*UPDATED VERSION* THank-you for the reviews on the last chapter they were greatly appreciated. Thank-you all so much*

"What's the matter?" asks Seth as we pull up in front of his mom's house in Iowa. It's a nice little house and I know it was his childhood home. It's much smaller than the home that I grew up in but it feels more homely than my house ever did. It doesn't look like it has more than 3 bedrooms or more than one floor. It's brown and the front porch is grey with chairs sitting on the porch and a swing off in the corner. There are planted flowers in the garden in front of the house and a sycamore tree in the front yard showing the changing of the seasons.

"What if she doesn't like me," I say, "I'm not exactly every mother's dream for their son," I say nervously.

"She'll like you because I love you. You make me happy and that's all she ever wanted. She doesn't know anything about your past. She's meeting you and who you are right now the rest is history."

"I don't know, Seth," I say looking up at him, my brown eyes meeting his dark brown eyes. "I'm just really nervous about this. What if I do something wrong or say the wrong thing?"

"Relax," he says taking my hand into his. "Everything will be fine. She'll like you and my mom doesn't care about all that stuff. My mom is awesome one of the nicest women I have ever met in my life. Trust me she'll love you."

"I hope so," I say hopefully as I let out a breath. "What is there to do around here?" I ask

He lets out a little chuckle and says, "we'll find something to do."

"Okay," I say.

"You ready?" he asks.

"I'm ready," I say surely. "I'm ready to meet your mom." We decided it was better for us to come to Iowa this time without Jonah so he stayed back in Tampa with Roman and Tayla. Seth and I get out of the car and he gets into the trunk to get out our luggage. I stand and wait for him. He hands me my bag and wheels his beside him as we walk up the walkway to his front door hand in hand. "Are you sure she's going to like me?" I ask for reassurance.

"She's going to love you," he says, "I promise. I thought that I would introduce you two and then take you both out to lunch."

"That sounds good," I say with a smile as he smiles at me before knocking on the door.

"Normally she doesn't lock the doors but since times have changed she usually locks," he says and I nod. "Relax," he says wrapping his arm around my waist. "You'll love her. She's a wonderful person trust me."

"I do," I say as the front door to his childhood home opens and his mom is standing in front of us with a smile on her face, welcoming us to her home. Seth doesn't look anything like his mom as she has blue eyes, blondish hair but their noses are similar.

"Seth!" she says with a big welcoming smile. "I've been waiting for you."

"Hi, Mom," he says with a smile and gives her a hug. I smile at their interaction. I know Seth is a big Mama's boy and I think it's adorable. They talk to each other on the phone every day and before he moved to Tampa he lived at home with her. She took care of him and they are very close. I admire their relationship.

"And you must be Jordyn," she says with a welcoming smile as she looks at me.

"Yes," I say nervously. "I'm Jordyn."

"You're just as beautiful as Seth described you. I heard so much about you. It's great to finally meet you," she says making me smile. "I'm Holly," she introduces herself.

"It's nice to meet you too," I smile back. I extend my hand to shake it but she pulls me into a hug surprising me. I hug her back with a smile.

"Come on in and get settled," she says as she allows us to walk in. Seth grabs my bag and walks in behind me. I am taken by the smell of apple cinnamon as we walk into the door and his childhood home is even more welcoming inside. The floors are wooden and the front door has us entered into the living room. I look around the living room and there's blue couch and love seat with a smaller TV on an entertainment center. The pictures on the wall are pictures of Seth and his older brother. "Can I get you anything to drink?" she asks.

"I'll have some water please," I answer.

"I'll have some tea," says Seth.

"All right," she says in her mid-western accent. "I'll be right back. Don't be shy here, Jordyn, make yourself comfortable. Seth can give you a tour of the house if you would like."

"That would be great," I say with a smile. She disappears off to the kitchen which is the next room over as Seth and I settle down into the living room. "Is that you?" I ask pointing to a picture of a little boy about the age of 6 years old.

"Yes," he says with a smile as he sits on the couch. "What?" he asks as I sit down next to him and he wraps his arm around me.

"You were so cute," I say with a smile. "We're going to have cute kids one day."

"As long as they look like you," he says with a smile before he kisses my forehead. "How are you feeling with all of this?"

"I'm okay," I say. "Things like this make me a little nervous though."

"I know but just relax everything is going to be okay. I promise," he says.

"Okay," I say with a smile as I lean in and kiss his lips softly. We are interrupted by Holly coming into the living room clearing her throat softly. I pull away breaking out soft kiss, feeling my face turn red at being caught. "I'm sorry," I apologize.

"You're all right, Honey," she says as she hands us our drinks. "So what do you think of Iowa so far?" she asks.

"Mom, we just got here. She hasn't seen much of Iowa," he says. "And there isn't really much to see here in this small town. We don't even have a traffic light. I'm sure this is much different than where she comes from and where she grew up," he says.

"I'm sure," says Holly. "Where are you from, Jordyn?"

"Well, I was born in New York, then when I was about 5 we moved to Phoenix and now I live in Tampa."

