How should I end my short story?

I write short stories as a hobby. I’m currently working on a story in which a set of indentical twin men marry identical twin women. The women get pregnant at the same time and give birth on the same day. They both have a girl. The hospital mixes up the babies and now no one knows which baby belongs to which couple. I like to keep my stories as scientifically accurate as possible. Suppose this actually happened in real llife, would there be a way to identify the babies? I know DNA testing wouldn’t work because both sets of parents are genetically identical.
