Firstly you apply the basic rule of fish keeping. "1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water." Knowing that a goldfish will grow to around 10 inches minimum you will supply the fish with a suitable sized tank, (minimum recommended size for 1 goldfish is 15 gallons nominal) a water filter is required to remove the toxins that are created by the fish living and excreting in the tank and a suitable and varied diet. You will also need to do regular weekly water changes of around 50%. If you want the tank to look really nice too then I would advise you to light and aquascape the tank with plants and rocks etc.

Do you have to remove a pregnant goldfish from the tank to have the baby fish live?
Goldfish "spawn" they do not get pregnant because they are egg layers and the eggs are fertilised after they are released from the females body. Goldfish will eat their eggs if they can find them, so either the fertilised eggs or the goldfish should be removed once 'spawning' is completed if you wish to raise some of the young. BTW 1 goldfish spawning can produce many thousands of babys.
Is it possible for a goldfish to only have one baby?
Well, when goldfish spawn they lay thousands upon thousands of eggs. The male goldfish then sprays a cloud of milt which fertilises the eggs. For a goldfish to only lay one egg which, somehow triggers a male goldfish to release a cloud of milt, is highly unlikely. Truthfully, it is the person breeding the goldfish who chooses how many fish they are willing to raise. Technically, they could choose to only keep 1 goldfish fry but realistically they would not be willing to throw away the lives of so many baby goldfish fry.
