“APPRECIATING Caitlyn: Caitlyn was a gold Olympic medalist for gymnastics. She held the gold medal for 4 olympic events, which was the Summer and Winter Olympics. Caitlyn had won the Gold in 2018 and 2014 for the Winter Olympics and she won Gold in 2016 and 2012 for the summer Olympics. Caitlyn dropped out of the Olympics after last years victory because she wanted to begin a family. She began doing gymnastics when she was 6 years old and was in the highest skilled class by the time she was 11. Caitlyn first went for the Olympics when she was 16 years old and only stopped last year. We hope she makes a return to win America a gold medal once again,"
Jake grinned as he turned off the Tv and looked to his girlfriend of 5 years as she did some weird yoga shit on the floor. “People love you, Caitlyn.” Caitlyn scoffed from her position on the floor, “Yeah, ok. I’m pretty sure they love you more than me,” Caitlyn said as she wrapped her leg around the back of her neck. Jake shuddered as she pulled an unnatural position and bunked further up the sofa with a small hiss of pain.
Caitlyn immediately unfolded herself and walked over to him with a frown, “Is your knee playing up again?” Caitlyn asked, already getting the medicine. “A little,” Jake admitted. Caitlyn suddenly gasped, “Oh, remember you’ve got that interview in 1 hour, the make-up and hair guys should be here soon so you need to take your drugs,” Caitlyn said, her voice distant from the kitchen. “But they knock me on my ass,” Jake complained. “Would you rather be on your ass or in pain?” Caitlyn asked, her voice amused. “On my ass,” Jake admitted.

“Can you tell me about any on-deck jokes or injuries?” The interviewer asked. “Yeah, I can,” Caitlyn said. The interviewer nodded as she turned to Caitlyn, “I was part of the safety aid team and I helped prepare the pilots for safe ejections and keeping themselves alive when stranded. I helped Bradley, Natasha and Jake prepare for some slightly more difficult stunts, more so than Jake, though.” Jake laughed and the interviewer smiled. “We also had this ongoing prank war were it would be small things like stealing shoes, replacing chairs, putting salt in water… stuff like that. And I was showing Jake how do get out of his plane safely from a high distance without a parachute.” She turned with a smile. “Didn't your suit catch on the canopy or something?” She asked. He nodded. “Yeah, so when he jumped, his suit snagged.”
“Yeah, I landed funny on my knee and ended up breaking it in 2 places. it was the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced,"

“Come on, Jake! You can do it!” Caitlyn called from in front of the jet. Jake took a deep breath and shook his hands to the side before throwing his leg over the side.
His suit snagged on the canopy, sending him crashing to the ground with a loud snap. “Jake!” Caitlyn yelled, already making her way over to him. “FUCK!” He yelled, clutching his leg. Caitlyn fell to her knees beside him. “Oh shit, are you ok?” Caitlyn fretted. Tears poured out of Jake’s eyes and Caitlyn yelled for help. Bob was walking on when he heard Caitlyn shouting for medical. Bob ran off and dragged medical to where Caitlyn was currently trying calm a crying Jake. Medical took one look at his leg, which was now rapidly swelling up, and called 911.
Turns out that Jake had broken his knee in 2 different places and wouldn’t be allowed to fly for 6-10 months.

The interviewer left and so did her team. When they’d properly left with nobody left in the house, Jake turned to Caitlyn and placed his hands on her stomach.
“And nobody suspected a thing,” He said cheekily.
Caitlyn grinned, “And they won’t for a while,”
