Thank you so much ladies. Knowing there is an explanation for it makes it easier on us. We will wait for the u/s in 3 weeks and I just so much pray it is a hiding baby

It's possible the second twin was absorbed into the mother. It does happen, I am sorry if this is a loss. Hopefully the other twin pops up next time, so fingers crossed!
My previous pregnancy resulted in a missed miscarriage and my baby was absorbed. Sadly, it happens. It happens most often though when a twin passes but the other survives.
Another possibility is that the first baby never developed.
With having a viable twin still there, the body will just absorb the other that didn't form. This will be why your sister hasn't had bleeding if she really did suffer a loss. The body would naturally protect the current survivor, after all if it expelled the lost twin, it could also expell the survivor.
Hoping it's just a case of a hiding baby!
