New Baby Guinea Pig - Need Questions answered PLEASE!

Question

ive already got a guinea pig and i just got a new baby guinea pig who is about 6 weeks old .. i would like to know how i can tell that the older guinea pig has accepted the new guinea pig what would show how she likes the new one and that they are friends ? well a good sign is that they dont fight !

I think she has mothered the new guinea pig because she grooms her and defends her.

Thanks :)
