I Own nothing sourced from the Suite Life of Zack and Cody
"Morning Boys, we brought Breakfast" Carey and Kurt had just arrived at the hospital the morning after Maddie's incident, Moesby had stayed with the boys and talked for a while but left not long after midnight.
"Morning Mom, Morning Dad, wow Bacon and Pancakes" Cody exclaimed, he was not a fan of the hospital food so he was excited to get this much nicer meal
"Yeah! Thanks" Zack also exclaimed.
"Marion told me what happened with Maddie, I saw him at the hotel when we were leaving, he wanted me to let you know she was released from hospital early this morning, just with some stiches for a gash" Carey said happily, taking great pleasure in seeing her children's faces light up at the happy news.
"That's great, I was so worried about her" Zack said happily
"I know you were honey, its good your friend will be alright, someone needs to talk to her though, so it doesn't happen again" Carey replied.
"So guys, has the doctor been in to see you yet?" Kurt interjected
"Nope, nothing so far" Cody replied
"Well, I'm sure they'll be in soon, and I'm sure they'll let you out today, this room is kinda depressing, and I'm not stuck in here, so hopefully you guys can go home" Kurt said trying to keep Zack and Cody as happy as possible
"Yeah, hopefully" Cody replied.
Not long afterwards a kind lady who looked like a doctor entered the room
"Good Morning, I'm the orthotic specialist; I'm supposed to fit a Cody Martin for a walking cast" the news was great for Cody; finally he would be able to walk around properly, having been confined mostly to his bed or moving around on crutches for the past few days.
"I'm Cody" he said happily
"I'm Emily, can I just get you to come out of the bed and move over to that chair and we'll get started" the kindly lady began, Cody eagerly got out of bed and with Carey's help he got across the hospital room to the chair.
"OK, I think this one should do" Emily said grabbing a boot marked M from the box she brought in with her, it was a large black boot, with a thick sole that would be fastened to Cody with Velcro.
"Dude, it looks like one of Arwin's inventions" Zack sniggered upon seeing the boot
"Shut up Zack" Cody snapped back
Emily began strapping and adjusting all the straps on Cody's new foot ware until the boot was finally properly attached and was tight enough.
"Ok Cody, have a walk around" she said, Cody found walking with the boot was fairly easy, though a little awkward as he couldn't flex his ankle.
"Good, looks like that's all set then, I'll leave you to it" Emily said as she smiled and left garnering the thanks of the Martin family.
"Well Cody, up and walking again" Kurt said
"Yup" Cody smiled back
"Good Work Little bro, even if you do look like a weirdo walking like that, and your not going to be able to sneak up on anyone either" Zack said slyly
"Thanks Zack" Cody replied dryly
"Be nice boys" Carey cut in.
"So when will be known if we can go home?" Zack groaned the hospital wasn't suiting him much at all; he was very eagre to get back to the comfort of his hotel suite at the Tipton hotel. Zack didn't want to say it aloud, for fear of getting a stern talking to from Cody, but he was very eagre to find out just what London had left for him in her will, it sickened him that he would think of money in such a time, but he wanted to be able to be free, Zack knew he wouldn't be able to go to college, and this could just set him on the path to a good life he wanted. Zack didn't think Cody would understand though, and he wouldn't be able to explain it to Cody properly because he knew Cody's rather irrational thoughts that had plagued him recently would take over.
"What time is the will reading?" Zack asked
"3pm, at the attorney's downtown offices" Carey replied
"I don't know if I want to go" Cody said
"Don't worry bro, I can tell you how rich you've become if you like" Zack said, trying sound sarcastic, but there was a touch of sincerity in his voice, Cody thankfully didn't notice it though.
"Zack, I'm sure Cody just doesn't want to see London, I don't know if any of us could properly deal with seeing her, it will be a very hard thing, but it is her final wish that we get whatever she's decided to give us" Carey said Cody remained silent, talking about London was still a painful thing.
Not long after the doctors began their daily rounds and arrived at Zack and Cody's room
"How are you feeling today boys?" They were asked
"Pretty good, do you think we can go home?" Cody asked hopefully
"Well, I've been talking to the specialists, they'd like us to do just a few more quick tests on Zack and Cody, and if they haven't changed since yesterday then you can definitely go home" The doctor happily replied, it was a very welcome prognosis, and Zack and Cody were conservatively happy about it.
