Chapter 4

The next morning Jack woke up in a lot of pain. His groaning woke Mother Nature from the chair she was sleeping in, "Jack, calm down your safe. You're at North's do you remember what happened?

Aiden was starting to wake up as will but was punch out by Sandy as Bunny came in, "Nice one. Sandy."

Mother Nature shook her head as she healed one of Jack's burns, "Jackson," surprising the guardians by using her full first name," look at me. I know you are in pain, but we have to heal you wounds slowly. The aloe will sooth the wounds we can't heal yet."

"Where my sister, Flee?" he asked "Tell she made it off the ice."

Just then Tooth flew in with two containers, "Jack, look at me who Flee," Bunny asked

"My sister Flee her nickname. Where is Flee?" Jack groaned in pain.

Suvi, Aviva, and Aurelia came in. Aurelia was holding the hand of a seven-year-old spirit with a badly scared face, but her eyes were glacier blue eyes. The girl's hair was whiter than Jack's, "Aunt Aurelia, is this really were Santa lives?"

"Yes, it is. Now remember mind your manners, and be..."

"Extra gentle," she smiled at the fall spirit who smiled back.

They walked into the room Jack was in and found Tooth talking quietly to Jack calming him down.

"Grammy Nature," the young spirit said running up the Mother Nature.

"Flurry, come here sweetie," Mother Nature knelt down and let the girl run into her arms.

Flurry did and Mother Nature picked her up giving her a hug, "Jack, look who it is."

"Flurry," he said weakly, "how are you doing?"

"Papa Jack," she smiled at him as Mother Nature sat the girl next to Jake who was trying to set up.

"Jack," Tooth looked confused while she helped set up and putting pillows by him gently and she felt Flurry's eyes on her.

"Are you the Tooth fairy?" Flurry looked her with wide eyes."

"Yes, I am," Tooth smiled at her, "and you are?"

"Tooth, this is my daughter Flurry," Jack making Tooth eyes go wide.

"Daughter?" Everybody was in shock.

"I'll explain later," Mother Nature said watch Jack talk to the little snow spirit talking on how she uses her powers to make snowfall in the Antarctica under the watchful eyes of Crystal a minor snow spirit

Jack smile and ruffled her hair, "Good job did you stop it."

"I had some trouble and she had to help me," the little spirit pouted.

"You're still learning little one. That why you don't go out by yourself," Jack winced felling the blanket rub against his arm.

"Flurry, you stay with Papa Jack. I have to talk to the guardians. Alright I'll be taking Mr. Grumpy Pants with us," Mother Nature pointed to Aiden who was now gagged by a very thorny rose stem, making Mother Nature look at Aviva who looked at her with such an innocent look.

"Alright," she said turning back Jack as she talked about her day.

ROTG

The seasonal stay in the room with Jack, "What is the punishment for attacking Jack, North," Mother Nature asked before North could say anything.

"I talked to Manny about what happened, and he was not happy about what happened to Jack. I've never seen Manny mad till last night. That why I had trouble sleeping last night. Manny says that Aiden will have his powers taken away and will be turned mortal with no memory of every being a spirit and he will have a fear of fire."

"Give me a moment," she left returning with Suvi who walked up to Aiden and pulled rose stem out of his mouth making one of the thorns cutting his lip.

"Do you have anything you want to say?" she asked him.

"What so special about, Jack?" he demanded to his general.

"Jack has something that you will never have," Suvi put her hand on his chest, "a heart," put the other hand on his head and closed her ember eyes. Aiden body glowed bright red and Suvi passed out from taking away from her spirit hood. Bunny caught her before she hit the ground.

"Put her on the couch," Mother Nature looked at passed out Aiden and bit her lip," she used her vines to removes his memories of the spirit world, "I'll take someplace in Sweden. I'll be right back."

When she returned, she looked at the guardians, "You're wondering about the little girl in there that calls Jack her Papa."

They all nodded "Nothing against the boy, but a father," Bunny rubbed the back of his head looking confused

Mother Nature smiled, "Flurry was born in the spirit world. Her birth parent mother was a water spirit, and her birth father was a wind spirit when they found she was a winter spirit they gave Flurry to me and said they didn't want her. All because she was going to have something to do with snow, I was anger at them as I held this little girl in my arm I strip of their power and banished them from my domain and said they would never have their power or their child back."

"But she a child," North said, "I have list of spirit children I remember her last year she asked for a white bear with a snowflake on its belly."

"She's sleep with that thing every night. A few weeks later Jack came to see me about something he saw I was stressed trying make her a bottle and she was crying. He handed me his staff and took quitted her down and made a bottle while holding her. He went to the leaving room where he sat down and fed her putting her to sleep, and when he laid in the bassinet she didn't wake. I couldn't even do that. Jack came back into the kitchen and got another bottle ready so all I had to do was add water and we talked."

"Jack was born in a time where they didn't have bottles," Tooth told her.

"I know, but I was grateful for the help he told me to go get some rest he'll watch the child for a while. I took about a two-hour nap. Jack changed her, burped her, and was telling a story about North and Katherine."

"He knows Katherine?" North asked.

"I don't think so. I have some of her stories in my library Jack loves to read. I finally asked Jack if he would raise her. I would help out as much as I could by then the other general found out about the child they offered to help."

"Jack agreed doing everything he could to teach how to control her power and keep her happy."
