Again, I own nothing sourced from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.

"Boys? Where are you going?" Zack and Cody were being stopped by the Duty nurse on their ward as they attempted to make their way to Maddie who had just been brought into the ER downstairs.

"Our friend was just brought into the ER, we have to go and see if she's alright" Zack protested loudly

"I'm sorry, but only family is allowed in the ER, and it wouldn't be responsible for me to have you two walking around the hospital, especially you Cody, since you've got no kind of cast on that leg at the moment.

"Please, I have to see her" Zack protested again, Cody wanted to see Maddie, but was more content to obey the nurse and was overall a less argumentative person.

"I can have someone give an update on her condition, but even if I was to let you go down, they won't let you into the ER when you get there" The nurse said, she was being as compassionate as she could be, given that she was really powerless to do much about the situation. Zack didn't want to accept that he couldn't see Maddie so Cody spoke up and agreed to the nurse's proposal, knowing that arguing would do no good

"Madeline Fitzpatrick is her name, C'mon Zack; let's go back to the room" Cody said, Zack silently agreed and the nurse promised to call the ER and tell the boys what she could as soon as possible.

"Maddie just has to be alright, she just has to be" Zack said

"I'm sure she will be, don't worry Zack"

Zack and Cody just waited silently for news to come of Maddie's situation. It was like waiting an eternity, both boys just waiting silently for news, they didn't say a word, and they just sat together on Cody's bed close to each other. Finally after what seemed like an age the nurse came into their room, Cody searched her face for clues about what the news would be, he breathed a huge sigh of relief when he saw that she was smiling.

"I called the ER, Miss. Fitzpatrick has passed out from the alcohol, they are pumping her stomach in case she's got any alcohol poisoning, she also has a nasty gash on her forehead and a bloody but not broken nose, she'll need stitches and will probably spend the night in the ER, but she'll be alright" the nurse warmly smiling the whole time she spoke. It was such a relief to Zack and Cody that Maddie would be alright; their worst fears had come so close to being realised, they knew they couldn't have dealt with more pain, and they had been spared from having to.

"Thank you" Cody said, he was being polite to the nurse by saying it, but in truth, his thanks went out to more than just the lovely duty nurse who had delivered the happy news.

Downstairs Mr. Moesby was still outside the curtains separating him from Maddie, he didn't know what Zack and Cody had just been told, he was so worried about what was wrong with Maddie, it was so distressing to see her passed out and bleeding.

"Sir" A doctor came out from behind the curtain and began talking to Mr. Moesby

"Madeline is going to be just fine, we've pumped her stomach and we're stitching up her forehead, she will have to spend the night here in the ER, but she'll be just fine by morning, once she gets over the alcohol" Moesby was so relieved, he had been so worried about her.

"Thank you, her family should be here soon, I'm so glad she's going to be alright, can I talk to her?" Moesby asked

"She's still pretty out; I wouldn't suggest anyone talk to her for the next couple of hours" was his answer.

Not long after Moesby had been told the happy news of Maddie's wellbeing by the doctors Mr. and Mrs. Fitzpatrick arrived at the Hospital

"Oh Marion, thank you so much for getting Maddie, I can't thank you enough" Mrs. Fitzpatrick said warmly as she saw Moesby.

"I love Maddie Mrs. Fitzpatrick, it was the least I could do, I'll give you and your husband some time with Maddie" Moesby said, feeling that the family needed time with her more than he did, he felt a small amount of resentment toward them, because they had let this happen to Maddie.

Moesby thought whilst Maddie's parents were spending some time with her he would go up and see the Twins, he hadn't had a chance to talk to them alone since all this had happened, he felt he could talk most frankly about his feelings with them, he had previously been able to with Carey, but since their kiss it had been impossible. Moesby ascended the lift toward the Twins' room.

"Mr. Moesby" The twins exclaimed when Marion Moesby arrived at their room

"Hello Boys, Maddie's family is with her now, so I thought I would come and have a talk to you, about everything" Moesby replied, the Twins were oddly happy to see him, a feeling neither of them would have ever expected to have had a few days previously.

"Thank you for getting Maddie" Zack said, he had never been so truly greatful to Mr. Moesby in all his time of knowing him.

"It was the least I could do boys, I love Maddie, she is very dear to me, I had to do what I could to help, but Maddie is OK, I wanted to see how you were doing with all this that has happened, particularly you Cody, I know you were rather fond of London" Moesby began to say, Zack was a little annoyed that Moesby showed more concern for Cody, he was screwed up by all this as well.

"I don't know how well I'm doing, I loved London, it hurts that she's gone, but we've all gone through so much, I've got to get through as well as I can, don't worry though, I'm not going to get drunk like Maddie" Cody said in a depressed tone.

"Indeed we do" Moesby replied, Moesby suddenly noticed Zack's look of depression and despair
"What wrong Zack? How are you doing?" He asked

"I don't know, really, I'm trying to be strong, but everything is a whirlwind you know, but while I'm with Cody everything will be fine" Zack replied

"How are you doing Mr. Moesby?" Cody asked

"Please, call me Marion, I don't know, I feel like I could have done something to save my sweet London from death, but I I couldn't, now maybe I've saved Maddie there are some feelings of triumph, but still, I feel I could have been better to London" Moesby teared up a little as he said this.

"Marion, London loved you, you couldn't have done anything more to save her" Zack tried to comfort the man who for so long had been his nemesis.

"Yes, well, it's the feeling I have, now Carey tell me you boys may be out of here tomorrow?" Moesby moved on

"Yes hopefully" Cody replied

"When will you know?" Moesby asked

"Sometime in the morning" Zack replied.

Zack, Cody and Moesby sat and talked for a while, all the while wondering how Maddie was doing downstairs, hopeful of her making a recovery and hoping that in the morning they would be allowed to return home from the hospital.

Maddie is OK! Hope you enjoyed this chapter and hope your still enjoying the story, let me know what you think! Peace out!
