Adalind was working Nick to protect her from Juliette and not to hook up with him. It was clear that she fully expected Juliette to take the suppressant. How can she expect to get Nick if she thought he and Juliette would get back together once the suppressant was taken? Adalind even thought Nick would throw her out on the street or worse once he got Juliette back.
According to what I'm reading, Adalind never had the remotest possibility of convincing Viktor that this was his child. So her desperation should have surfaced long ago. Yet she waits until Kenneth boots her out before hotfooting it to Nick to work on him about the beanie baby.
I can see Tara's thought that Adalind decided to go to Nick in an effort to work her way into his life. Adalind knew Juliette was a hexenbiest. Adalind knew Juliette was following her. Adalind knew exactly how Juliette would react when she found out she (Adalind) was about to pop. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Adalind's brain is clicking on how to make this whole situation work for her benefit.
Adalind was clearly desperate when she made a mad scramble to sleep with Viktor. When talking about Adalind, there's plenty of desperation to go around.
There were a couple of problems with Adalind trying to make Viktor the father that she wasn't aware of at the time. The king was replacing Viktor with Kenneth so there was no time to sleep with him. The other problem was Viktor being sterile, which she didn't know, so sleeping with him would've been a waste of time. Adalind tried to convince Kenneth that Viktor was the father because she didn't expect it to be refuted or that he was sterile.
There was a benefit from Nick that Adalind was hoping to get from him. It was the benefit of not being killed by Juliette. Adalind trying to ingratiate herself into Nick's life and take Juliette's place probably would've only been the plot had it been written by a rocket scientist.
There is no way Adalind thought she was going to take the place of Nick's long-standing girlfriend, even if she were having his child.
