#on my momily bs lately I guess

Thinking big thoughts about step mom Emily tonight guys.

Emily learning the names of all the comic book characters Henry likes after he asks to play figures with her and she misnames one of them. JJ finding her in her office grumbling at the latest issue of a Doctor Strange comic because come on, he wouldn’t do that Jayje, this is just poor writing and JJ affectionately rolling her eyes whilst silently agreeing (she’s done exactly the same thing, learning all his favourite characters).

Emily always packing goldfish crackers in her car and in her purse because she knows they’re Michael’s favorites, and scrutinising everything she buys for apples on the ingredients because Henry’s allergic, even though they rarely ever eat at her place.

Michael calling Emily “mama” one night, sleepily, after she’s read him a story, and it sitting in Emily’s chest, her throat swollen closed, her heart full and her eyes brimming with tears.

JJ in the doorway, overhearing and having to put a hand over her mouth to stop a sob escaping.

Emily routinely worrying that people are gonna mistake her for the boys’ grandmother, so much so that it’s become a bit at work, and Morgan’s threatened to bribe the teachers at Henry’s school into saying it just to get a reaction out of her. He won’t though because he knows better than to incite the wrath of JJ.

Emily always worrying that she’s not good with the boys and that they’re going to think she’s trying to encroach on Will’s place in their lives, when secretly they both adore her and always have.
