I\u2019ve heard whispers. So we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\">So, it appears drama awaits the surrogate brothers as the year comes to a close.<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\">Meanwhile, regarding Jay\u2019s application for parental responsibility for Lexi, it sounds like issues will arise for the family over this legal matter in particular.<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\">\u201cIt\u2019s in the making,\u201d confirms Borthwick. \u201cRegarding that, regarding Lexi, there\u2019s a bit of an even keel with that and I think there\u2019s something in the pipeline that shows it\u2019s not all smooth rainbows.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\"
