When two haploid gametes fuse to produce a diploid fertilised embryo, they each contribute one set of chromosomes, so that the result has a pair of each chromosome. That first cell then divides and divides to produce an entire organism, and all of the cells that result are diploid - that is, they have two of each chromosome.
I hope that makes sense!
