Again, i Own nothing from the suite life of Zack and Cody
How can I not recognise those people that are supposed to be my parents, why would Cody lie to me about it, these thoughts and so many more flooded Zack's mind as he lay on a bed being wheeled toward the MRI. Zack had just been told that the strangers who had scared him so were in fact his parents, and not being able to recognise them was something so scary to Zack, he couldn't understand it, how could it be. Zack didn't feel the presence of his parents when he had seen those people, they had been total strangers who had gotten close to him, it had scared him so and his twin Cody was the only one who had made him feel safe, but it turns out Cody had been playing along with them, comforting him by saying they weren't his parents, by saying they were strangers, but it had been a lie.
Zack was too upset to be able to fully comprehend that Cody had lied for his own good, or to comprehend the psychological trauma it had caused Cody to do so, and for Cody to be separated from his parents as well. Of course, Zack had no idea that Carey and Kurt had wanted to separate him and Cody, and if he had known then the anger would have been even hotter.
"Will I ever be able to recognise my parents? I'm not convinced those people are my real parents" Zack asked the doctors who pushed his bed
"They are your parents, I know it's probably a horribly distressing situation but once we do this MRI there is a good chance we will know more about the damage and how best to treat it, or weather it is likely to be relieved with time, it is clear that it is related strongly to your traumatic experience as you remember Cody and Madeline" was the reply, Zack hoped he could be able to recognise his parents, his relationship could never be the same with them until he could tell it was actually them, but Zack was starting to accept the situation more, some of the distress was subsiding.
"OK Zack, we're here, now we're just going to help you get off the bed into the machine, it's going to take a while, but we need you to stay still, and hopefully we'll see good signs and be able to fix your problem as quickly as possible" The doctor said warmly, it made Zack feel a bit better, but not as good as it would have been having Cody there, as angry as he was, Zack couldn't deny Cody always made him feel safe.
As Zack entered the MRI machine Carey and Kurt were ushered into the viewing room next to the MRI machine where the images being gathered were visible on the screens, masses of colour inside Zacks head were all that was visible.
"What can you tell us doctor?" Kurt eagerly asked
"Well we wont be able to tell much until a specialist takes a look at the results, but it is a good sign he recognises Cody and Madeline" the doctor replied.
Carey smiled a little at this news, but she was still so upset, it had been such a hard period for her, Zack had almost died, and she felt that if he couldn't remember her then he may as well have, if they couldn't survive together then Zack may as well be dead to her, Carey hated herself for thinking like that.
"I wonder if Maddie told Cody about Tapeworm, I hope he's doing OK with the news, but I doubt it" Kurt said
"Cody needs me, but doesn't want me, maybe we shouldn't separate them, I didn't know Zack saved Cody's life, I don't want to separate them, but I want to do what's best for Cody, honestly Kurt, I don't know what I want for the boys" Carey again was crying, Kurt just hugged her and said it would be OK. Carey wondered what Moesby was doing at that moment, she hadn't spoken to him since their kiss the day before, she wanted dearly to talk to him, she knew he could make her feel better, she was beginning to accept she had feelings for him, but she couldn't act on them now, it was just completely the wrong time.
A nurse who Carey recognised from the ICU came into the viewing room to speak to Carey and Kurt
"Mr. and Ms. Martin, we think now is an appropriate time to move Zack and Cody into a private room, we can put them into separate rooms, or one twin room, what would you like? I know it is a difficult situation given the circumstances, so the choice is up to you" The nurse began. Carey and Kurt looked at each other exchanging looks which confirmed to each other the correct decision
"Put them in a room together" Carey finally said
"Excellent, I have to say I think that is the best option, we need the bed as quickly as possible so I'll have them move Cody now, he'll be in room 1235" the nurse cheerfully replied, smiling at Carey and Kurt before leaving.
"Hello Mr. Martin" said a nurse cheerfully as she approached Cody's bed, before noticing that Cody was lying face down into the pillow, obviously crying, whilst Maddie sat very glumly by. The nurse received no response other than a look from Maddie. Cody wasn't angry at Maddie, he was so glad she was there, just her being there was helpful, he was sad about Tapeworm, worried about Zack and he missed his parents, even if he did despise them for wanting to separate him from Zack, he couldn't think of anything worse, and with Zack being angry at him Cody felt like he had died inside.
"Mr. Martin, we've decide you can leave the ICU, so we're taking you upstairs to room 1235, you'll be sharing a twin room with your brother" The nurse said, still getting no response, though Cody was happy they weren't being separated, and Maddie was glad this was the case as well. Cody hadn't spoken in well over half an hour, seeing him cry hurt Maddie so much, they had all been through so much pain, so much more pain than anyone their age, anyone of any age really should have to go through. Maddie spent the time thinking about what to do for London's funeral, she wanted Cody's help though, and he was in no fit state, she hoped that once more was known about Zack's condition Cody would be a bit more cheerful, but until that time all Maddie wanted to do was stay by Cody's side and keep him comfortable, that was what friends did, and just being by Cody helped Maddie think of things other than Maddie.
"OK Mr. and Ms. Martin, we've finished the MRI, I'll take the results to the neurologist and we'll hopefully know something by this afternoon, we'll take Zack up to the room now, Cody is being moved as we speak, I think you should see Zack though, maybe if you talk to him he will remember something about you" The doctor said to Carey and Kurt as he brought Zack out of the MRI, Carey and Kurt didn't know if they could bare be with Zack, it had been so painful before.
