The wedding party…
The reception looked amazing. Beautiful decorations dotted around the room, circular tables for the guests and a straight long table for the Bride and groom along with their family and bridesmaids and groomsmen. Adalind was looking over at the large space in the middle of the room which was for dancing. She was hoping that she could still dance even though her stomach might get in the way.
Nick was walking towards where they were to be seated whilst holding his wife's arm in his own. Kelly was on Nick's shoulders towering over everybody and looking at them with a curious gaze. Diana was really excited about the party and hoped to see her mother dance with her new Father. She had often used her dolls to picture what it would look like but now it would be real.
Monroe was walking behind the newly weds with Rosalee. The triplets were at home with a babysitter they hired. It was good for them to get away once and a while, the stress that the triplets caused was insane. Looking at Nick and Adalind, at how happy they were Monroe was realising just how much he loved Rosalee and gave her a kiss on the cheek as they walked.
"What was that for?" She asked Monroe who gave her a smile.
"Because I just realised how much I actually love you." He said with a smooth tone which made her giggle. Monroe wrapped his arms around her neck as they continued to walk behind Nick and Adalind.
The happy couple sat down at their assigned seats and waited for everyone else. When the rest of the guests sat down, music began playing and food was presented. It was a buffet layout so people began standing to get food.
"You want me to get ya Anything?" Nick looked at Adalind who seemed a little tired from walking so much. She kissed him and then looked at Diana.
"Yes please, I'm starving. I've got a craving for pickles right now, can you get me a plate of them. And take Diana and Kelly with you." Nick laughed at Adalind at her odd craving and then grabbed the hands of his children. He kissed her before walking down to the buffet table.
Adalind sat quietly on her own looking at all of her guests. She still couldn't believe it, she was married and not because someone told her she had to but because she wanted to.
Some guests were still coming into the reception, some couples and others hoping to find their significant other in this atmosphere of love. Then someone she hoped would come entered. It was Trubel.
"Trubel!" she shouted across the room gesturing her to come up to talk. It was exciting to see her, especially after she helped a lot to plan for the wedding.
"Hey congratulations! Sorry I couldn't be there for the ceremony I was picking someone up." suddenly she was attacked by a hug from Adalind. Then she looked up at her,
"It's fine as long as you're here now. Who were you picking up?" Before Trubel could answer Eve popped out from the blue and gave her a small smile. Adalind felt this is probably one of the most awkward moments she has been in, and it was.
Suddenly her happiness turned to guilt. She felt like she was the reason that Nick couldn't have a happy life with Julliet before she turned into Eve. And now she has Nick's child and 2 more on the way. It was just awkward for everyone in their vicinity.
"Hey Eve, I didn't expect to see you here." Adalind gave Eve a hug as to not discriminate between her and Trubel.
"Yeah I wasn't planning on coming but Trubel convinced me. Congratulations though, I really am happy for both of you. And wow look at you, your belly it's huge." The three began laughing and the awkward tension began to dissipate.
"So how's Diana and Kelly doing?" Eve asked as she looked over at them seeing Nick playing with them as he waited to get food. She smiled at them but was trying to hold back feelings of jealousy. Everything she wanted with Nick is everything that Adalind had with him and it's all her own fault. She wallowed in self-pity for a long time but had tried to move on but it wasn't easy.
"They are both perfect. Kelly is beginning to be more like Nick everyday, he is definitely going to be a Grimm." Adalind let out a small laugh at the end thinking about her little Grimm.
"Hey Trubel! Eve! You made it." Nick came back with food in tow. Adalind eyed the pickles with a malicious craving. He handed her the plate and she began devouring the pickles like a starving wolf would with fresh game. The group looked at her estranged and then Adalind stopped still with a mouthful.
"Pregnant cravings?" Trubel asked which Adalind nodded at. Nick laughed as he slipped his hand on her back stroking it gently.
"I think it's nearly time for people wanting to dance. That means we have to go down soon." She looked at him still eating the pickles. Swallowing them she licked her slips to get some of the flavour off of them.
"Ok then baby, I think I can manage a dance." she gave him a kiss before moving back to her seat with the rest if her pickles and sat down. Nick had told the kids to go and eat their food at the table before he approached the group and he knew that soon Kelly would be running around again. He decided to go back up to Adalind so he could eat before he danced.
"Well I'll leave you to enjoy the party, maybe you can come to dinner at ours tomorrow night?" He looked at them hoping to get a quick response before he left them. Eve didn't respond and was thinking if it would be right to do that.
