Nick is sitting at his desk doing paperwork when Hank says, "Your wife and son are here."
The grimm looks up to see Adalind, pretty mouth tight in a frown, and nine years old Kelly, whose arm is being held in a firm grip by his mother as the two enter the bullpen.
Without even saying hello, the hexenbiest asks, "Do you know what your son just did?"
Nick wanted to say, "No, but I'm sure you'll tell me." However, he knew that would only make his wife even angrier, seeing as how she seemed in no mood for jokes. So instead, Nick asks, "What happened."
"I got a call from the school. It seems your son and his friends decided to prank the teacher. Poor Mr. Truman is horridly afraid of snakes. So of course your son thought it was a good idea to tie a string to a lifelike rubber snake, and, while the man was teaching, make it slither across the room."
Not able to hold back his pride and amusement, Kelly added. "You should have seen it. He screamed so loud, hitting a really high note, and jumped up on his desk."
Nick and Hank laughed along with the boy, until they saw the look of fury on Adalind's face.
"It was one harmless prank." Nick said. "I don't see why the school would call you?"
"One prank on one teacher would have been alright." Adalind informed her husband. "But multiple pranks on multiple members of the school staff is not alright. Spreading melted limburger cheese under the principal's desk. Rigging a large fake spider to jump out of a teacher's desk drawer when she opens it. And placing a bucket of glitter over the gym teacher's office door. The only way he was going to get that stuff off, was to go home and shower."
"It's kind of impressive how he was able to pull all of that off." Hank comments.
"Why did you do all of those things." Nick asks his son, equally impressed with Kelly's hard work but also sensing there was something more going on.
The future grimm blushes, looks down at his feet and says, "Camilla was sad because her abuela died. I got my friends to help me make her laugh."
Adalind's jaw drops as she stares in awe at her son for a moment. All of her annoyance had disappeared, and was replaced with pride at how sweet her little boy could be.
Nick crouches to his son and beaming with pride, advised him, "I'm glad that you care about your friend and wanted her to feel better, but maybe next time not go so over the top with pranking others. I doubt the teachers had much fun today. Next time try drawing her a picture or something. Ok, buddy?"
Kelly nods. "Ok dad."
Nick stands back up and looks at his wife. "See? Our son's not a troublemaker. He was just a little misguided."
Adalind visibly sighs and said, "He takes after the both of us. My at one time misguided heart. And your way of wanting to make people happy."
Nick pulls Adalind to him, pressing a chaste kiss on her lips. "I don't see anything wrong with that."