"Alright, well, I'm pretty sure the boy's can go home today, so if one of you wants to go and get them some clothes to be discharged in it would be good, and we'll take them for the tests in the next few minutes and hopefully we'll have a definite yes in the next few hours" The doctor finished, Kurt offered to get the clothes and left at the same time as the doctor.
"Yes, almost home free!" Zack exclaimed
"I know, though, I don't know how it will feel going back to the Tipton" Cody replied, happy, but with a kind of distant depressing sound to his voice.
Ninety minutes later Zack and Cody had gone through all their final tests and Zack had informed a neurological consultant that he was rapidly becoming able to recognise people again, all were very good signs and the doctors were consistently astounded at the speed of Zack and Cody's recovery.
"Well boys, you passed the test" The doctor was informing them
"Really? It must be the first test Zack's ever passed" Cody quipped and sniggered
"Shut up dork" Zack replied in a loving kind of way.
"You're both going home; I'll have someone bring you the discharge papers, now there are just a few things I want to go over with all of you in regards to this hospital in the home program I'm discharging you into" The doctors began and everyone gave him their full attention, Zack and Cody were willing to follow pretty much any of his instructions if it meant they could leave the confine of their hospital.
"You will need to visit our outpatient clinic every 3 days so that we can perform examinations and do tests on you, just to make sure everything is healing as well as possible"
"Fine"
"Zack and Cody will need to avoid any strenuous physical activities, and for the most part, remain in your room as much as possible, we will assign a nurse to you who will come by once a day to check your medications and dressings as well as addressing any concerns you might have" the doctor concluded his instructions.
Half an hour later Zack and Cody had been officially discharged from the Boston Medical Centre and were making their way down to Carey's car which Kurt had driven around to the front of the hospital.
"Wow, it's great to be outside in the fresh summer air, isn't it Cody?" Zack asked, very happy to be allowed to go home.
"Yeah" Cody replied, sounding less than enthused
"What wrong bro?" Zack asked, concerned at Cody's lack of excitement
"I'm just thinking about what it's going to be like going back to the Tipton, it's going to be full of memories about London" Cody replied, his sadness was a good point
"I'm here for you bro, anything you need, I'm here for you" Zack replied warmly, he cared very deeply for his brother.
"Thanks Zack"
The ride to the Tipton was full of apprehension for Cody, he didn't know how he was going to react, but he was sure it wouldn't be as happy a homecoming for him as it was for Zack. Outside the hotel the media had gathered, in Maddie's condition Mr. Tipton had arranged for London's body to lie in state in the Tipton ballroom beginning that evening, and the media were assembling for any information about London's will. Zack noticed a huge assortment of flowers and cards that had been left by London's fans outside the hotel; he pointed this out to Cody who smiled happy London had made so many people happy.
As Carey pulled up outside the hotel Zack and Cody went to get out of the Car, because Cody was London's producer and was visible on 'Yay me' the media recognised him instantly and began to harass him about London's death
"Mr. Martin, Mr. Marin. Do you have any comment about these events?" the questions were so frequent and there were so many Cody couldn't really hear any of them properly and so just repeated
"No Comment" over and over, forcing his way into the hotel, helped along by everyone"
Cody was very upset and overwhelmed by everything, and when he finally got into the hotel lobby, the site of so many fun times, he just broke down in tears, it was so painful to be there, and he could just see London everywhere.
"Welcome home Zack and Cody" all the staff cheered as they entered the lobby, the hotel had been very dull without them, but everyone's celebration was muted upon seeing Cody's depression.
"He's just upset about being back here, I am too, but I'm not as much of a baby" Zack teased, before going over to hug Cody and take him up to their room. Zack and Cody got into the elevator, they knew it was going to again be a hard day, with everything more they had to do, but at least they were now together in a place they found most comfortable, together they would get through everything though, that much they knew.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter, you'll find out what London left everyone soon enough, and the story will reach its conclusion after this ridiculously long novel length story! I absolutely never thought I'd write this much, I didn't think I had the ability! I'm amazed at myself, and it's because of my readers I keep writing! So keep reading and reviewing! Love you all! I might not be able to update again until after Christmas so if I don't Merry Christmas to everyone!
