But Adalind may at one point mature and decide to tell Kelly the truth.
This has played out many times in real life. Since you are asking me, I think the best possible environment for a child is with a male and female parent. In terms of raising the child it does not matter who the biological father is, as long as their is a real dad presence (this assumes both people as parent material).
I have not seen this season except episode 1. But in season 5, Nick appeared to be a tender loving father.
Now here is something we have never discussed. It is not a secret that I am not fond of Nick's character. I think he is more or less a punk. But fatherhood can be a transformational event. I liked the Nick I saw in Season 5 with baby Kelly. If I wanted to view Nick positively it is easy to imagine him as a dufus, but one with a real soft spot for children. And given his background, he might actually suspect or know that Kelly is not his, but may chose to ignore that for the sake of the child. I have known more than one guy that did that. And Nick was adamant the child was innocent.
So yes, I think a life of deception is better for the child. especially if he adults are willing to keep up the charade once it is revealed, if indeed they did not know in the first place.
Here is an article that may be of interest to you that shows many sides of the die in play.
Who Knew I Was Not the Father?

As a man, I tend to think it would be hard to walk away. As he said, the child is innocent. I think it would make a far better yardstick to gain the measure of the man then by killing some wesen.
Oxford commas are so totally rad!.
