Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars or any of its characters, and I don't own the song '6, 8, 12' I have no idea who owns it, but I have a feeling that just because Brian McKnight sings it doesn't mean he owns it. But if you own the song and want to give it to me I'll gladly take it. I'll take Star Wars, too!
Note: return of the sad song-fic! Bwahahahaa! Um, This song is 6, 8, 12 and is by Brian McKnight and can be found on Back At One.
Summary: It's been (guess how long!) 6 months, 8 days, 12 hours since Anakin left. Ami misses Ani and wonders if he misses her.
Ooh, ooh
Do you ever think about me?
Do you ever cry yourself to sleep?
In the middle of the night when you're awake,
Are you calling out for me?
Do you ever reminisce?
I can't believe in nothing like this
I know it's crazy
How I still can feel your kiss
Amidala sighed, and looked up at the stars. She missed Anakin terribly, and it hurt even more knowing her children, not yet born, would never know their father. But then again, maybe not knowing him would be for the best. After all, he might try to hurt them.
It's been six months, eight days, twelve hours
Since you went away
I miss you so much and I don't know what to say
I should be over you
I should know better but it's just not the case
It's been six months, eight days, twelve hours
Since you went away
She silently cursed herself for counting how long he'd been gone, right down to the hour. She knew that he may have forgotten about her, but to the others around her, she did not make it clear that she was very well aware of that fact.
Do you ever ask about me?
Do your friends still tell you what to do?
Every time the phone rings,
Do you wish it was me calling you?
Do you still feel the same?
Or has time put out the flame?
I miss you
Is everything okay?
A sudden noise came from her comm link, which lay on her bed. She took a last look and the city and walked over to the bed. With every step she prayed that Anakin would be on the other end of the line. Deep down she knew that he wouldn't ever be the one, but she kept hoping for a miracle.

Of course, it wasn't him, just like every time previous. This time it was Obi-Wan.
'Your highness, you were to be here for the senate meeting over an hour ago.'
She ignored him. 'Do you know how long its been since Ani left?'
'Your highness, this is the second meeting you have not shown up for. People are beginning to talk.'
'It's been exactly six months, eight days, and twelve hours.'
'Amidala…' he said, exasperated.
It's hard enough just passing the time
When I can't seem to get you off my mind
And where is the good in goodbye?
Tell me why, tell me why
'Why'd he leave me, Obi-Wan?' she asked, on the verge of sobbing.
'I don't know, Amidala, I don't know. I wish I did, it would be so much simpler.'

Amidala looked at her chronometer, it had been a present from Anakin, for her birthday one year.
Sing it for me
Ooh, ooh…
'Six months, eight days, thirteen hours.' She said softly.
