Hello everyone, I'm sorry It's taken me so longer to get this chapter up, but I had to take a break from it as it was starting to do my head in a little. Editing this story is very time-intensive and takes a lot of work. I have been busy with Life and helping my sister, Marlia write her own original story. You can read the story over on FanFiction Press.

"Yes, darling that does look like me," Adalind replied as she gently picked up the clearly very old book, a little afraid it was going to turn into dust if she wasn't careful with it, the book was so interesting and gave her insight to how Grimm's saw Wesen. The stories that went along with some of the entries were really interesting. Adalind wanted nothing more than to sit down and read through the book but knew she couldn't. At least not yet.

"Where are you going to keep that thing? It's incredibly powerful, it would be disastrous if it ended up in the wrong hands," Monroe asked looking between the staff and the repaired trailer, everything inside had nearly been completely destroyed thanks to Juliette, she had destroyed a great deal of Nick's history, it was marical they had ben able to get all of it back. Some of the books that had been damaged before the fire had been restored.

"The best place to keep it would be here. Adalind do you know of a spell or spells that prevents someone with dishonest intentions from getting into the trailer?" Nick asked as he put the Staff in the Weapons Cabinet and walked outside. He didn't want to have to feel the overwhelming panic and terror he had felt when he had had found the trailer on fire. He had wanted to kill Juliette when he found out she was responsible.

She had the one thing he could never forgive.

"Not that I know of, but I'm sure we could come up with something," Adalind answered, trying to think of any spells that could do the thing of thing Nick was asking, there were spells to prevent things from being destroyed or stolen but they would have to be put on every single item in the trailer and that take forever as the trailer held a lot of things.

"I could do it. If you want," Diana offered shyly, he trailer was amazing and had so much interesting stuff in it, she hadn't understood why anyone would want to burn it. She could tell the trailer had, at one time been protected by a very strong spell, but over time it had weakened as it hadn't been renewed, it wouldn't take much to restore the old spell and add the new one.

"If you're sure you can do it without too much trouble," Nick answered, wondering what the young girl was going to do to protect the trailer, he watched in fascination as Diana's eyes glowed neon purple as she looked around the trailer before shaking her head and walking outside, they quickly followed her wondering what she was going to do.

Diana stared at the trailer, trying to find the anchor point for the spell and smiled when she saw the faded design on the door, she closed I with her powers before tracing the symbols, circles and the 'G' in the middle, happy when they glowed neon purple, lines spread out from the 'G' and around the trailer like a web, once she was sure the old spell had been restored before going onto the next step.

Diana gently pulled Kelly from his bassinet and place his hand on the door in the middle of the 'G' more than a little surprised when the door glowed forest green, she put Kelly back in his bassinet before placing her own hand on the door then repeated the process with Sean, Adalind, Trubel, Rosalee, Wu, Hank, Monroe and finally Nick. He jerked at he burning sensation when his hand touched the 'G' embossed on the door.

Nick could feel something being drawn rom within him as the spell and the staff reacted to his touch, he closed his eyes and focused on his need to protect and hide everything in the trailer from prying eyes and to stop anything inside from being damaged again. Monroe shared a look with Trubel as a greyish silver shockwave spread from Nick's hand and wrapped around the trailer.

Nick turned to look at Diana, wondering what his soon-to-be step-daughter had done.

"What did you do?" Wu asked more than a little curious as to what Diana had done to the trailer and what the colours had meant when Kelly, Trubel and Nick had touched the door. Nick closed his eyes and leaned against Monroe, far more tired then he thought he would be. Diana tilted her head trying to think of the best way to explain what she had done.

"In order to access the information in the trailer you need to touch the 'G' on the door to prove who you are, we're the only ones who know about the existence of the trailer, if anyone else does know about it, it's been removed from their memory. If someone found the trailer, all they would see is a rundown and abandoned trailer and pay it no mind," Diana explained, unsure if she explaining it correctly, but figured she had gotten the point across.

The Next Day

The Loft was bare but functional for now. Things would need to be added or change if they were going to be living there. Nick knew the best person to ask about finding someone to make The Loft liveable, for a reasonable amount of money. It was one of the times Nick was more than glad Eisbeber were more than happy to help him.

"I'm going over to talk to Bud," Nick mentioned to Adalind as he drew a rough sketch of The Loft, hopefully Bud would know who to ask, Adalind paused, she was about to start making lunch and couldn't help but wonder why Nick would want to go over to Bud's place, she would be eternally greatful to Bud for helping her when Juliette was trying to kill her.

