A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN
EPISODE 2- JUST LIKE
STARTING OVER
Setting: The barn on the new "Markham property", we see clothes
strewn around and Ben and Bron cuddled under their doona in a make-
shift bed.
Ben: (Kissing Bron) Well Mrs Markham….?
Bron: (Grinning, rolling over so that Ben is spooning her from
behind) Mmmm, that certainly gives meaning to the name 'Sexton'
Ben: (Nuzzling Brons' neck) God you're sexy….
Bron: Can't get enough of me eh?
Ben: Of you? Never…
A crack of thunder can be heard and a bolt of lightning lights up the
barn, rain can be heard pelting down.
Bron: (yawning) I think the earth just moved…
Ben: (Pulls the doona up over them more and tightens his arms around
Bron) It's been a long day, you should get some sleep.
Bron: (Already asleep)
Ben: (Kissing Bron's forefead gently) Night Bron.
End Scene 1
Scene 2: Morning in the barn, Bron and Ben are sleeping soundly. The
storm from the previous night had left everything shiny and new.
Bron: (Sensing that they are no long alone, opens her eyes to find to
herself staring into the eyes of an old chestnut mare)
Bron: (Whispering) Ben…..?
The mare starts nuzzling Ben's face.
Ben: (Smiling, still with his eyes closed) Mmmmm Bron….
Bron grins, as the mare continues to nuzzle Ben's face.
Ben: (Eyes still closed, gives a little laugh) God I love it when you
do that!
Bron is trying not to laugh, Ben reaches up the run his finger
through "Brons'" hair, realising something is amiss.
Ben: Bron….?
Mare: HRUMPH!
Ben finally opens his eyes and see's the Mare. Bron, meanwhile, is
in fits of laughter.
Bron: (Trying to control herself) Personally I can't see the
resemblance…
Bron: (Squeals as Ben reaches over and grabs her and starts tickling
her)
Ben: (Still tickling her) You, Mrs Markham, are a tease!
Bron: (Nods in agreement)
Ben leans down to kiss her and Bron puts a finger to his lips
Bron: Are you sure you wouldn't rather kiss your girlfriend?
More laughter is heard as the scene ends.

Meanwhile back in the city….at All Saints Western General Hospital…….
Scene shows sweeping views of the sunrise over the Sydney skyline
Charlotte and Regina are standing at the desk……….both peering down at
the floor…..
Charlotte: Well can you see it?
Reg: oh I can see it that's gotta be it………
Reg: Look over there……
Regina moves to the side of the desk…..
Charlotte in her heels follows Regina……
Shot shows both Regina and Charlotte down on their hands and knees.
Reg: yes I think that's it……..oh….oh its not….it's a paperclip….it
must have been the light shining off it making it gleam……
Regina : Sorry Dr Beaumont…
Charlotte: How on earth did you think that was my ring…….
Nelson walks in
Nelson: " Is this secret girls business or can anyone join in" he
says after noticing both women on the ground on their knees.
Reggina "Oh Charlottes lost a ring"….
Nelson "That's why you shouldn't wear jewellery to work Dr Beaumont…
can get lost in the most unfortunate of places….
Charlotte : You have two choices you can either shut up or get down
and help us look for it…..
Nelson: Now why would I want to do that!
He reaches into his pocket and pulls out the sliver mood ring.
Nelson: Is this what you were looking for…….
Charlotte: OMG nelson I love you….thankyou so much….this ring means
the world to me……….
Nelson: From a special lady ey?
Charlottes eyes light up…….
Reggina: didn't Bron give you that ring… er I'm certain she said mood
ring
Charlotte thrilled with the news that her special ring had been found
…..popped a kiss on Nelson's cheek.
Nelson smiles and walks off towards the ward 17 doors.
In the distance you can here Nelson yelling out " You owe me".
Charlotte : Reg I'll be down in Emergency if anyone needs me.
Angus: Charlotte are you in here…..
Angus is seen walking onto ward 17…..
Charlotte says to Reg : Looks like I'll be just here if anyone wants
me
Angus – Oh glad you're here….how's the hand today……glad to see you
didn't do any permanent damage.
Charlotte: my Patients thank you (says Charlotte in a sarcastic tone)
Angus (looking like a lost puppy) "So what would you like me to do
now?"
Charlotte: Well I'm in a meeting from 2 till 4 so you have me till
then….what do you need to learn……?
Angus: Well I've always wanted to crack open a chest…or a
tracheostomy would do fine…..