"Big cities," she says with a smile, "this is really different than what you're used to isn't it?"

"Really different but I like it. I like small towns," I say as I take Seth's into mine as I take a sip of my water.

"How was your flight coming in?" she asks.

"It was good," answers Seth, "it wasn't as long as I expected but I was happy when we landed."

"You two need to come here more often," she says with a smile. "And Jordyn, I heard you have a son, named Jonah?"

"Yes," I say with a smile. "I have a son named Jonah. He is everything to me and Seth has done such a great job with him. He loves Seth so much." She smiles. "He is pretty much your grandson now that Seth has adopted him."

"I can't wait to meet him. How come you didn't bring him with you?" she asks.

"Because this time we just wanted it to be us I promise next time we will bring him," I say.

"Wonderful," she says with a smile. "So Seth told me you're in college, what are you going to college for?"

"I'm in school to be a drug and alcohol counselor," I answer.

"That's an interesting choice, what made you choose that career?" she asks and my smile fades. Telling my boyfriend's mother that I used to be an addict isn't something I want to share with her the first time I meet her. That needs to wait a bit because I want her to know me first before I give her anything she can judge me negatively on but before I can stop myself I spit out the truth.

"When I was younger I fell into a bad crowd and I made some bad choices. Choices that led me to become a heroin addict," I say as Seth squeezes my hand for support.

"You were a heroin addict?" she asks surprised. "I never thought someone like you would be an addict."

"That's the thing about addicts and drugs, anyone can become an addict," I say honestly. "Addiction doesn't care if you're rich, poor, young, old, white, black whatever it doesn't matter one time with heroin and it is ready to rob you of your entire life. I have been sober for 3 years. I got clean for Jonah and for myself. That's why I moved to Tampa to get away from that life. I went to a drug rehab and worked hard to get sober. I started living again when I got out of rehab. I decided that I wanted to go to school to get a degree to help others that are dealing and struggling with addiction. I want to help them find their worth and see they can live again. I want to help people," I explain.

"I see," she says, "that sounds like a good plan. You're not interested in the wrestling business?"

"Honestly I only watch wrestling because of Seth. I support him and his career but the wrestling business isn't for me. My brother in law is a wrestler and my brother is a wrestler."

"That's good at least you have some knowledge of the business," she says, "because I am completely lost. I just know Seth has always wanted to be a wrestler and he has worked hard to get where he is and I am proud of him."

"Me too," I say with a smile.

"So tell me about your parents, Jordyn what are they like, what do they do?" she asks.

"Well, my mama is a stay at home mom but she has numerous women's shelters all over the US to help women that have escaped abusive relationships and my father he is a movie star and has been in a couple movies and he is a retired wrestler," I answer.

"Wow, so you grew up in the business?"

"I did, it has been a part of my life since I was a baby but my dad left for a bit to be in movies."

"I see," she says. "Sounds like you grew up with an interesting family."

"That's an understatement," I say.

"So you two are living together?" she asks.

"Yes," answers Seth as he strokes my fingers with his thumb. "Jordyn moved in a few weeks ago."

"Are there any big plans for the future I should know about?"

"Like what?" he asks.

"I don't know marriage, kids? Do you two have your future together planned out?" she asks.

"We have talked about marriage and we plan to get married which was part of the point of me adopting Jonah not just that but I love him. I just haven't asked her yet but someday I will. We're going to get married but probably not until Jordyn gets out of school."

"That's wonderful," she says with a smile. "Jordyn, Seth talks so highly of you. He really loves you and he's really proud of you. I can tell that you make him really happy. I enjoy hearing his happiness in his voice whenever he talks about you. You seem like a great woman for him and I'm happy that you can support him in his career."

"I'm going to be his number 1 fan when he finally gets to WWE," I say with a smile.

"I have always been his number 1 fan," she says, "I'm glad I can share that with someone now. I never had a daughter. I only had two sons so I'm looking forward to having a daughter. I look forward to getting to know you."

"I look forward to getting to know you too," I smile.

"All right," says Seth, "Let me give you a tour of the house although you've pretty much seen it all."

"Okay," I say with a smile as he stands up and pulls me up with him. He scoops me up in his arms making me squeal. "PUT ME DOWN!" I squeal.

"I'm going to give you a tour," he smiles and I mouth to Holly that I am sorry for her son's behavior but she just smiles and shakes her head as I wrap my arms around his neck. He takes me through the house showing me the kitchen and showing me their backyard before he takes me upstairs. He shows me the bathroom, where his mom's room is and where his older brother's room is and then he carries me down the hall to his childhood bedroom. "And this is my bedroom," he says as he walks into the room and places me down on my feet.

"This was your bedroom?" I ask with a smile as I look around. The walls are painted white, but decorated with pictures of old school WWE wrestlers like Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, pictures of Hulk Hogan and pictures of cars. There are sports trophies on shelves and on his old bed his Hulk Hogan wrestling buddy is sitting in the middle of his bed. I take a seat on his bed and pick it up. "You really have a passion for this business huh?"