"Yeah sure we'll both come down." Trubel responded noticing Eve's reluctance. Nick smiled before making a small jog back up to his wife and sitting next to her and ate food.
"Well that must have been awkward.l for you." Monroe asked as he leaned in to talk with Nick. He turned to look at him and sighed.
"I don't know anymore. I'm hoping that it's all good but I got the feeling there's more to it." Monroe nodded and patted him strongly on the shoulder.
"I get it. Best it to dwell on it, I mean you are married after all. Now Adalind is the only women in your life you should be concerned about." He held up a pint of beer and gestured for him to pick his up. Nick followed and tapped their beers together before drinking.
Suddenly a man came to the centre of the the dance floor with a microphone. "it is now time to witness the first dance between husband and wife, would you please make your way down." Nick took a deep breath and stood. He took Adalind's hand and began walking down to the dance floor.
They stood in the centre of the floor and held each other closely waiting for the music to start. Everyone in the room was silent and then the lights began to dim. The newly weds could barely see anyone else except for themselves. A spotlight shone on them and music began playing.
Without thought they began swaying around in an organized way. Adalind's dress was flowing around and the sequins sparkled in the light.
"Honey, I just want you to know that I've never wanted anyone else more than I want you." Nick said which made Adalind blush and she moved both her hands to his neck. They moved together into a kiss as they swayed.
"Mmm. I love it when you sweet talk with me." Adalind smiled, suddenly she felt the babies kick which startled her slightly.
"They're kicking, quickly feel." She pulled Nick's hand to her belly and he smiled. He stroked her belly as they still moved in a slow motion.
"I love you so much I swear that I will protect you and our children with my life." He vowed to her which made Adalind giggle.
"Well let's hope that we won't need much protection. A simple and peaceful life is fine by me." The spotlight shut off and the room lights went back on. The room began applauding as the couple smiled around the room.
An hour later…
After everyone had finished dancing they were all sitting down and were expecting words from the best man and maid of honour. Monroe was first to stand up and took the mic.
"Well, what can I say about Nick. I have known Nick for a long time and and at first I have to tell you, he annoyed me. He would constantly ask me for favours and advice and it interrupted my schedule a whole bunch. But after time I realised that he helped me a lot with my issues and hell I would never have my wife if it wasn't for Nick. I owe him so much and I hope that he has a long and happy life with his beautiful wife Adalind." The room filled with clapping and Nick have Monroe a hug and pat on the back. It was Rosalee's turn and she followed the same pattern Monroe did.
"I must admit I haven't known Adalind for a long time but in the time I have known her I have grown to like her. I see how happy she makes Nick and she is a fierce and loving mother. I mean honestly how do you do it. But what I'm trying to say is that I am happy for both if you and like my husband said, I hope you live long and happy lives." Adalind looked at her and thanked her for those beautiful words. Nick and Adalind were holding hands underneath the table. Could this day get any better.
Back at home…
Nick and Adalind decided not to have a honeymoon, mainly because she was pregnant but also they both would prefer just some family downtime. Tomorrow they would have a dinner with friends, but for now it was them and the kids.
"Daddy can we watch a film?" Diana asked Nick as they walked inside the house. He knelt down to her height and brushed the piece of hair that was over her face.
"Sure sweetheart. Go get into your pyjamas and we'll find one to watch." She cheered before running up the stairs and into her room. Adalind had a sleeping Kelly in her arms.
"Give him here, I'll take him to bed. You go and get changed into sweatpants and a shirt I know you love wearing them." He gave her a kiss before taking Kelly and walking up the stairs with him and Adalind.
He took Kelly into his room and changed him into his pyjamas, surprisingly without waking him up. He kissed his forehead and stood by the door looking in admiration at his son.
Adalind had changed into something more comfortable and saw the back of Nick outside their son's room. She slipped her arms around his waist and rested her chin on his shoulder.
"I think we did good Nick. I think he'll grow up to be just like his dad, maybe even better looking." Nick let a small burst of laughter out and he heard Adalind giggle slightly into his back. He turned to look at her and gave her a kiss.
"Am I that bad looking?" He asked which Adalind responded with his finger on his lips.
"You are the best looking and most caring man I have ever met and I love you." She leaned into a kiss which Nick gladly accepted. Diana came up in a set of purple pyjamas with a warm brown dressing gown and she held a small teddy bear.
"can we watch that film now?" Nick smiled at her and then picked her up before kissing her cheek, his beard tickled her face and she giggled.
"Of course we can, let's go." He took Adalind's hand and made their way downstairs.
