When two hydrogen atoms are fused together to make helium, where from where do the neutrons come?

The neutrons are created from protons. It's about the proton-proton chain reaction. Read more about it here:

In this scenario it takes more than two hydrogen atoms to make helium. In this case where do the excess electrons go?