Charlotte: (smiles) Basics first….how about we attempt to help out
some poor bugger waiting in chairs down in emergency….
Angus: (looking like his balloon had just been deflated) Guess so…..
Charlotte: Angus if I teach you one thing and one thing only during
your time under me….it will be that the smallest of cases…..the ones
that look to be the easiest to diagnose will be the ones that cause
you the most stress…..
Angus: And why is that……..?
Charlotte: Because in the world of Emergency medicine nothing is
simple….Simplicity can turn into emergency in a such a short, short
space of time………..
Angus: Even constipation…..
Charlotte: Even constipation…..
Wait here…just gotta get a coffee….
Angus is left sitting at the desk…..
Ad break
Knocking can be heard in the distance …..Bron and Ben realize that it
must be the real estate agent with their key……
Ben attempts to pull Bron up……Bron holds on tight to the blanket and
refuses to budge….
Bron: But Ben I can't go outside like this…I've got hardly anything
on…I'm sure they'd call this inappropriate country attire…..
Ben: Perfectly appropriate for me Mrs Markham….
Ben picks up his shirt that is lying on a bale of hay and walks out…..
Ben yells back "oh and Mrs Markham…. I didn't expect you to go out in
next to nothing……it escaped my mind for a minute that not everybody
knows the real Bronwyn Markhim…..
Bron: And who might that be? Bron smiled.
Ben: The gorgeous "fantastic in bed" Bronwyn Markham who lies beside
me and makes me complete….. 
Bron: Certainly gives a new meaning to the name Bronwyn Markham…
Ben smiles cheekily while walking away.
Bron sang out "You know I can show you more of Bronwyn later if
you're interested……".
Voices can be heard in the distance…a strong manly voice….."Oh so you
must be Mr Markham… Bob is it….."
Ben: Ahh no its Ben…
Scene shows Bron buttoning up her blouse and zipping up her
skirt…..she runs her fingers through her golden copper hair….and
walks outside…..
Ad break……..
Bron walks outside to join Ben and the real estate agent.
Ben: Mr Jenkins……
Agent: Oh Alf's the name….call me Alf……..
Ben: Okay Alf…..this is my wife Bron…….
Bron can feel the strangers eyes making their way from her head
down…….She wonders why they both are staring at her and why Ben has a
big grin on his face.
She looks down to check she does indeed look respectable and notices
she is missing a button – causing her blouse to gape open.
All is silent so Bron laughs….
Bron: Hehe silly mistake…….sorry about that…do continue…
.Bron is seen trying to hold closed her shirt…
Alf: Here look…..I've got a safety pin in the truck……no trouble I'll
go get it for you…wouldn't want you catching a cold.
Scene shows Alf walking down the dusty path to his ute.
Ben's mobile rings…….
Ben: Oh hi Charlotte …yeah she's just here…I'll put her on".
Bron can be seen making her way to the barn………..
AD BREAK
Back to AS…….
Charlotte is sitting with her legs crossed…on an outside bench……with
a coffee in one hand and her mobile phone in the other.
Von walks by……
Von: You know they say mobile phone waves are dangerous….wouldn't
hold it too close to anything important……
Charlotte: I'll take my chances
Von: don't know how your generation coped before phones became
mobile.
Charlotte: (Opens her mouth to make a cutting reply, but is cut off
when Bron comes on the line) Noodle!!!!! How are you?
Von, hearing Charlotte was talking to Bron, decided to stick around.
She sat herself next to Charlotte on the bench.
Bron: I'm fine…I've only been gone one day!
Charlotte: I know but I miss you already….so how was your first night
in 'Sexton'?
Bron: Well actually, we spent it in the barn….
Charlotte: WHAT!!?? Why?
Bron: To cut a long story short, we got a flat tyre and missed the
real estate agent, so we just crashed in the barn.
Charlotte: (laughing) You and Ben had a bit of a roll in the hay eh?
Bron: None of your business Beaumont.
Charlotte: YOU DID!!!!
Bron: Bye bye Charlotte…
Charlotte: Bye baby, love ya…..oh by the way Von says hi…..!
Before Charlotte could finish the sentence the line was dead.
Beep, beep, beep….
Charlotte: (Sighing) She sounds so happy…
Von: You wanted her to be miserable?
Charlotte: No….I just miss her….and in a way I guess I was hoping
that they'd hate it there, and they'd come home…
Von: We all miss them, but they ARE home.
Von leaves Charlotte sitting there as the scene ends
Meanwhile, back in Sexton….
