<p>Are you sure it's 2 years with kelly he cant crawl or seems to have learned any words yet. I can get why Adalind would say I love you to Nick besides the fear of never seeing him again he's the first good guy seems to have dealt with that hasn't used her or mistreated her in anyway. Also nick has every reason to hate her but he treats her really good father and person in general so it's not too mysterious why Adalind would fall in love with Nick.
</p><p>I just don't see why nick would do the same nick does tell monroe he's starting to see Adalind in new light and might be developing feelings for her. But nicks not in best emotional place and still shows signs for feelings for juliette and only said I love you to Adalind when things looked like it was over. I'm just not sure if nicks love for Adalind is genuine yet. I can get nick starting to respect Adalind as a person and mother and they've gotten intimate with each other a couple times but both nick and Adalind are in a real emotional state. Nick sayinh i love you to adalind wasnt surprising, to me nick saying I love you to Adalind was heat of the moment thing. There's many times as people we're in a emotional state and say I love you to that person doesn't make that love true. Also with the true juliette slowly coming back and her still having feelings for Nick will make things confusing for him.
</p><p>I do prefer nick and Adalind plot wise from one aspect they're similar both having absent parents and giving they're child the parents they never had, but besides that nicks been changing relationships with grimms and vvesens so it's pretty meaningful he falls in love with a hexenbeast who are naturally antagonistic to each other as we see for the majority of the series. And specifically nick and adalind having a very antogonistic telationship both being responsible with alot of the bad in their lives. But as far as the execution in the story I personally don't find nicks and Adalind love believable I can get having feelings for each other but if I was in nicks shoes I would be questioning is this true love they never went on a date to get to know each other. It would be nice to see nick and adalind be boyfriend and girlfriend first and get to know each other in a romantic level actually building a relationship. Also give the nick and juliette thing closure so both can truly move on and see why nick and adalind are better for each other than nick and juliette. We see fate play apart in the end of grimm it would be good to see nick and adalind were fated to be with each other something to legitamaize their relationship.
