Donald and Della were Hortense and Quackmore’s miracle babies.
According to Frank (before he deleted the post), in DT17, Donald and Della came from the same egg. In the real world, two ducklings forming in a single egg is incredibly rare, and usually only one survives hatching, if both don’t die.
In Don Rosa’s timeline, Quackmore and Hortense were 45 and 44 respectively when they had their twins, which is very late to have your first child, especially back in the 1920s, when pregnancy and neonatal care wasn’t as advanced as it is today.
Putting these two ideas together, here were Hortense and Quackmore, in their mid forties, knowing this new egg was their only chance to have a biological child.
But wait — suddenly they were told that there’s something wrong, there’s two babies in one egg, they’re squished together and there isn’t enough nutrients for both of them.
They’ll be lucky if one survives. Maybe neither will survive.
Hortense and Quackmore are devastated and wracked with anxiety through the incubation period.
But both babies seem to be doing alright.
And then, the twins hatch, and they’re both alive!
And they stay alive! They’re thriving!
And Hortense and Quackmore are the happiest, most grateful parents in the whole world, because when they thought they had lost their only chance at a baby, they got two babies instead!
And then they only get to spend a little over a decade with their miracle babies…
