First off a warning this fic will contain some issues some might not feel comfortable with, I'll try to downplay them to the best I can…. Example statutory rape will be one as Maddie is eighteen and Zack is fifteen, I believe in Massachusetts it is, at least that is what I got when I checked. I chose to do this type of story of Maddie and Zack seeing each other behind everyone's back, Maddie getting pregnant and having something happen to her that causes them to reveal themselves to the world. Maddie having to face harsh reality of dating someone three years her junior and Zack realizing that he's may become a single teenage father.

Disclaimer- I do not own The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. If did, I'd make sure it was on the air long enough for something to really happen between Zack and Maddie.

Our Own World!

By Robyn

Chapter 1

Eighteen-year-old Madeline Fitzpatrick wasn't like most girls her age, going to parties, enrolling in college, and dating different boys. . No Madeline or Maddie as everyone around her called her was eight months pregnant. Pregnant and alone, as most of the world saw her. Little did they know was that she wasn't without help, the father of her baby was constantly near.

Fifteen-year-old Zackary Martin wasn't like most boys his age, going to parties, playing on sports teams, and just goofing off. No Zackary or Zack as everyone called him, was about to become a father to a child he couldn't even acknowledge due to the fact if the did, all hell could break loose.

Zack and Maddie had fallen in love the summer of his fourteenth year, however due to the age difference they chose to keep their relationship a secret. A secret from their family, friends, and just plain overly opinionated strangers. Besides, both of them knew that their relationship wasn't exactly legal.

In front of their friends, and families they were just Zack and Maddie, two very different people with nothing in common. Behind closed doors, Zack and Maddie were the love of each other's lives, each other's world…however little did they know that world would soon come to an end.

Zach's twin brother Cody had a suspicion that his brother was the father of Maddie's offspring, but had never enough proof to prove his theory.

Zack lived with his mother and his twin in one of the suites of Boston's most prominent hotels, called The Tipton. It was in The Tipton lobby where the two lovers met three years ago. Zack suddenly developed a crush on the older blonde candy counter girl, and everyone at The Tipton, employer or visitor was aware of the crush, except for maybe Maddie herself. That however changed through time, and our couple is about to face one of the harshest moments in their relationship.

First, though, just how did this couple come to be, and how did they end up expecting a child. Let's flashback to about a year ago.

Flashback.

Summer of 2006

Fourteen-year-old Zack was coming down from his suite on the twenty-third floor with his identical twin brother Cody in tow, although they were considerable easy to tell apart by just the clothing and hairstyle they wore. Zack was more of jeans, graphic T's and hoodie sweatshirt type, he had cut his hair short and had spiked a bit. His twin on the other hand was more Khaki, dress slack, button down and polo shirt type, his hair cut the same length as his brother's but combed more conservatively.

Both had hit puberty full on, had a growth spurt and we're considerably taller now. Their voices had lowered a bit, and they were starting to show some facial hair, however not enough to consider shaving.

"Hey Zack!" Seventeen-year-old Maddie Fitzpatrick, the object of his affection greeted him. "Cody!" She greeted the other twin who had entered the lobby just seconds after Zack had. Cody smiled at Maddie, and then left as he headed to what would be the last day of school before Summer break, Zack however stayed back for a bit.

"How's it going, sweet thing" Asked Zack using his trademarked nickname for her. At first Maddie had found the corny nickname annoying, and just that corny, but in time she came to really love it. She seemed to realize it wouldn't be Zack if he didn't call her that.

She smiled. "Zack you really should be getting to school, it is your last day before summer vacation."

"It's only a half day anyways, it's not like we'll be doing anything important. How about I just stay here and watch you." Zack suggested as his mother Carrie came down from their suite eyes fixated on her oldest son.

"Zack as much as that sounds uhm, fun and interesting, you really need to go to your last day of School. It won't be so bad." Maddie assured him and his soon to be angry mother if he didn't get a move on.

"Zackary Martin why are you still here? I don't care if it's the last day of school, you are going young man." Carrie said in a voice that was decibels to high for the hotel lobby.

"Alright, mom I'm going. I'm going, hey Sweet thing, save me my favorite" Zack said with a wink as he picked up his book back. Maddie smiled at Zack's comment knowing exactly what "his favorite" was.

"That's my good little boy," Carrie cooed as she gave her son a hug.

"Oh Mom, please not in front of Maddie." Zack whimpered as he got out of her embrace and left. Winking at Maddie as he turned. Carrie chuckled a bit as she watched him leave the hotel.

"I can't believe they are growing up so fast, next year they'll be starting high school." Carrie said glumly. "Why are my babies growing up? Next thing you know they'll be married with children on the way, I'm too young to be a grandmother. I don't want my babies to leave me"

Maddie walked over to the saddened mother, and put her arm around her shoulder. "It'll be years before either of them leave, or have children. Don't worry too much; they're just graduating from junior high not going off to war."

"Yeah I suppose you're right, well I gotta go rehearse, I'll see you later!" Carrie said as she left the lobby to go practice her latest song number in the ballroom.

Maddie shrugged her shoulders and went back to work at her candy counter. She had to chuckle at Carrie for worrying so much, as if either of the boys were gonna go out and get married. Perhaps Carrie's mothering instincts were on overdrive. She supposed all mothers were that way. When their child was at a turning point in their life. Zack and Cody graduating from junior high would be considered a point in their life where they are moving past one thing onto something bigger.

For Zack this summer would mark the most important point in his life. Everyone included both Maddie and Zack were unaware how much of a important role she will play in his life to come.
