Why can Cystic fibrosis be inherited even if neither parent has the disease?

Cystic Fibrosis is an example of a disease inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic disorder.

Carriers are said to be heterozygous because they contain one normal copy of the gene and one abnormal copy. A baby who inherits cystic fibrosis has inherited the abnormal gene from both parents and is therefore said to be homozygous recessive.
