Hello all, I am Chris and this is my first ever Grimm fanfiction. Please enjoy. Oh, and I own nothing, trust me if I did, I wouldn't be a broke chick in Ohio.

History in the Making

This was the first time that Nick was taking Juliette to a function in connection with his job as a detective with the Portland Police Department. She was all smiles in the beginning, greeting everyone and shaking all of these stranger's hands. Nick stuck by her side like glue, something in him stiff with being out among so many people he was still a bit unfamiliar with. Then came Nick's boss, and Juliette felt her mind flash in another direction, one she hadn't seen, felt in over ten years, and she was frightened.

Sean Renard was the strong and silent type. He oozed power out of every move he made and he demanded attention from his subordinates with just a quick cough. Juliette already had her eyes on him, and her heart was beating so fast that she felt breathing was near impossible. 'Sean“ she thought to herself and just a quick tear rolled down her cheek as she looked on at him.

He spoke words of thanks and encouragements to those under his command, as he scanned the floor of the office his words ALMOST faltered as he caught Juliette's gaze. As their eyes met over the crowd a spark of memory, of history long passed awoke in his mind and he had to be careful to finish his speech before finding a moment to speak to the redhead, alone, sans her lover, who Sean was fairly sure could be a great cop and something else, if his bloodline struck him as it did his ancestors.

By the end of the night, Sean felt his chance was nearly gone and then he saw her. She was alone, having just exited the ladies room and Nick and many others were far beyond site and so he came up behind her, making it appear to be nothing more than a casual greeting to those who would be watching, however the words he said were "meet me outside in five minutes." She nodded imperceptibly and he placed his hand upon her shoulder, gave it a squeeze then left, leaving stunned Juliette.

Outside, in the early October air, hardly anyone was around. Voices carried from inside but other than that no sound penetrated the cloud spattered dark sky that was a norm for Portland, Oregon. A brisk wind flew by making Juliette shiver just a bit as it swung by her exposed legs. Suddenly though, a coat, warm and comforting was thrown over her shoulders, taking the worst of the chill away from her. She looked up catching Sean Renard's eyes and then the memories hit full force.

He was holding her, kissing her, loving her in a way she never had experienced in her life. She loved him, his lips, his body and his mind. Every little piece of him she adored.

"It's good to see you." Sean said while he took a closer look at her. Taking in the more adult look of the woman he had cared so deeply for so long ago.

"Yeah, good to see you too." She responded noncommittally. Being around him made her remember those amazing days, where they would lay in bed, ignoring the world as they talked, laughed and made love without a care in the world. However those amazing days were ruined by those following the harshness of reality bit into her and made her realize things were never the way you saw them and some things were better left unsaid or unknown.

"Juliette I," she turned her gaze toward him, a fury burning within her soul showing through. Sean sighed deeply. "I'm sorry."

Juliette laughed harshly, those words were still so familiar from his lips that an irony swam upon them. "You always said that Sean. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Being sorry doesn't change anything, it doesn't take it back. Nothing can bring her back, YOU MADE SURE OF THAT!" Juliette screamed at him, tears rushing down her cheeks too fast for her to wipe them away.

"You're right, being sorry doesn't change anything, but I can't change who I am. What my family would have done. It was either what we did or death and I couldn't lose you." He begged, again. Juliette could practically recite his words by heart she had heard those so many times back then.

"It didn't matter in the end though did it? I left, because you never told me why your family would try and take her from us, from me. All you said was that if they found out about her, that my life would be forfeit and she would be taken away anyway. For months, you told me, "I'll do everything I can to get her back," instead you gave her, OUR DAUGHTER, to someone else to raise. I wanted her Sean. I wanted to watch my child grow up, why couldn't I go with them? Why?" Juliette howled, letting all the grief and rage she had felt the moment she saw him again out in one pent up moment. She fell down to the steps as her legs gave out on her.

She felt Sean wrap his arms around her quaking shoulders. She felt how the definition was even better than it was back then, when her nails would dig into the muscles leaving little crescent moon impressions behind. "How is it possible to miss her when she was with me for so little time?"

"You carried her inside you Juliette. As she grew, every time she kicked you loved her more. I saw it in the way your eyes lit up. Of course you miss her, she is part of you and of me. What happened had too, it doesn't change that she is ours, that we both love her."

"I know you can't tell me much, but is she ok? I know she's not a baby anymore, but I just want to know that she's alright."

"Last I heard, she is doing fine. She is doing well with school and she has made lots of friends, that's all we can ask for, right?" Sean answered. He hadn't heard from his mother in over a year, but rare contact made it easier to hide. After all his mother was able to protect her grandchild, she had insisted on it when she came to realize Juliette's pregnancy. Sean knew he couldn't allow the child to be in his life, or his father and half-brother would seize her up and raise her as the perfect Royal child and once she was old enough they would sell her off to the highest bidder to ensure an alliance. Sean wouldn't, no COULDN'T allow that to happen to his child.

Granted telling Juliette that would not have soothed her any, in fact it would just have worried her more, so he gave a very vague explanation. His father's family was very influential and old world, they would make sure that either Sean or Juliette were found to be unfit as parents and would then take the little girl from them anyway, so Sean asked his mother to raise the little girl, as a way to protect her and keep her from the clutches of her former lover.

"Do you think, that maybe, we'll see her?"

"In time, probably. My family, once they learn of her existence, are going to insist she go to them, but if she is already grown, the only chance they possess would be if she chose to go with them. Something similar was done when I was a boy. Being the bastard son of a fairly powerful man is not a great upbringing plus his wife and her son were none too thrilled with my existence." A slight shudder ran through Juliette's form at the mere thought of what those people would have done to her daughter had they gotten ahold of her. Juliette guessed that Sean's stepmother probably wasn't exactly kind when confronting her husband's mistress or the woman's child.

"Sean, do you know if she is," she didn't know how to finish the words as she and Sean had only discussed the topic on a couple of occasions, neither of which were great at the time.

"Like me?" Sean finished for her and she nodded, looking down at her shoes, sad that she had to bring it up when Sean was being so comforting to her. "My mother hasn't mentioned anything. That doesn't mean she is or isn't, then again, she may not have matured yet. You don't really know until it hits." He said with a shrug. Juliette knowing Sean's secrets weren't exactly easy to explain. She knew what he was, a zauberbiest, and that his mother was a hexenbiest, but she didn't know of the complicated world that he or his mother belonged, nor of the real danger that faced the daughter born to the bastard son of a Royal.

"Ok," she stood up, shrugging his jacket off of her shoulders and placing it in his hand. "I'm going to head back inside. Nick is probably wondering where I disappeared too." With that, Juliette stood on the tips of her toes, placed a soft kiss onto Captain Sean Renard's cheek and went back inside. Leaving the man behind with a sad gaze as he watched her turn away from him, again.
