Can anyone tell me what type of plant this is?

Question

I bought it at walmart over a year ago. Was a very cute little plant. I repotted it and put it in filtered sunlight and it has gotten 4 times bigger. Last night, i noticed this off little offshoot (at first I thought some strange bug had attached itself to the plant) had grown out of the stem. But now I'm curious what it is and if this offshoot is going to be some type of flower.

Here is a link to two pictures of the plant, the first one gives an example of the sprout and to show how long it is, that is my husbands hand for contrast.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Peperomia obtusifolia 'variegata', or Variegated Baby Rubber Plant, is a variegated form of the old standard houseplant P. obtusifolia. They are native from Florida to Central America. The upright to trailing stems will reach about 6 inches (15 cm) in height and can have a spread of 12 inches (30 cm). Leaves are dark, glossy green, edged with creamy yellow variegation with some marbling throughout the leaf. They are of very easy culture and make outstanding houseplants. They are hardy in the landscape in USDA zones 9-11.

Blooming: In the greenhouse, the plants can bloom any time from spring to fall. The very small flowers are on upright flower spikes that reach about 6 inches (15 cm) tall. The flower spikes are very interesting but not particularly showy.

Propagation: Peperomia obtusifolia 'variegata' are propagated by division, leaf and stem cuttings.

Peperomia obtusifolia 'variegata' was featured as Plant of the Week April 7-13, 2006.

Thank you very much Fluffernut!!

Peperomia. Sometimes called a Baby Watermelon plant. There are many types, this is the common green one, species I don't remember. Here's a site, the pix doesn't show your, but it does discuss the different species. Maybe you can do more research with this info:
