Again, i own nothing from the suite life of Zack and Cody.
"Hi Mr. Moesby, how are you doing?" Maddie was talking down the phone to Moesby
"I'm OK, it's getting better" Moesby replied, it was obvious from his voice that he was still hurting, but Maddie could detect he was getting better.
"I haven't seen you at the hospital, what are you up to today?" Maddie asked
"Well, Mr. Tipton and I have begun to sort London's affairs, her will, personal effects and those matters need to be attended to, it is unspeakably painful to go into her suite though, to go into the hotel at all, but alas, it is a job which must be done" Moesby replied, his voice cracking at the end.
"I know, is there anything I can do to help?" Maddie compassionately asked, wanting to help Moesby escape the horrible task which he had to undertake.
"Not at the moment, maybe you could help us clear out London's suite, we're just doing the legal things at the moment, have you made any plans for the viewing yet?" Moesby responded
"Not yet, there's been some horrible things going on here today, as I'm sure Carey's told you" Maddie replied, her voice told Moesby that she expected he had been in contact with Carey, when in fact he hadn't spoken to her since their kiss the night before.
"No, actually, I haven't spoken to Carey since last night, what's wrong?" Moesby became very worried about what had happened.
"Well Zack woke up, but he couldn't recognise Kurt or Carey" Maddie said, she was very confused as to why Carey wouldn't have spoken to him, and Moesby was so shocked that something that major wouldn't have been told to him, after all he and Carey had been through.
"What, that's awful, is he OK now? How is Carey doing? And Kurt? And Cody?" Moesby exclaimed down the phone, his confusion and concern were very highly evident in the tone of his voice.
"I, I really don't know, Carey isn't doing well, Cody isn't taking it well either, one of their other friends was killed they just found out, it's horrible, everything has gone to hell" Maddie completely broke down
"Why wouldn't have Carey told you?" Maddie cried out
"I don't know" Moesby lied, he felt so horrible, that he hadn't known to help out with this horrible new development, it was just awful, yet another thing to eat at his soul.
"Does Zack remember you?" Moesby thought to ask
"Yes, he remembers me and Cody, I think maybe he is remembering Kurt and Carey a little now, but there was just a big fight in there, Cody was yelling, I've never heard him like that, I was just outside the room, it was horrible, can you come down here, I need someone to talk to?" Maddie had completely broken down, her sentences were barely audible through the heavy sobs, everything was so horrible, and hearing Cody so angry had upset her so much, the weight of the world had come crashing down on her shoulders.
"Of Course, I'll be there as quickly as I can" Moesby said, he decided he had to face Carey and the situation, he was sure it was something eating away at Carey and with such horrible occurrences having happened since his departure the night before it was only right to attempt to lift the weight of Carey's shoulders.
Carey Martin sat crying her eyes out in a beige hospital hallway outside of Zack and Cody's room. In all Carey's life she had never felt so horrible, nothing had upset her as much as this, Carey had gone through many break ups, having many men stolen from her and a divorce, but having her Twins nearly die, and now having one so so angry at her had put her at wits end. Kurt tightly hugged Carey, desperately trying to comfort his ex wife who was seemingly leaking her soul into a box of tissues, Kurt was of course also hurting inside, but Carey showed it so much more, and it was his job as a man to try and comfort her he felt.
Cody had been so angry about everything, it may have been an illogical move for the perpetually logical Cody, but so much had happened to him, his life would never be the same, so it made perfect sense that he would react in a way so abnormal, obviously over the days since the explosions the pressure had built up on Cody and he had finally snapped, but, Zack it seemed, had been able to calm him down, in this situation Zack it seemed was the logical thinker of the pair.
"Mr. and Ms. Martin?" a doctor approached them in the corridor, he seemed slightly surprised that Kurt and Carey were outside as opposed to inside the room, and even more surprised at how upset they were, however the doctor recognised the private affairs of these people were not his business and so he kept silent on his concerns.
"I'm Doctor Allen Williams, I'm the neurologist consulting on Zack" the doctor continued, Carey and Kurt instantly looked up at the doctor, desperately searching his face for any sign of weather he brought good or bad news.
"Do you have the results of Zack's MRI?" Kurt asked hopefully
"Yes Mr. Martin, I have examined Zack's MRI results and consulted with my psychological colleagues on his case" The doctor began before Carey cut it
"Is it good news doctor?" her voice signalled she was desperately searching for hope, hope that Zack would eventually return to normal.
"Well, Zack's brain has been damaged by the multiple traumas his head suffered in the explosion, and the reason he is having trouble recognising you is due mostly to the damage injuring his ability to associate his memories of faces with other memories, however, the reason he can recognise his brother is more a psychological reason than anything else, in the opinion of my colleagues because he shared the traumatic experience with Cody, as well as their obviously strong connection as monozygotic twins, he is able to best remember Cody" The doctor concluded, Carey and Kurt's faces had looks mixed with confusion and blind hope, the doctor recognised this look and continued
"the brain is a very resilient organ, and in many cases it is able to repair itself to an extent, and I have no reason to suspect that Zack's case will be any different, however, I think it best, as do my colleagues, to expose Zack to the presence of those he has forgotten, if he can re learn the connections then it will certainly help his brain to repair itself"
"So Zack will eventually be able to recognise us?" Carey asked hopefully
"I believe so, because of the cardiac arrest that happened yesterday we had to wake him up earlier than what may have been optimum, and that probably meant his brain had less time to repair whilst he was comatose than it may have needed, but yes, I believe he will return to normal, from a physiological point of view at least." The doctor finished, his voice had been very comforting to Kurt and Carey, and the news he had delivered had been the best they could have hoped for, Zack was going to be back to normal with time, and there was something they could do to help. Carey felt so wonderful, not only that Zack would be getting better, but that there was something she could do to help, by helping him re-learn the connections between face, name and memory, it meant some of her feelings of being unable to help were washed away, and even though the problems with Mr. Moesby and Cody weighed on her shoulders, with the Zack issue solved to a degree she felt more able to deal with those issues in the order of urgency.
"Thank you so very much doctor" Said Carey, her thanks absolutely genuine and the doctor recognised this in his voice, he gave her a warm smile, shook Kurt's hand and he then departed.
Kurt and Carey were about to go back into Zack and Cody's room when a familiar voice came at them from down the hallway
"Carey, why didn't you tell me Zack had woken up?" it was Marion Moesby, still obviously confused about why she hadn't told him, he knew it was about their kiss, and he knew they needed to resolve this issue. Carey knew the issue of the kiss needed to be resolved as well, but she didn't know if she wanted to at that very moment.
OK there's another chapter for you all, i know it probably didn't please you guys so much if you love Zack and Cody heavy chapters but i thought it was important again to begin to examine a bit more of the other charters storylines again, and to move the Zack memory one along, and to bring up the Carey/Moesby romance! who knows where it will go! keep reading to find out, feel free to tell me what you think i should do with it, or with anything else for that matter! keep reading and reviewing i love them all, even criticisms, it all makes me want to write more and write better.
