Ihave had two of the nurses set up one of the VIP rooms for them." Doctor Lam told Sam and Cameron

"Good, how is working on the device going?" Asked Cameron

"It isn't." Said Sam feeling defeated, "although we watched the playback from the security cameras in Daniel's office and it seems the transformation happened while he and Vala were fiddling with the device."

"So at least we know we're looking at the right thing."

"I guess."

"How have they been this afternoon?"

"Good, in fact they should sleep well tonight me and Teal'c have been playing attack with them."

"Attack?"

"Vala's idea."

"Where are they anyway?" Asked Doctor Lam

"Teal'c's bringing them down in a minute."

Just then they emerged down the corridor Teal'c was walking carrying one child in each arm where they had their heads rested on his shoulder both clearly worn out from the afternoons exertions. Vala was yawning and rubbing her eyes and Daniel had his thumb in his mouth resting his head firmly on Teal'c

"Hey guys, did you have fun with Teal'c this afternoon?"

The only response was a small nod from Daniel and a umm from Vala.

"Ok, how about we get you guys some dinner and then you can both go to bed, ok?"

As they all made their way to the commissionary Cameron asked "What do you guys fancy eating then?"

"That stuff you gave me earlier." Replied Vala quickly

"Chocolate?"

"Yeah, choclot."

"You can't have chocolate for dinner." Replied Sam as she took Vala from Teal'cs arms to give him a break from carrying two children at once.

"Why not? It's yummy."

"Well maybe you can have some chocolate cake for dessert if you eat all your dinner." Replied Doctor Lam.

Sam took both the children to sit at a table as the others went to get all of the food for the lot of them.

There were many whispers and looks from around the commissionary being 7pm, there were still lots of people at the SGC, scientists who couldn't leave their experiment until the morning or they wouldn't be able to sleep, teams that had just come back and wanted dinner before getting rest.

The grapevine which was pretty much run by the infirmary nurses had made the rounds and everyone seemed to know of Daniel and Vala's predicament. Even the teams who had only gated in, in the last hour.

The others returned to the table carrying the dinners, with spaghetti for Daniel and Vala hoping that they couldn't go to wrong with that, unfortunately although they were right that they would both be happy to eat it, they hadn't considered the amount of mess two seven year olds could make of themselves with spaghetti, they had more food on themselves and the table than in their mouths, especially Vala who was fascinated by the long stringy food and insisted in playing with it and trying to eat it with her hands, by the time they were finished they were a complete state and many of the SGC personnel had gotten their mobile phones out and taken photos to pop on the message boards when Daniel and Vala were back to normal size.

"Are you guys Ok getting them settled for the night?" Sam asked the boys

"Of course Colonel Carter."

"Why where you going?"

"I'm going to drive out to that kids superstore, they're open late and we need stuff for them tomorrow."

"Like what?"

"Well clothes for one thing, that machine only seemed to shrink the clothes they were wearing and those are well and truly ruined now." Noting the state the two of them were in.

"Can I have my chocolate cake now?" Asked Vala

Most of the food was off her plate, the only problem was it hadn't really reached her mouth.

"Ok, but you have to eat this with your spoon or fork, no hands."

Vala readily agreed and took her plate of chocolate cake, Daniel followed suit and took his own plate of chocolate cake even though he still hadn't finished his spaghetti.

Vala experimented trying to use her spoon to lift up the cake, having never used such contraptions before she was struggling a little and ended up just puttng her face to the cake on the table and biting in, which resulted in a completely chocolate covered girl.

"You guys are going to have to wash them before you put them to bed" stated Sam seeing what Vala had just done.

"What? We can't shower Vala!" exclaimed Cameron

"I'll wash Vala." Offered Doctor Lam

"Thank you Doctor Lam." Said a relieved Teal'c

"What are we going to put them to sleep in?" asked Doctor Lam

"Just put them in issue black T shirts they should wear like nighties, and I'll get some stuff tonight."

"Maybe we should make a list of everything we're going to need for them."

"Ok, pyjamas, a couple of outfits each."

"Some toys."

"A Bear" injected Daniel

All eyes looked at him after his outburst with a mouthful of cake

"I need a teddy bear." He said with such seriousness.

"Ok, a teddy bear."

"Maybe a few Disney films."

"Some books."

"Just get the whole store."

"Alright well, I'm going to get going, I should be able to get back and get all the stuff sorted out before I turn in."
