New Baby, New Lives| Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt
Comfortable as a dad, Pitt seems equally at ease as a supportive partner to Jolie, who struggled with nausea and discomfort in the 80º weather on the Shepherd set. "She was willing to do her job, and she was a complete professional," says an on-set source, "but you could tell that she was pushing through." Still, pregnancy has done little to dampen Jolie's activism – something Pitt has also embraced. Pre-Brangelina he directed much of his extracurricular energy into architecture and motorcycling; now he's also sharing his girlfriend's save-the-world ethos. (He's followed her into flying lessons as well.) "She is very into all these causes," says the source close to Pitt, "and he realizes he has the power [to help too]."

In Haiti the pair reveled in a visit to a Port-au-Prince school. "They both seemed to fully engage with the kids," says Hugh Locke, executive director of Yéle Haiti. "They were totally transported by the experience."

Later, back at the hotel, the couple's joy about their new baby was especially clear. "She looked so happy to be pregnant," says an observer. And the dad-to-be? "Like the cat who swallowed the canary, all proud of himself." So don't be surprised if Pitt buys another ring for Jolie soon. "He's the kind of guy who wants marriage," says the source close to Pitt. "And it's a great match."
