Obviously I agree with you. I would say, in reality, the odds are low this is Nick's baby.
But to answer your question, for one, a Grimm baby. Adalind is mercenary, that might increase the market value for her child.
One the other hand here are a few facts about Portland:
Estimated median household income in 2015: $60,892
Estimated per capita income in 2015: $34,345
Estimated median house or condo value in 2015: $348,300
These two threads are interesting. They paint a picture of Portland as a city where their is little job opportunity and a lot of economic opportunity issues for younger people(aka Adalind's group):

The odds are anyone she is knocking booties with has a cash flow problem. Adalind was unemployed. Nick has a decent paying job and health care. In my city he would be a prime target. It does not sound like Portland is any better and may be worse.
My few female friends in Portland tell me the dating scene is abysmal. Guys ride bikes, they don't have cars, so you meet them somewhere and the guys assume you are a feminist so you are always going to be buying your own dinner. Which works out because the guys tend not to have any money or decent prospects and couldn't afford dinner fro two anyways.
So in summary, the odds are Nick (of all people) might be considered a real catch in Portland after all.
Oxford commas are so totally rad!.
