The Elven district was in full spring bloom and the perfumed air wafted into the bedroom of Aidan and Neasa Darach as they lay sleeping. At 9:20, Neasa woke with a start, her husband opening his eyes at her touch. "It's time." Though it was not close, they had decided that unless nature's course insisted otherwise, they would give birth in the exclusive hospital within the Tir Nation. They met their Midwife at the dock who helped Neasa settle in for the 90 min cruise to the Elven Lands. The twins seemed willing to abide by the plans, and though Neasa struggled with contractions throughout the duration of the trip, she arrived at the pristine hospital still able to walk on her own. Seven hours later, the elven couple was each in the possession of a tiny wonder, Neasa cradling Malachi and Aidan cooing softly to Maire. Both children had undergone a series of tests to ensure their prolonged health and when the doctor arrived to share the results, both parents were worried at the complex look they received. Dr. Kavanaugh assured them that both children were in perfect health, but that there was an unusual annomoly. The children, first assumed fraternal as they were of different gender, appear to be the first known set of identical twins of different genders. The only differing genetic marker seemed to be that which determined sex. Kavanaugh explained how important such a discovery could be and urged the parents to consent to further testing but the couple refused. If the children were healthy, then they were eager to begin their family. No further testing was authorized, and that afternoon, the Darach's returned to their home.
