Ok...must be a Portuguese term. There are two kinds of twins. One comes after fertilization, when the cells split in to two...or something like that. These are 'true' twins and are completely identical. They are always of the same sex. The other kind comes from two eggs being fertilized. They are born at the same time, but in practice are not identical. So they can be boy and girl and their apearence can difer. That is this case. So my question was if in this case they are born in seperate cauls.

Since Iohannes and Annika have each their gender, they can't be identical twins, and have therefore had each their placenta. Hence this occurence.
