A/N: Okay! I'm back. Sorry for stalling the story for so long. Many, many things have happened, causing a sudden roadblock forcing me to stall my writing. Now, most of you are wondering "WHAT THE HELL? HOW?" when it comes to Bailey's pregnancy. Well…You'll find out. :D Enjoy!


Chapter 12: The Possibilities Are Endless

"PREGNANT?" Cody yelped. Zack's jaw was cranked open, unable to comprehend what was just said. "HOW? I didn't even…WE USED…THE CONDOM WAS EMPTY!"

"The condom was BROKEN, Cody. It WAS pigskin, the most UNRELIABLE material." Bailey interjected. Cody begun pacing back and fourth.

"I didn't even ORGASM, BAILEY!"

"Yeah. You did. But for some reason, you had this really strange look in your eyes. It was like you weren't even there with me."

"WE USED A CONDOM! I CHECKED IT. THERE WAS NOTHING IN IT!" Cody's voice was stuck on high volume; his heart racing a thousand miles a minute. Zack let out a few babbles, but was still unable to form complete words.

"I saw the broken condom…"

"I TOOK IT OFF IN THE BATHROOM!"

"CODY! Calm down and listen. I saw it while you still had it on. That and…I felt your…'stuff squirt inside me'." She said disdainfully.

"NO! I CHECKED the condom when I threw it out. And I didn't even feel anything!" He continued pacing back and fourth.

"Cody…It was broken. The tip was sticking out and everything. And, as I said, it was like you were in a different world. You probably didn't realize." Cody dashed to the bathroom and rummaged to find the condom, but had no luck.

"Shit…Garbage day was yesterday…" He dragged himself out of the bathroom and sat on the edge of the bed, Bailey still standing in the doorway. His hands met his face. "What are we gonna do…" Zack crawled over to his love and wrapped his arms around the other's shoulder.

"I have no clue. You just need to figure out something fast…" At that, Bailey left the room. Cody sat there, broken.

"CoCo…" Zack said. His words fell on deaf hears. "Cody…" No response. "Cody. We'll get through this. We got through you and Bailey and me and Zane! We'll GET through this!" Cody turned and put his arms around Zack, tears quickly soaking Zack's shirt. "It's okay…"


Cody sat at his desk, typing away at the computer. "This isn't possible…The condom was in ONE piece! I couldn't have possibly…"

"Hey, Codster." Zack walked up behind him and hugged him. He took a glance at the laptop screen. "How to be a gay parent?" He looked a Cody and giggled.

"Zack. This is serious. If I'm gonna be a dad, I wanna be prepared…I mean…I'm almost positive that I didn't…'climax' that night, but I saw the test. It was positive. Twice. How could I not only realize that I climaxed, but how in the WORLD didn't I notice the condom was broken?"

"Well…Didn't you say that, during your 'horizontal tango' with Bailey that you couldn't get me off your mind?"

"Yea…"

"And didn't Bailey say you were in another world?"

"What are you getting at, Zack?" Cody shut the laptop.

"Well…When I'm singing, I'm usually so in the zone that I'm unconscious of what's going on around me. I'm so focused on the song, that whatever is going on around you is a blur. Someone could have punched me in the jaw and I wouldn't have felt it." Zack said, beginning to pace while he was deep in thought.

"Yea? What does that have to do with this?"

"Well maybe you were so immersed in your thoughts and guilt with me, that you didn't realize that you…'got there'." Cody stood up.

"You're right…And I was still beating myself up for what happened! It makes sense! Damn…" Cody sat back down at the realization. "So…This is possible. I could be a dad."

"And I could be a dad!" Zack said, excited. Cody looked at Zack confused.

"You…aren't angry?"

"Angry? Cody. This is what we've been talking about, getting past our situation. Now this child may be a product of a bad situation, but I'm not looking at the negative aspects of it. This thing is a lot more important than a minor falling out, and since this is something we CAN'T ignore, why not make the best of it?" Cody immediately took his love in his arms.

"Zack…I can't tell you how much I love you right now."

"Love you, too Coco…We'll get through this, as always."


Cody stood on the deck and took a deep breath, eyeing Bailey. Sprawled out on a beach chair, the sight of her made Cody uneasy. "Gotta do this…It's the only way…" Taking another deep breath, he walked over to the brunette girl. "Bailey…"

Bailey turned her head to Cody, her mood seemed to be that of anguish. "Cody."

"We, uh, need to talk."

"Okay, talk." Cody took a seat in the open beach chair next to her.

"Well. This isn't something we can go through on bad terms. This is a child's life we're talking about here, so I think that we need to at least patch things up." Cody said.

"Oh… Okay."

"So…Let's start this over." Bailey quickly interjected.

"Cody. This isn't just something we can 'blow over'. Believe it or not, you hurt me. And now, you've given me something to remember that by."

"Yes, I know. But we can't hate each other. You're holding my child, which I plan on raising. If we don't fix this, it's just gonna make things worse. I promise…I didn't mean to hurt you."

"Well then I suggest you explain this to me, then." Bailey sat upright, waiting for an explanation. Cody took another breath.

"Well, me and Zack. We've been together for a LONG time…"

"Wait…You and your brother are TOGETHER?"

"Yes and now isn't the time to play ethics. Just hear me out." Bailey, though taken aback from the realization, sat back and listened. "Me and Zack came on the ship together. When we got here, we decided to kind of 'take things down a bit' between us because we still weren't sure how people would react. The only people that knew were Mosby and London. Naturally, Zack was okay with this. I thought I was, too. I found that it was harder than I thought. I went into a funk, and in the process had a crisis. I found that you were exactly like Zack and that's why we did what we did. Then the shit hit the fan when Zack found out. He got with someone else. And this whole big drama bubble just popped. I was in a bad mood, and went nuts on you. I do apologize for that. Everything is ironed out between me and him now."

"Well…I guess that's reasonable…But...the whole dating your brother thing. I'm not sure if that flies with me. I mean, that's wrong on so many levels." Bailey said.

"Well, that's something you're gonna have to live with if you want the baby to have a dad. As much as I want to be in this kid's life you DID force me into doing what we did. This wouldn't have happened if you hadn't manipulated me. I'm trying to be responsible. Judging me or Zack isn't going to help alleviate this situation. Besides, Zack wants to be in the child's life as well and he's actually going to help get us through this. You're in no position to judge, being the one who caused this situation to come about." Cody sternly put down. Bailey looked dumbfounded.

"Excuse me? But this child is not even…" Bailey begun, but cut herself short. Cody immediately sat up.

"The child isn't even WHAT, Bailey?"

"It isn't even…born yet. You're going too far ahead…" Bailey let the words sloppily fall off her lips.

"Umm…You do realize that this has to be planned, right? Nine months isn't quite enough time to plan this out. We're on a ship in the middle of the sea. Our parents are thousands of miles away, and we're in SCHOOL. I'd say we're already behind in planning." Bailey continued to look uneasy. Cody just passed it off.

"You're right. Totally right. What happened…It never happened." She laughed nervously.

"Umm…You're acting weird. Are you okay?"

"Oh. Yeah. I'm just a little nervous…I'm pregnant remember? With YOUR baby! I'm just a little nervous is all." Bailey stood up. "I better get going. Lot's of stuff to do, what with our baby coming and all. See ya, Cody." She meekly hugged him and ran off.

"O…kay…" Cody said to himself, before walking away himself.


A/N: Well? After a while of waiting, I'm finally glad I've had the time to get this up. I'll try getting the most out I can before something ELSE comes up! :D Thanks for reading! Review!
