Captain Sean Renard resigned from the Portland police department, citing personal reasons. He left the city, telling no one where he was going. The spell used had taken away his powers and he feared retribution from past advisories if he stayed.
His replacement was a steinadler named Farly Colt, who was impressed by Nick's ability to not only work well with Wesen, to use the resources they provided to solve cases, but to also genuinely have strong family-like bonds with them.
Captain Colt had called Nick into his office, woged and then asked Nick if there would be a problem with his working under a wesen again.
Nick had responded with a grin and said, "I just hope you make better choices then the previous guy."
He let him know that Hank and Wu knew about wesen and that he would tell them that the new captain was wesen, because he refused to keep secrets from his friends.
After calling Adalind to tell her the new captain was a steinadler, she suggested having him over for dinner so he could meet the rest of Nick's friends and those who often helped solve some of the most puzzling wesen related crimes.
Colt suspected it was also so the hexenbiest could ensure he would not have an ulterior motive for working at the same precinct as a grimm.
The steinadler wasn't offended. Quite the opposite, really. To see a hexenbiest so protective of a grimm was very intriguing. And it showed how unique of a grimm Nick was, to have the love and devotion of a being known mostly for being power hungry and superficial.
Of course, Adalind was far from the stereotype. The way she and Nick looked at each other with such love and tenderness often made Colt want to look away, feeling like he was intruding on a private moment.
Catherine Schade was never seen in Portland again. She changed her name and moved to a private island in the Mediterranean. She had also made quite a few enemies and feared what they would do if they found out she was powerless.
Kelly Burkhard left Portland as well, there were bad things happening in other parts of the world that she needed to handle, but promised her son she would keep in touch through email.
"Send a picture when you decide to change Adalind's last name." She told her son with a wink.
Nick did not even bother trying to suggest his mother was mistaken with her assumptions, especially with the fact he was already looking at rings.
When Nick proposed to Adalind, he took her to one of the famous rose gardens of Portland, in June when it was in full bloom.
Neither Felicia or Caroline was upset that Adalind chose Rosalee to be her maid of honor.
Hank was a little offended that he wasn't going to be the best man, and then greatly offended when Wu said Hank might be bad luck to have at a wedding, since he was at his four and they had ended in divorce.
Nick's bachelor party camping weekend turned into a grimm hunt when four lausenschlange tried to kidnap six eisbiber children.
Saving the children and locking up the kidnappers put him in good standing with the eisbiber lodge of Portland, who all became even more impressed to hear he was marrying a hexenbiest.
The amount of jams, blankets, baked goods and other confection that entered Nick and Adalind's home was overwhelming.
But Adalind had to admit that wedding planning was a lot less stressful when an army of eisbiber women were determined to ensure the fiance of the hero grimm got what she wanted.
Everyone agreed that it was wonderful having a whole lodge of eisbiber on their side when they needed to get a secure location for the trailer and the eisbiber created an underground storage unit right on property Adalind bought with a bonus she received from winning a case for the eisbiber against some troll wesen trying to extort the beaver wesen.
And since the troll wesen had hired some reapers to kill Nick, as revenge for investigating and arresting them, the eisbiber proclaimed that they couldn't do enough for the wonderful grimm and his soon to be wife.
The property that Adalind put in Nick's deceased father's name, was in an area mostly used for hunting and camping. Being in the forest and close to a brooke helped make the protection charms even stronger because she was able to combine all of the elements of nature.
Being in the middle of nowhere also helped hide the bodies of the reapers that Nick killed protecting himself.
At Monroe's suggestion, they sent the heads of the reapers to those that had dispatched them as a clear warning to stop trying to mess with the Grimm of Portland.
Captain Colt used resources to make sure Nick was covered and never came to trouble with the law when dealing with unique situations.
He would usually shrug off Nick's gratitude by saying, "I'd just hate to be on the bad side of your hexenbiest."
Of course, neither did Nick, which was why he agonized over where to take her for their honeymoon. He wanted to get away from everyone and everything, for it to be just the two of them.
But because it was their life, even on a Caribbean cruise, they ran into a wesen problem. A ziegevolk was breathing a substance to make women sleep with him, including married women whose husbands were traveling with them. The goat wesen tried to drug Adalind and was not only surprised that she was immune, but that she was married to a grimm.
Since they were in a ship's bar with a lot of people around, the goat wesen made a very fast escape. However, Nick and Adalind were able to catch him as he was trying to manipulate a woman on the island the ship had docked at.
Nick praised his wife's resourcefulness as she whipped together a potion to prevent the ziegevolk from drugging anyone ever again.
"I really hope our kids inherit your intelligence."
Adalind blushed. She was certain she would never grow tired of Nick expressing what he liked about her. She also told him she hoped their kids inherited his eyes.
Monroe and Rosalee were next to be engaged, but it was Hank and Felicia who were married next.
"You're the only guy I know who can go to Vegas for a fun weekend and end up getting married." Wu snarked at Hank when the detective told his friends.
When Wu's and Caroline's families met, they immediately started planning their children's wedding. They could see the couple adored and were in love with each other.
Caroline's family had no problem with her marrying a non wesen. Female Dryades outnumbered the male, so the women often married outside of their race.
Interestingly, Wu's only nervousness about his wedding was that his family insisted it be a traditional Philippine wedding, which meant he had to wear a white barong tagalog, traditional suit.
"With our luck, it will get something spilled on it right before the ceremony starts." He voiced his concerns to the gang, though he was mostly looking at Adalind, obviously asking her if there was anything she could do.
It was the easiest thing in the world to soak the garment, as well as the bride's traditional baro't saya to prevent any damage.
Rosalee was grateful her mother never asked about if her hexenbiest friend could protect or restore things when it came to her own wedding. Her sister destroying their grandmother's wedding dress the very night before/early morning of the wedding was an unplanned but still appreciated gift.
Everyone knew life was never going to be easy for them. It would always hold a lot of surprises. Some sad, some horrifying, but also some really good ones.
When Nick held his new born son in his hands, he definitely counted it as one of the really good things. It almost took his breath away, how much love he had for his family.
Adalind was just as breathless. She couldn't help thinking of how her own mother had always been so uncaring toward her, but she knew she would do anything for her family.
Seeing the man she loved holding their son made her smile as she thought that rejecting her mother and Sean Renard, and maybe even giving Nick that potion, even though it didn't really work, was the best choice she ever made.
Thank you all for reading and dealing with the sporadic postings. I hope the ending was worth it. I would like to thank wikipedia and social media users grimmnadalind5, adaschade and gigibeeboo for supplying me with information and inspiration.
