Author's note: I have yet to watch this new season of Grimm…I'm just so salty about it getting cancelled that I can't. Have any of you guys watched it? What do you think?

Again, sorry for the delay. I've just been so busy that I forgot to actually press publish…DON'T KILL ME!

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 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 POV)

He woke up to the piercing cry of a Hexenbiest. He instinctively went to cover his ears, but made sure to that the ringing inside his head didn't get in the way of finding the source. The cop in him was trained for moments like this, but the Grimm in him was prepared for anything and yet nothing could've prepared him for the sight before him. He was shocked to find out that the cry was coming from none other than Adalind. She was a Hexenbiest once again. And his Hexenbiest was on the floor crying out in pain.

"Adalind!" He yelled. He jumped out of bed and went to her side. "What's wrong? Ahh." The cry was too much for his ears to handle. She sounded like a banshee, but he fought it. "Is it the baby?" She was writhing in pain on the floor cradling her stomach. It was the only conclusion he could arrive. It had to be their child. Maybe their child was more like her than him.

"Diana," she screamed. "Black Claw has her. We have to get her." She was shaking uncontrollably.

"We will, but you have to calm down. Is our baby okay?"

"Yes, he's fine, but Diana!"

"Okay that's good. Now I want you to breathe Adalind. Just breathe in and out." Soon enough, the face he used to resent eased back into the one he grew to adore. "Are you okay?"

"I don't know what happened. I was dreaming about Diana, but it didn't feel like a dream. She was really talking to me Nick, I swear she was. She told me to 'follow the marks. Follow the marks of the claws.' Why would she say that? I woke up like this and let me tell you, I look nothing like Beyoncé."

"Even if dire situations like this, you still manage to make me smile."

"You're not… you're not afraid of me again, are you?" She looked at him with those beautiful doe eyes of her and his heart sank. She thought he was afraid of her.

He took a moment before he answered her, which was probably not the smartest thing to do. The longer he waited, the more insecure she would become, but to be fair, he couldn't believe she thought he would be afraid of her. She actually thought that he would come to despise her if she was a Hexenbiest again. He wasn't upset at her in the slightest for thinking that. The things he had said and done didn't help one bit. He was the reason she felt this way. If she could accept him as a Grimm, her mortal enemy, then he could do the same, but more vocally.

"Adalind, I'm not afraid of you. I'm afraid for you. I don't understand what is happening to you and I'm concerned for our son, but not afraid of you. What you are is beautiful. What you can do is amazing. I was too blind to see that before. I hope you can forgive me. I never want you to think that. Can you sit up?"

"Yes." She sat up and he held her. He held a crying Adalind. "I know you've said this to me, but I didn't have to worry before because I wasn't a Hexenbiest, but I am one again now and what if our son is like me?"

"Then he's like you. There's nothing wrong with him being like you, but to be safe I'm going to call Monroe and Rosalee to see if they know what is happening to you. Is that okay?"

"Of course."

(Adalind POV)

Diana was behind this. She knew Diana was the reason her Hexenbiest side came back with a vengeance. She didn't know how she did it, but Adalind knew it was her doing somehow. Her daughter had changed, but she wasn't sure if it was for the better or worse. She had grown so incredibly much. How powerful had Diana become in her absence? That was no ordinary dream either. Diana did that. Adalind was both impressed and scared, but also sad as well that she wasn't there for her daughter.

She couldn't go there. She couldn't entertain these thoughts of negativity. It would do more harm than good. She had bigger things to focus on like why she was a Hexenbiest once again.

Sure, she felt the magical tug here and there, but she thought it was dormant. And it wasn't like she could ask anyone from her past. She wasn't that being anymore. She had evolved and no doubt they all had ill intentions when it came to Diana. She could only imagine what they would do if they found out she was carrying a Grimm. She doubted Rosalee and Monroe could be of much help either, but they had surprised her in the past. They knew more than she thought especially Rosalee. That foxy little minx. She was a clever one.

"What did they say?" She asked Nick who had been on the phone with them.

"They weren't too happy about a receiving a call from me in the middle of the night even though they're pretty used to it at this point, but other than that, they aren't sure what we are dealing with. Rosalee thinks it's possible Diana had something to do with it, which Monroe then added it could be our son too. Both did agree that Diana was in fact in your dream and your Hexenbiest return came from you. Something triggered you," he answered. "Perhaps Diana's presence alone was enough for you to be yourself again." He gently rubbed her cheek and it was in that same, but delicate gesture that made her warm inside. He knew that some part of her wasn't the same without her Hexenbiest side. He surely wasn't when she took away his Grimm side in the first place.

"Well, a mother's love is unlike anything." She started to get all teary eyed. "I don't even know why I am crying. This is stupid."

"Hey now. Don't do that to yourself. Diana is an important part of this family even if I'm not genetically her father. You have every right to be upset that she isn't here with you…us. I will get her back. That, I promise you." He knew what to say and that surprised her a bit since he wasn't one for words, not that she was complaining.

"What do you think she meant by the claws?"

"I wasn't going to tell you this because I didn't want to put any strain on you or the baby, but there's a group of Wesen called the Black Claw who are keen on living in a world where they don't have to hide what they are. They do not care who care who gets in their way, Wesen or not. They've been leaving a mark behind after every attack."

"Do you think they have Diana?"

"It's more than likely they do. I can't figure out what other connection they would have unless you have any ideas."

"I don't. I wish I could be of more help." He kissed her head.

"You are more than you know. Let's go back to sleep. Tomorrow, I'll ask Renard about it and see what he knows."

"Nick, be careful. I'm not sure Sean is someone who can be trusted. While Diana may be his daughter, his interests lie elsewhere."

And that was the difference between the two men. One would sacrifice himself for the greater good while the other would sacrifice others for his own good. She knew this better than anyone.
