The morning sun illuminated the Curtis house as Sodapop rose from his bed, a gentle smile on his face. Today was the day. Today, they were going to find out the gender of their baby.

Just as he was about to wake up his husband Steve, he felt a small hand tugging at his pajamas. It was Dizzy, sleepily rubbing her eyes.

In the kitchen, Darry was already preparing breakfast, while Ponyboy was at the table, deep into a book. Cathy was setting the table, giggling at something Darry had just said.

After breakfast, they headed to the car, each buzzing with anticipation. Steve drove while Sodapop held Dizzy in his lap, her small hands gripping his tightly.

Two-bit, Johnny, Dallas, and Elizabeth welcomed them at the clinic. Elizabeth's face was scrunched up in excitement - she loved surprises!

Once in the ultrasound room, Sodapop's heartbeat quickened. The thought of seeing their baby, knowing its gender, was too overwhelming.

As the ultrasound technician placed the cool gel on Sodapop's abdomen, the excitement in the room was palpable. The gang held their breaths in anticipation.

The monitor flickered to life and there was their baby, small and beautiful. Steve squeezed Sodapop's hand, his eyes welling up with joy.

The technician smiled and asked, "Are you ready to know?" Sodapop and Steve nodded, holding their breath. The moment had come.

"It's a boy!" she announced. The room burst into a chorus of laughter and cheers, making the baby on the screen seem to wiggle.

Two-bit was whistling loudly, while Dallas was smirking in his usual way. Johnny had Elizabeth lifted in the air, both of them laughing.

Sodapop's eyes filled with tears of joy as he looked at Steve, who was grinning widely. "A boy," he repeated softly, full of wonder.

The rest of the day was a blur of happiness. They thanked the technician and headed out, each carrying a copy of the ultrasound picture.

At home, Darry cooked a celebratory dinner. The joyous laughter and conversation filled the house. It was a day nobody would forget.

After dinner, everyone gathered around the living room. Two-bit made a toast, "To baby Curtis!" Everyone raised their glasses, the room echoing with "Cheers!"

Sodapop and Steve sat, overwhelmed with happiness. They were going to have a son. A boy who would grow up surrounded by so much love.

Ponyboy and Cathy sat together, both excited to have a little nephew. Dizzy was still too young to understand but she clapped along with the others.

That night, as they settled into bed, Sodapop looked at Steve, his joy echoing in his voice, "We're going to have a boy, Steve. We're going to be parents to a boy."

Steve held Sodapop close, his heart full of love. He whispered, "I know, Soda. And we're going to be the best parents our boy could ever have."

Darry, Ponyboy, and Cathy could hear their muffled laughter through the walls. Their house was filled with a new kind of joy, one that promised a bright future.

The next morning, Sodapop woke up to Dizzy climbing onto the bed, looking curious. She asked, "Daddy, will I be a good big sister?"

Sodapop pulled her into a hug, saying, "Dizzy, you're going to be the best big sister our son could ever wish for." Dizzy giggled and kissed his cheek.

The rest of the day, the gang spent planning for the baby. They discussed names, room decorations, clothes and everything a baby boy would need.

As night fell, Sodapop and Steve lay in bed, holding each other close. Their hearts were full with the thought of their little boy joining their family.

The gender reveal was not just an event, but a beautiful memory of love, joy, and anticipation. It was a day that marked the beginning of a new, exciting journey.
