Another example would be any character from any other fiction who has a parent that's a demon, god, or other supernatural figure, as I'm pretty sure that Hercules is Zeus' son despite Zeus having disguised himself as Alcmene's husband to lay with her, and that King Minos is also Zeus' son despite being conceived while Zeus was in the form of a bull.

If one needed an example from contemporary fiction, there's the example of Magnus Bane from the Mortal Instruments series as well, (SPOILER if you read the series and have yet to reach COHF's end) his father is the demon Asmodeus and he was conceived when his father disguised himself as his mother's husband.

The point is, in no fiction I've ever seen or read, has magical disguise made someone able to conceive in a surrogate manner for the subject serving as the disguise. Henrietta says "if you want to stop your hexinbeast you must kill her." Juliette hasn't done anything (yet) that would make the words "stop your hexinbeast" apply to her. Adalind however, needs to be stopped. There's also a bit of a pause so it could be that it's two different portions of a conversation spliced together in order to make it seem like it's referring to Juliette in the promo. I don't think it is in the episode.

Just because that's canon in other works doesn't mean it will be here. There is no rule or law that that format needs to be followed. I understand where you are coming from and normally I think I'd agree with you, but (assuming that my guess of him needing to kill Adalind is correct) having it be Nick and Adalind's child makes no sense. The last thing he would want is to have a child with her, lose Juliette in the process and bring a half hexinbeast/grimm into the world. He'd kill her without hesitation. Preganant or not. She already knows Juliette is powerful, even more so than her so the option of using her for leverage just diminished significantly and made her position far more dangerous. Not to mention I'm sure Juliette would want the baby dead as well.

The only way Adalind pregnant with Nick's baby works is if it's Nick and Juliette's baby and she's carrying it like a surrogate.
