Jensen woke up early in the morning and took care of the kids before bringing them to Gen's house for a few hours. By the time he got back to the ranch Jared was pulling up. "Hey man."

Jared had no desire to get up and do an interview, but he knew it was something he had to do.  He dragged himself out of bed about ten minutes before he was supposed to be to Jensen's.  He washed his face, brushed his teeth, changed his clothes, and walked out the front door.  It was a quick drive to get to the ranch.  Truth was, he could have walked it in the same amount of time, but he just didn't have the energy.  He had his sunglasses on as he stepped out of his car.  "Hey." he grumbled.  "The interviewer here yet?  I just want to get this over with."

"I just got back from dropping the kids with Gen so I don't think so. You wanna load up that keg before she gets here though?"

"Did you ever tell Ash you were leaving Tristan with Gen?" he chuckled, pushing his sunglasses up on top of his head.  "Yeah, let's do that."

"No," he said flatly and headed to one of his other cars that had the keg in the backseat. He pulled it out and brought it to Jared's. His phone buzzed and when he looked at it he saw a message from the lady saying she was ten minutes away. "Guess we should go inside and get ready for this."

Jared knew from the tone in Jensen's voice, not to say anything else about him talking to Ashley.  He opened the back door of his car for his brother to put the keg in.  "Yeah." he sighed.  "Let's just hope this doesn't take too long and she doesn't get too personal, ya know?"

"They always get personal." Jensen said and in the house he made sure the living room was appropriate in case they decided to take any pictures to go along with the article. When the bell rang he looked at Jared, "You wanna get that?"

"Maybe this one will be different?" he shrugged.  Jared went into the kitchen to grab some bottles of water to have out when the lady got there.  He had just set them down on the table when the bell rang.  "Yeah, I got it."  He walked to the door and took a deep breath, forcing a smile on his face as he turned the knob.

Jensen wasn't in the best mood so he needed an extra few seconds to compose himself. When Jared walked into the room with the lady she introduced herself and Jensen did the same, shaking her hand. Once introductions were done they all sat down and Tiffany turned on her tape recorder, "I'm sitting here with Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, stars of the hit CW show Supernatural. How are you guys doing today?" Jensen smiled, "I'm doing good, thanks."

Jared offered Tiffany one of the bottles of water as he grabbed one for himself and sat down.  "Happy to be here." Jared smiled, twisting the cap off and taking a drink.

Tiffany took the water but put it down, not needing it yet. "I have some questions for you both so let's get right into it. This might be an obvious one but what are you doing career wise right now?" "We're on hiatus from filming right now," Jensen said, "But we'll be starting season fourteen before the end of the summer. I also opened a brewery here in Austin so I've been spending a lot of time there." "What about you, Jared? Are you doing anything aside from Supernatural?"

"I'm just enjoying spending this time with my kids and helping out at Jay's brewery when I can." Jared chuckled.

"When have you helped?" Jensen joked with a laugh. Tiffany laughed too, "Where do you guys see yourselves in five years?" Jensen thought about how he wanted to answer the question. He knew that when Ashley heard it, it wouldn't go over well, but he wasn't in the mood to lie. "In five years I'd like to still be doin the show, expanding the brewery, raising my kids. I'd like to have more kids too, maybe some with my girlfriend." He stopped talking so Jared could answer.

"Hey, I help all the time!" Jared defended.  He listened as Jensen's answer and his eyes got wide.  He wanted to say something, but knew better than to say anything, especially in front of a reporter.  "Oh man, in five years I absolutely want to still be doing the show.  I think I'd also like to get back into doing movies if I can."

Jensen wondered if Tiffany was going to ask Jared about his personal life in five years but instead she went into the next question, "If you guys couldn't do your current profession what would you do?" Jensen answered right away, "Aside from acting and running a brewery? I don't think there's anything else I'd like to do. Maybe retire." He laughed.

"I think maybe I'd like to work at a youth center.  Help kids who are feeling down and out, to let them know that they're not alone." he shrugged.

"That's a really good idea," Tiffany commented, "Maybe you should look into volunteering now?" She looked down at her notes, "What would you say is the hardest part about being a celebrity?" Jensen took a sip from his bottle of water then answered, "I love my fans but sometimes it gets a little overwhelming getting stopped for pictures and autographs all the time. Especially when I'm out with my kids."

"Yeah.  Most of our fans are really cool, but we do have the occasional ones who can get a little over zealous.  I think for me though, it's having everyone comment on our private lives, like they have a right to tell us what to do."

Tiffany finally opened her own bottle and took a small sip. "Can you describe your ideal soulmate?" Jensen took a deep breath as they were now getting into the personal questions. "Blonde, feisty, a little competitive, loves to ride horses, great cook, good mom."

It was a question that Jared had hoped would never come.  He hated talking about personal stuff.  He was a very private person, so being asked this stuff gave him anxiety.  He ran his hands up and down his pants, trying to dry them from the nervous sweat he could now feel as he listened to Jensen, wondering if he was talking about Ashley or Katie.  When it was his time to answer, Jared just took a deep breath.  "I don't know if I believe in soulmates anymore." he admitted.  "Don't look at me like that Jay.  It's true.  I used to think I knew what I wanted, but now, I have no idea.  I just don't think soulmates exist."

