Author's Notes – New chapter! I'm really having fun writing this fic, and it's nice to be doing a comedy rather than a drama for once. Now if only I could update those other fics and stop writing new ones I'd be good, right?

A HUGE thank you goes out to everyone who reviewed (especially those who expressed support/sympathy with my MIL situation)! I don't think I've had this kind of reaction to a fic in a long time and it really makes me happy to see that people like it. Also, your reviews do inspire me to write more of this, so please keep them coming!

As far as the timeline for this fic…let's say this is about a month before Mama Benjamin makes her debut with Shelton.

Finally, it's time for some cheap plugs…check out my site, The WWE Fan Fiction Library, where you can find some of the best wrestling fan fiction out there! And voting is about to start at several fic awards sites, links to them can be found on my site's main page…this story is nominated (at WrestleFic I believe) so votes are appreciated when the time comes!

Disclaimer – I own nothing that is recognized. Don't sue me, you really won't get much.

Mama's Inquisition

"Mama, mama," Shelton said as he gently slapped at his unconscious mother's face.

"I told you telling her so quickly wasn't a good idea," Candice said as she placed her jacket under Shelton's mother's head.

"I was a fine idea; she just must not have been feeling well after her flight." Shelton took Candice's hand to reassure her when suddenly his mother stirred. "I think she's coming to Mama?"

"Shelton, baby," she said as she opened her eyes. She smiled as she saw her boy kneeling next to her, but her smile quickly disappeared when Candice leaned over to check on her.

"Are you okay?" Candice asked now twice as nervous as she had been before.

"I'm fine," she grumbled, "low blood-sugar you know. The plane food is always so terrible, so I thought I'd just wait until I saw my baby boy to eat. Guess I was a bit weaker than I thought."

"Well then let's get you out of here and we'll go grab lunch," Shelton suggested as he helped her up. "You okay to walk Mama?"

"I'll be fine as long as you keep hold of me baby," she cooed as she turned to Candice, "and Carrie, be a dear and get my bags will you?" Candice forced a smile and nodded picking up the bags and following the mother and son out of the airport.

"Pass me the ketchup, will you baby," Mama Benjamin said sweetly as the three sat in a cozy booth at a Friday's enjoying lunch. "So Cathy, what exactly is it that you do?"

"It's Candice," she said forcing another smile as she put down her fork to her Caesar salad. "And I work with Shelton."

"You must be the make-up girl or hairstylist; pretty little thing like you would be too afraid to get in the ring like my baby does," Mama said proudly.

"Actually, Mama, Candice is one of the Diva's," Shelton corrected.

"Don't talk with your mouth full baby," Mama scolded. "You're one of the Diva's, huh? Now do you actually know how to work it in the ring or do you just jump up and down out of it to make the boys happy?'

"Well, I'm learning to wrestle, and I'm getting better. They've been putting me in a lot of tag matches and the other girls are helping so much," Candice explained as Mama nodded slowly.

"I guess everyone can't have that natural talent for wrestling that my baby boy does," Mama beamed at her son as she turned her attention to him. "So what do they have planned for you on TV sweetie?"

"Well, right now they kind of have me on a losing streak until creative comes up with more of an idea," Shelton shrugged.

"We think they might be turning him heel soon which could be a great opportunity for him." Candice said squeezing her fiancée's hand.

"Don't be using that fancy industry talk with me girlie, I'm just a simple woman," Mama snapped startling Candice so much she let go of Shelton's hand.

"She means they might make me a bad guy Mama," Shelton laughed.

"Now how is your runnin' around that show acting like an ass a great opportunity?" Mama rolled her eyes. "I'm gonna talk to those creative people, let them know what kind of talent they've got."

Candice smiled and poked at her salad trying to think of how she was going to make it through the rest of Mama Benjamin's stay when Mama started asking her questions again.

"So you're a Diva, but do you have any other plans for your life should the WWE decide they don't need you anymore?" Mama asked bluntly. "I mean, those idiots fired my baby's friend Charlie and that lovely wife of his. Jackie, now that girl knew how to work it in the ring. But what about you?"

"Well, I was a model and actress before I found the WWE. I still do commercials and some promotional work for so I'd probably go back to doing all of that," Candice said.

"Models and actresses are a dime a dozen honey, and I don't want my boy here to marry some girl who will never have work that he'll have to support."

"I never…" Candice was cut off before she could even start by Mama.

"My boy's a smart boy and a talented boy too," Mama said reaching for Shelton's hand. "He doesn't need some girl who's just going to hold him down."

"Mama, Candi isn't going to hold me down," Shelton smiled as he looked to his nervous fiancée. "She supports me, and I support her. But I'm sure you'll see that as you two get to know each other." Shelton's mother smiled and nodded as Candice forced yet another smile mentally counting down the hours, minutes, and seconds until Mama would be leaving.
