Is this a normal way to say them in the US? I was in the middle of the conversations with my parents over the phone , so I couldn't answer your call. I was in the middle of talking to my parents. Things have gone the way that I wanted them to , I am so happy about it. Maybe you need to give it a little bit of thought before you do it.

I would only correct the first one: I was in the middle of a conversation with my parents over the phone , so I couldn't answer your call. or a more concise, less wordy way would be to say: I was talking with my parents on the phone , so I couldn't answer your call.

Alternative to 'so I couldn't answer your call', 'so I couldn't take your call.', 'so I couldn't pick up'
