Geoff has never been big on Christmas, finding many flaws with the beliefs and traditions associated with it, but when he sees Christmas through Kelly's eyes, he finds he's drawn into the magic that she sees as part of the holiday, and when she gives him her gift, she gives him a future he hadn't even dreamed of.The new year brings new changes and new challenges. Through each one, Geoff tries to keep his world to his liking, often striking deals with people around him to do so and involving things as unusual as a French chateau. Through it all, Kelly provides him with the love and sanctuary that gives him the foundation on which to build their future... something he's willing to deal for when necessary. But as soon as one challenge is overcome, another pops up... none more surprising, though, than her sister, Kari, and her husband, Todd, moving to Galveston and into an apartment in the same complex as Geoff and Kelly. What at first appears to be a disaster, though, soon becomes a means to an end as the two sisters find their relationship improves away from the influence of their parents. The spring brings a new baseball season, with renewed contact with Charles Hebert - the storm cloud in Geoff's otherwise sunny world - and another challenge: a girl on the team, which Geoff and Kenny view as a curse, but one they can do nothing about.

A month before she's due, however, tragedy strikes, reminding Geoff how high the cost of happiness can be. The cost seems to go up when Kelly decides to return home to try to repair her relationship with her mother, leaving Geoff confused and hurt when they need each other the most.
