I don't own Grimm

"Oh, you're just a small bump unknown, you'll grow into your skin,
With a smile like hers and a dimple beneath your chin," - "Small Bump" Ed Sheeran

For hours they walked through the forest.

There was little commentary, other than the pregnant woman's- Adalind's- sounds of discomfort as she took heavy steps which upset her stomach and the man's- Meisner's- requests that both she and Magdalene walk faster. She tried to do what he said, but she didn't have much stamina. Luckily, only just before Magdalene felt it was time to ask for a break, Meisner announced they were at their designated location.

"This is it." He said and Magdalene looked up from watching her footsteps to see a small, dark cabin thirty or so feet in front of them. Just from the outside, she could tell no one had been inside in a very long time.

"Who lives here?" Adalind asked as they went towards it.

"No one," Meisner replied. "It's been in my family for a long time." Continuing up the undistinguished path, Meisner opened the creaky door, shining the light around as he stepped inside. Magdalene let Adalind go in first and closed the door once she was inside herself.

"I'm hungry." Adalind complained as she made her way over to the single bed. Magdalene put her stuff on the couch near the fireplace that Meisner inspected.

"I'll get us something to eat after I start a fire." He told them.

"We're in the middle of nowhere," Adalind reminded. "How are you gonna-" She stopped when he held up in gun in explanation. "Oh..."

"There's some bedding in the trunk." He told them. Adalind went to get up, but Magdalene decided to help out.

"I'll get it."

"Thanks..." Going to the wooden trunk at the foot of the bed, Magdalene pulled out the sheets and pillows. Feeling awkward as she watched the teen make the bed, Adalind tried to make conversation. "So, why are you leaving Austria?"

"To see my father." Magdalene answered as Meisner began to start the fire. "He lives in Portland."

"How long has it been since you've seen him?" Adalind asked. From his position knelt down in front of the fireplace, Meisner tried to listen in. He didn't actually know much about the girl. Sean had told him nothing other than him being her father.

"I've never met him." She replied as she smoothed out the flat sheet and went back to the trunk for the cover. "At least, not that I can remember. My Uncle Eric says that I saw him once as a baby, but I wouldn't know if he was lying or not."

"Eric was your uncle?" Adalind asked, disbelieving as the girl nodded. "But Eric only has one brother."

She nodded again. "My father." Adalind looked back at Meisner.

"She's Sean's daughter?" Meisner looked away without answering and went back to building the fire as Adalind turned back to the teen. "How old are you?"

"Nineteen." Magdalene answered. "You know my father?" Adalind's hand immediately went to her bulging stomach as she remembered what Sean had said.

'I believe the child you're carrying is mine, not Eric's.'

"Yeah," Adalind nodded a bit as the room began to lighten and grow warmer, for Meisner had successfully started the fire. "You could say that."

Meisner left a few minutes later and Adalind found herself standing near the fire, trying to warm up, as she watched Magdalene brush her hair on the couch. She couldn't help but wonder why she hadn't know about Sean's child. Sure, they hadn't exactly been best friends, but Adalind's mother made it her business to know about the royals. She most certainly would have told Adalind if she knew about Sean having a child.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Magdalene asked suddenly and Adalind raised her eyebrows in confusion as her spontaneous question. "Your baby."

"Oh, um..." Adalind looked down at her stomach. "I don't know yet." She admitted, knowing there was no way she was going to tell Magdalene the truth. The truth was that she was planning to sell her baby to Stefania if it meant she could get her powers back so she hadn't wanted to know. Adalind had no idea if what she had done had restored her powers, but she was hoping.

"Do you and your husband have any names picked out?" Adalind shook her head as she lowered herself down onto the couch.

"I don't have a husband." She replied. Adalind noticed the teens awkwardness and her blue eyes went down to Magdalene's hands where she was twirling a small, thin object with her fingers. "What's that?" Magdalene's eyes immediately went to the object and she held it up to show it to Adalind. It was a thin, golden, oval shaped necklace pendant with an engraving of a fully grown tree with intricate roots.

"It's my necklace." Magdalene answered as she lowered it with a shake of her head. "It was my mothers." Adalind opened her mouth to ask a question, but stopped when the door opened and Meisner entered the cabin.

Meisner came back with three rabbits on a string slung over his shoulder. He didn't say anything as he closed the door and dropped the rabbits on the floor next to the fire and looked to the duo seated on the couch. Both looked to him, expecting him to say something, but he just squinted at them, trying to see what the shining object floating in the air between them was.

"Adalind are you doing that?" He asked suddenly and the blonde turned to see what he was looking at. Magdalena's pendant was hovering in the air between them.

"What are you looking at?" Magdalene turned to look at what the other two were watching, but when she turned her head, the pendant fell onto the between between her and Adalind. Meisner looked to Adalind who shook her head. She wasn't doing it, but she knew that there was a chance that it was her baby or even Magdalene. Adalind had been young when she first woged, so she supposed that Magdalene had already done so.

"Did you do th-" Adalind began, but Meisner quickly stood up and interrupted her thought.

"You must be tired." He said to the brunette teen. "Why don't you lie down? You can eat when you wake up."

