"Do you have any idea how much I love you." Nick said teasingly to his brilliant wife.
"How much do you love me?" Adalind flirted back, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Nick loves you alot mommy." Diana said cheerfully. "Here, I can show you."
Diana touches the full length mirror and it begins to glow. Then images Adalind had never seen before appear. A small house, long abandoned, in the middle of the forest. Nick looking lost and distraught. A black skull man, offering to bring everyone back to life, in exchange for the stick. The image shifted, "I want Adalind back! And Diana. I want my son!" She heard his mirror image say. Then the image shifted again to Nick kneeling by her body and removing that cursed ring. He picked up the staff, obviously with the intent to use it to revive everyone and then the mirror darkened.
"You see mommy. Nick loves you so much, he would have let the whole world be destroyed just to have us all back with him."
Adalind's eyes filled with tears as she looked at her grimm.
I told you I would go crazy without you." He said.

"Need you to give Nick a reminder of why he just doesn't cut someone's head off." Hank messaged Adalind.
"I take it he's in a bad mood and someone's getting on his nerves." Adalind messaged back.
"The suspect keeps saying, "It wasn't me" over and over in response to every question we ask. Even though we caught him in the act. And with stolen property from other locations on him."
"I'm going to send Nick two pictures. You can look at the first one, but not the second. Understood."
"Loud and clear."
Adalind goes to where the kids are playing, and says brightly, "I want to send Nick a picture of the two of you. Big smiles."
Diana reaches to her brother and lightly tickles him, causing the boy to laugh and creating the perfect photo of two beautiful laughing children to send to Nick.
He opens the message and instantly smiles, then chuckles to himself when he reads the message.
"Remember, if you go to jail for strangling a suspect, these two will miss you very much."
With the kids still playing safely on the floor, Adalind goes to the next room, closes the door and quickly undresses.
Nick hears his phone go off again. He's curious why Hank moves a distance away from him, until he opens the message and see's what he was sent.
A full image of Adalind's perfect body, clad in skimpy red lingerie, and a message that reads, "And this body will miss you, too. So please make sure to come home, we'll be waiting."
Nick's mouth goes dry and he feels himself harden.
He looks at Hank and says, "We found the stolen stuff on him, if he doesn't want to give his partner up, then let him take the fall for the whole thing."
Hank agreed. There was no use wasting their time. The partner would eventually make a mistake, and then be caught too.
But until then, Hank had a date with a balam, Adalind set him up with. And Nick, needed to get home to the people that made life worth everything.

As Nick is opening the gate to enter the loft, he hears a shriek of surprise and then an angry curse. Turning, he sees his beautiful hexenbiest, wearing one of his old tshirts and splattered with some kind of brown stuff.
"The sink was clogged and I tried to fix it." Adalind said dryly. Clearly not happy with the outcome to her task.
"Why didn't you just wait for me to get home and do it." Nick tried and failed miserably to hide his amusement.
"I was on the Dean's list. I graduated with honors, top of my class." Adalind said defensively.
"Baby, you're covered in kitchen sink goo." Nick points out.
At her little pout, that he found way to cute, Nick pulled Adalind in his arms and said, "I love how independent you are. And I really love how smart you are. But you don't have to do everything yourself. You are allowed to depend on me for things. Your book smart and I'm street smart. I depend on you to keep me sane and tell me about obscure and ancient rituals. You can expect me to handle whatever you don't know about."
Diana, who was playing on the floor with Kelly said, "Mom didn't want you to have to worry and be forced to deal with a mess, since you might have had a hard day at work."
"Adalind," He says in a soft reprimand,"I love doing things for my family. Especially since I haven't had one in a very long time."
"I guess I'm so used to having to do everything myself, be completely self sufficient and be the picture perfect woman, that I keep forgetting I don't have to be perfect for you. I sometimes still have this fear that you're going to leave, because I'm too much work, too much of a hassle."
"I'll gladly deal with the hassle as long as I never lose you again." Nick said softly, running his thumb over her cheek. "And for the record, I think you are perfect. You are incredibly smart, which I have always found very sexy. You are warm and loving. You have so much passion inside you. I love how you put your whole self into everything you do. Now that I have experienced what it is to be loved by you, I can't lose it. I won't."
Then, grinning mischievously, he whispers in her ear, "And when you wear my clothes, I want to take you to our bed and take you, over and over again, until neither one of us can move."
She gasps in shock at him. "Nick, even with me covered in god knows what?"
Smile not leaving his face, Nick shrugs and says, "So we just start in the shower and then finish in the bed."
Adalind blushes, but can't help hoping they quickly get a new place, so the kids could be put safely in their own rooms while she and Nick have adult playtime.

"Mom, why do you wear makeup?" Diana asks as she watches Adalind apply mascara.
"It makes me look pretty." Adalind replies. Focusing more on her image in the mirror, and not aware fully of the conversation with her daughter.
Diana walks over to where Nick is dressing Kelly.
"Dad, do you like when mom where's makeup?"
"Not really." Nick replies, having most of his attention on his extremely high energies son, and so is not fully aware or able to think through the answers he's giving his stepdaughter.
"Why not?"
"Apparently, I always ruin her lipstick."
Diana decides to google what that means, since both of her parents are really busy.
She finds Nick's phone and types in ruined lipstick.
A line pops up, "Be with a man who ruins your lipstick and never your mascara."
Adalind comes out at that time, "Ok, I'm ready."
Nick holding a now dressed Kelly in one arm, smiles at her walks over, and with his free arm, pulls the blonde into a kiss.
"Nick" Adalind swats his chest, giggling. "You're going to ruin my lipstick again."
Diana types ruined mascara in the phone, and sees images of women who have obviously been crying with black smudges running down their faces.
She looks at her parents, sees her mom smiling brightly at Nick. Diana realizes that her mom never smiled like that around her other dad.
It was good, then, that her parents were not together, mommies should always be happy.
Diana hands Nick his phone.
He smiles at her and touches her head with affection. The little girl smiles back, then wraps her arms around his legs and gives him a tight hug. He hugs her back and asks, "Not that I'm complaining, but what's this for?"
"I love that you ruin mom's lipstick and not her mascara."
