Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie's Million dollar babies

B rad Pitt was emotional but calm and Angelina Jolie laughed and chatted during the birth of their twins, a boy and a girl. All "are doing marvelously well," according to the doctor who delivered the babies in a seaside hospital on the French Riviera. The babies, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline , were born one minute apart. For now, mother, father and newborns are resting out of the public eye on the fifth floor of the Lenval hospital, behind windows specially treated to deflect photography. Jolie's obstetrician, Dr. Michel Sussmann , said Pitt, 44, was at Jolie's side Saturday evening during the delivery, looking on as Sussmann performed a Caesarean section. "He was my assistant," the doctor joked. Sussmann said the Caesarean was moved forward from its planned date "for medical reasons" so the babies could be born "in the best conditions." He said Jolie, 33, was expected to stay in the hospital for a few more days and that she now needed rest. Nice-Matin, a daily in the Riviera city in the south of France, put the worth of the twins' photos at more than $11 million. It broke news of the birth and reported Sunday that the couple had sold the rights for the first photo of their expanded family to a U.S. publication, which it did not name, and that the proceeds would go to charity.
