If the cats did not actually breed then she wouldn't become pregnant. If she goes outdoors it is possible pregnancy could occur from another cat, or if these 2 were unsupervised it is possible they had a successful mating when you weren't home. If you aren't planning on breeding your cat in the future I would recommend getting her spayed.
