Ileana and Rob's home was a loft in the Meatpacking District. It was a beautiful, open space, although some of the cops and lawyers in attendance might have remembered it for more sinister reasons -- the conductor Philip Reinhart had been murdered there several years before. His wife was represented by Granick & Melnick and the place had been put up as collateral. When she couldn't pay them, the firm took possession of the loft. The living space had been part of Rob's signing bonus.

Ileana went all-out decorating - the invitations had been designed to look like admission tickets to a ball game and the cupcakes had baseball stitching icing. While it was themed, it wasn't too cheesy and everything from the decorations to the food was high-end. It was probably also the only baby shower with a free-flowing bar.

Rob Enslow stood at the bar, fixing a drink, his sister Genevieve waiting to fix her own. Ileana was greeting Joan Cutter, who'd just come in a few moments before.

Connie, meanwhile, was standing talking to her sister, ... )

Casey breathed a sigh of relief. She'd always liked Cori. "Hey, how are you?"

Cori grinned. "I'm great, thanks. How're you? It's been awhile since I last saw you."

Jeff stood outside the door a present bag in one hand a thing of cookies in the other. Connie was always a fan of his cookies so he thought she might like some as a gift along with something for the baby. He used his free hand to push his hair back a little it was time for a haircut since it kept falling funny.

Ileana answered the door, drink in hand. "Hi, come in," she said, not recognizing Jeff. "I'm Connie's sister, Ileana." She paused. "Cop or lawyer?"

"Lawyer,"he smiled stepping inside,"Jeff Bennett." He shifted the cookies holding out a hand to shake.

Ileana shook his hand. "I can take those," she reached for the plate of cookies and the gift bag.

"Did I hear you say you work with Connie?" Delores Rubirosa had also just arrived and she smiled at Jeff.

"Careful Connie might take your hand off to get to those,"he handed over the cookies and the bag.

Jeff smiled back at her,"Yes Ma'am." He couldn't help himself years of his mother's training made ma'am automatic.

"So you're the cookie guy," Ileana said, remembering a conversation she'd had with Connie.
Delores smiled. "I'm Connie's mother, Delores. Are you in the Homicide division with her and Michael?"

"Pleasure to meet you Ma'am,"he held his hand out,"I am."

Delores shook Jeff's hand. "How long have you worked for the DA?"

"Close to four months now,"Jeff smiled.

"I'm not trying to get out of the shower," Brian tried to explain to his fiance as they approached Rob and Ileana's place, "I'm just saying that maybe I should have stayed home with him," His son Aidan was fast asleep in his arms clutching his stuffed dog.

"And you know that he would have been upset to miss the party," Christina told him with a smile on her face, "Besides you'll have fun," She then knocked on the door with her hand that wasn't holding their gifts.

It was Connie who answered the door, glass of water in hand, glowing (or maybe just sweating a bit, despite the air conditioning).

"Hi," she smiled at them, "Aw, you brought Aidan."

"He'll probably sleep through the whole thing through," Brian commented, "He was up til 2 am,"

Alex walked up to the door and knocked, keeping a tight grip of her gift for Connie - well, for the baby.
