Disclaimer: I don't own Beauty and the Beast, or any of the characters, I just reading and reading the fanfiction.

Catherine was in the lobby of their new apartment building, enjoying seeing everyone moving their boxes, and stuff to their new apartment. Mouse was even excited about moving into the new place. He thought he would live in the tunnels forever. She wasn't sure how they would take it, the big move, but they did take it better than she thought. Some of the tunnel people did stay down there, but a lot of people moved along with them.

While She was thinking Mouse came to her, and asked. "Could you help me with the diferent gadgets in my new room. I don't know what some of these gadgets are. But Gadgets my thing, I am excited to learn. Mouse want's to learn."

Catherine smiled, knowing that he would enjoy some of the things like electricity, and cook utinsels, and so forth. She went to show her around. When Vincent came up to his apartment, and knocked on the door. Catherine knew he was coming, with their bond. She gave him a big hug, and "Hi, sweetheart. You seen our apartment, yet?"

"Yes, I have. It looks wonderful. We have a lot of stuff to unpack. I didn't realize how much stuff we had." Vincent said smiling.

Catherine smiled, remembering he has never had to move before, just her stuff from her apartment when they first got married. "Yes, we do tend to get a lot of stuff over the years. I will be up in a second. I am showing Mouse his new gadgets." She looked at Mouse, and said. "You understand everything?" Mouse shaked his head. "Good. Just one more thing." She pointed at an intercom. "This is called an intercom. It's kind of like the pipe lines, just here we don't have to have codes to learn. All you have to do is," She pointed out the buttons, and explained them. "If you need anyone in any apartment, all you have to do is push their number, and talk to them. I will set up a list of people and their apartments, and make copies for everyone, so they know where they are." After that, she followed Vincent to their apartment. "This is a nice apartment, and we have privacy. We have locks on each door. Did you get your key, Vincent?"

Vincent looking all loving to her, replies. "I have my key. Don't worry so much. Everything is going great. Everyone is getting moved in. It will take some time to get used to everything, but we will get used to everything."

Later that night, they got together for a meeting in the lobby. Catherine called it, so she was in the front of the room, getting ready to talk. "I called this meeting to see how everyone was doing, and to welcome everyone to our new home. I know some of you might have questions on some of the stuff that is in the apartments, I can answer any that anyone has." It took about 2 hours for everyone to get their questions answered, and everyone went back to their rooms. A lot of the people since they grew up in the tunnels had questions about security, about how to work some of the electrical stuff. It looked like they are all getting along with their apartments, just fine. That night, Catherine and Vincent got to their apartment, and was cuddling in front of a fire, and enjoying themselves.

Vincent with his arms around Catherine, broke the silence. "I think everyone will get along just fine. Everyone seems to like their new place. Father has his quarks, but that will go down with time. Elizabeth, loves her new apartment. She has a new place to paint, and she can paint on her walls."

Catherine looked behind her at Vincent to talk to him. "Yeah. I even told her I would love to see her paintings in the lobby. I think it would liven up the place. It made her happy to hear that. It will take time for everyone to get used to it, but everyone will."

Vincent and Catherine went into their new bedroom, and that is where we are going to end the story.

Authors notes: I hope you enjoyed the story. I had been thinking of doing this story for a long time, just wasn't sure how it would go. Thank you to my friends for giving me the confidence to start writing again. I had some writers block for a while, but that dwindled down. Thank you. Feed back as usual. I hope you like it.
