1) My mom asked me why the chicken and fish are not out on the table yet when she came into the kitchen. I told her that the chicken is still being cook and the fish is just cook/ready. I was about the take the fish out and come back to get the chicken.

You don't need 1) when there's no 2). (Haven't I said that before?)
