Author's note: Okay so whoever keeps changing my password is a giant A-HOLE. Please stop. I am doing no harm and this is therapeutic for me, but also educational as I do wish to become a published writer one day and am even circulating my work to companies so when I hear feedback it helps me greatly. And I don't get your motivation either? You're not deleting my stuff or adding your own work so I don't know what possible motivation you have to keep changing my password. Please stop. I really hope this stops otherwise I might just stop writing this.
In other news.
I don't own Grimm. Grimm is the property of NBC, and are not my intellectual property. There is no financial gain made from this nor will any be sought. This is for entertainment purposes only. ANOTHER CHAPTER FOR YOU LOVELIES. I tried to get this up on Valentine's Day and it wouldn't let me upload it. I don't know if that was because if everyone was writing a romance story or chapter and had the same idea as me or what! But since I had some more time I tried to make it saucier to make up for not being able to upload it as planned! I'm sorry if it's not great, it is my first attempt at this kind of scene. I apologize for any grammar errors. I know there are some, but I really wanted to get something out for you. At some point, I will go back and edit them, but that time is not now! Anyways…your FEATURE PRESENTATION…
(Nick's POV)
As he laid beside a sound asleep Adalind, he thought about what the future held for them. What just transpired between two of them completely changed their relationship. They evolved. They went from two individuals who spawned a child to now parents on the cusp of falling in love with each other. It sounded backwards and the opposite of a fairytale, but he knew better now. He knew not all fairytales were what they seemed. He wondered though how they would make this work and by this, he meant more than them.
It wasn't a matter of her moving in for better parenting, or even creating a bedroom for their son. They would work together to make their son's life as wonderful as possible. There was no doubt in either of their minds on that issue. Rather, it was a matter of how a Grimm and a Hexenbiest could exist as parents and a couple as well as allies outside of this home.
Here, inside they were safe. They could live a life of fantasy, but that was just what it was, a dream. And it would remain a dream unless changes were made on the outside. Was this above his pay grade? Certainly. Was it something he should stay out of? Probably. Was he going to let this dream go? Not a fat chance in hell. He wanted to have his cake and eat it too.
He delicately traced the curvature of her body with his fingers careful not to wake her. It calmed him. Eased his tensions. Even the slightest of touches satisfied a need of his. He had this longing for her even though he already satiated that desire earlier. This was something else. This was a different kind of affection, one he hadn't felt since Juliette. It was a search for comfort.
"You can hold me, you know," Adalind sheepishly said. His fingers flinched at her words. She was awake and that startled him. She was so utterly still that he was certain she was asleep, but he was wrong.
"I didn't mean to wake you," Nick responded.
"You have to be asleep to be woken."
"Why aren't you asleep?"
"My mind won't stop thinking…about us."
His heart dropped for a second. Was she having doubts about them now? Did she want to return to the way things were before? Was she afraid of their future? Sure it was possible she thought the same thing as him and had the same fears as him, but that was the funny thing about fear. It always outweighed the positive probabilities. It was entirely probable that she was envisioning a happy future. It was entirely probable she was just taking in the moment.
She turned around to face him. Again, he was rendered shocked. Her beauty, would he ever get used to it? "Your silence speaks volumes. You're afraid, but of what?"
Adalind never ceased to amaze him. He wondered if it was her motherly instinct or her Hexenbiest one that gave her such insight. Perhaps it was both, either way it was all her. She knew.
"How did you know?"
"We are connected. So tell me," she said as she placed her hand on his face. He liked the sensation of her hand on his cheek. He needed this reassurance. He wanted to ask her what she meant by them being connected, but instead he chose to focus on what she wanted to know.
"I don't know where we go from here and what will happen if we leave this place."
"This place? You mean here?" He nodded. "A very valid fear. I would be lying if I said it hadn't crossed my mind more than once, but then I think about how much our worlds have changed and for the better. Sure, it hasn't been a piece of cake. People do not take kindly to change in general, but more in our world. And of course there will be objections in the future, but we are in this together…are we not? Think of how far we've come. We were sworn enemies. We fought with the intent to kill one another. Somehow, we became friends and now…"
"And now?"
"We're together. I know you would do anything to protect our family whether we are in here or out there. The fight just might be harder to win outside, but it isn't impossible. I used to think that Grimms' were the enemy. I used to think I was impervious to death as long as I could use my special set of skills. I used to think I was alone, but I was wrong and I'm glad for that change of mind. Not all change is bad and I learned that from you. And if you need further proof, think about Rosalee and Monroe. They would've never found each other had it not been for you. The thought wouldn't have even crossed their minds."
He brought her close in order to hug her. Her swollen belly bumped ever so slightly into him. This was what he needed to hear. This was what he needed to feel. This was where he needed to be. He did the right thing by choosing to move forward with her. This was bigger than them he realized. This was about creating more than just a friendly environment for his son to grow up in. This was about changing communities on a world wide scale. He already sparked a change here in Portland, but he needed it to spread. And he knew what he needed for this thought to be infectious.
He needed to find Diana.
