One in a million: Second pair of black and white twins

A British couple defies the odds again, giving birth to a second set of black and white twin girls.
  
Seven years ago Alison Spooner and Dean Durrant welcomed daughters Lauren, who looks like mom and Hayleigh, who resembles dad. When the couple announced earlier this year that they were having another set of twins, they didn't think lightening would strike twice.

"I was blown away as the rest of them, you know. There's no easy way to explain it all. I feel  like I'm still in shock myself, even thought the first ones were seven years ago. It's amazing but we love them just the same," said father, Dean Durrant.

This time baby Miya has her father's dark skin, while Leah looks like her mother. Doctors say the phenomenon is so rare that there are no statistics to illustrate the probability of it happening.. But one doctor says, for this to  happen twice, must be one in millions.