He takes a seat beside me and says, "It's something I always wanted to do since I was a little boy. I don't know it was always exciting. I used to play wrestling with my brother all the time when I was little and then I got more serious about it. At 14 I decided THIS is what I wanted to do. This was something I needed to do. I haven't changed my mind since and my mom has always supported me. She wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea but she has grown to accept it. Of course she made me go to college to have a backup plan but I want to do this my WHOLE life with you and Jonah by my side."

"Of course I'll always be there for you," I say, "I'll always support you. I want to see you live your dreams the only thing I am worried about," I say looking down at his wrestling buddy.

"What is it, Jordyn?"

"The main issue with my parents has always been faithfulness. My dad cheated on my mom a few times while he was out on the road. That was the main reason for most of their problems and I hated hearing them fight. I wish they would have divorced and not stayed together for what was best for us but they learned to tone down the fighting. I know about ring rats and I know about the girls that wait outside hotel rooms and bars for a chance at a wrestler. I just don't want you to get lonely out on the road and sleep with someone else. That scares me because I REALLY fucking love you and if you cheated on me my heart would shatter."

"Jordyn," he says. "I would never do that. I am not the cheating type of person. I wouldn't do that to you I promise."

"Really?" I ask.

"Yes, really," he says with a smile. "You're it for me. You're everything to me. I would never jeopardize what we have for any girl on the road. Besides just traveling a few weekends the last thing at the end of the night I am thinking about is going out or anything. I just want to sleep and talk to you. I love you, J I would never hurt you like that. Does that make you feel a little better?"

"Yeah," I say with a smile. "Do you think your mom likes me?"

"I think she loves you," he says with a smile. "So would you ever want to move here and live?"

"I don't know," I answer, "maybe someday when you have your career established and I have mine, I wouldn't mind moving here but it's so small."

"That's the beauty of it. No one is going to track us down in Iowa. Tampa is like WWE's Hollywood but if you want to stay in Tampa we can do that too."

"I have to think about it, you and I have to talk about it. Right now I am just trying to get through school and raise Jonah."

"Yeah we have some time," he says. "I love you, Jordyn."

"I love you too," I respond with a smile. He smiles and presses his soft lips on mine and kisses me softly, his tongue sliding into my mouth, flicking mine and twisting with mine. His hands cupping my chin as he kisses me, my hands running and combing through his hair, I kiss him back with a burning passion. He lays me down on his bed and covers my body with his. I pull away, "Seth, what about your mom?"

"She's downstairs," he says with a shrug, "and I want you now. We'll make it quick," he says as he keeps me pinned down on the bed as he sits up to remove his shirt exposing his chest. I take hands over his chest, combing through his chest hair. I run my hands up over his shoulders and wrap my arms around his neck pulling him down on top of me so I can kiss him again.

We are interrupted by his phone buzzing between us. "Let it go," I say as it keeps buzzing. "Take my shirt off," I say as his phone keeps buzzing.

"What if it is Roman and Tay?" he asks sitting up.

"Just check, if it's not then ignore it," I demand.

"Okay," he says as he pulls his phone out of his pocket as it stopped buzzing. "It was WWE," he says. "I have to call them back," he says.

"Okay," I say as I prop myself up on my elbows as he calls the number back as he keeps me pinned down on the bed.

"Hey, this is Seth," he announces on the phone. "Yeah, I have a minute," he says as I watch him. "When?" he asks. "Oh my God. That's great. Of course," he says and a smile on his face grows. "Yeah," he says. I mouth what to him but he doesn't respond. "Thank-you!" he says. "Thank-you so much," he says before he hangs up the phone. He jumps up off of me and onto the floor and does a victory dance.

"What, Seth?" I ask sitting up.

"Baby, I'm going to WWE!" he says. "I just got my call up!"

"Oh My God!" I say as I jump up off the bed and into his arms, screaming and hugging him. "Baby!" I say with excitement. "I am so happy congratulations. What are you going to do?" I ask.

"They aren't sure."

"When do you debut?" I ask as he wraps his arms around me.

"They aren't sure. They are working on a storyline for me. They said they will have more details but I am officially on the WWE roster."

"I am so happy for you, Baby," I say before I kiss him softly and passionately.

"What's going on?" asks his mom as he comes into his room interrupting our celebration.

"Mom," he says looking at her, "I'm going to WWE. I got my call!"

"Seth!" she says as she walks over to him. I move back so she can hug him. "I'm so proud of you. All this hard work, it paid off for you. I am so happy for you," she said hugging him tightly. "Jordyn," she says opening their hug. "You get in here too," she says making me smile. I walk over and join in their hug as we hug in celebration of Seth finally getting his job in WWE. It is beautiful to see and I couldn't be any happier for Seth. He has wanted this for a long time but him going to WWE means that our lives are going to change drastically. I'm not sure I am ready for that change. Not yet.

*A/N: How do you think the meeting with Seth's mom went for JOrdyn? Do you think Seth's mom likes Jordyn? What do you think of Seth finally getting his call to WWE?
