Penelope's P.O.V.
"Penelope, please come down here!" Ms. Smith tells Up to me.
"Okay, I'll be down there ASAP!" I put my phone in my pocket and walk downstairs. I see Ms. Smith talking to a man. His back is facing me. I clear my throats so that they both know that I'm here. They both turn around and I can't believe my eyes. Jensen Ackles is standing right in front of me. Wasn't he just at his interview? He almost looks out of breath. "Penelope, please introduce yourself," Ms. Smith tells me.
"Hi. I'm Penelope Jane Ackles. I'm 15 years old and will be 16 in exactly 3 weeks. My favorite show is Supernatural" I say to introduce myself.
"Penelope, can I please talk to you?" Jensen asks me.
"Sure, I say.
We walk into the meeting room and sit down in the chairs. I look up and see him just staring at me.
"What are you looking at Ackles?" I ask him. He chuckles and says, "you Penelope."
"Okay then," I say. Then I realize why he's here. He must've seen my email.
"Jensen, why are you here? Weren't you just at an interview?"
"You sent an email right away. As soon as I looked at the picture and saw the address, I rushed here."
"Why Jensen? I don't understand why you of all people would be here, talking to me."
"Penelope-" he tries to say before I cut him off.
"PJ. Call me PJ please," I tell him.
"Okay then. PJ, you know why I'm here. I know you know because you sent an email first thing."
Then it finally clicks why he's here.
"Jensen, will you come with me for a second? I want to show you something."
"Of course," he says as we both stand up. I start to walk away and he follows me. We go into my room. I grab a box off of my dresser and sit down on my bed. Jensen sits next to me as I start talking.
"Everything in this box is stuff that I had with me when I was dropped off here."
I pull out a locket. I open it. On one side it says, "Austin, Texas," and other the other side is a picture of me with my mom and dad when I was a baby. Now that I think about it, he definitely looks like Jensen. Next, I pull out a bracelet and a little pair of shoes that 4 year old me wore. I then hand the locket, bracelet, and shoes to Jensen.
"These are mine. I've always kept them because I wanted a connection to my parents just in case I never got to see them again."
By now I've started to cry and Jensen's eyes are tearing up. He opens the locket after looking at the other things and that's what breaks him. He starts crying.
"Jensen?"
"This-these are my daughter's. PJ's. My sweet, little, innocent Penelope Jane Ackles. You're here. I finally found you."
He pulls me into a hug and I hug him back. I pull away, wipe my tears away, and say, "wait. Let me process this for a second. THE Jensen Ackles a.k.a. My favorite actor of all time is my dad. Woah. Umm, what am I supposed to call you?"
He chuckles then says, " you can call me anything your comfortable calling me."
"Okay," I reply.
"I'm going to go sign the papers and you can pack. What do you think about that?"
"That sounds good. I have one question for you though."
"Okay, shoot."
"Did you tell anybody that you found me?"
"Actually, yes. In the half hour that it took to get here I was talking to Jared. I told him that I found you and he said that he would be here soon," he says.
"Oh, ok," I say, trying not to fangirl about Jensen AND Jared being in the same building as me.
"PJ, you can fangirl, or freak out. Whatever you call it. It doesn't bother me," he points out. That breaks me.
"Jared Padalecki is on his way here and Jensen Ackles is my dad!"
That makes Jensen laugh. He goes downstairs to sign the papers and I start packing. About 30 minutes later there's a knock on my door.
