No, it wasn't about Nick trusting Adalind's word right off the bat. The discussions centered around who was the father of her baby and that Nick should have demanded a paternity test.
That's not what Nick asking for a paternity test was about. I remember those conversations very well. We talked about Nick not asking for a paternity test being unbelievable from a character standpoint. It was never about the viewer not believing Adalind because they weren't supposed to believe her. We always knew Nick was the father. That doesn't mean Nick, a character in that universe with a tumultuous history with Adalind to say the least, should believe what we already know without seeing proof.
Remember that I also defended Juliette for not believing Nick at the end of season 1. We all know what Nick was saying was the truth but Juliette believing what he was saying without seeing it for her own eyes would've been ridiculous.
The question of Nick really being Kelly's father was something you and maybe a couple of other posters posed, those posters were notably big Nick/Juliette shippers, and nobody else. That conversation, which went on way too long, was unrelated to Nick asking for a paternity test.
