"merry christmas!" the boys waved goodbye as they walked out of the hospital room. it was that time of year again- the holiday season. ever year they visited the los angeles community hospital to sing christmas songs to patients. they've been doing this tradition ever since they became a band, and plan on doing it for as long as they can.

it was now past lunch, but none of them got to eat yet. zach led the way to the hospital food court, his personal favorite place on site. although people knew of the band, everyone treated them normally. very few people would ask them for pictures or autographs, and the feeling was sort of relieving for all 5 of them.

"well well well, if it isn't my favorite man band." the short, ombre haired lady dressed in scrubs said, walking towards the group. placing down their trays of food, each of them greeting her with a hug.

"nice to see you too jen." jonah smiled kindly. jen, the reason why the boys started caroling in the first place, has been a fan of them since the beginning. she met them around this time at jingle ball when she brought her niece to the show. the two had the chance to meet the band and that's when jen asked if the boys were up to sing for patients at LACH. from then on, the boys have been caroling to patients all around the hospital.

"i'm sorry i wasn't able to see you guys sooner, but how's caroling going so far?" she asked them, pulling a chair to their table.

daniel put his guitar against the wall and turned back to the nurse, "it's been going good, it's nice seeing everyone again." the rest of the boys nodded in agreement.

"yeah, i can't wait to see some og's too." corbyn laughed. some patients, mostly older ones, stay in the senior home that's connected to the main building which was where the band first started caroling.

swallowing the bite of chicken he ate, zach raised his hand as if he was a kid in class, "are the lawson's still here?" the lawson's, better known as the biggest limelights at LACH, were this lovely couple. tanya and jim were the first people the boys sang to their first visit at the hospital, and they greeted them with christmas cookies and made them feel at home. surely they were the whole band's favorite to visit each year.

jen nodded her head, "yes the lawson's are still here." the youngest member pumped his fist while he whisper-screamed a yes, "they couldn't stop talking about you the other day, they're very excited." she laughed.

"aww well we can't wait to see them too." daniel said happily. all the boys loved caroling around the hospital and seeing new faces. jen looked over at jack who hasn't spoken a word yet; she nudged his elbow, getting his attention.

"what about you?" she nodded her head, "how's the baby?" jen wasn't just a nurse, but she was considered a friend. she was there the night lavender was born and firsthand got to congratulate jack and gabbie. but at the same time, she was aware of what happened between the two and how far lav now was.

jack looked up and smiled, "oh she's great. she's getting so big now." he told her. the brunette pulled out his phone from his pocket and scrolled through his camera roll, showing pictures of lav to jen.

"awwww, she's beautiful!" jen gushed. the other boys gushed too, just as they always do when they see lav. noticing the time on her watch, jen got up from her seat. "my break's almost up, but i'll see you guys around. where are you planning on going to next?"

the 5 traded looks and unanimously agreed on where to go. "i think we're gonna pay a visit to tanya and jim." jonah informed her happily. "good choice." jen smiled and waving goodbye to the band. once they finished their lunch, corbyn and jonah led the way to the senior center where they'd eventually find the lawson's room.
