Arwin who turned around to ask Carey something saw the kiss and walked off feeling heartbroken. After a few more martinis' Carey could hardly stand and maddie felt a little buzzed but not as much as Carey did. They left with maddie practically carrying Carey. She found the subway and got on and rode all the way back to the hotel with Carey in a drunken stupor.
When they got back to the hotel every thing in the lobby was off except one light where an empty chair sat. Maddie sat Carey down in the chair and got her an ice rag from the kitchen. When she came back with the rag Carey grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into her lap. Maddie leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips while Carey pulled her more into her lap so maddie was kissing her face to face.
Neither one of them hadn't noticed or heard the elevator bell ding and seen London coming out of the elevator and stopping to see them and hiding behind the couch just staring. Carey who already had her hands on maddie's waist moved them up under her shirt and up her back and started unfastening her bra when maddie pulled away from her lips. They got up and went to the elevator still not noticing London hiding behind the couch when all she wanted was to come down to the lobby and get a soda. Instead she saw just how involved maddie and Carey really were.
It went way beyond when she saw them holding hands. They were actually having sex. She went back to her room and got into her bed with the thought still in her head and also wondering about asking maddie about it. Carey and maddie went into their room and walking ever so gently not to wake the boys; got into their pajamas and got into bed.
The next morning the boys got up before their mother again, while Zack was in the shower, Cody made breakfast for everyone. Zack came from his shower and leaned near his mother to wake her up. Cody went to the medicine cabinet and retrieved the bottle of Tylenol and shook two out of the bottle, got a glass of water, and tapped his mother on her back to tell her he had it.
She got from under the pillow and sat up, got the pills and water from Cody, took them and got back under her pillow. They left and ten minutes later maddie awoke with a really bad headache.
She got up and took two Tylenol and got back in bed hoping it will go away if she went back to sleep. Maddie got up and made breakfast for her and Carey, but had to serve it to Carey in bed because she couldn't get up because she was hurting. Maddie was putting on her uniform to go downstairs and work at the candy counter but she couldn't make her skirt zip up until Carey came through the door.
Maddie turned around and faced the wall leaning on Carey for support. Carey pulled her shirt tight around her stomach. And there was a bump a little bigger than a softball filling out maddie's shirt. She removed her hand while maddie replaced it with hers. She moved it up and down the bump and smiled. You'll never forget pregnancy no matter how old you are. I know I never did and sometimes I have to say I wish I could do it all over again just to not only have the memories but to feel all those wonderful kicks, and going to the doctor's office hearing their heartbeats, looking at them on the ultrasound, and the day I held them in my arms for the first time.

Steaminess
Maddie ran out of the elevator when she reached to lobby and went over to the candy counter. She came from behind the counter and Mr. Moseby happened to look down and see the bulge sticking out from her shirt. He thought for a second. He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her away from the counter; maddie looked so confused and was wondering why he pulled her away from the counter. She was the first person I told and she said I could live with her if my grandmother kicked me out which she did but not before she called me a whore. He turned around and saw Carey standing behind him with her arms crossed and the sound of harshness in her voice.
Not to mention she might get in a lot of trouble if she did tell. So I'll be a young grandmother and one of my boys will be father at the age of I booked her an appointment to get an ultrasound tomorrow so we can find out what she's having. She stood to leave and was walking to the door when Mr.
Moseby gave her a hug. She stayed in his embrace for a few minutes until she started to cry. Sniffles well after they boys told me about the baby maddie and I uh… made out but that's not what's so terrible. She fell into his arms crying hard. He pulled her close and held her like a father would a daughter. Like they would beat me and rape me and leaving me powerless to fight them. Everything will work out you'll see. He hugged her again and she left his office and went back up to the room where she found zack watching TV.
I haven't stopped thinking about them or you. He slid his hand across her butt and squeezed it hard; her eyes grew wide and moved away from him. She walked back until she landed on the couch while zack got on top of her and kissed her hard on the lips. She tried to push him away but he held her arms down and got more on top of her. She was surprised at how much strength he had against her. She tried to scream but he held a hand over her mouth while he ripped her shirt and stripped her with the other.
He moved his hand from her mouth long enough for her to try and talk him out of it. He finished stripping her and himself of their clothes with his hands and while still holding her down he thrust himself into her. She tried to scream but no sound came out instead she started to cry knowing she couldn't break free of his grip, and she couldn't tell him to stop because she was in so much pain. The attack seemed to go on for hours or so she thought until he slid himself out of her and let go of her hands so they could get dressed.
