Happy Easter to anyone who celebrates it and if not then happy beginning of spring, even if it doesn't feel like it in most places at the moment.

"What the hell," Jacob muttered as he walked down the corridors towards his daughters lab. He had just got back from a visit to Mark and his family. Sam had had to stay at the SGC as she was due to go off world while he planned on visiting Mark. It had made the whole visit a little awkward but thankfully the kids had loved their Easter presents and that had made it easier for all involved.

He was sure that he had just seen a giant rabbit round the corner and go into Sam's lab. He shook his head, he was on the most highly guarded military base in the US, there was no way a giant rabbit had just walked into his daughter's lab, no way.

He walked into the lab and then froze in place. There was indeed a rabbit in Sam's lab and the rabbit seemed to be trying to get Sam to wear a rabbit costume too.

Jacob cleared his throat and Sam looked up sharply while the rabbit span around to find to source of the noise. "Jack?" Jacob said, stunned as he saw who the rabbit actually was.

"Um, hi Jacob," Jack said, waving sheepishly, "What brings you here on this fine Thursday?"

"I.." Jacob started then shook his head. He took a moment and then, in full General mode, said, "Why are you dressed like a rabbit Colonel?"

Jack and Sam were both silent for a moment, looking a little shocked about being caught. "Cassie volunteered me for the Easter egg hunt their having at her school this afternoon," Jack said eventually, "And I was just trying on the costume when I realised that there was a second one in the bag with a sticky note on it saying for Sam."

Jacob looked to his daughter and gave her a look as if to say, anything else.

"She cornered me and was so excited I couldn't say no," Sam said, "Easter is still pretty new to her and she loves it."

"Why are you trying it on on base?" Jacob asked, turning his attention back to Jack.

"Just to make sure it fits and I don't have to run to the costume place for a last minute change," Jack answered. He looked back at Sam and said, "Come on, I need to get out of this and you need to get ready to leave."

Sam nodded and reached up to pull the rabbit head off of Jack's head. "You're wearing something under that right sir?" she questioned, ignoring the look her father gave her as he heard what she was saying. Jack nodded slowly. "Good," Sam said, placing the head on her desk, "About this time every day the corridors around here get really busy so unless you want everyone on base to see you dressed as a giant bunny you might want to just take it all off here," then at the last minute she added, "Sir."

"So what is it you're actually doing?" Jacob asked as Jack nodded and began to pull of the costume.

"I think really all we have to do is be there when the kids do their egg hunt, although knowing the Colonel we'll end up running around," Sam said, as she packed up her equipment for the day.

"Hey," Jack said from where he was leant against the wall, wrestling slightly with the legs of the trousers, "That's no way to talk about your CO Carter, especially when he's in the room."

"You know full well it's true sir, you're more of a kid then Cassie is," Sam answered with a smile as she began to stuff the parts of the costume Jack had already gotten off into the bag. "Um, where's the other head sir?"

"We'll have to stop off at the infirmary to get it," Jack answered as he finally freed himself from the fluffy trousers, "Janet wasn't around so I just grabbed the stuff of her desk and didn't see a second head."

Sam nodded and then looked at her watch, "We're going to have to run sir unless we want to be late."

Jack nodded and then looked at Jacob, "Well if you'll excuse us Jacob, Sel'mac, we're going to have to run."

Jacob nodded and moved to the side to let Jack out, who grabbed the bag on his way. He followed Jack and then stopped to let Sam lock the door behind them. "I'll come see you later Dad," she said, shifting the rabbit head so she could lock the door, "When we're done at the school. It hopefully won't take too long and I'll be back this evening so we can go out for dinner or whatever."

Jacob nodded and smiled. As the two officers headed down the corridor he called after them, "Run along you two, or should it be hop along, you wouldn't want to be late would you."

There you go, three chapters in three days, I'm fairly proud of myself for that. I hope you liked it.
