John's hands trembled as he lifted the frame of the black wooden box. He wasn't supposed to see this. That is a fact. However, he had to see it. He needed to know the truth. He couldn't un-see the image of his parents discussing parts of the real process of getting John.  While he couldn't understand it completely then he still wanted to know how he really got to where he was. The first thing he saw inside this box was an old, faded photograph. The photograph was obviously taken on a holiday.  He saw a young woman with light brown hair and brown eyes smiling as a young boy sat on her lap.The boy was a splitting image of John.  Everything from the crooked smile to the messy brown hair to the big blue eyes. Next to them was a tall man with blue eyes and dark blonde hair holding an infant in his arms. The baby wore a knitted red hat and was wrapped up in some sort of snowman themed blanket. The gender of the baby was not clear. John flipped over the picture. He read the words that were scribbled in black ink.

The Jones family
Christmas 2008

"Ty, don't forget your hat. It's cold outside." Ty's mother rushed over and handed him a red knitted hat. 

Ty took it and placed it onto his head "Can Clave come with us to Nana's house?"  he asked, holding up a seemingly spotless brown teddybear who also wore a red hat.

His mother smiled and nodded " Of course. But we gotta hurry to the car, ok?"

Ty nodded and rushed to the car, clutching the brown bear in his hands. His mother walked over and made sure his seatbelt was on properly. She checked on the nearby infant, Alfred, and kissed his head before taking a seat herself.

"Are you ready to rock?" Ty's dad asked as he started the car and began backing out.

"Yeah!!" Ty grinned as '  Rockin' Around the Tree' was playing as the background music

He furrowed a brow and looked back at the picture. He felt like he had seen them before,  but he couldn't remember exactly when. He took out the next thing which happened to be a small brown teddy bear. The teddy bear was rather worn out considering some of it's limbs seemed to have been re-sewn onto it's body. The bear had some red stains. It wore a sweater resembling the one the boy in the photo wore which was in need of some washing.  John felt an instant pain in his stomach at the sight of it. 

As time went on, Ty began to get bored. He looked out the window and noticed snow began to fall.

" Oh, looks like the roads are gonna get icy.." Ty's father noted.

" I thought it wouldn't start until later" His mother commented.

" That's what the weather channel said"

" Should we stop somewhere?"

" Nah, it's not that bad"

Ty observed it and smiled,  however he began to feel sleepy and took a bit of a nap.

A half hour later Ty was abruptly awoken by the sound of tires screeching, metal breaking and screaming all at once. He felt something stab his leg and something else stab his lower back. His eyes widened as he felt the car hanging off a cliff. He looked to his right and grabbed Alfred out of instinct. He handed him to his mother as she and his father were trying to get out the children safely. Ty's father sat on the hood of the car to maintain balance and called 911.

" Tyler! Get out of there!" His mother shrieked " Climb out!"

Tyler however couldn't move due to his injuries and the dents that pinned him down and the car began to slip. His father tried desperately attempted to pull the car forward. However, nothing could be done and the car soon plummeted to the ground, crushing the boy to death.

" Tyler!!" His mother's jaw dropped and she began to cry.

John ended up finding envelopes and some news articles. One of them reading;

BOY DIES FATALLY IN CAR ACCIDENT AND HIS BODY IS FROZEN

He read the rest of it, the article talked in detail about the crash itself and how the family decided to preserve his DNA for future uses.  He read the other articles, which were about the same things over and over again.

When the police arrived on the scene, the first thing they found was the teddy bear that belonged to Tyler. They handed it to Tyler's father.

One of the officers pulled them aside "For medical purposes we must know if you would like Tyler's organs to be donated. I know this seems rushed but we don't have too much time"

Tyler's mother thought about it and seemed to not be opposed to the idea, however his father didn't seem to agree.

" That's insane! Why-"  He had tears fill his eyes

" Honey, think about it, we can still bury him"

" I know"

A medic began to rush over and looked at the parents with excitement " Sir. Ms. The team has a proposal to make- if you don't mind."

The couple gave a puzzled look but listened anyways as the medic whispered to them.  They both agreed and began signing the documents.

John read the first envelope, which was addressed from Mrs. Jones.

Tyler,

I don't know what your name is now, so I'm sorry if Tyler sounds foreign to you. You were supposed to be named Augustus but when I saw you for the first time I knew Tyler was the name for you. You didn't get to live very long, so you might not feel like you have a lot to look back on for your old life. But don't think that you didn't change out lives forever because you did.  You have a younger brother named Alfred. You had another little brother named Mathieu but he lived more with his biological father at the time. I hope that the things in this box help you remember a bit of your past. I also hope that you be sure to make the best of everyday. You were lucky enough to get them again but you may not get another chance.

With love,

Your mother.
