Unless they have reasons to have the exact same items the babies had on their meteors after their own bouts in ectobiology, yeah, it's definitely just copy babies.

Here's where it was confirmed: http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006607

I remember it being hotly debated in this thread in the early parts of the act, but this page was the point where everyone accepted that this was how it worked.

Edit: Also the page before that explicitly shows the duplication - http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006606

Fun genetics aside -- it is possible (but astronomically unlikely) for a pair of siblings to reproduce and get two children that are genetically identical to their parents. A somewhat similar (but still extremely, extremely rare) happened with a mule in Nebraska once.

Are we certain that the retroactive switching of the portals during the Scratch caused the babies to duplicate (with one copy going through the Beta portal and one through the Alpha), or could the Alpha kids wind up running their own ectobiology session to create the Beta kids in one cross-universe double mobius reacharound?

Don't forget that all the stuffed bunnies that John was handing out showed with their respective kids in the post-scratch universe. Even more damning is that Jane has inherited the Sassacre book from her grandfather, and it's the one Nannasprite wrote in back in the Medium. Also Rose has said that this is what is happening, and I really see no reason to assume that there is another explanation we haven't heard yet.

Whatever happens, it is still my utmost hope that the comic somehow ends with a character arriving in 1996 and presenting Jerry Bruckheimer with the Con Air bunny during film production.

Speaking of which, there's been one player mysteriously absent from all these "who else is gonna get trickster'd" suppositions, possibly the most important and dangerous factor that hasn't seen the spotlight in a while.

Trickster Mode Jack would be the single scariest thing in all of Homestuck.:stonk:

Of all the characters in this story so far, I think the Courtyard Droll is the one most likely to be willing to become Tricksterized. He's going to get an awesome hat as a trickster, right?

Narratively I just know something's going to sabotage Roxy's ability to escape being candified here, but I'm still rooting for her to avoid such a delicious fate.

This would be both cool, and fitting with all the self-generating time loops. In fact, I'd almost wonder if there would be a way that it still might happen, if not for the fact that we did in fact see an explosive and firey end point for the poor bunny. :(

Although speaking of rabbits, I wonder if Lil' Seb surviving is going to have any relevance. If he's just going to end up as a background mascot buddy for team evil space pimp, or if the fact that he's there to see just all of what Caliborn and Gamzee are going to do means he can end up somehow helping or relaying important information later.

Deathlok-style Lil' Seb, with his past, present and future selves in conversation through time? Could be something there.
