Rarity screwed up, and mistakenly believed her coltfriend would stick around. On her own raising her daughter Sweetie Belle would kill her career. Rarity pleaded with her parents to no avail, and came up with the perfect solution to overcome their reasoning. Though there was no time to waste as this had to be finished in time to leave for fashion school.
Story based on cover image.
Update: I could care less about all the thumbs down. All the notifications I keep getting about people favoriting this prove how much people like this.
Chapters (1)
Rarity should be sentenced to have her mane dyed green for the rest of her life.
Now we know why Rarity's mom acts like SB is Rarity's sister.
We also now know why She keeps leaving SB with Rarity.
Does it make Rarity's mom better that she gave in to Rarity's demands, or worse that she still forces Rarity to take care of SB?
Raritys moms fur is pink- But look at the Cakes children- Rares could have a pongon and no pony in Equestria would bat an eye.
What's a pongon? pony-dragon

All your characters speak in exposition, working on that would make for a better story.

So Raritys baby would be Spikes kirin-folk?
So, I notice most other downvoters haven't left comments or reasons behind it. As such, I can't blame you for ignoring them, even though it's generally as good indication of quality as you can get in this site besides personal recommendations. As for people faving this... well, whatever floats their boat, but that doesn't mean it's a good story.
Here's my reasoning behind my downvote:
1) "Rarity's" characterization is abysmal. Not only does her personality not fit with what you have written here, her dialogue could have belonged to Carrot Top/Golden Harvest for all the lack of cues we get from it. She doesn't act like Rarity, doesn't speak like Rarity and finally, this "Rarity" of yours is deranged.
2) The "drama" tag is not appropriate here because this is not drama. It's poorly written horror at best.
3) Your story doesn't tell us anything about where this whole thing came from. We know nothing about her actual emotions, we don't get inside her head. All we see is an unbelievable, cardboard character that we're told loves her daughter, but we're shown she cares nothing for her. I think someone mentioned it in the comments already, but all we see is exposition.
4) There's no real transition for "Rarity's change" here, it's clearly just "I want to make a justification for this comic" rather than an exploration of the idea. "Rarity" is impossible to really make a connection to, and that makes her a failed character. It's short, relatively pointless, and doesn't achieve anything other than cringing.
5) Making her parents racist is a joke. That comic was made way before Sisterhooves Social, unlike this story, so if you want to have "different parents" than the show you have to put a bit more effort into it than just presenting them like that. Even if you claimed they were not the ones from the show (where her mother is pink), their lack of characterization also makes them nothing but half-convenient although questionable excuses for "Rarity's" torture of her daughter.
6) You need an editor. You have obscenely long paragraphs, issues with punctuation and not even consistency when it comes to indenting, which given that it's automatic, makes me think you don't really care to check your own work.
7) The fact that you went serious for a comic like that, and that you actually "liked" it is disturbing onto itself, especially given that the artist himself was presenting it as a criticism of sorts towards skin-bleaching.
I have other issues, but honestly listing all of it is a bit of a pain and I really don't want to read that again.

P.S. Regarding that cover image? The colors of various canon family members show us that pony heredity doesn't work that way.
you know, bleaching one's hair is actually pretty painless...
You managed to make Rarity the good guy here, that's pretty disgusting.
How selfish, I'm disgusted with Rarity