Tiffany nodded at their answers, "That's a nice transition into our next question, how has your relationship changed in the last year?" Jensen knew that Jared was going to struggle with this question so he was thankful he was answering first. "I've celebrated my one year wedding anniversary with my wife and I've been with my girlfriend for almost a year," he said as if it was a normal thing to have a wife and girlfriend.

Jared shifted in his seat as he felt the room start to close in on him.  He tried to take slow deep breaths to keep himself from passing out.  "I uh...celebrated my one year anniversary, and got divorced all in the same year. I uh...don't really want to talk about any of that though, if you don't mind."

"Is it true that your wife left you for her ex fiance?" Tiffany asked but Jensen cleared his throat, "How about the next question." He practically demanded trying to protect his brother.  Tiffany got the hint and looked down. "Um, what's your guilty pleasure?" Jensen thought about it and laughed, "I haven't in awhile but I used to watch One Tree Hill before bed. Danneel got me into it." He had never admitted that to anyone but after seeing Sophia and Lucy talking about Brooke Davis on Twitter the show had been on his mind.

Jared felt his hands immediately ball up into fists and his eyes squint into a glare as he stared straight ahead.  He was about to go off on the reporter when he heard Jensen's voice.  He looked over at his brother, trying to fight back the tears he could feel forming in his eyes.  He laughed when he heard Jensen's guilty pleasure.  "Danneel made you watch it?  Yeah right." he teased, shaking his head.  "I think my guilty pleasure would be..." he reached over and held his hands over Jensen's ears.  "...bubble baths." he whispered to Tiffany.

Jensen fought to get Jared off him, "I heard that bubble bath boy!" he teased and the interaction caused the interviewer to laugh. "Okay guys, who is your favorite person in your group?" This question could get Jensen in trouble if he didn't answer correctly. If he said Ashley then Katie would get pissed and if he said Katie then Ashley would get pissed so he did the one thing he knew would resolve the problem, "It's Jared."

"I'd like to say this guy right here, but he's a jerk so I'm gonna say Misha." Jared teased, sticking his tongue out at Jensen.  "I'm kidding though.  I love Misha, but Jensen will always be my favorite person.  He's my rock, my brother, and my best friend."

"How about your least favorite person in the group?" Jensen knew the answer to this immediately, "Amell." He crossed his arms as he thought about the man.

"What the hell do you have against Amell?  He's a great guy, and he's always been nothing but nice to you." Jared said, defending his friend.  "For me, it's Ian Harding.  That little...never mind.  I shouldn't say anything." Jared said, stopping himself from going off onto a bad rant.

Tiffany looked excited when Jared mentioned Ian. "I think you totally should say something."

"Nice try.  I'm not saying anything."

"Darn," Tiffany looked at her paper, "Oh, this is the last question. Do you regret anything you've done in the last six months?" Jensen shrugged, "I do shit I shouldn't all the time."

"Very much so." Jared nodded.  "But we learn from our mistakes, right?"

"Could either of you elaborate?" Tiffany fished and Jensen decided to give the girl something. "I regret keeping things from my girlfriend. I thought I was protecting her by keeping it to myself but it made things worse."

Jared stood up and shook his head.  "I regret ever falling in love." he suddenly said.  "If you'll please excuse me..." he said politely before walking out of the room.

Jensen wanted to follow his friend but they were still on the clock here. "Uh, I think that'll be it. Thanks for your time." He showed Tiffany out and once she was gone he went in search of Jared. "You okay?"

Jared found himself a beer and walked out the back door and down to the stable.  He was leaning against the fence, watching the horses when Jensen came up behind him.  "Nope." he said flatly, bringing the beer to his lips and taking a long drink.

Jensen walked up along side him and saw Lucy's horse, Riptide, running around with one of his. "You want me to sell him?"

"Nah...Sammy's gonna need a horse so she can go riding with her Uncle Jay when she's older."

Jensen smiled, "Sounds good." He looked at his brother, "Do you really regret falling in love with her?"

Jared just shrugged his shoulders and drained what was left in his beer bottle.  "Does it really matter anymore?" he asked, handing the empty bottle to Jensen.  "I gotta go.  Gotta clean the house before mom brings the kids home later."

"I'll drive ya, I can walk back." He said and started heading towards Jared's car.

"I'm fine to drive.  It was one beer." he said.

Jensen knew Jared was fine to drive but he was trying to find an excuse to go see Katie. "Okay. I'll go pick up Brady then."

What are you doing career wise right now?

Career wise, after a very hard pregnancy with twins and an even harder delivery, I’m working hard on getting back to the pitch and being fit to play a full 90. I’m determined to get back with my Orlando squad very quickly and to get my call up for the USWNT. We have World Cup Qualifying starting soon and I fully plan on being there for it.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Hopefully still playing. I’ve had a lot of injuries so it becomes harder every year, especially with us expanding our family to little ones. Whatever I’m doing though, I just plan on being the best wife to Louis and best mother to our babies. That will always be my main focus. Everything else I’ll figure out along the way. 

If you couldn’t do your current profession anymore, what would you want to do?

Honestly - just be a mom who can always be there for her babies. And run a shelter for dogs. Maybe start a company as well...I’ve never been good at sitting still and doing nothing. 

What is the hardest part about being a celebrity?

Being referred to as a “celebrity.” If I weren’t so passionate about the game, I’d be far from a celebrity and would’ve run the other way. It’s not my thing. But, my passion for the game trumps my hate for fame.

Describe your ideal soulmate.
