Fox drama 9 -1-1 returned on 19 April and fans finally saw Maddie Buckley and Howard Han welcome their baby girl.
But now star Jennifer Love Hewitt has revealed that the baby is, in fact, a robot!
The actress revealed that due to coronavirus restrictions she was "really nervous" about a baby being on set, telling The Wrap that "as a real-life mom I was like, 'oh my God, please don’t let us have a real baby'".

Maddie and Chim finally welcomed their baby girl
But she added that it was "really responsible and great of them to actually choose to do this robot animatronic baby."
However, having a robot for a baby has also been "weird," admitting that they've "predominantly only been working with the robot baby" and it's only been in the past few weeks that a real baby has been on set.
Jennifer joined the show in season two
"It’s a trip because they look so real and they are real. But then, like, all of a sudden the guy will forget to tell you that he’s, like, turning on the movements," she joked.
"And so you’ll be holding it and it will turn its head, but it doesn’t turn its head like a real baby. And then you’re like, ‘Ah!’ So I’ve had a couple of nightmares about a robot baby off camera."
