had a house close to where he would be going to school and since her daddy never used it, she offered to let Cody move in with her. Of course, Mom wasn't too thrilled about it, but she knew they were in love and wasn't going to come between them."

"Are you serious!? Cody and London!? Dating? Each other? For two years! How in the world did Cody end up with London? They are like complete opposites!"

Maddie was completely floored. Never in a million years would she have put London with Cody.

"When you love someone, nothing else matters. Cody once told me he fell in love with London when she wasn't looking. I never understood what half the stuff Cody said meant. Not until I saw them together. He loves London for the kind of person she is, not the amount of money she has or how "smartical" she is or ever will be. I once asked London when she knew she loved Cody. She said it was while he wasn't looking. Again, I was floored. Too this day, I still don't know what they mean. But they do and that's all that matters. I'm happy my brother found someone who completes him. He deserves to love someone as much as she loves him. They need each other. If you saw them now, you'd see how lost they are without the other around."

It was right then that Maddie saw Zack. It was like seeing him for the first time. All she knew was she was glad he was back in her and her boys life and she was determined to never let him go again. She just hoped he still felt the same way.

"I can't believe it. They sound great together. I always hoped London would find someone for her, I just never thought it would be Cody. By the way you talk, its a good thing they found each other. I bet its never a dull moment in that household."

"Haha, you have no idea just how true you are. London keeps Cody on his toes. And Cody really makes London think. They are a good match."

"Sounds like it. I think instead of calling them, we should surprise them with a visit. Not right away or anything. I don't think the boys are ready for a long trip yet. And you haven't even started school yet. How about we make plans to go up for a visit once your out on winter break? We could spend Christmas with them! All of us back together again! Wouldn't that be great!"

"You want to make Christmas plans now? With me?"

"Of course, Zack. Why wouldn't I? You didn't really think I was just going to drop back out of your life, did you? I just got you back and I never plan on letting you go again. Plus, I kinda think little Zack there is becoming attached to you, don't you?"

Zack had almost forgotten he was even holding him. It just felt so right. Looking down, he realized what Maddie meant. Little Zack had fallen asleep in his arms, bottle still in his mouth, drool running down his chin.

"Looks like it then, doesn't it. Guess you and your boys are stuck with me."

"We wouldn't have it any other way, would we boys?"

The only response they got was little Zack burping. They both laughed.

"I guess I'll take that as a yes then."

And just like that, it was decided.

Zack was back in her life and he wasn't going anywhere.

And she wouldn't have it any other way.

A/N: There ya go. Another chapter down. I really hope you like this one. I think its the longest one I've written for this story so far. By the way, it was a last minute decision to make Cody and London a couple. Personally, I think they would be very cute together. What do you think? Anyway, leave me a review and let me know what you think. I'll have the next chapter up tomorrow. Until then, Tootles:-)