"Why?" Adalind asked more than a little curious about what Nick was planning as she had seen him drawing up a rough sketch of The Loft, it was incredibly detailed for just being a rough sketch. Adalind had always been surprised by how good Nick was at drawing, the fact he had an eidetic memory and was able to draw something after only seeing it for a few seconds.

"I was going to ask Bud if he knew anyone who could make this place liveable," Nick answered collecting the sketches he had made, Adalind looked around The Loft, it was bare, but servable, she had always thought The Loft was a temporary place not where they would be living permentaly, but she could see this being their perminate home. Eventually.

"Do you mind if I come?" Adalind asked, she knew Bud would want to meet his daughter and son. It was hard to believe she had gotten her daughter and had a son with Portland's Grimm who she had found was very protective of their son. He had managed to Diana to listen to him which was incredibly hard as someone had made Diana believe she could do whatever she wanted without any consequences.

Adalind knew her and Sean spoiled Diana, they couldn't help it, she was their baby girl, they hadn't gotten the chance to see her grow up. Nick however didn't let her get way with anything, particularly so after they had defeated Zerstorer. Something had happened to make Diana at least a little scared of Nick and Adalind knew without a shadow of a doubt Diana had gotten a glimpse of The Grimm.

"Not at all. I'll call Bud and ask him if he mind having us over," Nick replied digging his phone out of his pocket to call Bud and ask him if he could come over with Adalind, Diana and Kelly. He knew the Eisbeber was more than happy to have them over. He sent a quick text to Monroe to work out a day they could train as Monroe and Rosalee were busy with the Triplet's.

"Hey Bud, are you busy?" Nick asked after he had worked out a day he could meet Monroe for training, the Eisbeber had changed a great deal since Nick had first met him, he was no longer as timid and was able to stand up for himself. Nick hadn't realized just how much Bud had changed until after things had settled down and returned to normal…well their definition of normal.

"No, I'm not. Why is something wrong?" Bud asked in returned wondering what Nick could want, he had heard about the strange power outages and figured it had everything to do with Nick or had happened because of something Nick had done. Bud still couldn't believe he was friends with a Grimm who was actually willing to listen first and shoot later.

It was strange.

His family hadn't believed him when he had told them he had met a Grimm who hadn't killed him on sight just because he was Wesen. Nick, Monroe and Rosalee had been over as they needed to his with storage at the Spice Shop, Bud was certain there was more to their request then what they were tell him, as some of the things there were asking for were very specific.

The sort of things a Grimm would need, which was rather strange though he had heard about the fire in the middle of the forest and got the feeling it had something to do with Nick's trailer, he had seen the thing when he had gone to fix his fridge before he had known Nick was a Grimm. He had completely forgotten his family was supposed to be arriving the same day.

His mother hadn't believed him when she had told him he had met a Grimm, she had told him to leave town with Phoebe and his three children. He hadn't listened of course, more than happy to stay in Portland, he knew Nick would never hurt any of them as he wasn't that kind of Grimm. The encounter with his family had gone just about as well as could be expected.

About the same way things had gone when Monroe's parents had met Nick except Bud's parents and two siblings had run way and hid in Bud's bedroom until Monroe, Rosalee and Nick had left. Bud had not been impressed. Nick, Monroe and Rosalee were more annoyed then anything else. Bud was yet again reminded just how cowardly Eisbeber were.

"Would it be alright if I come over with Adalind, Diana and Kelly?" Nick asked hoping it would be alright, the Eisbeber was ery generous and was usually more than happy to have them over. He loved nothing more than to have people over, Phoebe had been rather nervous when she had first met Nick, but she had soon relaxed after realizing Nick wasn't going to hurt her.

"Of course, you can. I'm sure Phoebe would love to have someone to talk to," Bud replied more than happy to have to them over for lunch. Nick told Bud they would be there at 12:30 if nothing come up and he didn't have a crime scene to go to even though he was having a few days off. Nick blinked when he realised it was 12:15 pm. They had to be at Bud's house in 15 minutes.

Diana was more than a little nervous when she knocked on the door and was greeted by a large man with dirty blonde hair and bright blue eyes, he grinned when he saw them and invited them inside. Diana stared at him wondering where she had seen him, she felt like she should know who the Eisbeber was but couldn't place where she had seen him before.

"Hello Nick, Adalind, how have you been?" Bud asked leading them into the living them, Nick hugged Phoebe who looked quite good despite her age and the fact she had three children, Nick thought it might have something to do with her being an Eisbeber, but he wasn't about to ask. Adalind smiled and hugged Phoebe, they had only met briefly the last time she had been there as her and Bud's three children had gone to stay with a friend.