She got up and started to go to the bathroom but zack grabbed her arm and sat her back down. She nodded in response because she couldn't speak. During the attack when she tried to scream but her mouth was dry so she went to the kitchen and got a glass of water and downed it quickly and started to leave. She went down to the lobby where it was bare except for Mr. He looked up and saw her coming to him. He was shocked at her appearance. Her face was covered in black lines from her mascara, her shirt was ripped from top to bottom and she was walking slower than usual.
He went over to her and quickly put her in his office. She fell into his arms crying, sobbing and slumped to the floor with her face buried in his shoulder. He put his arms around her and held her close. She went back upstairs to the room where zack was still in the same place when she left. She went right past him to her own room. She didn't even bother taking off her clothes, she got in her bed and cried herself to sleep. Cody went into his room to do homework and maddie sat beside zack to watch TV.
Half an hour later zack go up and went into his mother's room, shut the door, and crawled up beside her. He stroked her hair and moved his hand down her breast, and into her pants. He kissed her lips gently and lay beside her removing his hand from her pants and wrapped them her waist and fell asleep. She woke to see zack lying beside her, with his hands around her waist.
She tried to get up without waking him but as soon as she got up and started to leave he caught her. She got back in bed and laid down beside zack. She decided that if he was going to keep doing this she thought it was best for her not to make him angry. She already found out how strong he was today when he raped her. She didn't want to be beaten and raped. Getting raped was the worst thing she has ever experienced and she didn't want to go through that again.
He slid off her shirt, and removed her pants leaving her in her bra and underwear. He kissed her lips, her neck, removed her bra and sucked on her breasts; he slid off her panties, unzipped his pants and entered her. She looked away so she could try to forget it was happening but he grabbed her chin to make him look at her. He slid out of her, zipped up his pants, and left.
She pulled the covers over her and started to cry. She held her covers around her like a security blanket not wanting to leave her room ever again. He kissed her on the lips and left the room. When she heard the suite door close she got up, dressed, and went downstairs to the lobby. She didn't see Mr. Moseby standing at the desk so she knocked on his office door.
He looked up and saw Carey standing at his door. He got up quickly, sat her down, and locked his door. After I went back to the room after seeing you I went into my bedroom and cried. I think I fell asleep cause when I woke up he was beside me with his arms around my waist. I got up trying not to wake him but he caught me and he… Cries ". I need a favor from you. The boys are out and I… wanted to go to the hospital for a… rape kit. He grabbed her by the arm and took her to the Boston memorial hospital.
She talked to the receptionist who sent her to see Doctor Warner. She took her into a room to do the rape kit. He stood beside Carey while the rape kit was being processed. Half and hour later when it was done, Doctor Warner got up the evidence and sealed them in the appropriate boxes. She walked off to admitting while Mr. Moseby asked the nurse to let them have some privacy. When he turned around he saw that Carey had fallen asleep in the bed. He walked over to her and sat beside her.
He went to move a stray piece of hair from her face but knocked over her purse on the floor. He bent down and started to put everything back into the purse when he came across a piece of paper with Kurt's number on it. He put the purse back on the bed and went outside to call her ex-husband. He went back into the hospital room where Carey was still sleeping. He sat beside her and held her hand. He had always considered her a daughter to him.
They went back down to the lobby and knocked on his office door. When they heard no answer they went in and found his office empty so they went back to the suite and called her cell phone. Back at the hospital Mr. Moseby heard her phone ring and took it out of her purse and looked at the caller id. He saw it was her suite number and turned the phone off. He didn't want zack to know where she was. A few minutes later she woke up and looked to the side and saw Mr. Moseby holding her hand.
I would never leave you. I uh…called your ex-husband he should be here by now. And your phone rang but it was your suite number and I thought it was zack so I turned it off so he wouldn't know where you were. By the way you never answered my question. Did zack threaten you? He ran to the elevator and hit the 6 button. When he reached the 6th floor he ran to her room and flung open the door.
Do you want me to tell him? He left her room, and drove to the hotel to confront his son. He got out of the car, ran into the lobby, and took the elevator to the 23rd floor, and banged on the door to the suite. Kurt slapped him so hard across the face that zack spat out blood. Maddie and Cody looked at him with disgust, and moved away from him. The police who were standing outside of the door from being tipped off by Mr. Moseby quickly busted in with their guns cocked aiming at everyone. You have the right to remain silent, if you give up that right anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law…".
They handcuffed him and took him away for questioning. Cody, Maddie, and Kurt watched in amazement as they saw him leave. The door closing behind her cut off the late afternoon sun. When her eyes adjusted to the change in lighting, the nondescript lobby surprised her. He gave her an outrageous wink and pulled her farther inside.
