No. Guinea pigs are not capable of "missing". Likely she has forgotten all about them, and is instead planning to to escape and start her next litter.

How do guinea pigs give birth?
First things First: Breeding guinea pigs shortens their lives, so be aware of this before doing anything. Well you obviously need 2 guinea pigs of different genders, make sure two cages are set up, but in the meantime you can keep them together. When you have seen them mating, or notice signs of the female being pregnant, place the male into a separate cage. You need to separate them before the babies are born or the dad may kill his young. The Mum will become moody and want to eat more, so make sure she has plenty of food and water and will need a LOT of hay/bedding. After 10 weeks she will give birth over night, and the piglets will be born. make sure they are warm and that mum hasn't neglected any of them. Also, check that the pups can all get to mums milk, and if mum has neglected one of them, she will show this by pushing him/her away and refusing to give it milk. Neglected ones rarely survive, but if this has happened, try hand raising it. (I can tell you how to do this if you contact me). After the babies have got all their fur, look healthy and are eating solid foods, they can either be sold to loving homes, or you can keep them, after you have divided them into gender categories, and bought some new cages for them.

Are guinea pigs safe around newborn babies?
you should only have the mother housed with young piggy babies. other adult piggies may trample the babies or the mother could eat them when they are born because she feels they are not protected enough... the babies can be housed with other adults/babies when they are weaned at 4-5 weeks if you are talking about human babies, it is probably best to keep them away... the baby could hurt it or the piggy could hurt the baby by scratching it etc.
Will a broody hen be ok when the babies are taken away?
If the babies are still fluffy and cheeping it's better not to take the babies away from the mother or otherwise, The mother will be stressed and looking for them all day long, Which wouldn't be fair on her. You can give the chickens away when you identified them if they're a rooster or hen.
