Not Your Typical Bachelorette Party

So sorry for the long wait! I was stuck for so long and I didn't really get past it I just...ended it early.

Anyway, this chapter is cute. Short but I like the interactions and hope you guys do as well!

Cue a very tame bachelorette party.

"We're here!" Garcia unlocks the Reid's apartment door with the key Ryder had given her. JJ, Emily, and Nat follow behind the bubbly blonde. "Don't get up!" She shouts to Ryder who rolls her eyes but follows the older woman's demand and sits back on the couch.

"I thought I'd escaped being told to rest when Spencer left." Did that rhyme? "Guess not."

"Nope," JJ shakes her head and sets her all of her things down except a bottle of juice. "As long as we're here, you're not moving." She sits on the coffee table in front of Ryder and hands her the cold drink. "Strawberry, banana?"

"It's so good," Ryder says before taking a sip. "And what if I have to pee? Okay, I do that like every five seconds these days."

"I think if you do any more than that, Spencer will somehow know and bust through the door." Emily chuckles while helping Natalie with the food.

"I swear," Ryder mumbles under her breath. She loves Spencer, truly, but he's so... overprotective. "I don't know what Derek's got him doing, but I hope it takes his mind off things. He's been so stressed lately."

"I think most fiancées would be more worried about that," Penelope says while moving over to the couch. "You know, they're men going out who knows where to do who knows what for their bachelor party."

"Yes, thank you, Penny," Ryder states blankly, giving an apologetic Garcia a tight smile before chuckling. "No, I trust, Spence. Not so much Derek, but..." She trails off with a shrug, earning laughs from the other women in the room.

"Okay, enough boy talk, it's girl time," Nat moves forward, arms overflowing with snacks. They all agreed on no alcohol. Ryder was never a drinker before she was pregnant and now it's out of the question. So the others decided they wouldn't drink even a little either. "Now, let's watch cheesy movies, play games, and eat until we feel as if we'll explode."

"I'm going to look like that in a few short months, not sure I want to speed up the process."

"Oh, hush, you look great now, you'll look great then," Emily waves her off, throwing a bag of chocolate into her lap.

"I had to have my dress altered slightly," Ryder had been worried she wouldn't get it back in time for the wedding.

"I'm so excited for this wedding," Penelope all but squeals and claps her hands together.

"I have to go to the garden tomorrow, make sure everything is in place, want to come with me?" Ryder questions the blonde who nods before the words are completely out of her mouth.

"Um, yes! Of course, I can't believe I haven't already seen this place." Ryder is starting to think Penelope is more excited than she is. "Ten days left."

"You're counting down," Ryder states with a small nod. She shouldn't be surprised.

"It's marked on all my calendar," Chuckling, Ryder shakes her head along with the others before she sits back and opens the bag of chocolate in her lap. The rest of the night is spent full of laughter, bad jokes, and more junk food than all five women combined should ever eat.
