- Good morning. - Nick said with a little smile and kissed Adalind's neck.
- Morning. - she tried to keep her voice normal, but she couldn't forget what she heard in the night. She wanted answers, but she knew that Nick wouldn't answer her... she tried so many times, they all tried.
- Something wrong? - he asked, looking at her.
- No... no. I just. I'm thinking about moving out from here. - She answered after few seconds and smiled.
- Yeah. I searched few places. I saved them on the laptop, you could check them and call where you want and make an appointment. - he said with a warm smile. Planing their future, that was so amazing thing... but then flashback came, the weight of her dead body in his arms...
- Nick! - She smiled, trying to pull him back to earth.
- Yeah? Sorry... I... - he started to say something, but then Kelly started to cry. - I will take him, you check on Diana. - Nick kissed her cheek and rose from the bed. He took their son on the arms. Nick could remember that feeling when Destroyer wanted to take away his child from him, that was the worst feeling in his life. He took everybody from him... and then, he took his son at last. Adalind looked at Nick and Kelly with a smile.
She had to be blind to not see how Nick changed. He was quiet, tired... he didn't sleep well if he slept at all. He was pretending that everything was fine, but she saw that he is a ticking bomb, waiting for the explosion. The hexenbeast went to wake up Diana, whose wasn't asleep. Adalind thought about this whole conversation she overheard last night... she didn't know what to do with all of this. She needed to think about it. While she was doing breakfast, Nick changed Kelly and started to feed him with rice.
- Can I go to Daddy today? - Diana asked.
- Sure... I can drive you. - Adalind answered.
- I can drive her when I will be going to work. - Nich proposed and looked at his two blonds. Adalind was surprised, he'd never proposed such thing. She always knew that he cared about Diana like she was his, but taking her to Renard? That was something she couldn't ask him and he'd never suggested it.
- Sure. If that's not a problem. - Adalind answered.
- Not at all. - Nick smiled and looked at Diana, who answered with a smile. Adalind looked at them in the new perspective, whatever they knew, that create some kind of bond between them.
After breakfast, Nick and Diana went to the car and Adalind took her phone. She was wondering what she should do with all of this, she decided, that she can't manage this alone. She called Rosalee.
- Hey Adalind, how are you? - Rosalee asked with joyful voice.
- I'm fine... I think. - Adalind sighed.
-... That usually means that you are not fine. - Rosalee pointed.
- It's not about me. Listen... can we meet in the spice shop? About 30 minutes? Call Monroe, Wu and Hank... and Eve and Trubel if you know how to contact her. Don't tell anything to Nick- Adalind said.
- Is something wrong? - Rosalee began to worry. - Eve and Trubel are in Spain on H.W mission or something... - she added after while.
- Okay... No, I think that everything is fine... I think so. It's complicated... I will explain in the shop. - Adalind didn't know what she should say, she didn't want to talk about this via phone.
- Okay... See you soon... - Rosalee answered with little uncertain in her voice and hang off. Adalind started to preparing Kelly for the going outside and she decided that she should call Sean too... but he was with Diana. She sighed and called him. For her sake, Renard's mom was there and she could take care of Diana.
In the same time Nick drove out from the loft and he drove to Renard's house. He was tired, he hadn't slept as always. He just couldn't. Thought of waking up and seeing that he is alone again was too terrifying to fall asleep. As far as he saw, Diana hadn't slept either.
- I'm going to stop to buy coffee, do you want something? - Nick asked and looked in the mirror to see Diana, who was sitting in the backseat.
- No. - she answered with a sad voice like she didn't deserve it, Grimm sensed that.
- I will buy you some sweets, but you can't say anything to mom or dad, do you understand? - Nick smiled at the girl, she shouldn't feel so guilty... but he knew that he was the last person who could judge the little girl, he felt guilty too.
- Okay... another our secret? - Diana asked.
- Yeah... another our secret. - Nick answered and dropped the smile.
As he said, he stopped to buy some coffee and some candies for Diana, he returned to the car, he gave her the sweets.
- How does coffee taste? - she asked, eating the jelly bear.
