"Hey, it's going to be okay, alright? Just hang in there." Nick said calmly, trying to soothe the pregnant Hexenbiest in bed, which surprisingly seemed to be working as the pain appeared to have died down. "Look, I'm going to find some firewood. We've got to get some heat going."

They had been fortunate thus far, first having found this place after traveling god knows how long. Then there was the fact that they hadn't been caught. It had been close but then they found this surprisingly nice cabin. Good thing too, because Adalind's pain was becoming more frequent

Nick was admittedly worried about Adalind, because although he didn't know much about pregnancy he was sure it wasn't usually this painful so early on. Granted he wasn't sure how far along she was, but she didn't look no nine months along. Either way they were all each other had, and he felt it was his obligation to make sure she was okay.

Of course, the irony wasn't lost on him. A Grimm protecting the Hexenbiest who ruined his life, albeit not on purpose but still. Nonetheless, even if he didn't have some growing feelings for Adalind, the child was innocent at the least.

"Please don't leave me here alone," Adalind pled as she reached an arm out to stop him. "What if you get found? Or me? All of this will be for nothing."

He sighed and reached down with his free hand to brush the hand holding his. "Nothing is going to happen, I'll just be gone a few minutes. You trust me, don't you?"

"I trust you." Trust wasn't usually a common thing, especially Hexenbiests, she herself wasn't necessarily the most trustworthy person. However, she cared about Nick and admittedly trusted him with her life. She hesitantly pulled her hand away. "Okay, as long it's only a few minutes…"

Unfortunately while Nick was out the pain returned full force. In fact it was more than that, despite the fact that she was only six months pregnant she could feel the baby pushing. She couldn't hold back a loud scream, calling out Nick's name in the hope that he was close enough to hear her.

Low and behold Nick was on his way when he heard her scream. Panic set in as the Grimm immediately dropped the firewood and rushed right inside. He had been there when Rosalee helped the pregnant Glühenvolk, so the moment he saw Adalind he recognized what was going on.

"Nick, the baby is coming." She managed to say as she wailed, her hand reaching out to tightly grip his. "Oh god the baby is coming!"

Nick took a deep breath to calm himself down before getting himself in proper position. This wasn't going to be easy, given that he had no experience other than observing..

"Listen to me, I need to take a few deep breaths okay?" As much as he wanted to keep his hand where it was, he had to pull it out of her tight hold. "When I tell you to push, push and remember deep breaths."

"Easy for you're not the one having the baby!" She hollered as she instinctively pushed, but did her best to follow his instructions. Fortunately the deep breathing was counteracting with the pain.

"Okay, on the count of three I want you to push, alright? Three, two" Nick braced himself and propped her legs up. "One. Push."

The Hexenbiest pushed as hard as she could, the lights began to flicker and things started to fly around the room. A book that had been close by actually managed to hit Nick in the head.

Nonetheless, the baby had at least moved, but that didn't stop the Grimm from being completely shocked. He was pretty sure that it wasn't Adalind doing that, but it couldn't be the baby, right?

"I know it's not pleasant, but I you need to stay calm. Try not to go crazy with the powers." He wiped his forehead, briefly caught off guard when he didn't feel any sweat but he just brushed it off. "Push, I can see baby!"

This process kept going until the baby was finally out and they could relax. The baby, a girl, in his arms was crying as he slowly wrapped a blanket around her. Honestly, he couldn't help but smile down at her. She was a pain to get out but she was so adorable, even considering what both her parents were. He slowly handed over to the exhausted Hexenbiest.

"Well that was interesting, a Grimm helping a Hexenbiest give birth… Guess I can check that off my bucket list." Nick joked as he took a seat on the side of the bed, "I'll let you two get acquainted, best get that firewood before it gets too cold for the baby. It's a girl, in case you were wondering, by the way."

As Nick left Adalind smiled down at her daughter. Regardless of how soon it had been, she was here and seemingly in perfect health for newborn. Seeing her now made her somehow feel different, like the Adalind that existed before she was pregnant wasn't the same as she was now. But it was a good feeling. Made all the more better knowing that Nick was here with her.

Yes, her daughter was Sean's but she admittedly used him to get pregnant and make a deal. Which in retrospect was both the worst decision and one of the best, yet she regretted it. Really, she would have preferred a different choice of father...

She wasn't joking when she said she admired him, in fact, it was a little more than that. Honestly, she had feelings for him, arguable stronger than what she'd ever really had with Sean, but she had no idea if they were mutual. Certainly wouldn't be surprised if they weren't but part of her held on to that hope.

For now she would enjoy this, just having the three of them, until they had to move.

Sorry for the shorter chapter!
