"You really wanna do this?" Dylan asked Marco.

"Yea, maybe it'll give Eloise and I a chance to bond, because afterall I'm not her real father." Marco replied sarcastically.

Marco and Eloise walked down to the preschool a few blocks away. He hoped they weren't to late to sign her up.

"Well hi there. I'm Miss Sharon, are you here to sign up?" An older woman greeted them at the door.

"Yes, I'm Marco and this is Eloise."

"Okay! Marco I'll give you these forms to fill out. Eloise, do you wanna come in here with me." She said leading Eloise into the classroom. "I'm just going to get to know her a little bit, get her used to me." Miss Sharon told Marco.

Marco looked down at the forms he was asked to fill out. He realized they didn't really decide on a last name for Eloise. He would just have to decide on one. He wrote:

Name: Eloise Nash

Age: 4

Parents/Guardians: parents-Ellie Nash & Dylan Michalchuk guardians-Marco Del Rossi & Dylan Michalchuk

As he was writing he heard Eloise and Miss Sharon talking. He knew it was wrong to eavesdrop, but he just had to know what Eloise knew about their family.

"Eloise, tell me about your family." Miss Sharon asked.

"I have two daddies, I don't know where my mommy is, but that's okay because I love my daddies." Eloise babbled.

"Is that your daddy outside?" Miss sharon asked.

"Yup, but not my real daddy, my real daddy's at work. He works at a restaurant."

"Do you know why you have two daddies?"

"Yes, because I'm special, my real daddy said that most girls only get one daddy. Isn't that cool, I get two!" Eloise smiled.

Marco didn't know Dylan had talked to Eloise about having two fathers. He smiled inside of himself.

"Alright, can I see the forms please." Miss Sharon asked emerging from the room where she and Eloise talked.

Marco handed the forms and watched her nod or shake her head at what she was reading.

"Mr. Del Rossi, I have no doubt in my mind the you and Mr. Michalchuk are good parents, but I 'm not quite sure that a homosexual household is the best place for you to raise a child. Shouldn't she be living with her mother?"

"Her mother's dead." Marco mumbled.

"Oh, I see, well I applaud the two of you for taking her in, but you know sooner or later she's going to catch on." Miss Sharon snipped.

Marco was beginning to like Miss Sharon less and less.

"Well, is she in or not?" He tried to keep his cool.

"She's in." Miss Sharon nodded.

She handed Marco a school calendar and said goodbye to Eloise.

"Want lunch?" Marco asked as they were leaving, Miss Sharon's words still ringing in his ears.

They walked over to the restaurant to visit Dylan and eat lunch.

"Hey." Dylan said when he saw them.

"Eloise sweetie, do you wanna play with Joe while Daddy and I talk?" Marco asked.

"JOE!" Eloise ran to Marco & Dylan's co worker gleefully.

"She knows." Marco said.

"About what?" Dylan was completely clueless.

"She told the teacher you were her real dad." Marco was a little upset.

"Do you think Ellie told her?"

"I don't know. Maybe this whole 'the three of us as a family.' thing is not going to work."

"What do you mean?"

"Maybe we should-"

"Breakup?" Dylan's eyes filled with tears as Marco walked over to a table and sat down.

"Music!" Eloise chirped from across the room.

The jukebox started to play and Marco let the words of the song "Nice to meet you Anyway." by Gavin Degraw wash over him as he thought about his decision.

I don't want to get too close
I don't want to get too close
You see this isn't where my head is
If you knew me I'm not like this
But I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway
I believe you're very fine
Still I haven't got the time
Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway
And the sky opened up
With the soil of the sun
Dreaming of my true love
I don't mean to be so strange
But my life just took a change
Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway
And the sky opened up
With the soil of the sun
Dreaming of my true love
So before this goes too far
Let me tell you what you are
You're amazing, I'm attracted
But I'm terribly distracted
And I'm trying to be verbal
And I'm back into this circle
Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you anyway
Nice to meet you anyway
Nice to meet you anyway
Nice to meet you anyway
Nice to meet you anyway
