To clear your doubt, read the bible preferably the book of Genesis so you will know how man scattered the whole earth and know the ancestors of the descendants of Adam and Eve.
There are many sons and daughters of Adam and Eve. There is no truth about the twins you are dreaming.

The Bible says that Adam and Eve had two sons, Cain and Abel. Cain killed his brother and went to another land where he took himself a wife and raised a family. If Adam and Eve were the only humans created by God, where did Cain get his wife?’
It was obviously from among his own family. His wife was one of his fleshly sisters, a daughter of Adam and Eve. Cain was likely married at the time he killed Abel, or shortly thereafter took one of his sisters as a wife. They then traveled together to the land of Fugitiveness, where they took up residence and started their own family.
“But such a union is incest!” some may object. This objection reflects knowledge of the risk to children when brothers and sisters marry in our day. These are frequently born with some physical deformity or mental incapacity. Thus most lands today have laws forbidding marriage between close fleshly relatives.
It must be remembered, however, that circumstances were different in earlier times. Adam and Eve were created perfect, and the instruction for them ‘to multiply and fill the earth’ would necessarily require that their offspring marry one another and reproduce. (Gen. 1:28) But as perfect humans, their children would have been perfect as were their parents.
Even though Adam and Eve sinned and became imperfect, Cain and his brothers and sisters were still so near to physical perfection that the children they produced did not suffer the same adverse effects as do children born of such unions today. Even some 2,000 years afterward, God’s faithful servant Abraham married his half-sister Sarah, and God did not disapprove. (Gen. 20:12) It was yet another 450 years or so before God saw fit to provide his nation of Israel a body of laws that forbade incest on penalty of death. (Lev. 18:8-17) By that time imperfection had apparently developed to such an extent that no longer was it safe for close relatives to marry.
So, really, the question of where Cain got his wife is not a difficult one. The answer is provided right within the Bible, and it becomes obvious when the Bible account is read carefully.

The bible tells us that Adam and Eve had Cain and Able and Seth and "other sons and daughters" but we are not told how many or in what configuration. Also, Adam lived to be almost 1,000 years old. That's a lot of kids.
The bible *DOES SAY* that Adam and Eve had both sons and daughters. It does not tell us how many of each.
"When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Adam lived 930 years, and then he died." - Genesis 5:3-5 NIV
Unless noteworthy, the bible omits females from genealogy. There could have been lots of girls and a few men. One man can impregnate many women. We have no way to know what configuration the kids were born in. The "one man one wife" rule wasn't imposed until much later. King Solomon had 700 wives and concubines (which, of course, means he had 700 mothers-in-law, but that's another story).
Also, think of this. Today, incest is a bad thing because it produces genetic mutations and increases the chance of recessive traits becoming dominant. If two people had perfect, or near-perfect, genetic structure, incest would have been the perfect way to maintain that perfect genetic code. Only after several generations of offspring would the genes be separate enough to produce the "problems" that we have today with incestuous breeding.

in the bible females were only recorded for a purpose the heritage blood line came through the male and the land ownership
in the beginning intermarriage was allowed -and then under moses the rules were narrowed to one man one woman and not related in close blood line
why not come to Jesus as I helped my relatives and others too too= and be a part of Jesus family the new adam without sin=and I led her mom and helped her dad my grandparents to let Jesus into their hearts too to be their messiah savior and best friend.

The Holy Bible does not speak of a female child being born to Eve. The females that were married by Cain and Seth are not explained to the best of my knowledge but has been a point Of discussion among Christians for years.

Adam and eve had many more children but there were the son's of God on earth at that time. where they were like us or not I can not say. today I do not think we need too worry how we all came. but even science has shown we came from 2 first humans by DNA

Cain and Abel were not the only children of Adam and Eve. They had many children and, though there may be some who don't want to admit it... much incest in those first days.

They obviously had either twin sisters or non twin sisters, but the Bible had no need to tell us all the details. Many details are left out of the Bible.

If you know a story to be fiction, why do you ask? There are many flaws in religions that came out of the middle east. You can pick it apart, try and find another meaning to it, or move on to a better book. I recommend the last one.
