A few years after
Hal's birth, Witchfinder Sergeant Shadwell and Madame
Tracy announced that they were engaged! It was kind of a surprise to hear that the grizzled "soldier" and the kindly fortune teller would marry, but
Newt and Anathema were very happy for their friends anyways.
Newt was appointed best man, Anathema the maid of honor, and
Hal the ring bearer.
Shortly after the engagement, Anathema discovered that she was pregnant again with another boy. Actually, it was
Hal who told his mummy about his little brother, walking up to her one day with a clumsily cobbled mess of wires (that had been ripped out of the toaster, they later discovered) and saying it was a toy for the baby. Seemed like the little boy had inherited his mother's gift along with her messy dark hair.
Adam Young was still a frequent visitor, especially after hearing that his favorite witch would be giving him another pint-sized playmate. New to teenagerhood,
Adam and his friends were going through a music-loving phase. Their favorite band?
Queen, of course. And he always came over to the Pulsifer-Device house with tapes. After months of admiring
Freddie Mercury's singing, the whole family decided that they liked the name
Freddie for their new member. For the middle name,
Newt lobbied hard for Shadwell and eventually got Anathema to agree. Thus little
Freddie Shadwell Pulsifer-Device joined the clan just after the wedding. He spent all his days wailing at the top of his lungs but, unfortunately, wasn't quite as talented as his legendary namesake.
