A/N: Wow so sorry it took so long.

3rd POV

Aster's eyes snot open as he gasped in pain, a cry breaking past his muzzle as he jerked in the bed. "I hear you." He whispered, before laughing. "I hear you!"

When the others heard Aster's voice from the medical ward, they quickly made their way to his side only to stop as they saw an elemental standing by his side, her hands glowing a brilliant green.

"Shhh Aster, calm, calm." She crooned while placing her hand on his forehead.

Aster stilled, his eyes shooting to Daffodil Glade, the Sheppard of spring and frowned. He hadn't seen her for many years and was surprised to see her now, if not a little worried. Mother Nature would have only sent her if he was close to death, but then again he was wasn't he.

"Who are you!? What do you do with bunny?" North demanded while pulling the cutlass from his robe.

"I am the Shepard of Spring. I have come to repay a debt, by saving Aster, by pulling him from his mind and healed him enough I have begun to repay one of many debts I owe." Daffodil replied, removing her hands from Bunny's abdomen. Her eyes sad as she looked away, this was just one of the things she could do for her brother Jack, after all she had hurt him so over the last few hundred years. She should have seeked him out, should have helped him and guided him from the day he woke as an elemental spirit.

Aster frowned and tried to get up, only to stop as his jolting pain shot through him. "Who do you owe? You owe no debt to me Glade." He gasped out.

"I owe my brother, he saved my life long time ago and for many other reasons I am forbidden to say." She whispered while helping Aster sit up, placing pillows behind his back for some support.

Tooth fluttered to Aster's side and fluffed the pillows stopping when Aster gave her a soft glare.

"Brother?" He asked causing Glade to nod and sigh.

"Jack, he is the Shepard of Winter, my mother helped the man in the moon in creating him." She uttered out before freezing, her eyes popping open wide. She wasn't supposed to mention that Mother Nature had helped; she was only supposed to help.

"Mother Nature helped Jack? I though iz only Manny helped." North asked confused.

"No, Mother Nature helped too." Jack stated from the door, causing all eyes to shoot to him. Sandy smiled behind him, waving slightly before zipping over to Aster's side and patting him on the head, sand images flickering causing Aster to chuckle.

"I need to speak to Aster alone please." Jack asked his voice flat and serious. North and Tooth nodded, albeit hesitant but agreed. They would ask him where he and Sandy had went and about the robe he wore; only North could see that there was something other than winter magic that clung to the old robe. Something that also screamed the magic of his old Master, but what has Ombric got to do with anything.

"Leave Flower." Jack hissed darkly causing her to nod and for Jasper to raise his brows in surprise. He had never seen Jack even hiss or glare at someone so fiercely that wasn't Pitch.

Once Daffodil left Aster turned back towards Jack, "You wanted to speak to me Frostbite, I bloody haven't got all day." He stated. No he needed to heal quickly and search for his mate and Jack was holding him back, though a little bit of his impatience and anger left once he saw the complete crushed look on the boy's face.

"I'm sorry. I, it was my fault that Pitch got you and Jamie. My fault that you were hurt in the first place; if I only held onto my fear and not let him sense it… you wouldn't have been hurt." Jack whispered out, his eyes downcast as he moved closer to Aster; he just needed to be closer.

Aster couldn't help but frown at that, "what do you mean if you hadn't let Pitch feel your fear? Jack what are you afraid about?"

Jack couldn't look at Aster, he didn't know what to say but he knew that the only way to say it was to tell the truth. "I got my memories back… When… after Easter… Pitch found me and broke my staff, I remember everything and then when I was fighting him all I could think about was you. I couldn't lose you Aster or Jamie."

"What?" It was all Aster could say, he was confused and the boy made no sense. What has his memories got to do anything about it? Matter of fact now that he was looking at the boy he couldn't quite remember him being so tall or without his hoodie. Something wasn't adding up, his nose twitched and the familiar scent bombarded him that he just couldn't believe it.

Listen your heart song… the voice of his mother filtered into his brain.

Jack fidgeted as he looked at Aster, his hands clenching and unclenching. He didn't know if he should reveal himself or not, but he knew Aster; knew the old Aster to say the least. He remembered him now, he remembered the grey Pooka in the forest and snowball fights.

"Jack?" Aster asked, his eyes wide as he heard the now familiar tune, it was so hesitant and yet so full of hope. It came from Jack.

"Please believe me." Jack whispered, turning his eyes out the window and his back to Aster before reaching up to the clasp of the robe before letting it fall to the floor and stretching his arms out. He could hear the intake of breath behind him and felt Aster's eyes burning into his back.

"Blimey!" Aster breathed as his eyes locked onto the extra arms and then the familiar markings on Jack's back. His memory flashing to just before he passed out when he could have sworn he saw his mate, but now that he… Jack… oh god.

"How? HOW! Explain to me why you look this way?" HE demanded, wincing as he jerked his body.

"Lunar, Ombric, Winter and Seraphina. They made me this way, I thought I was the only one left and I found myself in the woods human when two people found me. I died protecting their child, my sister. I woke with no memories." Jack whispered as he turned to look at Aster.

Aster felt bile rising as he saw the familiar mark on Jack's chest. It was of the Spring tribe, but it was the Aster in the middle that told him all he needed to know. That Jack, Jack Frost was his mate.

A/N: Well this wasn't how I planned it but I thought you would all prefer this.