"Hello Phoebe, where are the three misfits?" Nick questioned looking around cautiously for Bud's three children, he loved them to bits, but they ended to tackle him whenever he come to visit. Phoebe laughed clearly knowing what Nick was thinking of, finding it rather amusing Nick was scared of her three children. It always amused her. Before she could say anything three sets of footsteps come running down the stairs, Nick handed Kelly to Adalind and got ready for the impact.

"UNCLE NICK!" Matty, Jack and Alex yelled, slamming into Nick, Adalind expected him to loose his balance but he somehow managed to stay standing clearly quite used to this sort of greeting from the three young Eisbeber, Diana stared at the three children wondering how they could so fearless around a Grimm, he could very easily kill them if he wanted to.

"Hello to you to. Have you three been behaving?" Nick asked letting a little of his Grimm surface, Matty and Jack immediately looked down, clearly having done something wrong, Alex clearly wasn't effected by it quiet yet. Phoebe and Bud stood back visibly not bothered by Nick being there which Adalind honestly found quite strange, they seemed very comfortable around Nick.

"We may have broken something of Mommy's. It was an accident, we didn't mean to, honest," Matty and Jack answered staring up at Nick with the Puppy Eyes. Nick stared at them sternly before looking at Phoebe who nodded ever so slightly, indicating she knew about the thing they had broken. Nick had to stop himself from laughing. Did the boys seriously think they could hide something like that from their mother.

"Go and get it and I'll see what I can do," Nick answered watching them run off more than a little amused, Phoebe shook her head and couldn't help but laugh, this evidently wasn't the first time something like this had happened and something Phoebe and Bud were used to as Matty and Jack come running back with the broken items.

Nick stared down at the watch Matty gave him, it was quite old and clearly very well loved, he looked up at Phoebe and knew it held some sort of sentimental value as she looked rather sad as he looked down at it, he turned it over. It was something Monroe could easily fix. He smiled and slipped the watch into his pocket. He would ask Monroe the next him he saw him.

"I'll ask the Watch Maker if he can fix it. It shouldn't take more than a few days," Nick answered, Phoebe smiled at him brightly clearly knowing who Nick was talking about, Alex smiled happily, she turned around to walk over to her mother only to see Diana staring at her. She ran over to Nick and hid behind his leg and peeking out at Diana. Nick sighed and picked the two-nearly-three-year-old up and hugged her.

"There's nothing to be scared of Lexie, this is my step-daughter Diana. The little boy is my son Kelly," Nick introduced, gently taking Kelly from Adalind, Nick watched more than a little amused as Alex reached out and gently touched Kelly's hand, laughing when the two-year-old wrapped his hand around one of Alex's fingers and grinned. Nick smiled and looked up just as Phoebe took a picture.

"I'm a Princess, Mommy's a Hexenbiest, Nick's a Grimm and Daddy's the Prince soon to be King," Diana stated as though it was completely obvious, Alex looked down at Diana with a look that clearly said "yes, we know, you don't have to tell us" before she looked at Kelly and shook her head. Nick glared at Diana, letting the Grimm completely come to the surface as he stared down at his four-year-old step daughter.

His posture changed, he somehow looked intimidating even though he was holding two children, Diana realised she should have kept her mouth shut and not said anything, Nick clearly wasn't happy with her about something. Adalind watched in muted shock as Jack and Matty moved behind Nick's legs instead of going over to their parents like she thought they would.

Phoebe and Bud didn't seem at all alarmed.

"Diana, your incredibly lucky Bud and Phoebe already know I'm a Grimm. If you had blurted that to anyone who didn't already know and you could get yourself or someone else hurt. Wesen are scared of Grimm's as they ae the 'monsters under the bed' in the Wesen world," Nick snapped, Adalind stared at Nick, she didn't know he was reacting like this.

It wasn't that big of a deal was it?

"Diana, we both trust Nick a great deal and know he would never hurt us, but there are some Wesen who don't know Nick and would react violently. The Watch Maker has been hurt in the past because of his friendship with Nick, someone could hurt you if they thought they could get to Nick or your father," Bud stated crouching in front of Diana tyring to make her understand how serious this was.

She couldn't just blurt out.

"No one can get to me, I'm special because I'm a Princess," Diana stated crossing her arms and glaring at Bud, her eyes glowing purple and was more than a little confused when Bud stood up, looking rather unimpressed clearly not at all scared by Diana's little show. She was used to people being scared of her and doing exactly what she wanted, the men who had been looking after her for the last three years had done what she wanted when her eyes turned purple.

