Sunlight streamed through the expansive windows of Rocky's study, illuminating a scene that resonated with a quiet triumph. Papers were meticulously arranged on his desk, each one a testament to months of tireless work and unwavering devotion. Reena sat across from him, a faint smile playing on her lips as she admired the view of their sprawling garden.

But beneath the veneer of a peaceful morning, a current of nervous energy crackled in the air. Rocky cleared his throat, his gaze lingering on the stack of documents. Today wasn't just another ordinary day. It marked a culmination, a gesture that symbolized the profound shift their lives had taken.

Taking a deep breath, he placed the documents in front of Reena. "There's something I want to show you, Doc."

Reena's curiosity piqued. Ever since her awakening, Rocky had been shrouded in a veil of secrecy, hinting at a surprise but refusing to divulge any details.

She picked up the top document, her brow furrowing slightly as her eyes scanned the official-looking letterhead. "Hope Hospital?" she read aloud, the name carrying a strange familiarity.

"It's not just a name, Doc," Rocky said, his voice filled with a quiet pride. As he watched her read through the documents, a nervous tremor ran through his hand. These weren't just contracts and certificates; they were the embodiment of his unwavering hope, a physical manifestation of the love that had sustained him through the darkest of times.

Each document detailed the meticulous planning, the countless hours spent securing funding, assembling a team of top medical professionals. Hope Hospital, a state-of-the-art facility focused on cutting-edge research and compassionate care, wasn't just a building; it was a monument to Reena, a legacy built on her unwavering dedication to healing others.

As Reena reached the final document, a gasp escaped her lips. The ownership papers, with her name inscribed in elegant calligraphy, left no room for doubt. Hope Hospital wasn't just named after her; it was hers.

Tears welled up in her eyes, blurring the words on the page. She looked up at Rocky, her voice thick with emotion. "This... this is for me?"

Rocky nodded, a soft smile crinkling the corners of his eyes. "It's always been yours, Doc. Even when you couldn't be here, this was my way of carrying on your dream."

He reached out and took her hand, his touch a warm anchor in their shared journey. "Remember all those nights we spent talking about building a hospital that would prioritize not just treatment, but the well-being of patients, a place that offered hope alongside healing?"

A memory flickered in Reena's mind – a late-night conversation fueled by takeout and shared dreams. They'd sketched ideas on napkins, envisioned a space that felt more like a haven than a sterile environment. Now, the dream they'd nurtured in stolen moments was a tangible reality.

"I didn't think... I didn't remember," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion.

"It doesn't matter if you remember the details, Doc," Rocky said gently. "What matters is the spirit behind it. The compassion, the dedication to healing that resides within you, it's what sparked this entire project."

A single tear rolled down Reena's cheek, a bittersweet blend of gratitude and sorrow. The hospital was a symbol of the life they'd built together, a life interrupted by tragedy but not extinguished. It was a testament to his unwavering love, a love that had carried her through the darkness and brought her back to him.

"It's perfect, Rocky," she said, her voice gaining strength. "Hope Hospital. It's beautiful."

Rocky smiled, the weight of months of secrecy lifting from his shoulders. "Let's go see it, Doc. You're the new Chief of Staff, and Hope Hospital needs its guiding light."
