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

"C'mon Cody" were the breathless words of the lead surgeon as he desperately fought to step the profuse bleeding from Cody's abdomen and save his life. Cody had been bleeding profusely for several minutes after he had shuddered on the operating table and caused a slipped scalpel into some veins and arteries as they had been attempting to remove one of his ruined Kidneys and prepare him to have one of his brothers transplanted into him.

Cody's pulse was racing and his blood pressure low and was fast going into shock, and adding to the problem was that he was getting far from enough oxygen without adequate blood flow, and the massive transfusions being pumped into his veins were only of limited help at this stage. All the while Carey Martin, Kurt Martin and Marion Moesby sat in the viewing area completely a gasp, just hoping Cody would survive; none of them knew how they could go on.

"I've found a bleeder, clamp" the surgeon yelled before being handed a tool which he used to stop the bleeding from the artery, stopping a lot of the blood flow.

"His pressure is going back up, pulse is still unstable" another doctor said, but the lead surgeons main focus was on the still bleeding veins, but they were now plainly visible as Cody's blood was suctioned away , the doctor managed to clamp them off quickly allowing for Cody's blood supplies to be replenished with the infusions.

"He's in Tachycardia" A doctor yelled, Cody's heart was beating much too fast and was in serious danger of stopped altogether

"Get the paddles, charged 250" The lead surgeon yelled as he grabbed the defibrillator and placed it on Cody's chest. "Clear" he yelled before shocking Cody

"No change" another doctor yelled

"Go again" the lead surgeon said "charge 300...clear" he yelled before again shocking Cody

"He's going into ventricular fibrillation" the monitoring doctor yelled, Cody's heart was still not beating as it should; he was now extremely close to death.

"Please survive Cody, please Cody, do it for Mommy" Carey was whispering as Kurt held on of her hands tightly and Moesby the other, all three of them silently praying for Cody's survival. They had very little idea just what the problem was but they had seen all the blood and seen Zack removed from the room, so they were sure it was something very bad indeed.

"Charge 350" The lead surgeon yelled before saying "Clear" again and shocking Cody once more, his heart monitor flashed normal but returned to its dangerously abnormal state soon later, it was a dire situation now, Cody was not getting enough oxygen around his body, Doctors were pumping his chest between shocks and the ventilator purity had been increased, all desperate measures to try and revive him, but all seemed utterly hopeless, it seemed that Cody Martin was going to die.

Meanwhile in the operating room next door Zack, away from the watchful eye of his mother was still undergoing surgery to carefully remove his Kidney, extra care was now being taken since he himself had almost died in the much the same way as Cody not long before.

"Alright Zacky, we're almost done, just a few more cuts" the surgeon said to Zack's unconscious figure. "How are his vitals?" He said out loud to his team

"Weak, but unchanged, BP 90 over sixty, pulse 85" a doctor replied. The lead surgeon sighed as if to show he was not happy with the figures, but that they were not a significant problem either, the bigger problem for Zack in physiological terms would be that he had gone a significant period of time with a lower than adequate oxygen flow through his veins.

Zack's surgery continued with the structures around his right Kidney being carefully separated and the blood flows to his kidney ended and all the necessary work done.

"There, get a bag and ice ready, I'm going to stop the blood flow to the Kidney now, we will only have a limited amount of time for it to stay viable, find out how they are going in the there" The surgeon asked before proceeding.

Another doctor went over to an intercom to call Cody's Operating room

"We're ready with the Kidney, how are you going?" The doctor asked

"Not ready, he's in Fibrillation, we're attempting revival, still no improvements, he lost a lot of blood...Ice the kidney" was the response. Having to ice the kidney would decrease the chances of the transplant being successful, so the hope was that Cody's revival would be successful and that he would be able to receive the Kidney successfully soon.

"You heard him, get the ice box ready" The lead surgeon asked before receiving a clap and stopping the blood flow to Zack's Kidney, the organ now only had limited life without an active blood flow before the tissue died, and likely Cody along with it.

Zack's Kidney was soon out of his body and in an ice box and the work began on closing Zack's would as soon as possible and getting him up to recovery in the Intensive Care Unit.

Cody's fortunes however were not as bright, revival attempts had been going for almost 40 minutes now, since his heart first went out of rhythm due to massive bleeding, Cody had lost at least 40% of his total blood volume the surgeons believed and whilst large amounts had been pumped into him through transfusions his heart was still refusing to beat properly, but the surgeons were simply not going to give up and let Cody die as Carey, Kurt and Moesby still sat transfixed on the horrible scene around Cody, people were everywhere desperately shocking him, pumping his chest, infusing him fluids and giving him drugs, just desperately trying to make sure that Cody didn't die, and that if he did survive he would be able to make a full recovery.

"C'mon Cody dammit, I'm not going to lose you!" The surgeon yelled as he prepared the paddles once again for another shock "Charge 360...Clear!" nothing, no response from Cody's heart, it was like it had just given up. The surgeon wiped the sweat off his forehead as he tried to think what to do, he dared not glance up at the family who so desperately wanted Cody to survive.

Carey and Kurt's eyes were flooded with tears; they didn't even know consciously that Zack was out of the room, they couldn't possibly focus on anything except willing Cody to be alright, they just sat there holding each other's hands desperately hoping their baby would be alright. Moesby just sat silently, his arm around Carey's shoulders, trying to comfort her with his touch, but in this situation there was nothing he could do.

"PLEASE PLEASE CODY PLEASE BE ALRIGHT" Carey began to wail through horrible tears, it was a heart wrenching site for anyone to see, to see a mother so desperately hope for her child's survival and for her to be seeing Cody as good as dead on the table, many hands of some of the words best doctors unable to snatch him back from the dead.

"Bill, he's gone, call it, he's been in V-Fib for over half an hour now" another doctor told the lead surgeon, but he would have none of it.

"Go again" he demanded "Charge 360...clear" this time it was like a sign from above, Cody's heart started beating again normally.

"Sinus rhythm" A doctor yelled, the surgeon, Bill, couldn't smile, but he was relieved

"Welcome back Kid" Bill began "You've got a long way to go yet though" he said to Cody "Alright people, let's get ourselves a Kidney and get it in to this boy as soon as possible"

There we go guys! I've finally got a free Saturday night so I thought I'd do some writing and I hope it's paid off and you all enjoyed it, even if it was oh so dramatic and sad, Cody's not out of the woods yet, but he may well just survive this surgery and live to see another day! But we will see as always. Plenty more drama, depression, happiness and general eventfulness to come so stay tuned! Watch this space!
