But we also have her actually learning from Henrietta that she was pregnant. Her immediate reaction was that she couldn't be, because she hadn't been with anyone, and it's only when Henrietta presses her that she remembers Nick. Henrietta didn't strike me as the sort of person Adalind would have felt the need to deny sexual escapades to.
A very astute observation, as always. I'll counter with this point. Adalind is not stupid, she is a lawyer and can think on her feet.
I doubt she would really be taken back by a pregnancy and may have known already and was setting the stage that she wanted. Besides, I know, the default position of many women is, no, there was no one but you. In other words even if the pregnancy was a surprise Adalind's lawyer mind would have steered what she said to the narrative she wanted conveyed out of sheer lawyer instinct. In other words Henrietta was likely getting a very crafted response that combines an amoral and devious mind of a lawyer with the heartless deceit of a blond (I mean a Hexenbiest).
In two differents scenes we are basically seeing Adalind's thoughts that Nick is the only possible father. IMO you are claiming she is so crafty that she has tricked herself when she talks to herself bathroom. If a women knows she is pregnant, why on earth would she give herself three pregnancy tests. She did not even show the results to anyone else and tried to hide it for long as possible and Ken was the one who brought up it was Nick's baby and threaten her and her baby.
If I was Adalind the last men I want as the father of my new baby would be the men involved in taking my first baby.
Women characters do not have to be having sex with the lead to be important to the story.
