As you walked down the busy hospital hallway your phone went off signalling you received a text. You finally had a minute to yourself so you stopped to check your phone. Thinking it was a text from one of your co-workers, it ended up being a text from your husband, Mark Scheifele.

Marky💍: Hey love. I hope today is going better than yesterday for you. Make sure you watch the game tonight, I have a surprise for you ❤️ Love you.

You stood there smiling at his text. You weren't having the best week so far but today was finally bare able. You had been assigned to the ICU ever since the pandemic hit its high, in the city. It been about a year since you had a good day at work. You were constantly running around from room to room. You were just great full that everything is slowly getting better day by day. But you could at least say your days were never boring. You had a love/hate relationship with your area. You loved working with the ICU teams and loved meeting all the patients. What you hated was seeing such great people stuck in the ICU and even worse sometimes not see them make it out.

Y/N: Today has been much better! I'll try to watch tonight, depends how this last hour goes and if my replacement shows up. Good luck tonight babe, Love you so much 😘

Your last hour was clear no big emergencies and your replacement showed up right on time. So you headed home to relax and watch Mark's hockey game.

You got home with just under an hour before the game started so you quickly showered, changing into your comfy clothes and got ready to relax. Just as you sat down the game had started.

As first intermission approached you decided to get up and make something to eat. You turned the TV up so that you were still able to hear the game in the kitchen. Just as intermission was coming to the end there was a few announcements that were being made. As you finished up and headed back to the living room to start eating.

'Today's healthcare hero is Dr. Y/N L/N or better known as Y/N Scheifele. The wife of Winnipeg Jets forward, Mark Scheifele"

Your head shot up at the TV as you heard the announcer through the speakers. You were confused but then realized this was Mark's surprise for you.

"Y/N has been working along side the ICU teams ever since the pandemic began, at HSC Hospital. Even before this she worked 3 years at the children's hospital helping create smiles for the ones that needed it most. Dr. L/N works day and night trying to help her patients get the help they need and make sure they get the best care possible. She wants only the best for everyone that enters the hospital. On behalf of the city of Winnipeg and the Jets. Thank you Dr. Y/N L/N for everything you do"

You smiled at the TV as they showed multiple pictures of you in the covid units and even at the children's hospital. It was so amazing how Mark set that up for you. Just as you thought everything was done they announced that Mark had prepared a little something for you. You perked up and waited for Mark to appear.

"Hey Y/N. I know you haven't been having the greatest couple of days at work, with things not going the way you planned. I wanted to do this for you to show you that's its not only me that appreciates everything you do. You have done so much for this city and you deserve to be shown appreciation for it. You are not only an amazing wife and doctor but also an amazing person as a whole. I love you so much Y/N. I hope this helps make your tough days a little better"

The prerecorded video ended with Mark smiling to the camera. You started to tear up at what Mark had said about you. You wanted to call him to thank him but the second period was already under way. So you decided to wait until he got home.

By the time the third period was on you had started to drifting off to sleep. You tried so hard to see the end of the game but it was no use you fell asleep on the couch with more than half of the third to go.

"Y/N, Y/N wake up"

You felt a hand on your shoulder, shaking you awake. You slowly opened your eyes to see Mark looking down at you. You stretched out before rubbing your eyes and sitting up.

"Long day?" Mark asked you and you just responded with a little head nod

Mark smiled at you "Let's go to bed" He then lifts you up bridal style and brings you to your shared bed

He lays you in bed and covers you with the comforter. He then gets changes and joins you in bed. Mark wraps an arm around you pulling you close to his chest. You then turn around to face him.

"Thank you Mark. It really made my day"

"Your welcome baby. You deserved it"
