As soon as John entered all the babies stopped having fun and surrounded John. All of them turned their 'puppy eyes' mode on and looked at him. John knew why they flocked him, so he made more plasma balls and fed them to them.
The babies needed more plasma from the sun for proper growth and John had unlimited supply of it. And the babies could feel the energy in John's body and for this reason they loved their 'mother' more.
"You should all grow up fast and be strong." John said. Audino and the spirit of the house felt relieved that John was able to calm the babies down. John waved his hands as brought the living room to its original face. There was a mess all around and he needed to keep everything in its place.
After a few minutes Emma too came down to join John at his breakfast.
"Did you sleep well?" John asked.
"Yes. It's been a long time since I slept without any care for my safety." Emma said.
"You could always leave being a Green Lantern and come to live here. Nobody will stop you." John said.
"I know hon. But I like what I am doing. Saving people. Hala has changed a lot in recent years. They have become more accommodating of the non-pure blood." Emma said. John raised his eyebrows when Emma said that.
Though he didn't care about the Kree, news such as this did pique the interest of John a tiny bit.
"Really? Seems like they have changed their policies a lot." John replied.
"Yeah. Seems to be for the good of Kree."
"I hope so." John said as he served more food for his babies. Emma too joined him and started feeding them as John gave her the power to control some of the plasma balls. The babies were happy to get so much care and attention.
"Have you thought of naming them?" Emma asked.
"Yes. But I doubt you will recognize one from another." John joked. Emma too had thought all the babies looked exactly the same as the other.
"Can you differentiate?" Emma asked in a sad tone as she really wanted to differentiate but she couldn't.
"Of course I can. I gave birth to them." John lied. He could differentiate not because he gave birth to them but because of his omnipotence. He didn't feel any remorse in telling her the half truth. The babies who saw that Emma became sad, surrounded her trying to reassure her that everything was fine.
"See you don't have to care much. They love you. You will soon be able to differentiate once they grow up. Now think of names. Because I can't think of 18 good names." John said. Emma smiled at seeing the babies and nodded at John. She needed to find good names and would take the babies to see their grandparents.
After breakfast with Emma, Jameson too came down and talked with all. Val had decided to stay over for some days and so did Jameson. After talking with the family, Emma took the babies and flew off.
"Son, when will you marry her?" Jameson asked.
"Umm... Soon dad." John replied.
"Is there a problem between you and her?" Jameson asked with skepticism.
"No .. No.. It's just she has been far away for such a long time. Didn't get the time to think about it." John replied.
"She is here now. You can propose to her now if there is a problem." Jameson replied.
"I will.. Let me think of a good date. Then I will."
As they were making such small talks, there was a knock at the door. John turned his head to open the door only to see three people standing at the balcony.
"Come in. I think the House of Mysteries doesn't stop you from coming right in." John said as he knew the three people who came in.
They were John Constantine, Stephen and Mordo.
"It's not my home anymore." Constantine replied. This was true as John had taken the House of Mysteries from him in exchange for Shazam's powers. Constantine normally never joined the Avengers on their missions and hardly showed up at Kamar Taj. John had let him be on his own.
But since they were all here, there must be some serious reason for this.
"I heard you had children. Thor must be angry because you didn't invite him to the ceremony and introduction." Strange said as they all sat down. Jameson who sat opposite could recognize all of them and was surprised how John conversed so casually with them.
"I will take the children to Asgard later. You three are here together. There must be a reason as Constantine never shows up until absolutely required." John asked with curiosity, coming to the main topic.
"We are here because we feel Earth is threatened by someone." Mordo said as he saw Jameson sitting beside. He wasn't sure if he should open the secrets in front of him.
