Summary: Morgiana may long for the freedom on the other side of the rift, but she finds contentment and warmth in the breezy gardens of the Kou Empire. Hakumor family oneshot.
A/N: My first story? XD It's been years since I wrote anything, and I suddenly had the urge to make an account this afternoon to try posting one today. :D I know I am not that good as a writer (for I do more fanarts in fandoms instead of writing) but I still hope you enjoy this. :))

A Warm Place
The grass feels cool under her bare feet, swaying gently as the mild breeze and sweet music of laughter drifted across the yard. She had been living with her husband in this palace for a few years now, but still, Morgiana can't get used to wearing closed footwear that is so commonly worn among his people. It feels so nice to touch the ground again, although her handmaid standing a few paces away from her glares at her sandals, put aside for the moment, in grave disapproval.
Pretending not to notice her aide's displeasure, Morgiana adjusted her skirts and turned back her gaze across the yard, to where her husband and son are playing a game of tag. Her five year old child, Hakuyuu, bounced around chasing his father, red hair glinting with warm sunlight. He is almost always about to catch Hakuryuu, but then the latter would bound at the last moment, leaving their son infuriated, and stamping deep boot prints on the hard ground.
Hakuryuu seems to run faster after that.
'I'll be the first to hug Mother if you don't catch me!' she heard her husband call out to their child, setting the both of them in a race towards where she is sitting under the shade of an apple tree. In a few moments, the two of them settled themselves beside her, breathing heavily and racing to wrap their arms around her shoulders. Hakuryuu managed to win for only a split second leaving the little prince a tad bit jealous.
Hakuyuu turned his blue eyes towards her and complained, 'Father has very long legs!'
The young Ren pouted, puffing his cheeks in irritation. He looks much too similar to her except for his eyes and a small mole below his lips. He had them from his father.
Morgiana gave her little prince a small smile, took both of his small hands in hers and then placed them gently over the silk covering her growing belly. Hakuryuu placed his hand atop his son's too, his cool blue eyes smiling.
He grinned at Hakuyuu then added, 'Soon you'll be able to outrun someone too.'
A/N: Thanks a lot for reading! English is not my native language so I hope I didn't hurt your eyes way too much. XD I just want to try writing something for this pair (although it's really short), I lovelovelove Hakumor so much. ^u^
And just a little bonus something if you're interested: I did a one- page doujin called "Confession" some time ago which is an au story for Hakumor. You may find it on my deviantart account tutubingkarayom or on my tumblr putotinapa :D
