Lots of interesting thoughts. I agree that it seems like an obvious possibility for the girl's origin, certainly a more logical one than "Amy and the Doctor had sex" or "Amy's unborn child is affected by the TARDIS/radiation/magic."

Hmm, I think the main objection I would raise is that River seems to be living in mostly, if not entirely, opposite order to the Doctor. I feel like she is bordering on too old to have the baby later and not know about it yet. Certainly it could happen, but if we assume River is close-ish to Alex Kingston's age, she may be pushing fifty. This is a somewhat flimsy objection, as AK could believably play younger than she is.

Also, and depending on how much older or younger the River we see in Seasons 4 and 5 is, it could reflect badly on River and the Doctor's parenting. If it's, I dunno, twenty years later for her, by all means return to dangerous time travel, but if neither she nor the Doctor are caring for the child (which we don't see them doing), and both are engaging in dangerous activities that could easily leave them stranded far from the child, well, poor kid. Again, a flimsy objection, as we have no idea how much time has passed, and for all I know, maybe the kid lives with her grandparents, which is legit.

The universe ENDED because the Doctor had sex in the future.

I agree that they imply heavily that the Doctor and River are in a sexual relationship, but is that the same as having it confirmed in canon? And I thought the world ended because the Silence messed with the TARDIS and made it explode....
