Rome Flynn and Reign Edwards on The Bold and the Beautiful

Maya and Rick want a sibling for their little one and have asked Nicole to once again be their surrogate on The Bold and the Beautiful.

Nicole (Reign Edward s) selflessly bore a child for her sister Maya and her husband Rick. Her decision caused problems between her and boyfriend, Zende, who was never fully on board with the move. Now, Maya and Rick have asked Nicole to carry another baby for them. Zende (Rome Flynn) quickly voiced his disapproval over their audacious request, leaving Nicole with a big decision to make.

Future with Zende
Nicole’s already gone above and beyond for Maya, according to 97% of fans. You want her to get out of the do-gooder business and concentrate on her own happiness. Namely, her relationship with Zende. Furthermore, you think Maya and Rick asking Nicole to deliver another child for them–so soon–is kind of on the selfish side.

Give Maya Another Baby
Since Maya (Karla Mosley) can’t have a child of her own, 2% of you think Nicole should consider her request. It’s the right thing to do for her sister and would keep things in the family. Plus, it makes more sense than having Maya and Rick (Jacob Young) have to look elsewhere for a surrogate.

Kiddie Quandary
While you understand Maya and Rick’s point of view regarding their surrogate request, you also feel for Nicole, who just got her life back on track. That’s why 2% of you are in a kiddie quandary, unable to choose what the solution should be.
