Sonny and Marcus were born on 12th December 2041 at three am, to parents Craig and Michelle Douglas. Michelle had been aware of the fact that she was due twins, however she had kept Craig in the dark, feeling sure that he would insist on her having a abortion.
When Craig turned up at the hospital, at four am, keen to meet the child he had not wanted to know the sex of, although he had been hoping for a boy, he was shocked to be met with twins. Sonny looked amazingly beautiful, his brother however wasn't anything he had expected or wished for. Marcus suffered from the condition that had become so prevalent of recent times.
Dicephalus parapagus dipus wasn't a condition he was familiar with by name. He was however, very familiar with the term 'threetwins'. He had, in the past, cursed families for being so naive as to not abort their twins, with this condition looming over them.
Craig had cursed everyone who worked in the hospital. He was so vicious with his verbal expletives that the police were called. By time they arrived Craig had found out that Michelle had known about them having twins and his anger was no longer directed towards the doctors and nurses, it was directed towards his wife.
This anger was a volcano desperately wanting to erupt, but his love for his wife kept the eruption at bay.
Instead he left the hospital, went home, packed his bags and left Michelle with the two children.
