Chapter one...
Mark smiled at the scene in front of him. It was CJ's birthday and Jesse, Steve, Amanda, CJ and himself had gathered together to celebrate. At that moment Steve and Amanda where running around in the kitchen so that the BBQ ribs would be ready in time and Jesse and his namesake, CJ were playing Monopoly on the floor in the living room. Everyone was having fun and there was a light atmosphere all through the house.
"Dinners ready!!" the call brought Mark out of his thoughts as the bustle that was dinner time ensued. However silence soon reigned as everyone had eaten their fill and sat contently, to full to break the peace.
"Well," Jesse sighed dramatically "I suppose I'd better get going, I have a house call to make before I go to work. You know it's all your fault Mark"
Mark looked up at his friend with humorous indifference "and how did you work that one out?"
"well, wasn't it my mentor, and teacher Dr Mark Sloan who once told me that to become a good doctor you needed to make house calls!" Jesse grinned mischievously
Mark grinned back "Just helping you reach your full potential my young friend, you can blame me for trying." The whole table, including Jesse burst into laughter that soon turned to groans as their full stomachs objected to the sudden movement.
"CJ and I have to go too I'm afraid" Amanda sighed at CJ's moan, "I afraid we promised to see Auntie Helen, sweetie. Now what do you say to Mark?"
CJ grinned as he turned to Mark and gave him a big hug, declaring "THANKYOU" at the top of his lungs in the whiny voice kids use to emphasis their point.
"That's quite alright" Mark rubbed his ear, wincing dramatically, as he smiled down at CJ "Just enjoy being five"
"Thank you Mark" Amanda said softly as she kissed him lightly on the cheek
Marks grin grew wider and he followed his guests to the door, pausing only when both Jesse and Amanda decided to shout their farewells to Steve who was pottering about in the kitchen. Mark gave one last farewell to Jesse, CJ and Amanda and closed the door behind them, sighing contently. He looked around again and declared "That was fun!

Jesse sighed as he looked at the house were Mr Fallgrove lived, it was beautiful. When was he ever going to be able to afford a house of such stature? Well, Jesse though ruefully, I suppose that'd be a long time coming, what with all the loans and other debts from his medical training having to be paid off first! Shaking his head to clear himself of these envious thoughts Jesse headed up the winding driveway a up to the front door.
