(Sorry for the late reply! And sorry for misunderstanding  Alex's blood letting. We can have Elliot scared after seeing Alex's bruises and begged for an alternative instead like slower recovery?)

It wasn't Alex's fault; Elliot believed that if his mate only knew, he would be cared for 24/7 by Alex no matter what. He shook his head with conviction, his heart breaking with the state he had put his love in. "No... don't say that! Y-you can't help that you've been busy. I'm sure that i-if only you knew, you'd l-leave work for us. It's not your fault! You're the greatest alpha for me and nothing can convince me otherwise, so please don't be like this!"

Elliot broke from his stare with Alex when the nurse approached them and pulled up his love's sleeves. His eyes widened. Alex's arms where blue with bruises and pale with blood loss (he had also seen the right arm when the nurse checked). They looked really painful and the doctor wanted to do more? He shakily ran a hand to Alex's bruised arm. "W-what? N-no. Love..." Alex tried distracting him but he can't, not when he can hear his mate holding back winces and groans of pain. He broke free, looking at the doctor with pleading eyes. "P-please... Stop this. My mate's hurting! M-maybe there's a-another way?" He shielded Alex's hand from the nurse, pushing the needle away despite the insistence of the nurse and his mate.

Elliot held back his own wince when he felt cramps in his belly, letting go of Alex to cradle his huge bump. The doctor quickly acted to relieve the cramps. "Your still recovering, don't stress yourself too much!" Once again he was led to Alex's scent gland, after of which it had calmed him, he was guided to lay down again. "Alex... Doctor, please. I and the babies will keep getting stressed if I should see my love and their Papa hurting again."
