The Long Day

London smiled at Todd as she rose from their silk bedding. Her smile suddenly went away when she felt nauseous. She ran to the bathroom as fast as she could and threw up in the golden toilet. Todd woke up and ran to her side.

"London," he said, "Are you okay?"

"Um, yeah," London said, wiping away the remains from her mouth, "I'm fine now."

"We better get you to a doctor," Todd answered.

"No that's okay," London replied, "I feel better now."

"I can stay home if you want," Todd tried to comfort her.

"No, you go save all those poor people with pteridactiolitis," London said smartly.

"Okay, I will," Todd laughed. He got dressed and went to work.

London ran downstairs in her robe and pajamas and quickly saw Maddie. She ran to her.

"Maddie!" she exclaimed.

"Yeah?" Maddie asked, absently. "What's up?"

"I don't know," London cried. "First I was sick, and now I'm better. But now I feel a little heavier. Am I gaining weight?"

"Oh God," Maddie said in surprise, "London you need a pregnancy test."

"A WHAT?" London shouted to the whole lobby.

"A pregnancy test," Maddie repeated. "It's where you…"

"I know what it is!" London stopped her. "Do you really think I need one?"

"You might as well try it," Maddie said with a shrug. "It can't hurt."

"Okay," London sighed. "Where do I get one?"

Maddie answered, "At the drug store."

"There's a store for drug dealers?" London asked her.

Maddie smacked her forehead in stupidity, "Drugs as in medicine!"

"Oh, gotcha," London answered. "Thanks Maddie, bye."

Later that day, London stared at the pregnancy test in horror. It read positive.
Maddie stood out on the balcony of the hotel waiting for Jason. Just then, he came up onto the roof and Maddie smiled.

"So let's go," Jason said, anxious to get out of the hotel.

They went to the five-star restaurant down the street and Maddie enjoyed her meal of spaghetti with Jason. After that, they went to the movies, where they saw a scary movie. Maddie clung onto Jason the whole time and Jason laughed at the cheap special effects. Then they went back to the hotel where Jason dropped Maddie off at her suite. Just before they kissed again, her door flew open and Zack and Cody stood there.

"The cats are back!" Zack and Cody exclaimed.

"Jason, I'm sorry," Maddie said to him. Jason walked off.

"You know how you always told me to call you in ten years? Well I called you but you weren't home," Zack smiled.

"You guys, it's not funny! I really like Jason and if you can't accept it then you aren't true friends," Maddie scolded.

"Overreaction!" Cody shouted. "It's not like we planned this, right Zack?" he said glancing at his brother and giving him a microscopic smile.

"I hate you!" Maddie shouted at them.

"Not again, I can't take another pregnant woman!" Cody shouted.

Zack laughed, "Then you might want to stay away from London!"

"What?" Maddie said seriously. "Is she really?"

"Yeah, everybody knows that," Zack said.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Cody shouted as he ran down the hall. "Not another one!"

Zack fell laughing on the floor, rolling around gasping for air. "Cody, you loser!"

Cody peeked his head from around the corner, "You wouldn't call me a loser if you know what I have been through."

Zack shook his head as he got up from the ground, "London really is pregnant," he said.

Maddie dropped everything and ran to London's suite. She knocked on the door, surprised to see Todd. She wondered if Todd knew.

"Todd!" London shouted from the back room. "Who's at the door?"

"It's Maddie," Todd replied.

"London, are you okay?" Maddie asked her.

"Oh, so you heard about the incident this morning," Todd answered for her, "Yeah, she hasn't thrown up anymore."

"Oh joy," Maddie said, "So anything new?"

"Nope," Todd said absently.

"That's good," Maddie replied, "Can I talk to London alone?"

"Sure, she's in the bedroom," Todd answered.

Maddie ventured into the bedroom where London sat, obviously hiding her pain.

"London, why didn't you tell me?" Maddie asked.

"Tell you what?" London said, fake smiling.

"London, can it, I know," Maddie told her.

"Maddie, I can't do this," London whined.

"You have to tell Todd," Maddie advised.

"I can't, what if he doesn't like me because I'm fat?" London asked.

"London, he married you even though you were a Tipton. He was there for you when your dad died, he'll be there for you during this," Maddie said.

"I guess you're right," London sighed.

"Good, I have to go," Maddie said. "Tell him."

Maddie left and London went back to talking to Todd, nervously.

"London, honey, is something wrong?" Todd asked, realizing her fidgeting.

"Actually, no," London replied. "I found out today that I'm…" she mumbled the word "pregnant."

"What was that?" Todd asked.

London mumbled again, a little bit clearer, "I'm…"

"London, tell me, what are you?" Todd begged.

"I'm pregnant!" she shouted.

Todd stumbled from the place where he stood and took a seat on the bed, "whoa," he said.

"Todd, are you okay?" London asked.

"London, this is great!" Todd exclaimed. "A little surprising, sure, but awesome, I get to be a dad!"

"So you want this baby?" London asked, confused.

"More than anything, except of course, you," Todd answered.

"What about your career?" London asked.

"My career will be fine," Todd reassured her. "I'm just worried about you."

"If you want this baby, I want it too," London said.

"We're going to be parents!" Todd exclaimed.

The next morning the couple walked into the lobby with the brightest smiles on their faces.

"I assume you told him," Maddie said to London.

"I sure did, and we're going to have it," London answered.

Maddie shrieked, "That is so cool! What do you want it to be: a boy or a girl?"

"A girl," Todd and London said in unison.

Maddie smiled and then she noticed Jason walk into the lobby with Jennifer. Jennifer was talking on her cell phone and Jason was slightly annoyed.

"Jason," Maddie called to him. He ran over to her. "How are you today?"

"I'm okay," Jason answered. "I'm sorry, we can't do anything tonight. Jen and I are going on a night tour of Boston."

"Jen?" Maddie asked, raising her eyebrows in suspicion.

"Yeah," Jason said nervously, "We're, uh, good friends, we have nicknames."

Maddie burst into laughter, "I was just kidding."

"I know," Jason lied.

"Whatever happened to Kyle?" London interrupted.

"Oh Kyle married a rich girl and has become more shallow than ever. I haven't seen him in a year," Jason replied.

The phone rang, it was for Maddie. Maddie had to go back to work, and Jason went back to his wife, Jennifer.

"Jay baby," Jennifer said, "Why are you always talking to that poor girl, Massie?"

"She and I used to be good friends, baby, but it's over now. She just has a hard time realizing that. Oh, and her name is Maddie," Jason answered.

Jennifer kissed him and they walked into the elevator. Coming out of the elevator, though, was Zack.

"Hey, it's the cat!" Jason laughed as he pointed Zack out to his wife.

"Hey, I'm the cat," Zack said solemnly.

"Ahem," Jennifer motioned for Jason to introduce her. "Why did you just call him the cat?"

"Oh, honey, this is the hotel singer's son, Maddie pretended she let them stay in her suite when really she was babysitting them in their own suite."

"I'm Zack," he reached out his hand for her to shake.

"My name's Jennifer, you can call me Jen, I am Jason's wife," she replied.

"Wife?" Zack choked.

"Yeah, Jen, can you excuse us for a second?" Jason dismissed his wife.

Zack glared at Jason as Jennifer left the room. "Wife, huh?" Zack repeated.

"Look, don't tell Maddie. I haven't had the heart to break up with her yet. I overheard her saying she was waiting for me for ten years," Jason pleaded.

"Oh and the kissing isn't anything either? I would die to have a kiss from her but she's blinded by your dishonesty and unable to love anyone else," Zack answered.

"That was deep man," Jason said. "Is that really how you feel?" Zack nodded and Jason continued, "Well, too bad! Maddie is in love with me, which means she doesn't think you're cute anymore, squirt. So get your own girlfriend!"

Zack glared at Jason, and stomped on his toe as he headed back to his restaurant. He smirked as he turned away from Jason. Then his smirk turned into a sad frown, because he realized that Maddie was going to get her heart broken and there was nothing he could do about it. Or could he?

Later that night, Maddie walked into the lobby, to see Jason and Jen just getting ready to leave. She was just about to walk over to him when she saw his apparel. Jason was wearing a fancy black tuxedo and Jennifer was wearing a red low-cut dress and high-heels. She stopped in her tracks, realizing that this wasn't clothing suitable for sightseeing.

"Maddie," a voice said from behind. She whirled around to see Zack in a nice black overcoat over a red shirt and black pants and dress shoes. He was holding a nice bouquet of red roses.

"Zack, what are you doing?" Maddie asked, confused.

"Jason's cheating on you," Zack replied. "I thought maybe you and I could get something to eat instead."

"You thought wrong. First of all, Jen is just a friend. I know, maybe Jason lied to me about sightseeing, but he and Jen are not together. Second of all, that's sweet, but I have a boyfriend," Maddie replied.

Zack hung his head, but he brought it back up. There were tears in his eyes, "Maddie, I don't want you to be hurt. Jason and I talked, this is what he said." Zack pulled out a tape recorder from his coat pocket and played it. It was their conversation:

Zack: Wife, huh?

Jason: Look, don't tell Maddie. I haven't had the heart to break up with her yet. I overheard her saying she was waiting for me for ten years.

Zack: Oh and the kissing wasn't anything either? I would die to have a kiss from her but she's blinded by your dishonesty and unable to love anyone else.

Jason: That was deep man. Is that how you really feel? Well, too bad! Maddie is in love with me, which means she doesn't think you're cute anymore, squirt. So go get your own girlfriend!

The tape made a few strange noises and then went back to displaying sounds:

Zack: Get this thing off me, Cody!

Cody: Relax; just let me take it off, edit a few things…

Maddie's eyes lit up. "You edited it!" she accused.

"No, I didn't!" Zack said in defense.

"This is proof!" Maddie pointed to the tape recorder.

"Wait, there's more," Zack pleaded.

Maddie pushed the tape away and said, "I don't need to hear anymore. You're just jealous!"

"Maddie," he looked into her eyes, "If you need proof ask Jennifer what her last name is."

So Maddie did. Just before the couple stepped outside the door, Maddie grabbed Jason by the arm.

"Maddie, hey, um, hi," Jason said nervously.

"I thought you were going sightseeing," she said, crossing her arms accusingly.

"Jennifer changed her mind," Jason lied. "What are you doing?"

"I need to ask Jen a question. What's your last name?" Maddie answered.

Jason's sweat trickled down his forehead.

Jennifer answered, "Um, Robinson, why?"

Maddie smacked her forehead, "Never mind."

She walked back to Zack, who stood smiling. "You don't know Jason's last name do you?" he smirked. Maddie threw the flowers in his face and went up to her suite, denying whatever Zack just said.
