Wire new fan to box with reverse switch loop? [NEED ASAP PLEASE]

[OliverM]

So it's been a minute since I've done electrical, and it was my own stupidity to agree to do electrical without brushing up on my knowledge. Anyway, here is the problem:

Bathroom remodel. Installing new fan/light combo in shower on one switch. So I think that's fine, install the light/fan, and run a piece of 14-wire to the box for the bathroom light. It is a reverse switch loop, and I think nothing of it. At first I wired it blacks to other blacks, and white on other screw for new light (which I remember is actually the neutral in the fan/light box). So to make a long story short, I have this:

2 runs: the original bathroom light, a reverse switch loop, consisting of:
1 black (switch leg)
1 white (power) + ground

my run, from new shower fan/light combo, consisting of:
1 black (switch leg for fan/light, POWER)........going to fan/light box, connected to blue/black wires
1 white (neutral)..............going to fan/light box, connected to white wire
+ ground........going to fan/light box, connected to ground

What do I do from here? Don't I need to pull a neutral from somewhere? Can I do this landing in a box with a reverse switch loop? I should have thought this out before I did it, but I got confused/sidetracked thinking about how switches don't "need" the neutral (Yeah, the switches don't but the lights do!).

I know this is a rookie mistake, I just want to fix it with minimal damage to drywall etc.

Thanks.
