This is supposed to be one of the happiest times in Nicole Kidman's life - and she is content for the most part.  She's still one of the most famous actresses in Hollywood (and certainly talented!), is married to country singer (and hottie) Keith Urban, has purchased a new home, is expecting a baby with her husband, but there's just one thing that has the 41-year-old actress wants so badly, but yet, might not be able to have, and it's breaking her heart...

...she wants her older children, Isabella, 15, and Connor, 13, with her when she delivers her baby.

According to Life & Style mag, Nicole wants her teen kids, who's father is Nicole's ex, Tom Cruise, to be by her side.  However, they live in LA with Tom and step-mother Katie Holmes and Nicole and Keith are currently living in Nashville.  And while that might only be a plane ride away - the question is, will Tom allow it?  He, according to Kidman, manipulates the kids at times.

A pal of Nicole's said, "Here is Nicole, experiencing one of the happiest times in her life, and she can't share it with her kids.  She's heartbroken she hasn't been able to spend time with Connor and Isabella.  She loves them with all her heart and the fact that they never visit makes her really sad."

A source close to Cruise said, "Tom and Nicole get along.  It's hard to keep up sometimes, but they're on good terms.  If anything, he wants to make more of an effort to make sure things are amicable in the future."

Nicole should absolutely be able to have her children there to share in the birth of their sibling!  They were there when Suri was born, and Nicole's baby deserves to have his sister and brother there too!
