This is, after all, the same couple who took their romance public within weeks of meeting last April, then got engaged barely two months later. And they have made no secret of their desire to start a family together: When asked by PEOPLE in June if they were planning to have children, Holmes smiled and replied simply, "Yes."

Holmes is getting her wish, while Cruise is preparing to become a new father again at 43. If they seemed deliriously giddy before, it's safe to say they're more than a little jazzed now. Shooting all day on Oct. 2 on the L.A. set of Mission: Impossible 3, where Holmes has been joining Cruise daily, "they looked almost like high school kids, unbelievably lovey-dovey," says a source. "She'd go up on the stage with him and they'd hug and kiss in front of everybody. It was pretty much before every single take. They just looked overjoyed."
