Grimm: Nick & Adalind Less Enemies?


The 2 people that shouldn't be parents together have
to build a family together

          Amazing how Nick and Adalind's relationship changed so quickly over the course of a few seasons. First they were flat out enemies then they were convenient allies and now they're going to be parents together! The season 4 finale saw Nick showing more kindness towards Adalind than he ever had before. Though now Juliet's dead what does that mean for the new parents to be?



Just when Juliet was getting interesting...

       Season 5 is set to start after a time jump (which I really hate given how season 4 ended). Nick doesn't have time to mourn his Juliet when he hears Adalind is going into labor with their son. Apparently her life is in danger during the labor. Nick will have to choose what to do. I feel like given how Adalind has changed from selfish bitch to devoted mother that she'll urge Nick to choose the baby over her. But if she survives (because it would suck to lose another character so soon into season 5 after losing Juliet) they're going to interact  a lot more. Adalind will also be looking for a new job so will Nick offer to let Adalind stay with him? That way he can see his son more often. Since his mother was murdered, Nick's son is the only blood family he has now and he may want to keep his son close. However, what about the whole hexenbiest/Grimm offspring factor?



Did someone order a head from Amazon?
     
       I feel like it'll be like with Diana. Adalind was "human" when she conceived Diana and when she got her powers back during pregnancy the baby absorbed that power too. Adalind drank that stuff to suppress her hexenbiest so I think any gene that the baby would have concerning hexenbiests would be suppressed as well but we know that Grimms are different than normal people so we don't really know. We don't know if Nick's son will ever manifest the Grimm gene either. He could be like Josh and never become a real Grimm but still he could pass that gene down so Nick's blood line is safe... for now. Though back to Adalind and Nick how will their new relationship effect the group?



Is this a labor or an exorcism?

      Adalind's like that girlfriend that you love but all your friends hate her for one reason or another. I think there will be a new sympathy for Adalind. True the first time she met them all she was mean and hateful but then they saw a new side of her when she became a mother and they developed some compassion for her especially seeing how she was after they kidnapped her baby. Adalind then became a bitch for a more nobler reason: to get her daughter back. She only took Nick's powers away because they all helped in taking away her baby so they can hate her all they want but they did something just as horrible to her. To Adalind's credit she could have aborted the second baby by Nick but that was far from her mind. Adalind's been more humble since then making it hard to hate her. She even swore that she would raise her children the right way (which I can only assume to mean that she'll raise them to be good). No doubt there will be some tension still because of what happened to Juliet but I feel like that will dwindle as the season progresses.



Congrats parents to be!

      If Adalind dies in the opening episode, Nick will have to take care of his son on his own and while it would be interesting to see him struggle with his Grimm life and being a single dad it would be more interesting to see where Nick and Adalind's new relationship can go. Also we still need to figure out why he and Adalind are connected not just as parents but also when Nick saw through Adalind's eyes and she through his when she was captured. Adalind would be the black sheep of the team but I think after a while they'll accept her. She has a lot to offer for their rebuilding of the Grimm library after most of the knowledge was lost in the fire that Juliet started. I think Adalind and Nick have more to offer the show with being parents to another extraordinary baby.
