And he wasn't going to tell her to get out, because he was just so happy she was alive. As a family, they're quite stoic, so overt displays of emotion would be a bit out of character. They bury the feelings, which isn't necessarily healthy, but it's their way. If Nick is not forthcoming with the messy emotional stuff, it doesn't indicate it's absence. And both women did what they thought they needed to do in order to protect him. I'm sure they hoped he would remain unburdened by the Grimm life, so distancing themselves seemed the best option. If his powers had never come, I'm sure Nick would have never known the truth. He would have led a quiet life with Juliette, which is all Marie and Kelly would have wanted for him. Coming back once he became a Grimm, was out of love. They knew he would need their help and guidance, so despite the pain, they would rip off that emotional band-aid. If they didn't care, Marie and Kelly would have never shown their faces.
Kelly's no mother. She lied to Nick and Marie lied right along with her. I have no feeling for a woman who would let her son go through unnecessary grief, then when he's in his 30s, she decides to show her face. She'll never be anything more to me than the egg donor and baby incubator.
Well, that's your prerogative, but that's not how Nick saw it. Kelly felt it was the only way to protect him. And she didn't just come back on a whim. Unless Nick needed her help, she probably would have never returned. You've said in other posts, that Baby Kelly And Diana should be removed from the orbit of all things Grimm. Is that any different from the decision Nick's Mom made? Neither Kelly or Nick could stop being a Grimm, which means that threat is always there. They've both picked mirror opposite methods of dealing with that. So if you think neither is correct, what's the better option?
