I know that Claire Coffee is pregnant in real life, and the writers just wrote it into the story...for some added drama. So now...poor Nick is faced with having to defend Adalind, who basically raped him, and is now pregnant as a result of her forcing him to have sex with her against his will. Bleaack. I don't know if I can watch any more of this. No, it's not bleak, it's just the LAW of "Unintended Consequences". The Scooby Gang didn't know what they were getting into. They didn't know how powerful, wealthy, and entrenched the Royals and the Forces aligned against them are.

Even though the Scoobie Gang is winning at the moment, they are being hurt. They are being torn apart at the seems. That is how the Royals work. They've been there, done that, got the bodies buried in the basement of all the former would be revolutionaries and heroes who mess with the status quo.

The Royals do not worry that Juliette is now a Hexenbeist. They expect her to wreck havoc on the Grimm. Besides, all Hexenbeists are greedy and self serving (Juliette just got a jump on that by being a whiney, needy, idiot which makes it worse) an they know how to buy that. They don't care that Wesen in Portland might be starting to relax and trust a Grimm and no longer fear. Sometimes a population must be reminded why things are they way they are. It is even better that a "hero/saviour" come by every now and again and then be shown to fail horribly and the light at the end of the tunnel was a train. The lesson is they, the Royals, own the tunnel and the train. Escaping and running will not help you.

However, as to Adelind, it is about the right amount of time. Taking that Adelind got pregnant a few days before Monroe and Rosalee's wedding, it is been 6 or so months (way "close enough" for the fractured pace of TV story telling) and in the promos Adelind does look 6 or so months pregnant

Just my $0.02

Here's a theory: If the Juliette character is smart enough (and as a Vet, she is smart or at least shouldn't be a dummy) she knows she needs to get close to those that are the real issue, the Royals. She needs to push, threaten, even attack her "former friends" to make it look as though she is breaking away from them. That way the Hexenbeist part gets to use her powers and the Juliette side gets to help her friends the best way she knows how
