Disclaimer: I own Cheryl and Allison,. All of the ER characters I don't own but I wish I did own Dave Malucci. My days would be more fulfilled and less boring.

PART 2

Dave met Cheryl after work and headed for the supermarket to pick up supplies for tonight's party. After spending a good hour in line they finally made it back to the car and headed to the school to pick Allison up. Once they had her in the car, she presented them with her art project. It was a Valentine's Day heart made with construction paper and lace and inside in her own 5 year old handwriting she printed, "To Mommy and Daddy, best parintz allwayz n 4 ever, I luv u, Allison. Then she asked her parents how they met. Dave said that they told her that story so many times. Allison said, "I never get tired of hearing it."

Cheryl started, " Well, it was back in high school. I was kind of a nerd, always trying to earn extra credit to stay ahead of my class. One way was tutoring less fortunate students. Enter your daddy." Cheryl laughed as Dave gave her a condescending look. Dave picked up the story from there, "When I learned just how bad my grades were and the only way I was going to pass was to get help I agreed to tutoring. I thought I was going to get some four-eyed, pocket protector geek as a tutor but instead this thin, nicely-shaped blue-eyed blonde that stood about 5' 5" and had legs that went on forever walked in, it was love at first sight. We started dating in our junior year and all through our senior year and into college. After we graduated, your mom had to continue on with her studies and get her masters degree in human relations. She knew she wanted to be nurse and thought the degree would help her out a lot. As for your old man, I wanted to be a doctor but I knew with my grades the only school I could get into was Grenada. Not wanting to carry on a long distance relationship , and as painful as it was, your mom and I broke up."

Cheryl continued, " Little did we realize that three years later we would cross paths again. It was in Grenada. Your dad was still in medical school and I had joined the Peace Corp to prepare myself for nursing school. We were reunited and it was like time stood still, we picked up from where we left off. After a year, I had decided to return to the states and start nursing school. Dave said he would be back in the states as soon as he finished medical school and I promised to wait for him." Dave interrupted, " But, we lost touch. I looked for her when I got back into Chicago a year later and I couldn't find her. I thought if our relationship was meant to be, we would meet again and we did: six months ago and I had the biggest surprise of my life because not only did I find my one true love but I had the most beautiful little daughter ever. You had your mom's blond hair and blue eyes ." Cheryl added," But your daddy's good-natured ,care free spirit along with his smile and tan Italian skin and even a small accent. " Then Allison said, " If I do look just like you two, I really am a beauty." Dave and Cheryl looked at each other then nodded their heads in agreement. Then Cheryl said that she also inherited her daddy's ego. They all laughed at the same time. They were indeed the perfect family.

I will update as soon as I know how people feel about the story. So please read and review especially if you enjoy it.
