"What kind of psycho robs a candy store?" Hank asked when he and Nick arrived at the scene.

"Someone with a criminal sweet tooth." Wu deadpanned.

The sergeant then escorted the two detectives to the back room where the owner and sole worker was sitting and looking very distraught.

While the woman was explaining what happened, Nick noticed an assortment of candies that all look like flowers. "Could I get a large box of those?" He asked the owner once she was done giving her statement and had given them the video from the surveillance cameras.

The woman's expression turned from distraught to delighted. Obviously happy to still be able to make a sale. She placed the confections in a white box and then wrapped it with a gold ribbon.

Nick put the box immediately under the back seat the moment he got to his car.

"You're not gonna share with your partner?" Hank asked in a teasing voice, already guessing who Nick is planning on giving the box of candy to.

"If you want candy, you can go back in there and get some for yourself. These are for Adalind." Nick stated.

"Combining flowers and chocolate in one gift? Somebody hoping to start something with the mother of his child?"

Nick saw no point in denying it. Especially with the fact he was hoping for something that would last a lifetime with Adalind. And telling Hank anything but the truth would only be delaying him and everyone else getting used to Adalind being Nick's choice.

"She's become important to me and I want her to know that." Nick stated.

By the seriousness in his partners tone, Hank knew there was only one response he could give.

"I'm sure she'll love them. I'm glad that things are working out so well for the two of you."

"Thank you. Me too"

When Nick got home, he hid the box behind his back as he entered and saw Adalind in the kitchen area.

"Hi" Adalind greeted. "How was work?"

"Somebody robbed a candy store."

"That's horrible." Adalind replied in understandable outrage.

"What was really horrible was the joke Wu made."

Adalind shook her head, rolled her eyes and continued to stir whatever was cooking on the stove.

"Oh" Nick said, pretending like he just remembered. "I got you something."

He pulled the box from behind his back and positioned it in front of the blonde.

Adalind beamed as she opened the box and saw the beautifully shaped confections.

She wrapped her arms around Nick's neck and hugged him tight. "Thank you so much."

This was exactly the reaction he had been hoping for. His arms automatically wrapped themselves around her back and he answered softy, "You're welcome."

For a moment they just stood there, lost in the feel of their bodies pressed close together.

Of it's own free will, Nick's hand raised and began to stroke Adalind's hair. His eyes closed and he breathed deeply, taking in her scent.

Adalind pressed her nose into Nick's neck. She felt so safe. She felt as if she belonged right there, held tightly in his arms and pressed against his body.

A voice in the back of her mind told her that the moment would be perfect if neither of them were wearing clothes.

Adalind was pulled out of her secret thoughts and desires by the sound of her son fussing in his crib.

Reluctantly, the couple withdrew their arms from one another and went to tend to their child.

"I was thinking we could use a night out." Nick said to Adalind. "Maybe dinner and a movie?"

Adalind smiled. "That sounds amazing, but I doubt anyone at a restaurant or movie theater would appreciate a couple with a fussy baby."

"We could get Monroe and Rosalee to watch Kelly?" Nick suggested.

Adalind looked fearful for a moment. "I don't like the idea of being away from my baby."

Nick put his hands on her shoulders. "Adalind, I know what we put you through with Diana hurt you. And not a day has gone by where I haven't regretted listening to Renard. Now that I'm a father myself, I can't understand how he could just let his daughter go. I know that should anyone try to take my child from me, there is nothing I would not do or risk until we were reunited. And I want to let you know, that I asked Rosalee to contact the wesen council. If they see a girl matching Diana's description, they'll let us know. I will do everything in my power to reunite your daughter with you. As well as keep you and our son safe."

"Really!" Adalind smiled at him brightly.

Nick nodded. "It was wrong of us to exclude you from the plan and wrong of us to carry it out. And I want to make things right. For everyone's sake. We deserve to know if we can be better than we were. Maybe even see if we can be a family. You, me, Kelly and Diana." Nick softened his voice and said, "Monroe and Rosalee won't let anything happen to Kelly. And Rosalee told me you want with me what she has with Monroe."

Adalind blushed and tried to pull away but Nick stopped her and said, "I want the same thing." She looked at him with wide eyes, speechless with shock, so he continued, "I want us to have some time alone together. Where we can focus on us. It wouldn't be right to place the strength of our relationship on the fact that we have a child together. I know neither of us would want to put Kelley through that, give him that burden. That's why I want to take you out on a real date." Nick smirked and raised her hand to his lips. "So, I'm asking, Adalind Schade, will you go out with me?"

For the second time that evening, Adalind throws her arms around Nick;s neck and hugged him tight.

Nick hugged her back and said, "So is that a yes?"

Adalind giggled. "Yes." She nodded her head really fast multiple times. "Yes, I would love to go out with you."

She then picked up Kelly and said, "Did you hear that? Mommy and daddy are going on a date."
