return child objects in linq query

Question

 I have this object questionEntity and it has questionCategory as a child object that is linked based on the QuestionID that i will have when using this query, is there a way i can incorporate returning the proper instance of the question category child object in this query?

            Entities.QuestionsEntity questionEntity = (from q in meta.Questions
                                                    where q.Question == questionText
                                                    select q)
                                              .IncludeFields(f => f.AuthorId, f => f.Question, f => f.QuestionId, f => f.Answer)
                                              .FirstOrDefault();
