That's a given for a guy who's got a weapon that can change time. But then the series flash forwards to 20 years later. What's changed? Well, let's see. The kids are grimms now. Duh. But the relationship with Adalind apparently hasn't apparently changed. Otherwise the series finale wouldn't have brushed it off in one sentence about Mom and Dad waiting.The problem with your assumption is Nick is not Diana's dad. Sure step children call their stepfathers dad. But that is usually after a marriage or if their father is not in their life. Given that at no time has Diana refereed to Nick as her dad or even seeing him as a father figure. All the way to the end she has been daddy's girl with Sean. Even with the obstacles Sean has always shown he has no intention of not being front an center in Diana's life.
That being said it is a big leap to think that Diana was referring to Adalind and Nick and not Adalind and Sean. Her is another thing after twenty years it makes more sense that Sean would be in charge of a wesen control team. Sean was captain made it to mayor. Was on the top level in the BC operation one below Conrad. Is it even conceivable that Sean would work under Nick.
Something else to think about. Just how long does anyone think that Adalind would be willing to be under Nick. For one she would not take a back set to Eve for long. The more Eve showed her powers the more Adalind would show hers. Remember the only threat that sent Adalind to Nick was Juliette / Eve. She had no fear of the Royals or BC. Adalind was shown as someone that lived for couturier. How many women would go from having the finer things to wearing jeans. Especially when she does not have to. They showed she could get her job as a lawyer back in a minute. Does Adalind strike anyone as someone that would support someone else to live in the lifestyle she is accustomed to. In twenty years Adalind's need for power would return. She is a hexenbiest.
My point was more along the line of nothing has changed. Mom is the the domestic mouse to Dad and Dad can beam his grimmlike smile and there's apple pie as the kids merrily skip off into wesen land to kill wesen. Why would the kids even do this when they have a weapon that can do it for them? We don't know but who cares. They're grimms, and that is really all that matters, right?
You have a point, one which I believe has been brought up before. With all of the non-specifics in the series, there are many things which are not set in stone and so can be argued because they are so vague. Diana made a statement and because it's ambiguous, the viewer can take it any way they want because there was no picture of an older (yet still beaming because their children are grimms) Nick and Adalind holding hands, smiling and piling into the car with their wesen clubs and axes.
The show is about Nick the grimm, the trailer is full of Nick's and Adalind's things. Diana is seen holding the staff that Nick was entrusted with. Nick and Renard do not trust each other, even at the end of the series. Kelly is seen writing in the grimm family book about his father, Renard has never been established as acting like a grimm. Yes, that clearly is ambiguous. Might as well say that the mother Diana was referring to is JuliEve all along, that theory has as much evidence as Renard acting like a grimm at the end.
