I think there must be pretty good soundproofing by 500 years from now. Also, I can totally imagine Zoe standing in the dirt in front of some Badger- or Patience-like character, her baby in a sling on her chest and her head cocked over a rifle. Not that it's realistic, but I can see her doing it.
A scene like that would the ruin show for me. I just can't stand the way babies mess with things in that way. No soldier, in their right mind, would bring a baby into a fight or a situation in which a fight might break out.
Also, if there was a baby on board, I'd imagine Zoe wouldn't keep it locked up in her bunk all the time meaning that it would interrupt conversations and arguments around the ship in some way. And I'm not sure a scenario in which Zoe leaves for 12 years would be a good idea. By the time she came back, Mal will have chased off everyone and then we wouldn't have a show.
If Firefly returned and Joss brought a baby into it, I'd absolutely stop watching. I'd rather not witness the characters becoming soft. Mal, Zoe, Jayne....they're not supposed to be soft. They can't be if they expect to survive out in the black. A baby would make the hardened feel of these characters crumble. I just wouldn't wanna see that.

I really hope Zoe isn't pregnant TBH. Admittedly, it's typical Joss Whedon dark realism but it's still a bit obvious/predictable.
It wouldn't exactly be a happy ocassion either, however much Zoe wants Wash's baby. About a week after I saw the movie, I was watching Heart of Gold and started crying when Wash and Zoe talk about having a baby. I don't think it would really offer her comfort for her loss.

Mal: Wheel never stops turning, Badger.
Badger: That only matters to the people on the rim.
