The correct term would be allele, not gene. There is no allele for having twins.
Twins are born as a result of several environmental and chance factors, such as the release of two eggs instead of one (caused by hormone imbalances at certain times, which has several causes of its own) or the random extra division occurring in the fertilised zygote (which is much a random event, although possibly also depending on hormone levels). There is no allele that results in a given person always giving birth to twins.

What is the chance of having twins if your grandmother and grandfather were both fraternal twins and your half sister had twins AND you have a half sis and half bro that are fraternal twins?
The mother carries the twin gene and can pass it onto her children. However, only her daughters can give birth to twins. Her sons can inherit the twin gene and pass that onto their daughters, who can give birth to twins. But her sons will only become fathers of twins if their wife has the twin gene. So the chances of having twins if your husband is a twin is not possible unless you have the gene. However, if your grandfather passed the gene to his daughter (your mother) and she passed the gene to you, then, yes you could have twins if your grandfather is a twin.
