Grimm has a mother who is a Grimm and had an aunt (who was his mother's sister, also a Grimm).  We know that Kelly Burkhardt and her husband were married an living together at the time of the supposed accident - 1994, when Nick was about 11 or 12 and that he was raised by Marie. We know Marie and Kelly were with their father when he started getting old/sick. These all indicate that Grimms are capable of some long term relationships.

I don't think we know if Grimms can only have long term relationships with other Grimms. If so, perhaps that's why Aunt Marie thinks Juliette isn't right for him. I don't know if Nick's dad, Reed Burkhardt was a Grimm or a Wesen. I have a vague recollection that he wasn't. Plus, he's not listed as one of the known Grimms in this wikia. [Although that still leaves the possibility that Reed was some other sort of peaceful Wesen, but that's doubtful.] If Reed was jsut a normal person, like Hank & Wu, then it's still a mystery why Aunt Marie thought Juliette wasn't right for Nick. Perhaps as you point out, maybe she knows something we, and Hank, don't know.

Did Reed know his wife was a Grimm? How did Aunt Marie keep Nick from knowing she was a Grimm all that time Nick was living with her? Maybe she knows how hard it can be to keep being a Grimm a secret and thought he shouldn't marry, just like she never did.

If Reed wasn't a Grimm, then it would seem that you only need one Grimm parent, male (Marie & Kelly's dad) or female (Kelly) to have a child who is a Grimm. Are all of the children of Grimms, Grimms, or only some? Perhaps that's why Aunt Marie kept from Nick the fact that she was a Grimm and the fact that he also might be. Perhaps there's no way to tell until that point where your Grimmy powers become manifest. [Also, maybe until your powers manifest you are less likely to be targetted for assassination by Wesen.] On the other hand, the fathers [sexist? no Wesen mothers] at the campsite know their sons will Woge. Have they always known or does it only become evident at puberty? It would seem very awkward and difficult for Wesen to have non-Wesen children.

And of course, this all leads to the ultimate most interesting question of all, what will Adalind's 2nd baby be? We're not quite sure what Adalind's first baby, Diana, is as Adalind seems astonished by the things the baby can do. If Adalind was cold in the cabin, why didn't she start the fire in the fireplace? Was she just exhausted, or does her baby possess powers beyond hers? Of course, Adalind may not know what a baby Hexenbiest can do, only what she remembers from her childhood and she may not have memories that go back that far. Was Adalind's father a Wizard/Warlock (the male equivalent of a Hexenbiest) or was he human? If Adalind's father was human that may explain why Diana is more powerful as she is the child of 2 hexenbiest types.

What will the product of a Hexnbiest and a Grimm be? There are too many unknowns and thus we would need a lot of speculation. When we know the answer, we will know what any children that Juliette & Nick would have might be, if they ever got back together.

[As a side note, if Rosalee and Monroe ever have babies, what will they be? This may be one of the reasons why Wesen disapprove of inter-species (?) marriages. The questions go beyond what religion will you teach the kids.]
