Two years after Finding a Home. So this is volume 2 welcome everybody who decided to come back! I hope you enjoy this next adventure with the gang and Terra.
Renard's POV
I groaned as a small body jumped onto my shoulder.
"GET UP DADDY!" my two year old daughter jumped on my shoulder again.
"I don't want to get up," I pulled my pillow over my head and smiled.
"Mommy made pancakes!"
"But mommy's pancakes are yucky," I said and she giggled and ran off. "Don't tell mommy I said that!" I sat up in bed.
"He said what?" I groaned and dropped my head back on the pillow. Adalind came into my room with an unamused look on her face.
"Did you tell our daughter my pancakes were yucky?"
"I'm being framed," my little girl peeked her head around the corner with my grin on her face. Adalind looked down at our daughter.
"Were you just lying to mommy?" she asked. She shook her head with her blond curls waving around her head.
"Traitor," she giggled and ran down the hall still giggling. I couldn't help but smile at her.
"Can you take her today? I have a lot of things to do and I can't bring her with me," I sighed.
"Okay but none of my detectives will get any work done today,"
"Thanks,"
Nick's POV
I flipped through a case that I had just closed now I was walking to the Captain's office to drop it off. I opened the door.
"STOP HER!" I dropped down real fast dropping my file and I picked up the small blonde child of my captain. She giggled
"NICKY!" she squealed. She hugged my neck and she totally melted my heart.
"Have you been causing you dad some trouble again?" she shook her head with her curls hitting my face.
"Fibber!" Captain Renard sat on his desk glad for the small moment of rest. I closed the door and put her back on the ground and she went back to her toys in the corner. I picked my file off of the ground and handed it to him.
"Adalind leave her with you again?" he took the file and flipped through it.
"Yeah," he yawned.
"Nightmare again?" I asked him
"Refusal to go to sleep,"
"Terrible twos are always the best,"
"Especially when," he was cut off with a monkey flew between us. We both looked at her and her eyes glowed purple. "That happens,"
"You know if you and Adalind need a night to yourselves you can always leave her with me and Juliette,"
"Two years ago I would have killed you for saying that,"
"That was before we realized you cousin would kill any one just to get his hands on her,"
"And still would,"
Juliette's POV
"And that's the last of it!" I whipped off my hands after I put one the last box.
"Thanks so much for the help," Rosalee smiled and kept her hand on her growing baby belly.
"No problem," I smiled at her. Down stairs we heard Monroe raise his voice a little. "Still fighting with his dad about the pregnancy?" Rosalee rolled her eyes and sat down in the new rocking chair.
"Their fighting about how the baby should be raised," she sounded frustrated. "Either the way Monroe was raised or the way we want to raise our baby," I gave her a sympathetic look. "But at least Bart is glad he's going to be a grandfather,"
"So do you know the gender of the baby yet?" I asked her.
"Monroe said he wants it to be a surprise," she smiled.
"And you?" I asked her.
"It's a boy," she beamed.
"Oh my god," I smiled and hugged her. "Do you have a name picked out yet?" I asked her.
"Adin," Monroe came into the room and groaned.
"Ready to help me with this crib?" I asked him.
"As ready as I could be I guess" he said as he pocketed his phone.
Renard's pov
My little curl curled up on the chair in front of my desk and slept soundly under my suit jacket. I smiled as she said something about unicorns in her sleep. It reminded me of when Terra was staying with me two years ago. I stopped smiling then. I missed Terra and nobody had heard from her in almost two years. It was august of 2016 and Nick hadn't heard from her since this time last year. I sighed and opened my desk drawer. I dug around for a while in the top drawer till I found the folded piece of paper I had been looking for. I unfolded it and I looked at the picture of us on her twenty-first birthday.
"Terra smile!" Rosalee held her phone up at Terra.
"No!" she squeaked and covered her face as the flash went off.
"Come on Terra," Rosalee gave her a disappointed look.
"I hate getting my picture taken!" she told her.
"Just this one?" she asked.
"If it would make you feel better I'll take it with you," I offered. Terra looked at me with a shy look.
"Okay," she mumbled.
"Okay get together you two!" I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and I gave a half smile to the camera. Her arm wrapped around my waist and she gave the camera a shy smile.
I sighed and put the photo down on my desk face up. My secondary phone started ringing in my pocket. I looked at the number and then held it to my ear as I picked it up.
"What is it?" I asked.
"There sending someone to Portland," Meisner's voice sounded concerned on the other end. "The Verrat are sending their best person to kill you, Adalind and to take your child,"
"How do you know this?" I asked Sebastian had been dead for two years so how did they get this information.
"We have a new person on the inside," he told me.
"Do you know who their sending?" I asked.
"An Endezeichen," my blood suddenly ran cold.
"He's going to kill all of us and my cousin isn't going to get my daughter alive!"
"She," he corrected me. "And Prince Viktor is paying her enough that she would live quite comfortably for the rest of her days," I looked at my daughter that was still asleep. "There's one more thing,"
"What is it?"
"She's a black widow and the most dangerous Grimm in the world,"
"Is there anything the Laufer can do?" I asked.
"I'm on a plane right now heading to Sacramento. I also have a college that will meet you a day or two before I do,"
"How do I know who this college is?"
"They'll find you,"
"Thank you have a safe journey," I told him.
"Keep that little one safe," I hung up my phone and looked at my daughter. She hadn't moved from her spot but she was wide awake. I smiled at her trying to tell her everything was alright.
"Ready to go home," she nodded. I picked her up and kept my suit jacket around her. I walked out of my office and locked it. I saw Nick and Hank at the corner of my eye. "Burckhardt! Griffin!" they looked up and I gestured for them to walk with me. They got up as I walked past their desks.
"What is it captain?" Griffin asked.
"The Verrat has sent an Endezeichen after me and my family,"
"Oh my god," Nick was shocked.
"What's an Endezeichen?" Hank asked.
"Their Grimms," Nick told him "but they think all wesen are abominations and hunt them down and kill them even if their peaceful. Men, women, children pets; it doesn't matter to them,"
"I thought your cousin wanted your daughter alive," Hank said.
"He does that's why he's paying her to bring my daughter back alive,"
"Her?" Nick was a little shocked.
"Yes her," I walked we walked out of the building and to my suv. "We at least know that for sure,"
"Are the Laufer going to do anything?" Nick asked.
"They're sending someone I know and trust here along with a college of his," I told them.
"And why are you telling us this?" Hank asked.
"Because both Adalind and know you and trust you with our lives," my little girl grumbled a little as she fell back asleep in my arms. "And our daughter's," I looked from my daughter to them. "If the time came and neither Adalind nor I can save her I want you two to make sure my cousin doesn't get a hand on her,"
"You have our word," Nick told me.
"Good now get back to work both of you still owe me a couple of reports,"
"Yes sir," they walked back inside. I looked at my daughter, who was starting to drool on my shirt in her sleep.
"See daddy has this taken care of," I rubbed her back and she groaned.
I kept trying to a cute daddy daughter thing but I'm not sure if I got it down let me know.
