His mother, really? The woman was actually in his life, as a presence, mentor, mother-figure for exactly how long? Do you think that feelings just instantly manifest themselves with adults? Ask any adopted children how strained it can be when you finally meet your birth parent/parents or a sibling you did not know you had. I think of Nick as more or less a petulant child, and he was distraught over his sense of loss, that something was take from him, rather than an innate heartfelt love. His reaction was akin to what happens to a child when a scoop of ice cream falls off a cone. And he was out for revenge, it was blow to his ego, they delivered a personal taunt, via the head in the box, and his anger was further fed by the scoobies, with the “they killed your mother” basically compelling him to manifest an element of rage. But no, I do not feel it was a sense of love that motivated him.
His Aunt, yes I believe he loved his aunt.
Juliette, no I do not think he ever loved Juliette. If he actually loved Juliette he would have done what any ADULT would do and depending on your interpretation, let her go, or pushed her out of his life. He was warned by the women you allege he loved, his aunt, to let Juliette go. So, it just shows you how much respect he had for her opinion and voice of experience. But Nick, like the child he is, wanted his cake and to eat it too. Cops, in particular come to realize the fragility and danger they bring to their relationships. They tend not to marry later in life for that reason, they are aware of the impact their career has on family. Nick was at the age when he should have realized his career choice was not truly compatible with family life. And then the Grimm thing came up, he doubly should have known. No, he did not love Juliette, enough to deny himself her companionship and do what was right for the woman you purport he loved. When you love someone you selflessly consider what is in their best interest. Nick loves Nick.
Monroe, no I do not think Nick loves Monroe. He uses Monroe, has interfered with his life and forced his way into Monroe's life when Monroe tried to push him away and has endangered Monroe’s life. No I do not think Nick loves Monroe, I think he uses Monroe.
Hank? Are you kidding? I do not know the policies of every department in the U.S. but I do know the policy of my local police force and several others. And they specifically rotate partners every few years in order to avoid deeper relationships from forming that could cloud a cops judgment. That is what part of the brotherhood of the badge is about, you are all LEOs, and all LEOS bond via “they wear a badge like me”, without regard for the individual wearing the badge. In other words, you all have each other's back so you don't feel you need a special partner you trust in critical situations more than another cop (contrary to cop-buddy movie portrayals) . In my city, if he felt a stronger than normal friendship forming he has a duty to request a new partner. So no I do not think Nick loves Hank.
Kelly, he is do think he loves his own son.
Adalind, no I do not. I think Nick is just in lust with her bodacious tatas. I mean, get real here. Their child was not born out of love. She tried to kill his Aunt, and destroy his partner. Moreover she has screwed his boss, his partner and gosh knows who else. Do you think in real life guy’s fall in love with his bosses discards, or the skank your partner porked or the woman who tried to murder the woman who raised you or tried to take out your partner, or attacked you girlfriend? I loved the Nick + Adalind + baby interaction, but come on the guy would have to be a drooling idiot to lose his heart to her. At best it would be FWBs + baby.
Wu, no he does not love him, for the same reason as Hank.
Oxford commas are so totally rad!.
