Ryder smiles as she puts the car in park before removing the keys. She looks over at Spencer before opening her door and climbing out. Mr. and Mrs. Foley are waiting for them as they approach.

"Spencer," Ryder uses her fiancé's hand to pull him closer to her. "This is Robert and Selena Foley."

"Lovely to finally meet you," Selena smiles at the young man in front of her as her husband nods. "Well, you guys ready?"

"Yes," Ryder grins, barely able to contain her excitement. Spencer hadn't been as hard to convince as she thought he would've been when she brought up Willow the boxer. And she may or may not have shown him pictures and he couldn't say no after seeing them.

Robert and Selena lead them around back to the pen Willow is currently napping in. The dog's head perks up when Mr. Foley lets out a sharp whistle and she comes to him, tail wagging. "See," Ryder whispers to Spencer with a smirk and he nods. "Hey, girl." Bending down, Ryder holds out her hands, and Willow marches to her happily, letting the woman pet her. "Remember me?"

"I'd say," Selena says as she watches the interaction.

Spencer carefully kneels down next to Ryder, hesitantly placing a hand on the brown dogs back. He'd never been a big animal person. Not that he doesn't like them, they just weren't his thing. But Ryder had been so excited and Willow is well trained. And with everything going on, it couldn't hurt to have a dog around.

"She likes you," Ryder chuckles when Willow licks Spencer's hand. The man in return scrunches his nose slightly, wiping his palm on his shirt.

"Garcia's might steal her." Spencer informs her and Ryder snorts, nodding her head in agreement.

"She can try," She says with a sly smile. "So, we're really doing this?"

"Yeah," Spencer nods. It's not like he can say no to her even if he wants too. "You know," He starts when the Foley's leave to gather a leash, giving the couple a moment alone with their new animal. "If our family keeps growing," He rests his chin in her shoulder, chest against her back with his hands on her hips. "We'll need a bigger place."

"Are you suggesting we move?" Ryder questions, turning her head towards him slightly.

"I love our place, you know I do," Spencer lifts his head and looks down at her. "But more space can't hurt and with..." He trails off. He doesn't need to say it, Ryder knows what he means. "And then the baby. He or she will need room to, you know, run around and play."

"Like a yard?" Ryder turns in his arms, wrapping her own around his neck. "With a house..."

"Yeah, like a yard." Spencer nods, his grin stretching over his face. He leans down to place a kiss to Ryder's lips before pulling back as footsteps approach.

"Do not worry, I've already cleared her a place in our room, she has her own bed and everything. Just need to pick up some food." Ryder tells them as they load Willow into the back seat of the car. The loyal dog jumps in easily, sitting on the seat, her eyes closing when Selena places her hand on her head.

"Here's what she'd been eating." Robert hands her a small bag of food. "Boxer's can have sensitive stomachs, it's best you don't change her food."

"Thank you," Ryder says as Spencer takes the bag, going to place it in the trunk. "For everything."
