Twin characters in a work of modern fiction come in all sorts (though they have a disproportionate tendency to be identical). However, when twins are born over the course of the story (as part of a Babies Ever After or otherwise), they are almost always male and female fraternal twins. Fraternal twins are more common in Real Life. (Identical twins are, of course, always the same sex; applying this trope to a pair of identical twins is usually a mistake.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 × 10^27 [that's about 1 in 5 octillion], given that each parent has about a (1 in 6.4 × 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.)
Why does this happen? The birth of a boy and a girl instantly creates a fully formed family of father, mother, son, and daughter, putting all of the family relationship tropes into play, without any perceived bias by making the boy or girl older and in an authority position over the other. These twins are frequently the first and only children of their parents. Compared to other twins in fiction, it's more rare for these twin pairs to include an Evil Twin or be Separated at Birth. While they are occasionally Half-Identical Twins, more frequently one resembles the mother and the other the father. Bonus points if one of the parents is also a twin, bringing it full circle.
This trope is less prominent in mythology due to the blurred lines between story and backstory. In ancient myths or works like the The Silmarillion that are deliberately mythological, the birth of twin brothers is much more common. The birth of twin sisters is generally rare in all media.
Especially common for firstborn twins in a small Nuclear Family. If twins are born into a large family that already has more than one child of the other sex, 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 supernatural or 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.
A frequent trope in Soap Opera, although due to the sheer volume of twins in decades-long soaps this is also occasionally averted.
If the parents are the main characters and the twins are infants, it's this trope. If the twins are the main characters and the parents gave birth to them offscreen in the past, it's not. Childbirth scenes are usual but not absolutely required as long as the pregnancy and the twins as small infants are both shown.
Frequently combined with Spin-Offspring. Contrast Separated at Birth, which is a backstory trope for older twin characters. |

The babies are a combination of this trope and Dead Guy Junior; the daughter is named Mercy, after Beauty's younger sister who died, and the son is named Richard, after his paternal grandfather. |

In the Dollanganger Series, this happens twice. First, Chris and Corinne have twins Cory and Carrie; many years later, Cathy's son Jory and his wife Melodie have twins Darren and Deirdre. Jory's twins are born after he's paralyzed in a stage accident, so Cathy describes it as "a special gift, sent straight from heaven" that he still gets to have the son and daughter that he always wanted. |

Dune Messiah: Leto II and Ghanima. This one also subverts the usually-unplayed Twincest angle: Leto marries Ghanima, but it's for political purposes. It's not like he could have sex with her or anyone else for that matter anyway; his blending with the sandtrout made that impossible. Ghanima's children are actually and not-so-secretly fathered by Prince Farad'n Corrino, grandson of former Emperor Shaddam IV. |

The Flintstones: In the movie "Hollyrock-a-bye Baby", Pebbles gives birth at the end to her first child with her husband Bamm-Bamm, which turns out to be a set of boy/girl twins; son Chip and daughter Roxy. The daughter looks like her father (and has his Super-Strength) and the son looks like his mother; see the page pic. |

Discussed on an episode of Super Password. Host Bert Convy claimed he could predict the sex of an unborn baby by placing his hands on a pregnant woman's stomach. The one time he didn't know, the woman eventually give birth to twins: one boy and one girl. |

In the final installment of Gardens Inc, Jill and Mike are expecting their first child. 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!" Sure enough, it's this trope. The twins are seen at the end of the main campaign, although the game never reveals their names. |

In The Thrawn Trilogy, Leia gives birth to Jacen and Jaina; in Dark Empire she had another boy, Anakin. During the New Jedi Order, it was found that the Scary Dogmatic Aliens have superstitions about twins, so Shmi Skywalker's surviving descendants were able to take advantage of that. Tellingly, Anakin, the only single birth in the clan, was the only one who died there. |

The Newman twins Josh and Sophie from The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series. One has the rare gold aura while the other has the equally rare silver aura. Of course they are the twins of legend. This gets shot to hell in the final book with The Reveal that not only are they not really twins, they're not even related. Their parents found Josh during prehistoric times while Sophie was found on the Steppes of Russia. They were raised as brother and sister. |

The Brittas Empire: There’s an odd subversion with Carole, who initially gave birth to a boy and girl (Tom and Emily Parkinson) at the end of Series 2. Tom was then retconned to a girl (now known as Jessica) in Series 5, making them single-sex twins. |

In The Wheel of Time series, one of Min's viewings says Elayne's pregnancy will result in twins, a daughter and a son. As of The Towers of Midnight Min's viewings have never yet been wrong, so this trope will almost certainly come to pass. In an interesting mythological twist, one theory is that they will be the reincarnation of the twin Heroes of the Horn Shivan and Calian, whose coming heralds the end of an Age.
The same viewing, and a vision of the future in Rhuidean, also show that Aviendha will get a double dose of this trope: fraternal quadruplets, two sons and two daughters. |

Earth's Children: Shortly after liberating the Three Sisters Camp from Attaroa in the fourth book, Ayla helps deliver fraternal twins, a boy and a girl, who are the first babies born to the Camp for some time. Ayla and S'Armuna take this as a good omen that better times are ahead. |

Played straight on Little House on the Prairie when Nellie gives birth to twins. It's especially contrived since she and her Jewish husband had agreed beforehand that if the baby was a boy, he'd be raised Jewish; if a girl, Christian. Both sets of grandparents have therefore been very anxious about the whole matter. |

In the same universe, Escape of Salmhofer the Witch features the titular Meta Salmhofer and the conception of her twins, Hänsel and Gretel. Having a pair of boy and girl twins was the intended result of the medical impregnation, in an attempt to reincarnate twin gods. |

Subverted on ER with Doug and Carol's twins, which were both girls. Interesting, since the previous season, the audience had gotten a pretty strong hint that this trope would have been played straight. (A psychic patient who claimed to be able to see inside people was trying to decipher if Carol was having a boy or a girl. Her expression seemed to indicate that it was both.) |

At the end of Collin Raye's "One Boy, One Girl" the couple find out that the woman is pregnant with twins. The twins being one boy and one girl makes the Dual-Meaning Chorus work— the first two times the chorus is about the couple's love for each other (and they are the titular boy and girl), and the last time it's about their love for their children and excitement to be parents. |
