So you only have one adult platy and at some point that single platy gave birth?

Had to be pregnant when you got it, or sometimes (I believe) they can store all the goods to get pregnant some time down the road.

As much as I enjoy platys, this is why it's good to get only males, or only females. You will become OVERRUN with them if you keep males and females.
