I'm sooo sorry it took me so long to update, guys! I haven't been busy or anything, I just haven't felt like updating. I finally got to it, though! Here it is. I'm sorry it's so much shorter than the other chapters. I'll try to make the next chapter better! Oh, I need ideas on the next chapter, so give me some suggestions!

Boris Yeltsin: That's a really good idea. It'll show her ability to care for a child and it'll show everyone else that she's capable of being responsible.

The Red Sox: Thanks for the review! And yeah, Maddie is still young, lol. She's only thirty years old, so imagine how she feels.

Avatarfanx2: Thank you! Thanks for the review.

Chapter Ten: Telling Carey

Maddie let out a small breath and she bit her lip, running her hand through her hair. She had tears streaming down her cheeks and she was in the Martin suite, waiting for Carey to get off work, because she had to tell her about her and Zack. She found out that she's pregnant this morning, and the whole thing has her on edge. She didn't know what to do or what to say and she felt as if she'd do the wrong thing and react the wrong way about it.

As the door opened, Maddie turned around and was a little relieved when she saw that it was Carey. She had to tell her, no matter how bad it would seem.

"Maddie, what's wrong Honey?" Carey asked.

"I have to talk to you," Maddie said.

"Okay. Go ahead."

"Um… I-It's about Zack… and me."

"Okay. What about you?"

"I'm um… I-I… We… We're…"

"Maddie, calm down and talk to me."

Maddie let out a small breath and she stayed silent for a few seconds. "Zack and I had sex and now I'm pregnant and I'm terrified and I don't know what to do and I don't know what to tell him or how to tell him and I'm totally freaking out," she said, hurriedly.

Carey stared at Maddie for a few seconds. "…You're making me a grandmother?"

"…Yeah… I-I… I'm sorry, we just… We weren't thinking."

"It's okay, Maddie; calm down."

"I didn't mean for any of it to happen; I didn't mean to get pregnant," Maddie said, gasping to catch her breath.

"Maddie! Calm down, Honey," Carey said, sitting Maddie down on the couch. "Breathe Sweetie, it's okay."

"We didn't mean for anything to happen, we were just so cau—caught up in the m-moment."

"Maddie, you're going to have an asthma attack; calm down."

Maddie let out a rack of sobs and she placed her hand on her stomach, attempting to catch her breath. It took a couple minutes, but she finally recovered and calmed down, only letting small sniffles escape occasionally.

"Alright… Now, tell me," Carey said. "How did this all happen?"

"We just… I was giving him his birthday present and it got emotional and he kissed me and it just took off from there… I would have reminded him about protection, but I forgot about it… I wasn't thinking."

"Honey, you have to be more careful with your actions. Think about Katie, Maddie… She needs her mother."

"I know… I just… It's so hard…"

"Taking care of Katie?"

"No. I mean… Yes, but…"

"But what?"

"It's everything. Raising Katie. Losing Liam, the new baby. My relationship with Zack…"

"What's wrong with your relationship?"

"Nothing… Nothing's wrong with it. It's just… It's new… I'm confused about so much…"

"Well, just remember that I'll always be here for you, no matter what. Maddie, you know I love you."

"I know, I just… I don't know what to do. I'm scared, I'm confused, I'm overwhelmed..."

"I know. Just, don't worry about it right now, okay? Why don't you go to the boys' room. You can lay down. I'll talk to Zack when he gets home."

Maddie sniffled and she rubbed her eyes as Carey pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry, Carey; we really didn't mean to get pregnant…"

"I know, Honey; it's alright. Go lay down. I'll tell Zack you're in there later."

Maddie nodded and she stood up from the couch. "Thanks, Carey…"

"Anytime. I'll be here for whatever you need."

Maddie walked into Zack and Cody's room and she let out a small breath, closing the door behind her. She sat on Zack's bed and she laid down easily. She turned over on her side and smiled, seeing a picture of her and Zack. It was an old picture. It was during the week they met. Zack was sitting in Maddie's lap and they both had their arms around each other, with big smiles on their faces. She remembered Carey taking that picture.

Letting out a small sigh, Maddie put the picture back on Zack's nightstand and she closed her eyes, falling into a slumber.
