African violet, maybe?

Leaves are not quite right for an African Violet.
I've seen this plant before, not recalling what it is at the moment.

Peperomia "like" but not likely ...

I think it's possible; look at this violet: saintpaulia+dieff-type+(own).jpg (image) mainly the shape and positioning of the leaf, as well as the fuzzy aspect.

Though the above pictured variety has a variegated leaf, as opposed to a solid leaf.

The stem is much to thin and not very fleshy (succulent-like) to be an African Violet. And Violets leaves grow more compact.
I looked through some of my book and while I have not found anything exact, the closest I could find is that you may possibly have a Begonia.

The stem looks a little square. Is it? If so, look up the mint family.

Owl is right.
That is a begonia.
It will bloom when the weather warms up in spring, jut
don't over water it.
