My take on how Carter makes it back to her family. Carter wakes up and realizes Lori has taken her away from her family once again. This time though Carter knows where she belongs and it's with her parents and siblings. She desperately tries to get back to them by leaving clues for her mom to find. Mostly family and how they all deal with her being gone again.

AU. The Swans keep Emma even with having their own kids, but don't tell her she's adopted. Why? After their deaths questions arise and the truth is uncovered when the Swan kids move in with MM/David. Pre-teen Emma. The curse is enacted but slightly different. Lots of family stuff.
