I own nothing from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
"Oh god Max" Carey stuttered in shock before grabbing max in a weak hug
"Are you sure it's Cody's?" Carey asked nervously, she didn't know what she wanted the answer to be
"Yes, he's the only man I've...been with" Max answered through her tears
"Then that baby is my grandchild and I'll be there for you" Carey replied smiling warmly at Max. In a way Carey was happy, a part of Cody was going to live on
"Thank you Carey...But I don't know if I want to keep this baby, I don't know if I'm ready...I don't know what to do" Max wept to Carey. Max was just completely devastated that Cody was dead, they weren't in love, but she wanted to talk to him about his child now growing inside Max, even if it had been a mistake, it wasn't fair that Max had to face it without Cody.
"It's your decision to make Max, I'll be here to support you whatever you choose" Carey said It was comforting to Max but it drove home the fact that she had to face this alone.
"Have you told anyone else yet?" Carey asked
"No, I only found out for sure this morning, I took the test this morning, I haven't seen a doctor yet I wanted to tell Cody as soon as I knew, I thought he had a right to know" Max replied still weeping a bit but getting over it.
"Well there is no shortage of doctors around here, I'm sure we can find someone to see you" Carey was showing a faint air of excitement, it was beginning to dawn on her that she was a grandmother to be.
"Thank you Carey...Can I see Zack? Do you think he will wake up soon?" Max replied feeling a little better
"I hope so; I think he's making progress today, fighting his infection off" Carey replied
"That's good, I hope I can talk to him soon" Max replied
"Me too, lets go through" Carey said before leading Max toward Zacks room.
"Now Max, Zack isn't in a good state, so please be prepared, he's not how you remember him" Carey replied
"I'll be fine" Max replied confidently as she took a breath and prepared herself and walked in behind care.
Zack lay face up on the bed, not completely unconscious anymore, but still far from lucid. There was a multitude of tubes and wires leading from his body to various machines and bags and an amount of beeps and mechanical sounds filled the room.
"Zack, mommies back" Carey said rubbing his hair
"Ermmmmmmmm" Zack moaned
"Someone is here to see you" Carey said again, happy that Zack at least seemed to acknowledge her presence, which was progress at least.
"Hi Zack" Max began nervously "It's Max, I heard something had happened to you and Cody and I came as soon as I could...I'm so sorry about Cody" Max broke into tears as she spoke about Cody and remembered everything that was happening.
"Ermmmmmm" Zack moaned again.
"Hello Max" Moesby said greeting Max
"Hi" Max replied quietly
"How has Max been since I've been out?" Carey asked
"No change, I've just been sitting here" Moesby replied
"How is Cody's funeral coming along?" Carey asked
"My friend from the Funeral Planners convention we held at the Tipton last fall is going to call me later today, we'll get things moving. Have you decided what to do with Cody's body, shall I arrange for a funeral home to take him?" Moesby asked
"No, Zack is making progress; I want Cody to stay here in case Zack wakes up and wants to see him" Carey couldn't take the psychological step of having Cody's body moved away from the hospital, she couldn't bare to separate the twins even though it obviously had already happened.
"Max, do you want to go and see if we can see someone about your thing?" Carey asked after a period of tense chit chat about Zack and various other things.
"Okay" Max replied
"We'll be back Later then Marion, why don't you go and get some lunch, the doctors will call me if Zack wakes up" Carey said to Moesby who thought it was strange that Carey was leaving Zack so willingly.
"Alright, I'll see you later then" Moesby replied before leaving, knowing not to push Carey and Max for any details about their business.
A few minutes later Carey and Max left Zack and headed down to the hospitals reception after Moesby had left for his lunch and for his other business to be attended to.
"Hello" Carey began "Would it be possible for us to see someone about a possible pregnancy please" she concluded
"You'll need to see one of our clinic doctors who can refer you to a specialist, please head into the clinic, its just down that hall to the left" The receptionist asked and Carey and Max walked down the hall to prepare to find out for sure. It was certainly a trying moment for the two of them, IT hadn't fully sunk in for Max yet that she had gotten pregnant by Cody. It was especially painful that she had slept with the martin twin which she had liked, but not in that way, Max loved Zack and she would have preferred to be going through this with Zack. Come to think of it, Max would have just liked the father of her baby to be alive.
Meanwhile Marion Moesby had decided to deal with another issue arising from the situation, the absence of the boys father Kurt who had walked out. Unbeknownst to Carey Moesby had asked a PI friend of his to look into Kurt's whereabouts and he had recently received word that Kurt had stayed close by, staying at a hotel in Manhattan but avoiding the hospital and New York Tipton. Moesby sympathised with Kurt's situation and he hated seeing how close he could get with Carey whom Moesby was madly in love with, but he felt it was more important that Kurt was there for his son. Moesby knew the hotel and room that Kurt was occupying, where he had fled to and thus he called for a car to take him over to that hotel and quickly ascended up the lift to Kurt's room.
Moesby knocked and was greeted by an "I didn't order any room service" being yelled through the door by an obviously drunk Kurt.
"It's Marion Moesby, I need to talk to you" he replied strongly.
It took a minute but Kurt finally unlocked the door.
"What do you want?" Kurt slurred out
"It's not what I want, It's what your son needs" Moesby replied chillingly
"Cody's dead and Zack's dying...I'm a failure" Kurt slurred back
"Zack is recovering, he needs his dad, he's lost his brother and his best friend. I know you are hurting but you are Zack's father- You need to be there for him, It's your duty Kurt" Moesby replied strongly.
"I know" Kurt began to cry "But I can't do it..I'm weak...I've never been there for them before" he cried
"Then start now" Moesby replied still with a chill in his voice
"I just keep thinking that if I had Cody might have wanted to talk to me about whatever he got drunk about with Maddie and maybe they'd both still be alive today..." Kurt cried and Moesby's tone changed "It's not your fault Kurt, It's no ones fault It was a tragic accident and no one could have stopped it" he replied.
"But I can't help but blame myself" Kurt replied
"That may be the case, but it doesn't change that Zack needs you...But it's on you, I can't make you spend time with your son or help him through this, but I hope you'll make the right decision." Moesby said before leaving without another word leaving the drunken Kurt alone in his hotel room in the afternoon.
