In the time since the ghostbusters had split up, which was about close to three and half years, Peter Venkman has indeed made a major change in his career, from being a ghostbuster, to assistant of Mayor and now maybe future governor Lenny Clotch.
Meanwhile, his wife Dana has her own busy schedule as well, still playing cello with the orchestra.
In fact, she and the rest of the musicians just recently played at a benefit that was sponsored by the mayor, in which Peter couldn't have been more.
The two of them were also busy with the responsibilities of parenthood as well, with five year old twins Peter Jr. and Tabitha in kindergarten and seven year old Oscar, Dana's son from her first marriage, who Peter adopted was in the second grade.

As if they had a lot to balance, several events came to the Venkman family over the last few months.
First, Dana's Father Ward, suffered a stroke, while he and his wife Alice were visiting their son in Vermont, thankfully it was a minor stroke, and he was able to recover.
Then, during a parent/teacher conference, the twins teacher explained that while Tabitha is doing well, Peter Jr. is struggling a bit with reading, writing and understanding certain tasks.
Dana and Peter took their youngest son to a education specialist, who diagnosed him with some learning disabilities.
Peter Jr. now goes to his regular class in the morning, then in the afternoon, the learning resource and special education room to help him improve his skills.
And lastly, when the mayor, Peter and a few other staffers were returning from a press conference, the limo they were riding in was in a car accident.
While the driver was seriously injured, the mayor, as well as the staffers including Peter were able to walk away without a scratch on them.
Despite all the recent trauma and chaos, the family stood together, and life went about, or so Dana and Peter thought.

"I'm home," Peter called out one evening when he came through the front door.
"Daddy, papa," called out Tabitha, Peter Jr. and Oscar as they raced from their rooms to give Peter a hug each.
Dana come out of the kitchen to greet her husband with a kiss.
"Glad you're home.
We have to talk about something, she said, then turned to the kids and said, "Kids, daddy and I have to talk about something that's a grown-up matter."
"OK," the kids said, as they went back to the room, and Peter followed Dana in the kitchen.
"Smells wonderful in here," he said.
"Thank you, said Dana, We're having lasaunga.
"My favorite.
Is there anything I can do to help?"
"The vegetables need to be chop for the salad."
"Right on it"
It was at that moment Peter noticed a look on Dana's face, as the tone in her voice when she spoke.
"Is everything alright?" he asked.
"Not really," she answered.
"Is it your father?
Did Peter Jr. have a problem at school?"
No, it was something that happened today at home.
I had to wash Tabitha's sheet.
I thought Maria did the linings yesterday, said Peter, referring to the housekeep and nanny, who's been working for them since Oscar was a baby, Did she get sick."
"No, she wet the bed."
"That's no big deal, it was an accident."
"Actually, this isn't the first time it's happened.
Maria told me that she's had to change and wash Tabitha's sheet the last three days, because she's getting concerned."
"I wonder why Tabitha hasn't said a word about it."
"Let's go talk to her now."
The two left the kitchen and headed for their daughter's room.

Tabitha was in her room, playing with her American girl doll, when she heard a knock at her door.
"Come in," she said.
Peter and Dana entered.
"Tabitha can we talk to you?" asked Dana.
"What is it mommy?" the child asked.
Peter sat on the bed, while Dana knelt to Tabitha's height and said, "Maria told me that you've wet the bed the last few nights.
"Why haven't you told daddy and I?"
Tabitha pouted her lips and looked as though she was about to cry.
"I..I didn't want you to get mad at me," she said with glistening eyes.
"Tabitha, we're not mad that you're wetting the bed.
We're just upset that you haven't told us," said Dana.
"Is everything OK princess?" Peter asked.
"Yes," Tabitha asked.
"Are you having any problems at school?"
"No."
"Are you sick?"
"No."
"The kids do have water before bed," Dana pointed out.
"I drink too much water?" asked a now confused Tabitha.
"It may sound silly, but that could be the issue," Peter replied.
"Let's try not having any water before bed and see what happens," Dana suggested.
"OK then, said Tabitha, And mommy, daddy, please don't tell Peter and Oscar about this.
"A promise is a promise," said Peter, as he lifted Tabitha up for a kiss on the cheek.
"And Tabitha, promise us to that if you have a problem, come to us about it," said Dana.
"I will," said Tabitha," as she gave her mother a hug.

That night at dinner, there was no mention about Tabitha's problem.
In fact, the main topic was of a camping trip coming up that Peter was taking the boys on, and how excited they were especially Peter Jr, as that he was feeling like a ping pong going back and forth with his different classes.
Peter gave an update on how the limo driver who was injured in the car accident was doing, and Dana's mother called saying that her father had a gret day at physical therapy.
Tabitha herself just said that other than a few crayons going missing, it was an OK day at school.
Later on, as they were getting the kids ready for bed, Dana and Peter tried the approach of letting Tabitha not having water before bed to see if that's what's causing her problem.

The next morning, Dana got up to get the kids ready for school.
She already made breakfast, and had to wake up the kids.
She opened the door of the room that Peter Jr. and Oscar share, walked in and said "Rise and shine boys."
"Morning mom," said Oscar, after her woke up.
"Morning mommy," said Peter Jr, as he got out of bed.
"Oscar, don't forget your book report," Dana reminded him.
"It's in my backpack Mom.
I put it in last night," said Oscar.
Dana then left the room to let the boys get ready.
As she opened the door to Tabitha's room she found her daughter already out of bed, tears rolling down the child's face.
Despite not having water, the sheets, as well as her pajamas were soaked.
"I'm sorry mommy," Tabitha wept.
"Peter, can you do me a favor and get the boys ready for school?" Dana called out.
"No problem," Peter answered back.
Dana entered the room, and gave the child, who was now crying a hug.
