Ian and Isabell (Izzy) Gallagher  were born May 11, 1996 just two minutes apart. From the start they had a special connection , holding each other in the hospital. They would share a one seat stroller or even split a cookie so neither would be hungrier than the other. When they were five , their mother, Monica, threw them a big birthday party in the park with all the neighborhood kids. Monica wasn't paying attention as usual and a man tried to kidnap Izzy. Ian was on the other side of the playground where there was no way to see Izzy, but he got their older sister, Fiona's attention. After Izzy was safe, Fiona asked how Ian knew Izzy was in trouble. Ian couldn't explain it, he just had a feeling. This strange "feeling" happened more as they got older as well. When they were 10, Ian got into a fight on his way home from the store. Before or he even got home Izzy asked their neighbor Ve, who was a nurse, to come over. About 5 minutes later Ian walked in with a bloody nose and a sprained wrist. When they were 12, Fiona asked them to put away groceries and she watched as they would toss each other things without even looking. This "feeling" also came in handy when they were 18 and Ian went for a drive after a fight with Fiona and they couldn't find him for almost 12 hours. Izzy had a feeling he was somewhere near a gas station on Rt 89. Sure enough, when they drove down 89, they found his car out of gas and picked him up as he was getting to the gas station about three miles down.  Even now on their 20th birthday, they enjoy freaking out their family and friends by blowing out their candles at the same time with their eyes closed.
