Imagine Emily finding out that your mom was never very attentive when you were younger, so she takes you out to do mom things.

  "Wakey, wakey, eggs and bake-y!" someone sweetly cooed you awake.
  "Hmm?" you murmured, half-awake. "What's going on?"
  "Baby, I made you breakfast in bed," Emily Prentiss said softly.
  "Aw, you didn't have to do that!" you gasped, sitting up automatically.

Your girlfriend kissed your cheek affectionately.
  "I love you. I wanted to do something nice," Emily said as she sat down next to you with her own plate.

She placed a TV tray over your lap, and then grabbed her own.
  "This is about what I told you about my mom, isn't it?" you asked.
  "Well," she thought, "I just want you to know that I really love you, and—"
  "Stop," you chuckled, "It's sweet, and I love it," you promised her, taking a bite of Emily's famous pancakes.
  "Really?" Emily asked with relief.
  "Really, honey," you promised, trying the eggs and bacon next.
  "Then, can I please brush your hair after breakfast?" she asked hopefully. "I mean, you talked about how you liked when your mom used to do that..."
  "Absolutely," you said happily.

Emily chuckled, wrapping an arm around you and kissing your face lovingly.

  "Okay, I'm officially clean," you announced after brushing your teeth.

You sat back down on the bed you shared with Emily, right in front of her as she gently ran a hairbrush through your soft hair. She kept a warm hand at the top of your head, keeping your hair stable as she slowly brushed through it. She was more comforting than your actual mother was.
  "Your hair is so nice and thick," Emily sighed. "I love the smell of your shampoo."
  "Thank you, mommy," you giggled with satisfaction, using the name you often used for her in bed, although under different circumstances.
  "My sweet, sweet girl," Emily Prentiss sighed.
  "You're gonna make a better mom than my mom ever was," you admitted, placing a hand in her thigh beside you.
  "So will you," she promised you. "Together, we'll have our own, beautiful little family, and it'll be like everything we ever wanted."
  "You're everything I ever wanted," you told her.
  "This isn't all too much for you?" Emily asked you. "I know I shouldn't try to replace your mom, but... I just feel like someone should treat you like the princess you are,"she sighed sadly, playing with your hair.
  "You're the sweetest, most beautiful woman in the world. What you're doing is adorable," you replied.
  "Then... you wouldn't mind making a list of mom-like things you wanna do together today?" Emily asked hopefully.
  You just chuckled. "Sure, babe."

****

  "Okay, I looked over the list, and I have chosen and added a few different things for today," your girlfriend announced enthusiastically.
  "Yay! What are we doing today, hon?" you asked curiously.
  "It's a surprise!" Emily said excitedly. "Come on!"
  "Okay, hold up!" you exclaimed as you followed her to the car. "I love you, Emily."
  "I love you more, baby!" Emily called.
