So the kids only purpose could be to drive the story of Adalind, Nick, and or Sean. True with Diana's rapid aging they could make her old enough to be a character when Season 5 returns. But what about the son do they age both.

All of the comment in the section could only exist once the kids are old enough to do something. Even Diana is shown to be limited.

For a baby to be on the show need a family situation or someone that would have a live in nanny. Why, Adalind holding a child every scene that kills what she can do. Neither Sean or Nick are able to do what they do caring a baby. EVery show that has babies has a realtive of family member to watch the child. Nick has not family, ADalind has no family, Sean mother wll tkae Diana but that does nothing for the baby.

You are right the title is Kid's purpose. But all that is beign written is about what the kids will do. Forgeting all of the things mentioned would only be possible after several seasons. So by definition the kids are not to create a family. but to cause striff. between the characters. striff that will only be resolved with the kids not being seen on the show.

There is not enough time for a spin-off. You can not spin off kids until you make the kids a character.

But your biggest problem is you can not have that much screen time for kids. Which means stories can not revolve around the kids. Which by definition we will not see much of the kids. More then likely the show will explain they leave for there own protection like they did with Diana. Nick's son will be given his own story, he's won't get shoved like Diana did. They wouldn't let a grimm/wesen child go to waste. Nick may be in depression, but his depression isn't going to last throughout the entire season, sure half of it, but not all of it. And Nick's son will have a purpose, just because he'll only be a baby doesn't mean he can't make a purpose without his mom or dad. Heck, we don't even know if Diana's aging is rare or not, but from what I can tell, it is. Nick's son might start if the royals try to get their hands on him, or at school. You can't say what will happen to a character just because another character got the outcome you bet will get the same. And I know the son isn't a source, but can't be at least help Nick and Adalind's relationship somewhat? He's not going to just watch his parents argue, it would be useless. And purposes can be made before the person's actions begin. People can say what they believe might happen, that's part of someone's purpose, to debate. Give the son time, character's don't just appear automatically, no character makes you a puppet. Nick's son needs time in order to start a story, he may be young, but he's not avoidable. And finally, Nick ISN'T going to give up his son for his protection like Sean did to Diana, he officially said no was going to take him. He rarely to never takes back what he says, he mainly does what he says. Seriously, if you make a character have somewhat aspect to another, you make them useless. And finally, that would waste all this time and effort and material the writers put into the show, and just cause them to get negative reception for making something, only to fuck it up. A grimm/wesen baby given his sisters outcome and no screen time, is just a big "Fuck You, Fans!" to the face. This show has conflict, but a character isn't going to have the EXACT outcome for another.
