Cam and Aven don't have twins, the twins are Lilly and Eva. The likelihood may be slightly, but not much higher if they're fraternal twins and not any more likely if they're identical.
I know Cam and Aven aren't twins. I said they have twin sisters. The fraternal twin gene is passed down from mothers and Cam and Aven have the same mother who has already gave birth to fraternal twins (Lilly & Eva). I just wasn't sure in my original comment if you included that in your calculations. However as you just said in your reply to me that the percentage shouldn't be much higher so it's all good.

While I don't question your knowledge, I just remembered a story of an 18 century Russian peasant who had 87 children (from two consecutive wifes AFAIR). From the first wife he had 69 children, among them 16 pairs of twins, 7 triplets and 4 quadruplets. See Feodor Vassilyev for reference. That's the largest number of children ever born from a single woman.

Superlatives are, by definition, outliers.
