"Welcome Habs and Bruins fans to the Gillette Stadium! I'm Jack Edwards and tonight is the Winter Classic with Montréal and Boston going head-to-head. Today's been a happy day for both Canadiens fans AND Brendan Gallagher as he has been cleared by the doctors to play in tonight's game after missing 17 games!" Jack's voice boomed throughout the stadium, making the fans roar and scream.

It was currently 37 degrees outside, which wasn't too cold but enough for me to shiver and my teeth to chatter lightly.

The referees skated out along with the teams, leaving the first lines to battle in the face-off, which for the Canadiens; were Pacioretty, Plekanec, and of course, Gallagher.

Boston had won the face-off, with the puck being passed to Chara; who started to skate around Plekanec and Pacioretty before Subban had checked the 6'9" defenseman and had the puck. P.K. had then passed to Nathan; who was nearby and passed to Max. Max then passed it along to Gally before he skated behind the net and tipped in the puck past Rask, giving the Habs the lead.

All the fans going for the Habs were currently chanting "Allez Montréal" since it was their goal song. I also chanted along, well since my husband scored the first goal of the Classic and it was his first one coming back from his fractured finger injury. I could see the anger seething in the faces of the Bruins players and I couldn't blame them.

The game went by really fast and it was 3rd period during the 1:10 mark when the whistle blew. I stood up from my seat to see what was going on and something was going on.

Brendan Gallagher and Zdeno Chara were in a hand-to-hand combat, with Brendan winning the fight. Sure, Zdeno punched Gally in the face a few times, but it was nothing compared to what Brendan had done to him. Zdeno had a bloody nose, a few teeth missing, and a black eye while Brendan had a black eye and a busted lip.

Zdeno looked as if he was almost ready to give up, but then Brendan had really punched him in the jaw, sending him down on the ice in pain but it didn't look broken. The linesmen helped Zdeno up and led Brendan and him to their penalty boxes.

"Would you look at that folks? Brendan Gallagher has earned a Gordie Howe hat-trick as he has scored a goal, picked up an assist, AND picked a fight with the captain of the Bruins!" Jack Edwards was filled with shock, looking from where his box in the stadium was to look at the situation.

The clock ticked down and it was the end of the Winter Classic! The Montréal Canadiens had defeated their longtime rivals in a really close game of 5-4.

The 3 stars of the night were Brendan Gallagher, Brad Marchand, and Nathan Beaulieu as they all contributed some way for scoring. As the crowd started to leave the stadium, I slipped out of the room along with the WAGs and went down to the locker room to congratulate the boys.

"Hey Mikey, nice job in the net today. Love that touch of Belichick on your mask, by the way." I smiled, giving Mike a friendly hug before moving onto the rest of the team before stopping at Brendan.

"Is there something you'd like to give me?" Brendan smiled goofily, furrowing his eyebrows suggestively.

"Oh Gally! Not in here! Not in front of us, dude!" Chucky yelled after pulling away from a kiss that his girlfriend had given him.

"You just kissed Chanel in front of us! What difference does it make?"

"Shut up, man..."

"I will not, I know you love me!"

That elicited a groan from Chucky, making Gally do his signature giggle.

"Here are your rewards, Bren." I gave him a sweet kiss, smiles from the both of us as it was a happy moment before I pulled away and gave him a gift bag. "Take a look inside, Gally..."

Brendan took the bag from me, giving me a smirk face. He pulled out a little Gallagher jersey, Canadiens beanie, and tiny hockey skates.

"Are you actually serious!? Are we having a baby, Y/N?"

I nodded my head slowly, biting my lip nervously. Brendan smiled goofily like a child again, but this time; he had tears of joy in his eyes.

"Honestly, tonight was the best night of my life! Coming back to play in the Winter Classic, getting the first star of the night, and finding out that we're about to have a family in 9 more months. I honestly couldn't have asked for more." Brendan chuckled, giving me a kiss that was gentle and delicate.

"I love you, Brendan Adam Mathew Gallagher."

"And I love you, Y/N M/N Gallagher."
