Last night when I repot my nepenthe, just discover the roof is pop up two little babies. Should i leave it and cover back with moss or should do something like... cut?

Eric...i think you should cover up with medium up to slightly above the 2 offshoots....try not to touch or injure the delicate offshoots.
if you wish to cut to get more plantlets, it`s better to wait until the plantlets are bigger and most established.

Eric, the plant may lose these two because you are repotting.

Eric,
You can cut the stem about 1 cm above the 2 new shoots and repot this as a plant. The upper stems can be cut into segments of 2 leaf per cutting. You can check out the article/archive section under this board. I have an article there on how to do cuttings with nepenthes.