Bron, with her blouse buttoned up again with the help of Alf's safety
pin, walks back over to Ben and 'Alf', where Ben is reading through
the bill of sale, before signing it and handing it to Bron, who signs
it and hands it back.
Alf: You folks been married long?
Ben: (Slipping his arm around Bron's waist) No, we're newly-weds
Alf: I knew it, I can always pick it. You have that glow about
you….after me and my missus got married, we had enough wattage to
light up the towns Christmas tree… (Chuckles)
Alf: Well you folks enjoy your new house, and if you need anything,
ours is the next property over (Shakes their hands, and goes to get
into his truck) oh, by the way….welcome to Sexton.
Turning to face Bron, Ben cups her face in his hands and kisses her
gently.
Ben: Well Mrs Markham…
Bron: Well Mr Markham…
Ben: Shall we?
Bron: We shall.
Walking hand in towards their new home, they reach the front door.
Un-locking it, Ben turns and picks Bron up easily.
Ben: Lets go light up a Christmas tree…
Bron: Thought you'd never ask.
Ad break
Charlotte is back in Emergency at the desk…
Okay Angus pick a file any file……it's the luck of the draw what we
get….
Scene shows Angus and Charlotte downstairs in Emergency.
Angus: I bet you've already looked at them and placed the most boring
cases at the top…..
Charlotte: Now, now Angus…remember nothing in medicine is boring…its
all experience.
Angus: Okay then I'll have the top file….
Charlotte's pager bleeps out…..
Charlotte: It's ward 17….you start working up a patient and I'll be
back down in a sec…
Bec and Charlotte are seen talking in the hallway…
Charlotte: Thanks for the page….I'll be up in admin if anyone wants
me in a hurry…
Bec: No problems…...
Angus makes his way to examination cubicle 13.
He pulls aside the curtain and introduces himself as Dr Angus…
Upon looking up from the file he notices the familiar face in the
bed…..
Angus: Mitch what are you doing here…..?
Mitch is lying in the bed with his feet crossed…hands behind his
head….relaxed…
Angus starting to get all concerned glances through the triage
notes…..
With his head faced down he says "I can't seem to find the triage
notes…is it the cancer?"
Mitch: You know me Angus as fit as a mallee bull with a brain tumor…
Angus: That wasn't funny….
Mitch: I agree….but what you would prefer the truth…
Angus: So what are you doing here….and why is the name on this chart
"Mr G I Joe?
Mitch: Blame your facilitator….
Angus: Dr Beaumont……
Mitch: Charlotte asked me if I was busy…and you know me of course
not these days but happy to help.
Mitch: She tells me you'd like to learn some procedures…..and what
better place to learn then in a teaching hospital on a
breathing….forgiving person!
Angus: You've got to be kidding
Mitch: Look Angus…you know how much you remind me of me when I was
younger….take the opportunity and use it to your advantage…not many
people have been offered this…
Mitch: Within limits though….might let you do a central line…..
Angus : You've got to be joking…this is a joke isn't it….
Angus had a look of shock on his face…..
Bec: Is everything okay in here Dr Drummond…
Angus: Yes nurse….everything is fine … the patient is a little insane
if you ask me but that's all…
Rebecca: I'll leave you to it….nice to see you Mitch.
Angus: I'm sorry Dr Stevens….but in your condition….I can't perform
any unnecessary tests on you…you've already been through enough….
Mitch was ready to refute that statement but Angus spoke….
Angus: But……..
Mitch: But what….
Angus: Well how about you be my facilitator for an hour…not actually
touching the patients just advising me and showing me the ropes….
Mitch: Can't refuse that proposition…
Angus: Well Dr Stevens lets go and find our first patient….
Mitch: Aaah just when I was getting comfy…..
Ad break…
Setting: That night. Ben and Bron's bedroom. Candles are lit and
clothes are strewn around the bare room. Ben and Bron are cuddled up
in bed, kissing. Ben pulls back and looks at Bron.
Bron: (smiling at him) What?
Ben: I like looking at you….
Bron: (Laughing a little) oh really?
Ben: (Nodding and kissing her hands) And I LOVE kissing you….
Bron draws him in for a passionate kiss, Ben pulls away and looks at
her smiling.
Ben: And I love you, more than anything else on this earth.
Bron: I love you too….
They kiss again as the scene fades to black.
Well, for me it's waking up beside you
To watch the sunrise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
In any given time or place
It's little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you mine
And it's like flying without wings
Cos you're my special thing
I'm flying without
And in this place I long to be
You'll be where it ends
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings
