Nick was still thinking about those rings a couple of days later, when he had his family looking at the house Adalind had talked about.
While he knew they needed a better place than the loft, there was still a lot to consider, when deciding on a home for the family of a grimm.
Nick first observed at the place with a family man's eye.
It really was beautiful.
Four bedrooms, two and a half baths, a two car garage, swimming pool.
It was perfect for them.
With the bonus that Adalind got from her law firm, there would be zero issue with affording the house.
Next came the cop's eye.
The security would most definitely need to be upgraded, better locks, and a complete alarm system with cameras.
While Nick knew he didn't have to worry about his two girls in a fair fight, there was always the chance of too many sneaking up on them when they are distracted.
He didn't want to take any risks with his family.
Adalind knew what Nick was thinking, she smiled seeing him eye the common locks and security system. Without a doubt, the first items purchased for the home, would be new and more complex locks and a security system by Nick's own design.
Nick's scrutiny meant he liked the house and wanted it as much as she did.
It took a great deal of effort to keep her smile in check and not jump up and down with excitement.
They put in their bid for the house with the real estate agent and headed to the spice shop to meet up with Monroe and Rosalie.
"I can't wait for you to see it, so beautiful, and there's even a pool. Think of all the backyard barbeques we can have" Adalind gushed with excitement.
"Well, when the weather in Portland allows it" Monroe commented, earning an elbow in the side from his wife.
"I have so many idea's for how to decorated every room." Adalind continued undeterred. "I would love to have an old clock in the living room, not a cuckoo clock, something with chimes. So, I would love it, if you would be on the lookout for one, please Monroe, it would mean a lot."
Rosalie could practically feel the smugness radiating off of her husband.
Monroe nodded, and promised he would find the perfect clock for Nick and Adalind's new home.
The grimm swore he saw something on the blutbad's face, that made him think the older man had something up his sleeve.
A glance at Rosalie only furthered Nick's suspicions.
The wesson couple was up to something.
He decided to let it go, for now. The grimm doubted if either one was up to trouble. Gut instinct said it would be something Nick's family would love.
And whatever made Adalind happy, he was more than ok with.
The next day, when they were getting ready for their portrait session, the real estate agent called to notify them the house was theirs
The previous owners had liked that it would be a cop's family that would be moving in, they had a great deal of respect for law enforcement, and thought a man who put his life on the line every day deserved to live in the home.
Helping Nick into his uniform, as she promised she would, Adalind said to him,"I wonder what they would have thought if they knew being a detective was just one of your dangerous jobs."
Nick smiled, enjoying the feel of her fingers drift over his chest, wishing she was removing the shirt instead of helping to cover him in more clothes.
His eyes roamed over her form. Adalind was the picture of feminine beauty and softness. She wore a dress that hugged her waist and flowed out, stopping just at her knees. White and shear with red roses adorning in an elegant and tasteful style.
Somehow, she had found a similar style dress in Diana's size.
If anyone asked NIck, he would have sworn hexenbiest magic had something to do with it.
Kelly had on a navy blue pants and jacket set with a white shirt, looking like a miniature version of Nick.
Do to a drizzle outside, there was no choice but to have the pictures done at the studio.
The photographer was an energetic eisbiber named Roy, who Nick recognised from Bud's lodge.
Roy was so excited to be taking the portrait for the hero grimm's family, he kept fully woging and unwoging, causing Diana and Kelly to giggle.
The children were first in having their portraits done, separately and together, Adalind had one with each of her children, than of all three of them together. Nick followed suit, then the whole family together.
After Roy took a few shot, he and Nick exchanged a look, Nick nodded. The two had talked about this the day before. Nick calling to confirm the appointment and to add one more picture would need to be taken.
Pulling the ring from his pocket, Nick got down on one knee in front of a very shocked looking Adalind. He could see the big grin on Diana's face as he asked her mother.
"Adalind, will you marry me."