- Well... do you wanna taste? But I warn you, you probably won't like it. - He gave her cup to the back carefully. - Be careful, it's hot. - he said. Diana took the cup and she took a sip and then she shook her head and put the tongue outside her lips.
- Bleeh!
- I told you so. - Nick laughed and took from her his cup of coffee and he parked under Renard's house.
- Hide the candies. - Grimm said with the smile. -... and remember, it's not your fault. - he added more seriously.
- Thanks. - Diana said and then she hid he candies into her bag and went to daddy who was waiting for her. Nick and Sean only exchanged looks and then Nick drove away to the police station. Sean walked with Diana to his house and then Adalind called...
Monroe, Rosalee, Wu, and Hank were waiting in the spice shop. The atmosphere was quite intense because nobody knew what is going on, what Adalind wanted to say all of them. Then Sean entered the shop, everybody looked at him surprised.
- What are you doing here? - Monroe asked, maybe they were on the same team last time, but Sean wasn't sure teammate.
- Adalind called me, where is she? - Sean asked, looking around.
- We are waiting for her too... - Rosalee answered.
- If Nick can't know about this, we must hurry up because we have time-limited excuse. - Wuu said looking at the team. Then Adalind entered the shop with Kelly in the carrier. She looked like she hadn't closed her eye last night because that was true. She sighed hard and put the carrier on the table in the next room, Kelly was sleeping, so she could leave him alone there. She even didn't say "hello" or anything like that, she was too much... what? Worried? Perhaps that was the correct word to describe all her thoughts. She came back and looked at the squad... and a cat got her tongue.
- Why do you call us Adalind? Please don't keep us worried... you sound worried... - Rosalee started babbling. She started dealing with triplets' hormones.
- I... you know how Nick always change the subject when we ask about Zerstörer? - Adalind started.
- Yeah... do you learned something? - Monroe asked, looking worried. Rosalee started to think about the worst... maybe Zerstörer was still alive? maybe he possessed Nick? Rosalee calm down! Calm Down! She started to breathing deeply.
- Yes, you can say so. - she sighed. - I overheard Nick's and Diana's conversation this night. That why I called you because it is about Diana too. - She looked at Sean, who looked at her surprised.
- Diana? Why... - Renard started to talk, but Adalind interrupted him.
- She knows too... She and Nick know what happened to Zerstörer and claimed that we don't remember that for some reason. - Adalind explained at looked at Rosalee, who was starting to calm down, it couldn't be that bad as she imagined, right?
- Do you know something more? - Hank asked, looking at Adalind.
- Yes... That is why I call you. I don't know what to do with this information... - Adalind took a sit and looked at everybody. - Diana... she feels guilty because she didn't help Nick? From what I understand at some point she wanted to go with Zerstörer. - Adalind voice broke at the end, remembering how Diana was crying. She had never seen her crying, she was angry, she was sad but Adalind had never heard her cry that hurt.
- Diana is a little bit overtired last time and closed but... - Sean shook his head, he couldn't believe that he didn't see that.
- And... Nick feels... I don't know. Afraid? I guess. - Rosalee went to the Adalind and hugged her.
- Why? - Wuu asked.
- Because he thinks when he will fall asleep, he will wake up and we will be all dead. They were talking as we were dead at some point. - Adalind looked at Rosalee, then at Monroe and the rest. Nick claimed that he saw their deaths. He was always 'i will deal with my feelings alone' type, but... that was too much even for him.
- What?!
- I don't know... But Diana and Nick were talking like they saw us dying. Diana keeps blaming herself... - Adalind started, but Monroe interrupted her.
-... and Nick probably blames himself too, because "he couldn't protect us" - Monroe finished and Adalind gave him a nod. Probably that was true too. Monroe knew Nick very well, he knew what was happening in that Gimm's head.
- But... well... I can forget many things, but I think I would remember being dead. - Wuu said, looking at them.
- I know nothing more. Nick just said that was a miracle that we are alive. - Adalind said.
- So... what we do now? - Hank asked.
What will they do with that knowledge?
