Fasting to make up for missed Ramadan days must be done in Sha'ban before the next Ramadan arrives. No expiation (kaffara) is required for delaying the make-up fast until Sha'ban. Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, used to make up her fasts in Sha'ban due to her being occupied with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Making up fasts does not fall under the prohibition of fasting after the middle of Sha'ban.
