I'm basically saying "I have analyzed and understood this information" thereby creating no need to speculate, for me anyway.

Juno manipulated Desmond, and he allowed it despite having mentioned earlier on in the game that Juno was cooking something up, and that they should be careful from there on out. Making matters worse, Minerva intervenes and shows him a vision of the aftermath depending on his decision, should he choose to let the world burn, he will rebuild it as its shepard. If he chose to free Juno, the world will be saved but will be doomed to its continuous path of carnage. Desmond chose the latter, knowing he would die when Juno told him "You will be destroyed. It will be painless.  You will feel nothing."

Now, Desmond chose the latter because he reasoned "We'll find a way to stop Juno at a later time" (Not his exact words but it's the basic idea). Having said all that, Desmond touches the pedestal (sphere) and he collapses onto the ground, dead, boom, finito. Juno says "You have played your part well Desmond. Now it is time I've played mine."

Another thing, at the ending of the game, there are reports of numerous natural atrocities but the Earth is being protected in some kind of supernatural barrier preventing its destruction. This solar flare will ultimately not "roast" the Earth but one thing remains certain, whatever happens, Juno will be there. Enslave humanity? She will surely try. Will she succeed? The ending implied as such, perhaps it's a foreshadowing of what is to be. Will it happen? I am not going to assume anything at this point but rest assured, I see no reason to speculate just because of what I have already concluded.

Obviously ACIV will be about stopping Juno, but Desmond having a child? Absurd! How could he have had a child when William notes that Desmond "Had a shitty job" and was living in a "crappy apartment"? Desmond is many things but impractical he is not. This is probably the most I ever had to say in regards to speculation but you wanted an explanation, I have given you one. Will it sate you? I don't know. I expect opposition however...
