Twin characters in a work of modern fiction come in all sorts (though they have a [[AlwaysIdenticalTwins disproportionate tendency to be identical]]). However, when twins are ''born'' over the course of the story (as part of a BabiesEverAfter or otherwise), they are almost always male and female fraternal twins. Fraternal twins are more common in RealLife. (Identical twins are, of course, always the same sex; applying this trope to a [[HalfIdenticalTwins pair of identical twins]] is usually a mistake.[[labelnote:Exceptions]]Turner Syndrome (only one X chromosome) can cause this with otherwise identical twins, and there is always the vanishingly small chance (the likelihood is somewhere in the ball park of 4.8 x 10^27 [that's about 1 in 5 octillion], given that each parent has about a (1 in 6.4 x 10^13 chance of creating an identical gamete [aka 1 in 64 trillion] that opposite sex fraternal twins will receive identical chromosomes with the exception of the sex chromosomes. Alternatively, one twin could be transgender, as is the case with Laverne Cox and her identical twin brother.[[/labelnote]])

Especially common for firstborn twins in a small NuclearFamily. If twins are born into a large family that already has more than one child of the other gender, this trope is more likely to be averted. When this trope is averted for other reasons it's a very bad sign, as one or both of the resulting children will usually be [[GooGooGodlike supernatural]] or [[EnfantTerrible evil]]. Mythological aversions tend to have different fathers or be destined to depose or kill each other. Aversions are usually still fraternal, though. It's rare to see infant identical twins in fiction, as they tend to appear fully formed at ages six to thirty.

The game is very clever about concealing from the player exactly what they're having until about midway through the game, when the pregnant Jill stresses herself into the hospital, at which time the doctor reveals she's carrying twins. The excited Mike declares that "I'm gonna be a double dad!" [[spoiler:Sure enough, it's this trope. The twins are seen at the end of the main campaign, although the game never reveals their names.]]

** Averted with the twins Helen gives birth to at the end of Series 3, who are Matthew and Mark Brittas.