Adalind had to keep her mouth shut for, what seemed like, hours, but was most likely only a few minutes, for the teen to fall asleep on the small couch near the fire. As soon as she heard the blonde's breathing even out, Adalind turned to Meisner who was cleaning the rabbits. "Why did you stop me from asking her?" She demanded. "I'm not gonna lie to her."

"You have a problem with lying now?" He asked and Adalind crossed her arms.

"She's just a kid." Adalind reminded him. "A sweet one at that- And she's my baby's sister. It just doesn't feel right to me; lying to her."

"It's for her own good." Meisner assured her. "Both Sean and her mother were Wesen. Sean, a Zauberbeist, her mother, a Hexenbeist, but Magdalene has yet to woge."

"She's nineteen." Adalind said. "How has she not woged yet?" Adalind had woged when she was only a child. Meisner shook his head.

"I won't pretend to know." He replied. "Sean thinks it because she's been sheltered her entire life. She's never known stress or had an experience to trigger it."

Adalind pulled her shoes off and looked away when she saw Meisner cut the rabbit open. "That's another thing," She said pulling off her coat. "Why isn't she living with him? Why is she living in Austria is with the royals?"

"You will have to ask Sean if you ever see him." He answered before they both lapsed into silence. Soon after skinning and gutting the other two rabbits, Meisner cooked them before he and Adalind ate.

The blonde was just settling herself under the extra cover Meisner had given her when she suddenly felt a sharp pain go through her body. "Ahh!" She sat up with a gasp and Meisner reached for his gun before he realized that it wasn't a cry of terror, but a cry of pain.

"What's happening?" He asked and Adalind looked over to him.

"The baby's coming." She told him as she was hit with another wave of pain. Adalind let out a screech so loud that it woke Magdalene, who nearly fell off of the couch she slept on.

"What's going on?" She asked as Meisner rushed over to the blonde and threw the covers away before pushing the sheets up.

"Adalind is having her baby." Adalind screamed again in agonizing pain as she threw her head back. She honestly didn't know what could be worth this much pain. "Come."

Slipping off the couch, Magdalene rushed over as Meisner threw the blanket off of Adalind and helped her out of her pants and underwear. "What do you want me to do?" Magdalene asked, not knowing where to go. "I don't know what to do. I've only read about these things in books and things like that!"

"Do not panic." Meisner ordered. "Take Adalind's hand."

"How is that going to help?" She demanded, but did as she was ordered and ran to the side of the bed before taking Adalind's hand in hers. She couldn't help, but let out a little noise of pain and Adalind squeezed. "God, you're strong for a pregnant woman!" Adalind let out another scream as another wave of pain hit her.

"I can't do this!" She cried, shaking her head. "It hurts too much! I can't do this!"

"Hey!" Adalind lifted her head and looked straight ahead where Meisner had pushed apart her knees and he looked her straight in the eye. "You can do this." He told her even though she shook her head.

"No, I can't."

"Yes, you can." Meisner repeated. "Just focus on breathing, c'mon." He said. "Breathe in..." He sucked in a large breath and watched as Adalind did the same. "Breath out." Meisner let out his breath and Adalind did too. "And again." He ordered. "In-" But he was cut off by another scream, but it hadn't come from Adalind.

Adalind had pulled Magdalene's hand to her mouth and bit down on it, inciting a scream from the blonde who tried to pull her hand away. "She bit me..." Magdalenelooked down at her hand where Adalind had managed to break the skin before looking to the blonde. "You bit me!"

"Magdalena, duck!" Meisner ordered and she did, just in time before a small tin cup and three books, that had been sitting on the bedside table, went flying past her head.

"What was that?" She demanded, but didn't get her answer, for Adalind let out another bloodcurdling scream.

"I see the head!" Meisner announced, looking under the sheet that covered the lower half of Adalind's body. "Keep pushing!"

"What else am I supposed to do!?" Adalind screamed before squeezing Magdalene's hand again and she squeezed back, hoping that it would lessen her own pain. "Oh my God, get it out of me!"

"Just a few more." Meisner instructed. "The head is out. You just need to push just a bit more."

Adalind screamed again as she pushed as squeezed Magdalene's hand as hard as she could. It hurt, but Magdalene made the reasonable deduction that Adalind's pain was worse at the moment.

A few screams later, the baby was finally out.

"It's a girl." Meisner said as Magdalene let go of Adalind's hand. He looked up, expected to see Adalind with either a happy, relieved or tired look on her face, but his eyes widened when he saw she was woged. "Magdalene," He said, pulling the teens eyes away from the baby in his arms. He needed to get her away from Adalind immediately; not because he was afraid Adalind would hurt her, but because Magdalene knew nothing about Wesen. "Can you go get the knife from the fire?" She nodded and moved away from Adalind, who's face was now back to normal. "Clean it first."

"I didn't mean to." Adalind whispered once Maggie was cleaning the knife. "I couldn't help it."

"I understand." He assured her. "Just try to keep the woging to a minimum." She nodded just as the teen came back with the knife and Meisner instructed her how to cut the umbilical cord.