"I think you should ask the Watch Maker if he can come over. I don't think she understands what king of trouble she could get herself in if she keeps this up. Diana they'll be after you even more if they found out you're the daughter of the Princess and a Princess, " Phoebe mentioned, Nick nodded, he had a feeling he was going to have some problems.

Phoebe gasped when she saw incredibly sharp knives floating towards Nick and Alex whose head was resting on Nick's shoulder and saw knives floating towards them. They were the sharp knives they weren't meant to touch unless their parents were around as they were very sharp. Nick turned when he heard Phoebe gasp and Alex tense. He closed his eyes and sighed when he saw the knives and glared at Diana.

He knew he was going to have problems with Diana, she believed she could get away with anything just because she was a Princess and the Mayor's daughter and was incredibly powerful and was clearly used to people being scared of her when she got upset or wanted something. Diana was going to have to learn that she couldn't get whatever she waned. He was going to talk with Sean about her behaviour.

It wouldn't be good if Diana believed she could do absolutely anything. It was a recipe for disaster, she could become dangerous and get herself into a lot of trouble if things kept continued like this. Adalind turned and paled when she saw the knives floating towards Nick, Kelly and Alex. The look Nick was giving Diana could have frozen lava.

"Darling what have I told you about levitating sharp objects?" Adalind questioned, kneeling in front of Diana, she knew she needed to be sterner but just couldn't. Diana was her baby, she couldn't discipline her in anyway, usually leaving it to Nick which she knew wasn't fair. Adalind knew Diana was a little out of control but she didn't think it was that bad.

"Only levitate sharp objects in self-defence or during practise and never levitate Kelly," Diana answered glaring at her mother as the knives settle themselves back in the draw not understanding why no one was scared of her, she had never gotten into trouble for doing that before so why was it starting now. Matty and Jack were staring at her with wide scared eyes.

Nick didn't look happy. He took his phone from Alex who pulled it from his pocket and called Monroe, they had to get Diana to understand just how dangerous it could be if someone found she was living with a Grimm, Diana needed to learn she wasn't always going to get her way and there would be serious consequences if she did end up hurting someone.

"Hey, Nick what can I do for you?" Monroe asked, he sounded more than a little tired and very worn, it must have ben tough having three children, he was going to offer to babysit them over the weekend to give Monroe and Roselee a bit of a break as they could very much use it as Nick they were taking turns sleeping.

"Can you come to Bud's?" Nick asked unable to get his Grimm side of settle down. He heard Monroe gasp a little, the nice still had some effect on him but not as much as before, he had hoped he wasn't calling Monroe at a bad time and hoped Roselee wouldn't mind if Monroe left for a little while. Phoebe tilted her head a little clearly hearing or sensing something.

"Of course. I hope Phoebe and Bud won't mind if Rosalee brings Fred, Felix and Mairead?" Monroe asked, Phoebe nodded, she was more than happy if Roselee come over with her children. Nick had been surprised to find out Eisbeber's had rather good hearing and were more than able to hear what was being said on the other end of the phone.

"Of course, you and Rosalee and become the Triplet's. I'll look after them for a few hours. You and Rosalee need a break," Phoebe stated taking the phone from Nick, Monroe told her they would be there in ten minutes. Phoebe ended the call and gave Nick his phone back. Nick didn't think of it as he slipped his phone back into his pocket and went to down on the couch.

"How are you going to raise Kelly? Do you think he'll be a Grimm or a Zauberbiest or possibly both?" Phoebe questioned, Nick looked down at his son, he wasn't sure what he was going to be, but he knew Kelly was special, that was for sure. A Grimm had never married a Hexenbiest/Zauberbiest before, so he had no idea what to expect.

"I have no idea. Kelly's the first child of Grimm and Hexenbiest that I'm aware of. He might show some of the abilities of a Zauberbiest, I have no idea. I would have to ask Sean," Nick answered, lifting his arm and letting Alex, Matty and Jack snuggle against him, clearly still scared of Diana, he could feel the fear pouring off the three children.

He didn't think he would ever get used to the three Eisbeber feeling safer with him rather than their parents, Diana glared at Nick and Kelly, he was taking up all her mother's time, she would just make her mother forget about Kelly if she had to. Diana flinched when she saw the look on Nick's face, he clearly wasn't happy about her stunt with the knives.

Bud stared at Nick, trying to judge if it would be alright to get closer to him, he had a feeling he knew why Nick was here, he was surprised it had taken Nick this long to ask him, though then again he had been rather busy lately so likely hadn't gotten the time with everything going on. Nick was trying to calm down but found he couldn't. He didn't think he would be able to settle down until Monroe got here.

