A/N: Of course she's back. It just makes for good drama people. Nick and Adalind finally come together, albeit, not everything's settled between them, so of course the writers will shake things up. It keeps us coming back for more :P.

Adalind POV

She's back, her Hexenbiest was back! Oh my God. Nick's going to kick us out. Well maybe not Kelly. Oh no! He's going to steal another baby from me. Wait, wait Nick's different now. He's not my enemy anymore, yet I'm a Hexenbiest once again and all bets might be off. How could I do this to him and Kelly? Adalind kept up the desperately panicked conversation with herself as she watched the water boil in the cup beside her. There were so many things she had done while a Hexenbiest that she never wanted to do again, but could she stop herself?

Nick was on his way home. What would she tell him? How could she tell him? Should she tell him? How could she not? Adalind swallowed the nausea and gritted her teeth through a bout of stomach cramps that signaled her Hexenbiest's return. Getting up, she paced back and forth across the loft. Happy memories flooded her of the family they built in this factory transformed into a home because of what they had become to each other. Flashes of their last night together made her heart crack open with agony. Nick would never want to touch her again, not when he found out. Yet Adalind loved him too much to live a lie for however long it would last and Rosalee had been right saying it wouldn't be so wise for him to find out any other way.

Walking into their room as Kelly began to cry, she picked him up gently and pressed him to her aching chest. Would she get so bad that she could hurt Kelly? She never had with Diana, but Diana was a Hexenbiest as well and a very powerful one with her own defenses. Taking a shaky breath and letting her tears fall on Kelly's head, Adalind rocked him while he took his last bottle for the night. Why couldn't she ever be anything good or right? Even both of her children had either a twisted conception or was being yanked from the ones that love them. She wasn't going to screw up Kelly's life! Adalind vowed to herself. Continuing to mindlessly rock him well past the point he fell asleep, Adalind finally laid down on the bed still clutching Kelly as she sobbed.

Sometime in the wee hours of the morning, she started from sleep with nightmares first of Woging involuntarily the minute Nick walked through the door. Then her dreams shifted and she couldn't find Kelly anywhere, but there had been a cold hard letter from Nick saying his son would never be raised by a Hexenbiest. She awoke shaking, so drenched in a cold sweat that she had to get up and take a hot shower.

Dawn came unwelcome, but she didn't really see a way around the inevitable. Adalind had finally fallen for a good guy, a really good man, and she had screwed that up like everything else in her life.


Mid morning she knew they had landed and Nick would be walking through that door before long. A bag was packed and tucked out of the way. She wouldn't make him feel guilty by having it where he could understand her intentions. She would tell him and if he was horrified or acted disgusted, Adalind would leave. She couldn't stomach revulsion from Nick, not after he had become so precious. Bitterness threatened to overwhelm her. She finally understood what Kelly Burkhardt meant that day at the precinct. How she had left Nick to protect him, but for Adalind she would have to leave them both. Where would she go? There was only one person unconnected with Nick that she trusted. Taking out her phone, she called Trubel. She needed to speak with Meisner. If nothing else, maybe he could find her a place to live not far so hopefully Nick would allow her visitation rights with Kelly or let her watch him while Nick was at work. It was too much to hope he'd let her stay.
