pt.2

 The next morning, everyone was up and fully awake, becuase they hadn't recieved much sleep last night.
Mark turned to Emily and said "I'm going to go into my office today and do a few online tours of some houses."
 "Wait, Mark. Didn't you say something about trying to find a house near Tina's house?"
 "That i did, but i called Tina a little earlier this morning and she informed me. There are no houses whatsoever avaible. Not even for rent, she says."
 "Oh, well then online tours it will have to be." Emily remarked as she put away the plates on the table.
 "Emily?" Mark resumed.
 "Yes, daddy?"
 "You are going to stay with your aunt Tina until we can sort all this out. Ok?"
 "Ok."
 "I'll drop you off when i go to the office. Emily, what are you going to do today?"
 "I guess i'll call our relitives and see if they have any houses near them."
 "Sounds good."
 "Ok, people. Move out" Mark said with a smile.
 "Was that supposed to be a joke?" Emily said trying not to smile.
 "Yeah, daddy that wasn't funny. Good effort though."
 "Ok i get it. No more jokes." The whole family chuckled.
 Later that afternoon Mark glanced at the clock on the wall. "It's already 5 o'clock?" He asked to himself.
 He had found multiple houses.  One of which seemed perfect. It had more than enough room, and it was affordable. It had a tire swing for Melissa. "She would love that." Mark once again remarked to himself. It also had a jaqquzi tub bath. Which, Mark didn't see what the big deal about that was, but he knew that Emily had always wanted one.
Mark had always wanted his family to be proud of him and so it remained that they were.
The house had red shutters over the windows, the windows being brand new. The tire swing was attached to what seemed to be the biggest shade tree Mark had ever seen. 
The grass was a healthy tempting green, and the sky was a beautiful shade of blue. The traditional house, and to Mark it seemed to be picture perfect. This was the house he was going to show Emily and Melissa. It was getting late and Mark decided to head home. He figured out what he would do. Twomorrow he would bring Emily and Melissa to the office that way they could see the house. He logged out of his computer and shut it down. He got up from his chair and was just about to head out the door when the phone rang.
 Mark wanted to get home for dinner but he realized that the phone was right there so he answered it.
 "Hello?" He asked.
 "Mark? It's me, Garrett!"
 "Hey! The reason why you haven't called me in so long is....?" Mark asked, waiting for his sentance to be finished by Garrett.
 "Uh......" there was a long pause. "That's not important."  I was just callin' to say that there is a house for sale near here. It's only an hour away from my house, so that's already a plus right?"
 "Um...Sure it is!" Mark said hesitantly.
 "Well, anyways. Its pretty big. Nice kitchen. Good-sized bedrooms, and i think it's around your price range."
 "What is that supposed to mean Garrett?!?"
 "Uh.....Nothing. I was just saying that it would probably be affordable for your family and you."
 "Yeah, sure, ok." Mark said.
 "So are you in or out Mark?" Garrett said impatiently.
 "Hey take it down a notch would you? I would have to see the house first. I would also have to see if the family would like it."
 "Why?"
 "What do you mean, why? They are my family. Therefore thier opinions matter to me."
 "Ok alright already. Just let me know soon." Garrett hung up the phone. So did Mark.
 Mark had never liked Garrett all that much but he was apart of the family so it was expected that he be nice.
 Mark walked toward the door to turned out the lights. He shut the door behind him. He got into his car and drove home. His pulled into the driveway and rose up out of the car. He headed for the door when....
