What happened in those 20 years?

After the movie things stayed fairly normal for the next year except for Maureen and Joanne having a commitment ceremony (since they can't legally get married). At that time Mark met Lauren through working on his new documentary which he got a grant for. Not long after Roger and Mimi got engaged and he moved into her apartment. Mark and Lauren became good friends once she moved into Roger's old room. Around that time Benny and Allison disappeared after her entire family went broke, also a family bought most of the buildings on that street and allow all the families to live there (with electricity, running water and phone/ internet lines) for low rent.

Eventually the relationship between Mark and Lauren turned the romantic route, when they were at a celebration for Roger and Mimi's upcoming wedding Mark proposed to Lauren who accepted. The next week Roger and Mimi were married at a ceremony with only their close friends there. Collins was becoming more present in their lives at his HIV slowly started eating him away. Everyone was happy they were all in their serious relationships. In February 1994 Mark and Lauren got married with all their friends as witnesses in a small beach wedding. At the beginning of 1995 Mimi found out that she was pregnant, and in the end decided to go thru with the pregnancy even though there were numerous risks involved. Eventually after a long nine months Roger Bradley Davis was brought into the world on August 28, 1995. Later that year Lauren found out she was also pregnant. In May 1996 Maureen and Joanne adopted Leah so they wouldn't be the only ones without a child. On July 21, 1996 Lauren gave birth to a healthy girl named Christina. Everyone was growing up and adjusting to being parents.

Everyone was getting very hyped to celebrate the millennium until Collins suddenly got sick and with his AIDS it quickly killed him. That new years was barely happy. Everyone was coping in their own way. After a while everything settled back into as normal as possible. It was going good until the spring of 2007, what started out as a cold turned into a lot more for Mimi, she was in and out of the hospital for weeks on end, some good some not so good. She had made up her mind and refused to die in a hospital, on March 18 2007 she died. The past three years were hell for Roger and Brad; Roger gave up music and refused to do anything but mope around all day.

And that brings us to 2010.
