Special to The Uncredible Hallq
When Kylie Hodgson gave birth to twin daughters by caesarean section, she was just relieved that they had arrived safely.
It was only when the midwife handed them over for her to hold that she noticed the difference between them.
Remee, who weighed 5lb 15oz, was blonde and blue eyed. Her sister Kian, born a minute later weighing 6lb, had brown hair.
"It was a shock when I realised that my twins were two different colours," said Kylie, 19. "But it doesn't matter to us - they are just our two gorgeous little girls."
The amazing conception happened after two eggs were fertilised at the same time in the womb.
Both Kylie and her partner Remi Horder, 17, are of mixed hair color. Their mothers are both blondes and their fathers are brown.
According to the Multiple Births Foundation, baby Kian must have inherited the brown genes from both sides of the family, whilst Remee inherited the blonde ones.
"I'll explain it all to them when they get older about why they look so different," said their mother.