He had no idea why being around the Blutbard calmed him down and made him feel safe. Before anyone could say anything Monroe arrived with Roselee, Fred, Felix and Mairead. They looked absolutely exhausted, Phoebe took Fred and Mairead from Roselee and lead the two of them upstairs, so they could put the Triplets down for a nap and too fill Rosalee in on what had happened.

"Diana, I've known Nick for a little over six years and have helped him with several cases. There were some people who weren't all that happy with me helping him and because f that I have been beaten up on more than one occasion either to discourage me from helping him or to send a message to Nick," Monroe stated staring at Diana, his eyes turning red.

Those 'reminders' and 'warnings' had been more than a little painful. Roselee only knew of two of the times Monroe had been beaten up. There had been plenty of Wesen who weren't happy with him working for a Grimm, they thought he was Nick's pet, which was more than a little insulting. They had learnt very quickly nick didn't apricate them hurting his friends.

Portland's Wesen Community knew Nick was a kind and caring Grimm who would be more than willing to listen first and kill later. He was a cop first and a Grimm second, Nick had been pushed too far a few times and the Grimm had come out, it wasn't pretty, the Wesen who had attacked Monroe had learnt the hard way wha happened when they had an angery Grimm after them.

"There are plenty of Wesen Nick's put in jail who would love nothing more than to kill him or hurt him in some way, one such way is 'teaching him a lesson' by hurting those he cares about. You can't tell people Nick's a Grimm, sure some Wesen in Portland know who Nick is but there are some who would react violently as his ancestors have, in the past, been known to kill every Wesen no matter who they were," Monroe continued hoping he was getting through to Diana.

He knew it was going to take a lot of work to get Diana to understand she couldn't get whatever she wanted, letting her to continue thinking that could potentially create something very dangerous. Diana stared at Monroe before shrugging, she didn't care. Monroe sighed and knew they were going to have to let Diana learn just how dangerous it could be on her own. She wouldn't learn otherwise.

"Nick, what did you want to talk to me about?" Bud asked after Diana, Adalind, Rosalee and Phoebe had gone upstairs, Nick immediately relaxed as soon as Diana was out of the room, Monroe and Bud stared a look, they couldn't imagine how hard it would be for him to be around Diana. She was out of control, something was going to have to change sooner or later.

"I was wondering if you know anyone in town who could refurbish the Loft and it more…liveable," Nick answered, trying not to fidget or bite his nails as he waited for Bud's response. He hoped the Eisbeber would be able to help him as he really didn't want to have to look for somewhere else for them to live, he had moved around enough as a child, even more so as an adult. He really want to leave again.

Bud opened his mouth to answer.

"Who do we need to intimidate again?" Nick asked Adalind after he had left Bug with the job of finding people to make the Loft a more liveable place. He had never much like Bonaparte nor his friend at the law firm Adalind worked at so was more than willing to help his soon-to-be wife intimidate someone for the money they needed to make the Loft liveable.

"Hey, Trubel, are you up for intimidating a Wesen lawyer. As much as I don't want to, can you ask Eve if she's willing to help, she had remarkable success when interrogating uncooperative Wesen. Would you be able to check if you have anything on him," Nick asked, he didn't really want to ask Eve for any help given everything she had done to him.

"Of course I'll help. I'm assuming your talking about Harrison Berman, we have some information about him, do you think Sean would mind if I borrowed Wu for a few hours. Josh asked me out three weeks ago," Trubel answered, Nick had to stop himself from laughing, he wondered what had taken Josh so long, it was clear he was enamoured with Trubel.

"Took him long enough. Call Sean and ask but I don't think he would mind as long as Wu still able to work for the Precinct," Nick replied before shaking his head and hanging up, it was going to be interesting too say the least. Nick was sure Josh would end up being a Grimm, it was just going to take him longer to emerge. Trubel had come into her powers early thanks to Oleg Stark killing her foster parents.

Josh likely wouldn't come into his powers for a few years, it gave him more than a enough time to get used to the idea and help Trubel. Nick knew even though Trubel had been working for HW she had been spending a lot of time with Josh. He was surprised it had taken the younger man so long to ask his third-cousin out. Nick was pulled from his thoughts when his phone rang, he was a little surprised to see Wu was calling him.

"Hello Nick, Trubel called me and asked if I could get information on a certain lawyer, mind explaining?"

There done. Some of you will likely notice I've changed the time line a little, Nick hasn't yet asked Adalind to marry her and Josh hasn't asked Trubel to marry her, in this story they have only been dating for around 3 months. Nick is going to propose to Adalind. I've changed Diana characterization in this a little.

Again, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get this chapter written and posted. I will try to get chapter 3 up before the end of next month though I can't make any promises.
