"You worthless son of a bitch!"
"Baby, I'm sorry. Can we at least talk about this!"
"Drop dead!"
Nick and Hank pulled up to a house where clothes and other things were being thrown out of a second story window. A woman was screaming from that window and a man was on the lawn of the house trying to gather up the things that had landed.
Captain Renard had called Nick and Hank into his office and informed them that Nick was being called in to settle a marriage dispute.
"Why call me?"
"You're a grimm. They're wesen. It's part of your duty being a peacekeeping grimm to negotiate wesen disputes."
"I'm not sure that includes marriage disputes?"
"Well, no one else wants to handle this particular couple because they are both biester. Since it is well known you're married to one, it is thought you would be the only one able to handle them."
"I don't think my tactic for calming down my wife is going to work in this situation. Even if I thought it would, I think she would become really upset with me if I did."
"I'm sure you'll think of something."
"Apparently, the guys wife found some sexy lingerie that had a card with another woman's name on it." A jagerbar uniformed officer told the grimm and his partner as they approached. "A neighbor said that there's a prenup in place. If he cheats on her, he loses the house as well as two thirds of their shared resources. She also gets full control of the business the couple owns."
"You would think a guy with that much to lose would keep it in his pants." Hank commented.
"Did your Hexenbiest make you sign a cheating clause?" The jagerbar asked Nick.
"No, we don't have a prenuptial agreement. And as far as cheating goes, if I cheat on Adalind, I get a slow and painful death."
"Knowing you, you would probably prefer death over her walking away." Hank then looked at the jagerbar officer and said, "If you ever hear a rumor that he's cheating on his wife, trust me, it will just be someone trying to cause trouble."
"I know what it's like to lose her." Nick said as he looked over the situation. "I can't take the chance of her leaving me."
"I heard from an eisbiber that you're really protective over her, even though she is obviously pretty powerful." The jagerbar officer mention with an inquiring tone.
Hank grinned. "She may be pretty powerful. But trust me, she looks at him like he's her knight in shining armor."
Nick and Hank got to the zauberbiest and introduced themselves.
"Oh! You're the grimm everyone is talking about. The one married to a hexenbiest." The zauberbiest said.
"If you chop off his head" The hexenbiest leaned out of the window and shouted, "I'll split half of the insurance money with you."
"No one is chopping off heads today!" Nick announced. "I hope." He added under his breath.
In his life, any and everything was possible. There was always a chance of something coming after him.
But, in this situation at least, he was determined that everyone keep their heads firmly attached to their bodies.
"I wasted the best years of my life on that mother fucker!" The hexenbiest screamed. "I gave him my body, my heart, my very soul, and I find out he's been seeing another woman and buying her expensive lingerie!"
"You see what you get when you go snooping through my things!" The zauberbiest called back, and quickly had to dodge a bowling ball.
"You left your gift for another woman where your wife could find it?" Hank chuckled. "You are an idiot."
"I hope she was worth sacrificing the life we built for, because you and I are done! You're going to be living in a cardboard box when I get through with you!"
"Baby! Try to understand! It's not natural for a man to only be with one woman!"
A scream was heard and a golf bag filled with clubs flew straight to the soon to be ex husband.
"You should probably stop talking." Nick advised. "You're not helping yourself."
"But you know I'm right?" The zauberbiest defended. "Can you honestly tell me you've never thought about being with other women since getting married?"
Nick raised his eyebrows at the zauberbiest. "Yes. I can honestly tell you I have never thought about being with another woman. Why would I, when I have everything I've ever wanted?"
Nick got the beister couple to settle down and he and Hank went back to the precinct.
"So what happened?" Renard asked.
"Wife found husband's gift for another woman. Wife was not happy and started to throw husbands stuff out of the window and all over the front lawn." Hank summarized.
"The guy was an idiot anyway. Who buys lingerie as a birthday present?"
"You're actually telling me you never buy lingerie for Adalind?" Hank asked in shock.
"Of course I buy Adalind lingerie, but not for her birthday or for Christmas. Those gifts are all about her. So I get her something I know she will enjoy and that's just for her. When I buy her lingerie, it's a gift for the both of us. So for days like Valentine's Day or our anniversary, Adalind knows I don't want her to get me anything. All I want is for her to wear what I get for her."
Later that evening, Nick told Adalind about the feud he had to deal with and the circumstances surrounding it.
"That reminds me." Nick said, interrupting his own story. "Bud Worstner called me today and wanted to make sure I knew the eisbiber were hosting an overnight event for kids on Valentine's Day."
"Mrs. Worstner called here to make sure I knew. Diana and Kelly are already really excited about it." Adalind smiled warm and bright at her husband. "I guess that means you and I will have the whole night to ourselves."
"Whatever will we do?" Nick asked with a mischievous smirk on his face.
