(AP) - Giving birth to two sets of is a rare occurrence. But, what is even rarer is having two sets of twins where one looks like her white mother and the other looks like her black father.
For a British couple, this happened to them for the second time in seven years.
They have a second set of fraternal twins, both sets look as different as their mother and father, who are black and white.
Seven years ago Alison Spooner and Dean Durrant welcomed daughters Lauren, who takes after her mother, and Hayleigh, who takes after her father.
"Honestly didn't think that it would happen again. I thought that we'd have two of the same. Well I didn't think that we'd have twins again for a start," Spooner said.
This time baby Miya has her father's dark skin, while Leah looks like her mother.
Doctors said the phenomenon is so rare that there are no statistics to illustrate the probability of it happening.
